Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson dive into a range of intriguing
questions posed by our curious listeners. From the mysteries of
small celestial bodies to the hypothetical survival of humanity's
legacy, this episode explores the cosmos through the lens of
imagination and scientific inquiry.
Episode Highlights:- Small Bodies in the Solar
System: Bill's question about why small bodies aren't all
fluffy leads to a fascinating discussion on the formation of
planets and the role of gravity in shaping these celestial
objects.
- Leaving a Legacy:Peter's thought-provoking "what if"
scenario about leaving something behind after Earth's destruction
sparks a conversation about the Voyager spacecraft and humanity's
enduring mark on the universe.
- Saturn's Moons and Rings: Martin asks about the
