That's a good one! Here's another one for you: you tell a chemist scientist apart by the way they read the word "unionised".
I live in Scotland, on southern banks of Loch Lomond. I'd been out on the hill around the back of my house, looking towards Ben Lomond many times before, never seen anything. Light polution doesn't help. That night I got an alert on the app, and I knew I couldn't miss it, even though I was getting up for work 5 AM next morning. Sure enough, I saw a wonderful display... To the south of me, looking over Glasgow!
Welcome back, Fraser! 😊
About the auroras, I didn't see it (I usually go to sleep kinda early), but in the next day the sky turned purple just after sunset! (To the west.)
I took 3 pictures, it was a beautiful view. A friend of mine argued that it was probably caused by aerosols in the atmosphere, because of the lack of rain. It does make sense, but the next day it looked normal, still without rain.
So, I don't know... But it was beautiful!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I've seen the same effect (after sunset) from center of Europe. I was curious if it is caused by the solar storm as well
Whoever named that star F U Ori was definitely a Stargate fan who didn't like the later seasons. I hated them twerps too.
Nope, FU for the naming scheme for variable star types, Ori short for Orionis, since it's in Orion.
So, the naming astronomers didn't have any attitude, the star itself has all of the attitude all on its own. ;)
@@spvillano “the naming astronomers didn't have any attitude” - Second that. They name their tools of trade The Large Telescope, The Very Large Telescope, The Extremely Large Telescope… For the next one, I would propose The Mindbogglingly Humongous Telescope.
Nice one, Fraser!!
That bit about the oldest stars answered a question I had some time ago, that no one else had answers for. Many, many thanks for that.
Just started watching again. Recent topics covered have been super interesting. Can't get enough of mars info as well.
He who dealt it, smelled it
Scrolled down to post this haha.
Of course, that was clearly the joke.
Also reminds me of the saying, "if everywhere you go smells like crap, check your shoes."
That joke never works with me, as I literally only have a vestigial trigeminal mediated sense of smell. So, I'll deal with it and not notice.
As a neighbor found out yesterday, when she came by to borrow some floor cleaner and a cup of sugar. Tossed out a fish and forgot about it, it did what rotten fish do inside of the trashcan overnight unnoticed. As soon as she mentioned the odor, it popped back into memory and I tossed the bag down the trash chute.
Whoopsie!
No sense of smell is a godsend when changing diapers, a curse if one gets food served that's dodgy. Enough so that I'm actually resistant to many common FBI bugs that'd hospitalize others. :/
@@spvillano Do you sense mercaptans (thiols), the characteristically acute odorants mixed into natural gas? You should be aware if you don't, gas leaks are way too common and extremely dangerous. A reputable brand gas sensor alarm will go a long way for you then. Some come combined with a CO alarm, which is a wise thing to have if you've got any fuel-burning appliance at all. The gas service will recommend the best placement.
When I was a kid, there was a thorough soak living a few houses down. One day he came home, opened a hob's valve and passed out. When he'd woken up, he didn't remember anything, of course, pulled out a cancer stick and lit it… Amazingly, the bloke ended up undamaged save for a couple scratches, only knocked out by the blast, and returned from hospital the next morning (I guess he was simply too drunk to discharge the same evening, he'd always been). The explosion was of such a force that there was no fire, and I didn't see a flash, but the house literally experienced rapid unscheduled disassembly to the foundation. Miraculously, no one was injured by the blast or shrapnel.
When I was a kid, my dad used to pack up me with my 2 brother and camp on the southern shore of Lake Ontario to see amazing Aurora events, along with the Smelt runs. Later when was in college, I spent 3 weeks in Fairbanks, Alaska since my Army brother in law was stationed there and saw the most amazing, life changing Auroras nightly. As a student with a minor in Astronomy, it was insanely beautiful!
