QA 162: Could We Build a Particle Accelerator on the Moon? And More...
In this week's live Q&A, I explain what would happen if we build a particle accelerator around the entire Moon (and what would happen if it generated a black hole), if you can ice skate on Pluto, and is it better to do sample return missions or explore with rovers and landers.

I have a question about star formation. Dr. Pamela Gay. When a cloud collapses to form a star, Light we see from a star today started it's journey millions of years ago to reach the surface. How can a star just swithch on. Wouldn't it take a million years to see the light from fusion? I'm sure we would first see light energy from the heat of the collapse.
