So refreshing to have some good news on the news. A super happy, polite and educated interviewee in the form of Catherine. Here's to good seeing.

[@centrelens]

People should be interested even if they aren't space enthusiasts. Remember a picture tells a thousand words but leaves millions out.

[@Slothsnail]

This is the news the world needs ❤

[@LordBikealot]

What a lovely interview, shame there aren't more like these! Well done Jane!

Of note, If planet 9 actually exists the Vera Rubin telescope is all but guaranteed to find it.

From ChatGPT: The correct pronunciation of “Chile” is “CHEE-lay” in Spanish, with emphasis on the first syllable. In English, some people may say “CHILL-ee,” but the Spanish pronunciation is more accurate to the country’s name.

[@theelephantintheroom69]

can we get a MKBDH review of it?

[@lazeppelini123]

Her enthusiasm made me smile 💙🤭🤭🤭

[@AubMar]

Will be some fun if we find someone watching us back!

Looking forward to the movie

[@sebsensen]

I'm genuinely interested to see whether they will also take note of potential UAP sightings via unexplainable movements of bright spots (or will deem it insignificant or controversial then scrub them). I hope they will release the data and let the public decide what it is.

[@NeuroDUk]

Hold on…. Hold on….. ok, say “Cheese !”…. Damn it, my finger was over the lens, let’s try again !

[@neilreynard]

Soiunds like a game changer!!!

[@stevenhopkins2925]

Aren't all these big telescopes just big cameras really?

[@HasRaz-od6bu]

No, cameras take images telescopes dont

[@stevenhopkins2925]

@HasRaz-od6bu the big ones do! They take images and process them to make all the colours that show the different elements.

[@oJezler]

@@stevenhopkins2925no, telescopes only capture light and magnify whilst the camera takes the image

[@4nau156]

Optical telescopes can take photos via adapters. Telescopes that are dedicated to photography are called astrographs. Camera lenses and telescopes can both take images of the night sky but telescopes/astrographs have less distortion than your typical camera lens.

Anyone ever notice how British people can't pronounce the letter "R" properly? 0:25 - So it's gonna be a great yeawh

[@THEMathHacker-121]

0:37 12 secs to disprove that genius theory.

[@namelastname1085]

@@THEMathHacker-121 Tbf, the presenter has a really posh accent. Still not a full, hard "R" sound, and they can only come close when it's at the start of a word 😂 I suppose it wouldn't be a British accent if they could.
