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.
●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.
●If, like Mark, you’re interested in buying a Telescope, check out our new sponsor, Orion Telescopes and Binoculars, and help support the show. Try their really useful product selection wizard. Fun to just have a play around with. Please use our link: https://spacenutspodcast.com/telescope
