Ep 123What If the Sun Went Through a Wormhole?

E

What would happen if our Sun traveled through a wormhole to another part of the galaxy? In this episode, we explore this big science question using real astronomy and a little imagination. We talk about how Earth’s days and seasons work, what the galaxy is like beyond our neighborhood, and how the night sky might change if our solar system moved. Along the way, listeners learn about wormholes, stars, and why our place in the Milky Way is just right for life. If you would like to ask a space question, please have your grown-up send it to [email protected]. If you would like your name included with the question, please include its pronunciation.

Ep 122Are There Green Stars?

Are there green stars? In this episode, we explore a question that sounds simple—but has a surprising answer. Learn how star colors are linked to temperature, why we see some stars as red, blue, or yellow, and why green stars don’t appear green to us—even when they do emit green light! We also talk about visible light, wavelengths, how our eyes interpret color, and what the Sun’s color really is. By the end, you’ll understand what a G-type star is, how stars are classified, and why the night sky doesn't shine in green.

Ep 121What Would Happen if You Left the Universe?

What might happen if you left the universe? In this episode, we explore the mysteries of cosmology, from the limits of the observable universe to the mind-bending idea of multiverses. We break down concepts like space, time, dark energy, and Max Tegmark’s levels of parallel universes—while reminding ourselves that some of these are still just ideas waiting for ways to be tested.

Ep 120Is There Water on the Sun?

Is there water on the Sun? It might sound impossible, but the answer is yes—in a way! In this episode, we dive into the science of the Sun to find out how water vapor can exist in its cooler regions called sunspots. Along the way, we explore the states of matter, learn what plasma is, and discover how scientists use a tool called spectroscopy—kind of like reading a rainbow barcode—to detect different elements, even on the surface of a star. We also talk about how spacecraft like the Parker Solar Probe help us study the Sun from a safe distance. Get ready to explore one of the hottest, most surprising places in the solar system!