My family went Smelting once on Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes near Ithaca. We got lucky and the night we went the Smelt were running. We caught a couple of buckets worth of Smelt. The problem came when we went to clean the little fish 🐠. We had four people cleaning and all four were new to cleaning Smelt. It took hours. We had frozen Smelt in our freezer for years.
@@mrbaab5932 I know how that feels! We lived close to the northern end of Canandaigua in Palmyra. Great times, but I think I can live without the Smelting!
@@mrbaab5932 never cleaned smelt, but the anatomy remains the same, just smaller.
And now y'all have gone and gotten me hungry! And nobody nearby sells smelt, dammit. Oh well, plenty of perch and similar fish, large Caribbean originated population around here, so a fair selection of warmer water fish. Oddly, no grouper though. A bit late in the day to defrost that perch, might go for that one in a few days, as I do like to rotate my food selections daily.
Meanwhile, my Dad spent the whole week complaining about how bad the ham radio conditions were.
Hah, classic radio operator
11:36 beautiful pictures!
Welcome back. Hope you and your kid had a wonderful time.
Thanks for this episode of space bites, I am a big fan of your videos 😀💫❤🤟
Welcome back!
The story about Curiosity releasing methane is very interesting! I thought that the Maven mission was measuring methane and other gases from Mars orbit. Is it seeing the same methane from the Gale Crater area?

@@archmage_of_the_aether I hope 🤞 it’s it’s not a wet one ☝️!
I missed the Northern Lights because I didn't listen to the radio on that day to hear about them.
The star Eff You Orinus? lol As good as Uranus.
NASA: We've detected methane on Mars.
Martian: Oof, that bean burrito last night was rough.
Martian 2: Quick, let's hide behind the rover, since its camera is pointed the other way. It'll drive them nuts!
Martian 1: Sounds like a plan, let's go!
There were amazing auroras here in Cornwall UK. I was not in Cornwall for the first time in years.... I was under cloud... I even have an alert app, but no dice. I need to up my game! :)
Thank you Fraser, awesome update.
Take this Percy!🥊
Incredible. In my childhood I had an astronomy book, The Violent Universe. I still remember a little poem in it - Twinkle, twinkle Quasi Star, Now we wonder what you are....
And now we've got pictures of one. Isn't progress marvellous?
We missed both nights of the Auroras as we were clouded out. However I have seen more than a few when we have travelled a few hundred kilometres North, they are not infrequent. They're mostly the green curtains and sometimes really neat looking. I have On rare occasions seen white and red elements in Auroras.
Here's maybe something for a question show: I live in southern Finland (like a little ways north of Helsinki) and the sky was clear but I didn't see any auroras while people way further south were posting photos of brighter auroras than I've ever seen at home. What's up with that? Can they have huge holes like that to leave some places completely devoid of the light show? Did I just learn something about the larger-scale structure of auroras through having completely abysmal skygazing luck when everything was stacked in my favor? Or can my timing be at fault somehow, since I know some of the posts were from the US?
If you want to see auroras, just about any october to april week will get a good show in Nunavat, Northern Sweden, Northern Finland, Alaska north of the Alaska Range, and almost any night north of the Brooks range (N. Alaska) or the Ogilvies in western Canada...
I grew up in Anchorage, and seeing the Northern Lights was routine... I just can't get excited about them anymore.
The future of Mars exploration! The Fart-powered Rover!
It was really cloudy and wet where I live in Colorado during the Aurora, so I missed it too.
I think the thing about an aurora expedition is to make sure it's somewhere you want to be even without seeing the lights
02:25 It's ok, Fraser, it has happened to all of us once in a whiles.
Oppie just stepped on a ripe one!
RE Methane on Mars: ever since I learned about Viking's (probably false-) positive signs of life I can't help but think why haven't we tried a new labeled released experiment. Such an interesting topic. The fact we can detect methane close to the surface could be interpreted as another plus for the team that believes life could be found just below the sterilized surface.
Why am I getting Old Spice pre-roll ads? How does the internet smell me and methane on Mars simultaneously?
I am jealous. Japan would be awesome, there is a sumo tournament right now too!
