The Mountains of Neutron Stars | Space Nuts 262 Part 2 | Astronomy & Space Science Podcast

Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff.
Space Nuts Episode 262 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
● A quick discussion about the successful launch of Jeff Bezos into space…
● Astronomers have obtained detailed images of a plasma jet from a supermassive black hole. Fred has the details. (available in 262 part 1)
● And there are mountains on neutron stars...but not as you may think.
● Our listener questions …both about telescopes but vastly different. First up is Mark who wants to buy a telescope for his son (we think that may just be a cover story) and Tyler in Canada wants to know why there isn’t a telescope on Vancouver Island. Fred has the answers. (Podcast and Patron-only content)
