Primordial Black Holes, Ultra Hot Jupiters, and a New Moon
Crater In this captivating episode of Space
Nuts, hosts Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson delve into
some of the most exciting developments in astronomy. From the
intriguing possibility of primordial black holes being linked to
dark matter to groundbreaking discoveries about the chemical
composition of an ultra hot Jupiter, and the recent formation of a
massive crater on the Moon, this episode is packed with cosmic
revelations.

Episode Highlights:
- Primordial Black
Holes: Andrew and Fred Watson discuss the recent findings
from LIGO that suggest the existence of black holes with masses
less than that of the Sun. They explore how these primordial black
holes, predicted by Stephen Hawking, could provide new insights
into the nature of dark matter and the formation of the
universe.

- Chemical Analysis of WASP 189B: The hosts
examine the exciting discovery that the chemical makeup of the
ultra hot Jupiter WASP 189B matches that of its parent star,
challenging long-held assumptions about planetary formation and
composition. This finding reinforces the connection between stars
and their planets, providing vital clues for understanding
exoplanetary systems.

- New Moon Crater: A recent impact on the Moon has
created a stunning new crater measuring 225 metres across. Andrew
and Fred Watson discuss the implications of this discovery,
including the significance of ongoing lunar observations and the
potential for future research into the Moon's geological
history.
