If you’ve been distracted looking at the amazing photos The James Webb Space Telescope has taken, not to worry. Here are three other stellar stories from the last year of space science!

Wait! I’m confused. When you say “remnant” of a supernova, do you mean the core object or the stuff that it ejected? Are you talking about the distribution of cores, or the interactions of the clouds of ejecta?
Talk a bit slower please x
News. This is so cool.

Alien "I will keep watching after I get some sleep.
Alien: wakes up 3 hours later and sees a moon Huh?
As excitable as the "waking up AND FINDING A WHOLE MOON THERE" was (especially at increased playback speed), I don't think it really quite captured how most of us would have reacted. 😆
A* for effort though.
Another neat little detail about the Moon Formation simulation is that a second, even larger blob of collision debris formed from the impact at the same time as the proto-Moon blob, only to fall back into the proto-Earth and re-merge, and as it did so its gravity slung the proto-Moon out into a stable orbit.
Off topic, but I love that shirt!
Have we found any stars in intergalactic space? After they’ve been ejected.
Warp drive wouldn't fit on a ship instead they'd be huge space stations fling ship long gravitational Waves of warped space time
The theory that the moon formed in only a few hours is about twenty years old. The first computer simulations of the Earth/Theia impact had the Moon forming in less than 24 hours. This was TWENTY years ago, mind you.
Is keeping the same cadence for all the presenters a choice?
It probably took longer to create the computer animation than it took for the moon to actually form.
I bet, all computer model did not account for Jupiter and Saturn.
Wow, Savannah is awesome. They're talking fast, but also quite clearly, so they're easy to understand. Hank is just one among several excellent hosts.
Naw the host ain't it I'm afraid 🙁
Completely ejected? Imagine running into a rogue black hole in intergalactic space and just having no heads up because there’s nothing around for it to screw with except you.
Hi Savannah!
I wanted to make a joke of intentionally misinterpreting what they meant by JWST
Only to find out that there aren't really any other uses of JWST
I like all the presenters, but Savannah has their own special blend of enthusiasm and clarity. Really enjoyed this!
This makes me wonder… how does a planet getting hit by, y'know, asteroids or comets or whatever, affect the other objects in the solar system, if at all? Like, did the Chicxulub asteroid impact only affect Earth?
savannah speaks so clearly despite how fast they talk, please have them host more videos!! they’re really becoming one of my favourite hosts
You talk fast
……how do you do that???
Cool.
Yet another top-notch video, SciShow! Here's a like and comment for the Almighty Algorithm, in return.
❤️❤️
I love Savannah's dino bones with flowers shirt!
super cool T-shirt !!!!
The moon formation being fast doesn't surprise me considering it formed from something hitting the earth and that collision threw a chunk of debris into earth's orbit. It would be easy to assume that there was a single chunk that was very large that became the main satellite going around the earth, and it would have been incredibly hot. It would have pulled in other chunks in that orbital path pretty quickly, or pulled them into that orbital path for later collision or pushed objects out of that path as its gravitational force became larger.
Hey maybe in a take on God we can say that body that crashed into Earth was the hand of God because without it life would have been very different or may have been wiped out after it started. It could be that without that chunk the earth's core wouldn't have had the energy to keep the mantle going the way it has or large enough to stay hot.
So thanks God for throwing that big chunk at the earth 🙂
Omg I LOVE that shirt and whish I could have it as well 😍😍