Missed the Aurora in US this year but saw them in Iceland right in the middle of Reykjavik totally amazing
Apparently, we would have even been able to see aurora in central Florida, but it was daytime when it reached us. Crazy.
who cut the regolith?
You said something about an aurora app in a previous space bites
I'm out of luck with auroras because I live very close to the geomagnetic equator. Maybe in the next Carrington event.
😅😰
I saw some auroras last weekend but it took me taking a nighttime photo with my iPhone and the photo showed the faint pink-red aurora in the photo down here in Memphis TN! Very cool and it was my first time seeing one!
And I only saw it looking north!
What is that 'whoa' sound effect, it's unescapable.
I so wish it wasn’t cloudy for me during that solar storm!
I have been living to see another aurora, the thing that got me into science when I was still single digits in age, for decades since 1989.... It was cloudy. The next day auroras also came, cloudy again :( Aurora bright enough to see a reddish pink glow through the clouds on my phones pictures but no visuals of the aurora :( Cant express how sad it makes me but I hold out hope as this cycle is showing itself to be insane and will not even peak until next year so here is crossing my fingers. Hoping this stimulated an obsession with science for some kids out there the same it did for me. I pray they do great things in life with their new found passion.
Cryptobiotic Soil Crusts - like in Hell's Kitchen Utah near Moab, crusts are living ground covers made up of cyanobacteria, lichens, mosses, and fungi. They play a crucial role in preventing erosion, retaining moisture, and fixing nitrogen in the soil. Star Trek The Next Generation: Home Soil, would be terraformers have a murder mystery on their hands after finding their project is being sabotaged, but who are the real murderers ..
Yeah, but it didn't work out with Data...
Whenever I hear about super old stars, I think great. Now point every available device at them and try to identify their planets. Because if there is or has ever been life elsewhere, it will be around such stars (unless they are toxic to their surroundings?).
Fraser. I always love your videos. What's happening with Venus though? There's been a lot of talk a couple of years ago about this. Phosphene. However, are there any concrete plans to land to the surface with a decent camera? I know I've watched an interview you've done about this. Any news?
If it's seasonal, also more at night could the static charge cycle that mars goes through, be some how producing it? And the probe moving also causing static discharge?
South east Ireland we had our sky lit up . I missed it cos I was asleep but many photos were taken to witness.
I missed it too
It was cloudy in my neighborhood the night of the aurora too.
As for the methane leaks on Mars...if it turns out there are large areas of the planets that have enormous repositories of the stuff that can b e released by literally just driving over it...could that be good news for potential future attempts at teraforming being how potent a greenhouse gas methane is? Forget nuking the poles, just drill for gas. And maybe some of that methane could be used as an in-situ resource for future long-term bases.
Elon's idea is beyond absurdly ridiculous. Like, we've just terraformed it, and in 300,000 years it will be fine to live on, just wait till all the plutonium in the ground decays to a safe level… maybe, if our calculations were right. Fortunately, he's not getting his stupid hands on any nukes. This guy always thinks his ideas are right.
I live in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. Roughly Latitude 19S. How powerful would the solar storm need to be for us to see aurora?
Question time! If there was a medium in space equivalent to what we have on earth that allowed for sound to travel - how loud would the sun be and at what frequencies would we hear it?
Toe farts? Wheel farts? At least it doesn't seem to be the rover itself. I know some container in the chemical lab on board broke somewhere along the way, would have been embarrassing if it really was emanating from the rover itself 🙂
No luck with the aurora, I was out several nights but it doesn't really get dark to the north at night this time of year.
I saw a hazy northern sky that was quite distinctly pink for a while, then not, then again later.
6:55 I didn’t hear any f*ing news about this until after it happened.
I saw my first aurora on May 10th.
How do you do this much work, dude?
Practice
Apparently a very faint glow was visible in my area (Georgia USA), but I had to work that night in a town with heavy light pollution, so no luck. Eh, one of these days I'll just go up to Nunavut or something and see a proper, full scale Arctic Northern Lights display.
