[Q&A+] Moon Atmosphere, Habitable Quasars, Sun's Red Giant Phase
BONUS QUESTION STARTS AT 13:22
Will Jupiter system become habitable? How much atmosphere could the Moon hold onto? Do quasars have a habitable zone? And in Q&A+, is transpirational cooling better than a heat shield?
00:00 Intro
00:24 [@Shrouded_Gh05t] Do I think Europa or Titan has life on it?
03:42 [@GadZookz] If Venus had a moon would it be any different?
05:17 [@jamesmnguyen] What's the max atmosphere The Moon could hold onto?
06:44 [@Storm-Krow] Could current students work with James Webb or ELT?
09:49 [@PhoenixWarp1] Would Jupiter or Saturn become habitable during Sun's red giant phase? 10:49 [@ThexBorg] Do quasars have a habitable zone?
13:22 [@irwin2335] Transpirational cooling, better than a heat shield?

I love all the content. I also struggle to keep up but that is OK. I get behind when I am busy and catch up when I am not. I do find since I am behind I don't make it all the way through some of the interviews but that is uncommon. Keep up the great work.
You are not creating too much content, the more the better, there is always something to learn on this channel. I love it.
I love the interviews. Bring em on.
I do NOT think you're making too much content. I want all of it. I am hungry for this sort of information, and you are one of the few sources of truly reliable information about space in a sea of slop. Some weeks I'm busy, and I just watch space bites. But often times I am watching/listening to ALL of it.
I don’t watch movies. I don’t watch TV. I don’t watch YuckTube. I only watch you and other science/tech content on Patreon, Nebula (lifetime subscriber), Odysee, TED, etc. Please don’t turn down your fire hose unless you need to for your quality of life, regulating costs, or to maintain quality. Those are all valid reasons. Some audience members lacking time is not IMO.
Great content, great quality but im also struggling to keep up - catch up on space bites and q+a but sadly missing some of these great interviews.
Yeah... that resonance with me, great content and great quality as always, but it's my problem not keeping up :)
Content is great. You just produce so much that I have trouble keeping up.
I feel the content is at it's best quality/quantity level!
Keep up the quality. Unfortunately, I don’t have time for all of it.
I added Universe Today because I needed more content. As I mentioned in my interview, I really enjoy Planetary Radio but the amount of content was so limited, I looked for more and found your material a perfect solution. I am retired and exercise and do housework and mindless chores to your content.
I have plenty of bandwidth for the amount of content you currently make. Keep it coming!
I'm good w/bottomless non-ad filled content.
I'm not entirely sure what the downside is for me if there is too much good content. Then I get to be more selective in what I want to watch. Sure, if that ruins the algorithm for _you_ that's potentially a problem. But why should I complain about too much content? I don't get it. Is it a fomo thing?
Keep it coming buddy! You can NEVER create "too much" content! Ever!!
Hope you not mind answering this ' silly ' question Fraser ? But we know that Black Holes consume all matter and light, but how can we still see in either wavelength Jets shooting from the centre front and back - if nothing escapes a Black Hole - I've always wondered 🤔 thank you.
From deepseek ai chatbot: That’s not a silly question at all—it’s one of the most common and insightful puzzles about black holes. The key is that the jets do not come from inside the black hole—they come from the superheated material outside it, specifically from the accretion disk. Here’s the step-by-step: 1. The “point of no return” is the event horizon. Anything—light or matter—that crosses this boundary is gone forever. 2. The jets launch from regions far outside the event horizon. As gas and dust spiral inward, they form a flattened, superhot disk. Intense magnetic fields twist through this disk. 3. Those magnetic fields can funnel some infalling matter away from the black hole, accelerating it outward as twin jets—before that matter ever reaches the horizon. 4. So the jets are made of particles that almost fell in, but got redirected at the last moment. They escape, travel at nearly light speed, and emit light (radio to X-rays) as they go. Think of it like a whirlpool: water that goes over the waterfall’s edge is gone, but the splash and spray shooting upward just before the edge are still visible. The jets are that “spray,” not the water that fell in. So nothing escapes a black hole—but plenty happens just outside it. That’s what we see.
I watch Space Bites, Q+A and Overtime religiously. I fit in the occasional interview and every single time I do I love it. I’d rather spend all my free “screen time” watching Fraser than anything else. Thanks for making my life better. Moose! (The Canadian version of cheers!)
Everything Fraser and his team broadcasts about the universe is top quality. I hang on every word. Then someone asks him about his pets or whether he dyes his beard. Fast forward.
Double speed for the win!
Personally I’m glad to see such quantity. It was a deciding factor to become a patron here, not previously having heard of the channel on YouTube or the website. When I come here looking for something interesting to read, I can usually find something from Fraser. I like his style of delivery, there’s nothing worse than a news creator determined to *be* the news. Here, it’s not like that, it’s not all about Fraser, it’s all about his space news. Space is utterly amazing and I can’t get enough of it!
I really enjoy all of your programming. I’m retired and have the time. I hope it helps keep my mind working and living longer. Thank you for what you do. Peace, Rap
it's not too much at all. if people have time to watch, great, if not, that has nothing to do with the amount of content you put out. Quality matters, and its great as usual!
Keep'em coming ! It's not too much!
Zero defects. Maintain current content speed warp factor 10. Quality is a 10. Quantity... no such thing as too much.
Quantity is not a problem as long as quality doesn't degrade. As far as I'm concerned you can never have too many interviews. And I can watch those at 1.5x or more, if the accent isn't too... harsh (? - that's a harsh word, but you know what I mean)
