Embark on another cosmic journey with your favorite celestial
explorers, Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson, in this
insightful Q&A episode of Space Nuts. This time, the mysteries
of the outer solar system take center stage as we delve into the
elusive Planet Nine. Duncan from Weymouth, Dorset, ponders whether
a rogue planet might have once danced through our neighborhood,
stirring the orbits of distant objects before continuing on its
cosmic path. Could this explain the peculiar movements without the
need for a ninth planet?
Next, Rusty revisits his solar pergola concept, but with a twist.
Imagine a constellation of satellites, each casting a penumbral
shadow upon Earth, designed to reduce solar exposure by a subtle
2%. With advances in technology, could this be the geoengineering
marvel we deploy within a decade to temper our planet's
fever?
David from Seguin, Texas, presents us with a tantalizing "what if":
If you could step foot on any exoplanet, which would it be? Andrew
and Fred share their interstellar real estate preferences,
revealing the allure of Earth-like worlds and the practical
considerations of cosmic travel.
Lastly, we're tackling some homework from our inquisitive
listeners. Wayne's curiosity about supernovas and gravitational
waves leads to a discussion on cosmic symmetry, while Lee's
question about InSight's ability to triangulate Marsquake
epicenters unveils the intricate modeling of the Red Planet's inner
structure.
So, fasten your seatbelts for a voyage through the wonders of space
science, where questions spark discovery and the universe's secrets
are just waiting to be unlocked. Don't forget, your questions might
just be the next puzzle piece in our grand cosmic understanding, so
keep them coming!

(00:00) Andrew Dunkley: This is the separated second half of Space
Nuts q&a
(02:23) Our first question comes from a regular Duncan. Just
wondering about planet nine episode
(03:47) Andrew says rogue planet could be caused by passing star or
other interference
(08:10) The solar system is very difficult to understand without
planet nine, says Mike Brown
(10:26) Rusty suggests solar pergola could help solve climate
crisis
(17:03) Plus it increases our classification as a. Civilization in
doing so
(17:29) What if y'all could step foot on any planet outside our
solar system
(21:34) Whether or not a supernova can cause a gravitational wave
was asked recently
(26:36) Professor Fred Watson and Huw in the studio for Space Nuts