I saw some pictures of the aurora austrais from Tasmania. Never seen one in real life.
How about the soil material compression? Not the layers but the actual material.
Saw no Aurora in GA, how did fl see it
I can't remember where I saw this information now, but I learnt that this recent solar storm was almost a Carrington level event. So my question would be, how would the world's tech handle a Carrington event? would be lose the internet for a while, would we lose satellites?
Anton Petrov's latest video did a decent job covering the subject, and that video's comment section was surprisingly helpful at providing additional information regarding the effects powerful solar storms would likely have on modern electronics and infrastructure.
The thing about the Carrington event though is that we don't have enough data on it. It's estimated to have been at minimum a level X45 event - far more powerful than the X8.7 one we just experienced but about 80 times less powerful than Miyake events.
@@user-Aaron- x45 wow. Thanks for the info.
A question, Fraser: can missions use a "magnetic dome" on bodies with high radiation fields. I.e. a device that will deflect high energy particles shielding the astronauts. Is such a device feasible or even useful? What Magnetic Field intensity would be necessary?
Oh no, my question didn't get answered! ;-D
I asked a question about P(life) on K2-18b
"He who smelt it, dealt it" Curiousity Rover 2024
I was watching the auroras on the Salish Sea.
But why did they look so much better on a cell phone camera than directly into one's eyeball?
A camera has an exposure time, so it adds up more photons than the eye sees.
13:20 epsilon eridani? They're looking for Spock?
Epsilon Eridani? Isn't that the system where Babylon 5 takes place?
Damn!! Now I wanna rewatch Babylon 5 all over again...
It's also the system contain the planet Vulcan.
It also has the closest named exoplanet with 0.6 Jupiter masses called Ægir. The star itself was also named Ran during the naming competition
Methane comes from the methane hydrates that Mars is riddled with. This was stated by NASA in an article in Scientific American, almost twenty years ago. Methane hydrate is salt intolerant, so yes , the rover rolling over salt would do the trick, dissociate the methane and release the trapped gas.
How do those older stars compare with the stars found in globular clusters? I know the GC stars are also old, they are found in the halo of the milky way and some people theorize they are the core of old satellite galaxies that were absorbed by the milky way. I wonder if they have the same origin.
Does a black holes event horizon diameter grow as its density increases? If so, wouldn’t that reveal that its singularity is not infinitely dense?
The fart effort joke was perfect! Keep the good work up! And keep being so pationate.
2:18 so you’re saying, “he who smelt it dealt it”
How fast could an interstellar object go before an impact with dust would be as energetic as a nuclear explosion (or whatever magnitude device makes sense)?
11:45 In that first Hubble image, some lucky PhD student is going to get to figure out if the shredded matter is conforming to the dark matter halo and serendipitously giving us our first good image of that peskily elusive gunk.
Or more likely do the math..find a negative result and give theoretical physics yet another failed dm prediction to ignore
The quasars were not observed with a coronagraph on JWST. It’s just NIRCam direct imaging, and they have performed careful PSF subtraction. Read the paper carefully.
how does the curiosity farting explains the seasonal variation?
Thanks Fraser for another tasty SPACE BITE , more food for the Brain. Have a wonderful weekend. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
Salt layer protecting methane hydrate, cracking the surface allowing decompression and release?
Or maybe Martians are simply pranking the rover by following the rover while eating their version of chili.
The aurora here had a uniquely cloudy appearance, precisely in accordance with an ill documented law of astrophysics that requires it to be cloudy over Pennsylvania whenever anything interesting is to occur in the sky. :/
It also didn't help that I've got about as much light pollution as a Starlink orbit.
02:25 You want a fart joke? I always fallback onto the old AD&D standing joke, presented as approprately here.
Oppie casts a Stinking Cloud. It rolls a 20! Target takes extra damage and suffers stat penalties! It is now Slowed, Blinded and is Choking!
