The Crumbling Line Between Planets and Stars - Dr. Gibor Basri, Astrophysicist U.C. Berkeley

UC Berkeley professor Gibor Basri studies brown dwarves - cool
objects that are not quite planets, not quite stars. But before
we could get to the strange phenomena of these deuterium and
lithium fusers, we had to cover some basics. How do you tell the
difference between a planet and a star? Is it thier formation,
their location, or something else entirely? The answer is fuzzier
than you would expect - and requires us to take a trip into the
dark, cool reaches of our galaxy, where stars and planets alike
are being formed in the safety of the nebular nurseries hidden in
the dark arms of our pinwheel Milky Way. There we discover that
star formation, often spoken of as an exclusively gravitational
process, is midwifed by chemistry, electricity, and magnetism.
Come explore what happens in the dark, cold reaches of space, and
how the darkness gives rise to light.

PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying
microbial communication at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting and exploring the woods. Michael Shilo also did his PhD
at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water.
When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music.
They are both freelance professors at various universities.
