What's the furthest galaxy we've seen with JWST? What the maximum speed possible to achieve with gravitational slingshots? Is lunar Starship destined to topple? And in Q&A+, how many interstellar objects have we missed? Watch the video here (with no ads) or on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qijpsdVdkxE

James Webb can't resolve Earth-size planets around Sun-like stars. Not just because of the contrast but also because of the diffraction limit. To do that you need a mirror of 20+ meters. But what if you increase the size in just one direction? You get the required resolution but keep the mirror rela

Why doesn't NASA remove the artefacts from JWST images? How would TRAPPIST-1 planets look from their surface? Why don't they just form space telescope lenses from liquid glass in space? And in Q&A+ what shape does the solar gravitational lens look like? Answering all these questions and more in this

Can we refuel James Webb at L2 when it runs out of propellant? What will the Dragonfly octocopter see on the surface of Titan? Will discovering life on Mars stop us from going there? And in our extended Q&A+ on Patreon, what are space things I'm hoping to see in my lifetime? Answering all these ques

Does building more JWSTs for different parts of the spectrum make sense? Are star types predetermined at their birth? Can you cook a pizza on the Sun? Why is the Sun's corona hotter than its surface? Are there binary supermassive black holes? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

Starship completes its 6th flight test, Webb analyzes a star in another galaxy and confirms the Hubble tension, again, and a new explanation for the moons of Mars. Watch here (with no ads) or on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CgZWahb-TY8

Could we repair missions like JWST and Gaia? Polaris Dawn returns to Earth, did Earth once have rings? and a peanut-shaped asteroid just drifted past Earth. Watch the video here (with no ads) or on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hm44Blv5Y0k

TRAPPIST-1 is one of the most interesting systems out there. JWST did observe them but we still don't have the results from all of them. Why is that and when can we expect to know something about their atmospheres? Finding out in this interview. 🟣 Guest: Dr Julien de Wit https://www.disruptiveplane

It's already been two years of JWST operations. In this episode, we accumulated all the major scientific results, all the amazing images and graphs, and all the important discoveries and controversies. Enjoy the ULTIMATE GUIDE to the second year of James Webb. Watch the video here (with no ads) or o

Why doesn't JWST look at Apollo landing sites? What happened to TRAPPIST-1 atmospheres? What's the biggest thing we can measure our velocity relative to? Will the Universe ever start bouncing back? Answering all these questions and more in this week's Q&A show. Watch the video here (with no ads) or

Huge Kuiper Belt discovery! With James Webb, astronomers were able to see that Eris and Makemake showed signs of geothermal activity. How exactly did that happen? Figuring out with Dr Christopher Glein, Lead Scientist at Southwest Research Institute. Watch the video here (with no ads) or on YouTube:

We all know the Hubble Deep Field as one of the most important astronomy images of all time. But when will we get a similar attempt from Webb? What will we be able to get from it and what are the limits of JWST? Finding out with Dr Viraj Pandya from NASA. Watch the video here (with no ads) or on You

The Hubble Tension is one of the most exciting mysteries in modern day science. Different methods give different results for the expansion of the Universe. So, how can we solve this and can James Webb help us with that? Or will it make things even worse? Finding out with Physics Noble Prize laureate

One of the discoveries done by James Webb was the presence of methane in the atmosphere of an exoplanet WASP-80b. How exactly did they do it and what will JWST be able to do with similar cases in the future? Looking for answers with Dr Taylor J. Bell from NASA Ames Research Center. Watch the video h

Did James Webb already reach its full potential or is there more to come from it? How does TESS compare to Kepler? Can we use Starlinks as a giant space-based interferometer? Can we rip a black hole apart to see what's inside? Answering all these questions and more in this week's Q&A! Watch the vide

Three stars mysteriously vanished. So much JWST news. Hundreds of volcanoes on Io. Starship is ready to fly again. Watch the video here (with no ads) or on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nQXPuYTMAoM Three Stars Disappeared // So Much JWST News // Io's Global Magma Ocean (Vimeo)

How can neutrinos arrive faster than light? How did OSIRIS-REx get samples of an asteroid? Can we extract energy from gravitational waves? When will we be able to discover our first exomoon of an exoplanet? How can we measure the mass of Jupiter's core? Answering all these questions and more in this
