9:02 RHCP - "Otherside" was the least expected thing here! Made me jump out of my chair. How long did I not know they were actually singing in Chinese LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I don't think I want to poke Uranus. I might not like what happens. But I'd sure like to know the answer to some important questions, such as "How does the gas from Uranus smell?"
(I'll skip the poop joke this time. Mostly because somebody else did it already.) I want you to do a show about habitable zones around *white dwarfs* and *brown dwarfs.* I've done the physics on them myself, and it looks like both kinds of object can have habitable zones for billions of years.
@@cantionaleecclesiasticum5378 with white dwarfs, I went by the WD effective temperature of 6500K as the beginning of the habitable zone's existence, and the end of the HZ's existence came when the its outer edge fell below the WD's Roche Limit. Depending on the mass of the WD, that could be anywhere from 1.5 billion years to almost 9 billion years, with WD's having a mass of 0.58 solar masses having habitable zones for the longest amount of time. Thus the spectrum of light within a HZ near a white dwarf should be suitable for photosynthesis for quite a long time. However, I didn't assume that there would be a planet in the habitable zone. I wanted to know whether there could be a civilization of space-station dwellers in that kind of place. The longevity of the habitable zone could be extended if, when the WD cooled a bit, the colonists would run outside (in space suits) with aerosol cans of matte black spray paint and darken the outside of their stations and make their Bond albedo something around 0.05, instead of the albedo of matte shiny metal, which is about 0.5. For brown dwarfs, I began the habitable zone's existence at a brown dwarf age of 3 billion years, which is when the brown dwarf has settled down and isn't puffy anymore. The end of the HZ came about for the same reason that it did with white dwarfs: the outer edge of the HZ fell below the brown dwarf's Roche limit. I'd certainly like to watch a Fraser video about habitable zones near white dwarfs and brown dwarfs.
@@cantionaleecclesiasticum5378 For white dwarfs, I begin the habitable zone when the WD has cooled to an effective temperature of 6500K. For most of the time a habitable zone exists, a planet in it will receive enough light for photosynthesis. For brown dwarfs, the situation is different. I begin the habitable zone of a brown dwarf when the brown dwarf reaches an age of 3 billion years, which is about the amount of time it needs to settle down after initially being puffy. The effective temperature is typically around 1400K, and gradually cools further thereafter, meaning that most of its radiation is in the infrared. For both white dwarfs and brown dwarfs, I assume that the habitable zone's existence ends when its outer edge falls below the radiation source's Roche Limit. But I assumed that people would be living inside large space stations, rather than on planets (which might not exist in the HZ). Light for photosynthesis would be made artificially and plants would be irradiated with the necessary wavelengths by LED emitters.
Titan is 1.3 light hours away from Earth, and we don't even have a high-detail radar map of the surface of Titan, and yet we are already sending a rotorcraft to Titan. There is a high probability that we will bump into a boulder down there. NASA really should have prioritized Enceladus and Uranus instead.
I Don't know what do you mean by 'high detail" but we do have radar maps of Titan and data from actually landing there with huygens, also Dragonfly will also autonomously decide the best place to land.
this isn't a Mars landing where you're coming in terminal at 220 mph in a skimpy atmosphere: aka 7 minutes of terror, this is Titan, the atmosphere is classified as "soup". EDL is like 4 hours of yawn. There is lots of margin available for boulder avoidance.
Maybe it got its off kilter orbit because a long time ago it was much smaller, and got hit by something big enough to change its orbit, and make it the size we see it now.
hahah very funny! Made me laugh out loud and my wife asked me'what is going on?!' And I loved your brilliant pronunciation to make it serious and frolicsome at the same time! 😂
I understand uranus make all Americans giggle, but he was the father of all life on earth, the god of the sky, and ended up being castrated by his sons, the titans
Ok..for clarification; When astronomers say ”dust” they don’t mean the stuff we find on our baseboards but rather rocks and boulder sized material? Right?
always look forward to all the space bites and all the 15-20 min Q&As...but i still dont know how big of a magnetic hat i need, nor how much water i need to hold above my head to survive on mars...lol
Any idea why there isnt a robotic arm on the helicopter? I woudnt launch until it has a means to right itself in case of an emergency. It seems about as strange as the lack of blowers of wipers on solar power powered mars rovers
density is mass devided by volume. time dialates with density. gravity is the difference in dialsted time. magnetic fields are waves of dialated time that mass reacts to depending on its relative density.
I think one of your videos, if not this one, ask for viewer questions…I have one I’d love information about…space “directions”, launch windows, grav assist, etc. Basically…if I wanted to drive my Jetson-like flying car past the moon, cruise by Mars, and finish up doing donuts on Saturns rings…what would my “turn-of-the-millennium” Google Maps tell me?
Regarding the stinky smell, I don't know if you know about Eau de Space, the "fragrance" that was released back in 2020. It was purported to simulate the smell of space. It was a whole thing, Kickstarter and everything. It sounded not-too-terrible to us perfume aficionados, and was an especial curiosity to us space freaks. Worst thing I've ever smelled, by some distance. I personally expect space, at least that gas around a galaxy, to smell like burnt tires or some other industrial thing, but I bet the smell of space, if we could actually agglomerate those molecules, would be pretty detestable.
The title is something that only planetary scientists or emergency room doctors would ever ask. ;)
I'm not a rocket surgeon, but what's inside Uranus?
You won the internet today with that comment! 😂