Oppie casts a Stinking Cloud! It rolls a 1! The Stinking Cloud envelopes Oppie! Oppie is blinded, slowed and choking. Roll for your damage...
I live near the equator, no Auroras for me. 😢
How about this?
"Hello. I am Curiosity, a peaceful robotic rover from the Planet Earth. Take me to your leader!"
"HELL, no! What have you been EATING? Dude!"
Now we know how curiosity killed the cat.
How many of these ejections hit venus?
Astronomers looking at "young hot stars" 😅😘
It's lonely at the observatory at night, they gotta entertain themselves somehow
OF COURSE it was the rover producing the methane, based on the time-proven scientific tautology, "He who smelt it, dealt it."
Is that really a tautology? Surely you mean axiom.
@@TheMcspreader I was taught that a tautology is something that is true in all universes (long before Marvel and DC). Apparently that's not a popular definition. Most definitions just say it's something that's always true. OK, either way. My attempt at humor misfired even among the nerdiest of us.
For the question show: can the black hole quantum information paradox be resolved if our gravitational wave observations someday show a supermassive black hole shredding a “lightweight” stellar mass black hole via incomprehensible tidal forces? In my thought experiment, the gravitational wave data would perhaps be corroborated by EM-spectrum observations. I picture a spontaneous ecretion disk of visible matter appear as the stellar mass black hole is smeared just below the density of the Chandrasekhar limit. If this is a novel idea, I propose the term Toddlinova in honor of my three year old, whose spontaneous eruptions seem to challenge our current understanding of physics.
I wonder if Aurora, New York USA 🇺🇸 saw the auroras?
I've been inquiring about the (un)likelihood of singularities merging. Have you addressed this in an episode I missed? I'll elaborate if you missed my earlier query.
Assuming singularities of course
@@archmage_of_the_aether considering that white dwarfs, neutron stars and singularities we're proven mathematically long before they were actually discovered, it's not much of an assumption.
@@zippythinginvention many physicists think, a singularity in your math means there's something you don't understand, because it's not a singularity, they say.
@@archmage_of_the_aether while that's really interesting, I am posing a specific question that is not that. Thank you
@@zippythinginvention gotcha. But my subcomment stands as a contextualization of your greater question.
FU Ori is still accumulating gas and charged particles and periodically "burping" as the fusion reaction burns off excess material? I wonder if older more stable stars pass through large gas and dust clouds as they orbit their galaxy and then have "mini-novas" on a periodic basis? Maybe on 100 thousand year or greater periods?

After years of research, Nasa realises: whoever smelt it, dealt it
Hallowed are the Ori
re - Supermassive Black Holes
Maybe they were never stars, but instead, they formed from the pre-expansion matter of that super-dense stuff that the universe formed from. In the case of these supermassive black holes, maybe they remained as this super-dense stuff, rather than forming into space and energy/ matter.
That would certainly explain how they could have formed, before there were enough stars to form them...
So Curiosity is like my dad who farts with every step he takes?
can hard radiation make methane from CO2 and Water?
Free methane on Mars in the soil? It could make SpaceX's job of getting Starships back to Earth very easy.
It might be a very thin layer. We need more study before it can be estimated how much is there.
Thks
um... even seen in South Africa.
If the universe started at a certain time could it have been a shape? As it is just my theory - Because sciences say the universe is growing Imagine another type of space beyond the dark matter a Void with things that are beyond any imagination. Example like a droplet of ink splashing into water that is the universe starting the ink solution moves outward slowly, but it is the watery space i imagine.
Star Trek: The Next Generation S1 E18, Home Soil. In it there is a layer of life just below the surface that the terraformers missed. We are ugly bags of mostly water to them...
Question: we don’t know how supermassive black wholes formed, how likely is it due to Populate 3 stars which were huge, and short lived. Surely a whole bunch of these going supernova and merging would result in what we see?
*Holes, not wholes. Whole means the entirety of something. #boneappletea
