In this episode of Space Nuts Q&A, Andrew and Fred answer
questions about supernovae, 3D printed telescopes, the Voyager
space probe missions, and the possibility of using particle
collision in space. They discuss how supernovae explosions do not
blow away the gravitational field and how neutron stars develop as
a result. They also provide insights into 3D printed telescopes and
suggest that beginners may find it easier to start with an
off-the-shelf telescope. They talk about the trajectory and
potential fate of the Voyager spacecraft and discuss the challenges
of building particle colliders in space. Overall, they provide
informative and engaging answers to the audience's questions.
Takeaways Supernovae explosions do not blow away the
gravitational field because gravity is associated with mass. The
explosion only affects the outer envelope of the star, while the
core collapses to become a neutron star. 3D printed telescopes can
be a good option for beginners, but it may be easier to start with
an off-the-shelf telescope. 3D printed telescopes require more
components and may involve more fiddling around. The Voyager
spacecraft will continue on their current trajectories and are not
expected to pass near any star systems within human lifetimes.
However, if they were near enough to Earth, they could be
detectable by extraterrestrial intelligence. Building particle
colliders in space is challenging due to the need for precise
guidance and the high velocities of the particles. It may be more
cost-effective and realistic to continue building particle
colliders on Earth. The fate of the Voyager spacecraft is
uncertain, but they could potentially be captured into orbit around
another star or collide with other objects. They will likely
outlast our species and continue on their trajectories away from
the solar system. Chapters 00:00 Volcanic
