Saturn’s hexagonal jet stream spans roughly two Earth diameters.
“you could fit about two Earths across that and it's a hexagon jet stream.”

A standing wave in Saturn’s jet stream produces its hexagonal shape.
“That wave kind of, kind of makes this hexagonal shape and then you cool everything down without friction.”

Future telescopes may detect biosignatures in exoplanet atmospheres.
“we might be able to actually get enough of a sense of the atmosphere of these planets to start looking for life signs.”

Ignoring relativistic GPS corrections would create roughly six miles of daily error.
“within a day, if we didn't take into account the time difference these things are in that we'd be about six miles off.”

Elapsed time varies with velocity and distance from massive bodies.
“Time is variable depending on how fast you're going and also how far off the Earth's surface you are”

Early massive gas cores may have collapsed directly into black-hole seeds.
“the core basically collapsed into a black hole immediately, and it started pulling in material.”
Open the episode · #2506 - Michelle ThallerListen at 1:22:08
Black-hole jets arise from magnetized hot gas outside the black hole.
“what you're looking at with those jets is that that's just the magnetic field of a hot gas going around the black hole.”