There was a bar in Vancouver called “the pump-jack”. I got asked a lot

Hahaha. Good one boo
Havent been on for a while so its nice to know Uranus is still right where its supposed to be.
That’s the deepest we’ve ever dived into Uranus
It was a hairy raising ride!
whats inside Uranus, followed by stinky smells? you got my upvote Fraser. Never gets old.
It won't be stinky if you wash it and put some lotion in it.
The joke would've been funny until we see how the name is really pronounce, yr·ay·nuhs.
How did Uranus get so big?
Whoever named Uranus is an angel who has been making school children giggle for centuries ❤️
Centuries?
@ChinnuWoW sorry I didn't look into it. When was Uranus discovered and named? I presumed it was at least a couple of hundred years ago.
…and whoever gave it two different pronunciations is another angel. yur-ANUS / URINE-ous
@RockHudrock no kidding eh.
The comments do NOT disappoint.

That's probably NASA's top requirement. Can you make that joke with a straight face.
Best title ever
I can't enough of Uranus
But, will sending more probes really widen our understanding and get to the bottom of these questions?
No, not really. They are just fancy toys.
Yes? We have very little information, at the very least learning more couldn’t hurt.
I love the rocket fireplace. I have a tiny house and while my fireplace is fully functional, i have replaced the burning with simulations

this is interesting!
Do they produce enough light for photosynthesis to occur on the planets surface? Is the range of this light safe for carbonaceous organisms?

You're never too old.
Isn't that a bit of a personal question?
Helicopters on Titan and tiny swimmy robots on Europa. And these things are actually close to happening. It's a great time for space exploration.
Next time there’s news about Uranus you need to get that EMT to introduce the segment!
Maybe it got its off kilter orbit because a long time ago it was much smaller, and got hit by something big enough to change its orbit, and make it the size we see it now.
You mean it was penetrated by a large space object?
Really??? I didn't see that one coming from you! 🤣

2 cores - uranus core and the planet that tilted uranus

What nuggets of truth might we find?
What fresh bits of information might come out of Uranus?
Unmentionable!
Ok..for clarification;
When astronomers say ”dust” they don’t mean the stuff we find on our baseboards but rather rocks and boulder sized material?
Right?
The stuff you find on your baseboards has a lot of human skin, so... no. Astronomical dust is more like smoke.
As a kid I loved the picture of the Sombrero Galaxy I think in Frontiers of Astronomy (Hoyle). The new photo is rather... different.
This really shows how JWST sees through the dust

I knew this was going to be a crap video just by title.. lol, love your work, keep it coming!
I hope we delivered the crap you were hoping to see.
It's because Uranus is a bowling ball. Its core is asymmetric which causes it to roll sideways, and the axis is chaotic
How will we know for sure? It needs to be probed.
The smell actually might have been me. It was bean night on the space station.
Any idea why there isnt a robotic arm on the helicopter? I woudnt launch until it has a means to right itself in case of an emergency. It seems about as strange as the lack of blowers of wipers on solar power powered mars rovers
density is mass devided by volume.
time dialates with density.
gravity is the difference in dialsted time.
magnetic fields are waves of dialated time that mass reacts to depending on its relative density.
What exist in these ice giants Uranus and Neptune at the vast level of one earth atmosphere pressure?
How did we map the magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune and the other planets?
Voyager 2 made a flyby of both Uranus and Neptune and detected their magnetic fields. It's the only time we've gotten close to them.
