So Much James Webb News // NASA's UAPs Report // Closest Black Hole to Earth

[@SalaciaElegans]

I love the subtle flying saucer during the UAP chapter. 😊

[@frasercain]

Don't report it. 😀

[@rayfighter]

the flying saucer behind you was a lovely touch!

[@bbbenj]

You noticed it too!

[@Locut0s]

Omg that Herbig Haro photo! I’ve seen these objects before in HST photos. Such a beautiful shot. Love how the central star is still obscured in the coma of black dust, amazing to see.

[@Nekog1rl]

Thank you for this update! It interfaces nicely with John Michael Godier's episode on the NASA UAP report and Anton Petrov's coverage of K2-18b. Really appreciate the perspective and all that you do! Keep up the excellent work!

Have you seen the episode of Red Dwarf where Holly says, "Well, the thing about a black hole - it's main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the color of space, your basic space color - is it's black. So how are you supposed to see them?"

[@JamesCairney]

I would imagine that most people here have.

By how they affect other objects around them.

[@wolfmann5160]

Thank you for all the work you do on these videos. I rarely get to watch but every time, I'm impressed with your insights and your simple way of explaining complex concepts.

[@alpaykasal2902]

Flying saucer vacating the studio at 18:35 is very nice touch while talking about threats over UAP reporting. It's the little things in life...

[@CrasyFingers]

maybe the dart asteroid slowed down more overtime because the crash caused a cloud of dust that's orbiting the main asteroid and the small asteroid is hitting those dust particles? is that a theory too?

[@oberonpanopticon]

That seems plausible, tho with how powerful that explosion was idk if any debris was going slow enough to end up in orbit. But idk much/anything about the physics behind it!

[@ilya_95]

Have never thought about possibility of a rogue planet having liquid ocean on its surface 🤯. Very interesting idea. Endless night and a vast ocean.

Whenever someone has a video like this (Great video Fraser!) regarding Exoplanets I can't help but think what Carl Sagan would think of all these exoplanet discoveries? I believe we had 1 confirmed exoplanet discovery before Carl died? He suspected this many would be discovered but I don't think he realized how quickly and efficiently we spot them.

[@hadarsnorlax]

I just discovered your channel and it's amazing! I learned a lot of stuff. I'm deep in the satellite industry but the topics here are so diverse and fascinating

[@saeedafyouni619]

dude there was a UAP flying behind you while you were reporting on the UAP, it's flying around your house man. Definitely the closest black hole to Earth was my favorite story.... shoutout to Fraser Cain and Universe Today

[@Galactic_Peabody]

Question: is it possible that we could get a false positive of the Doppler effect for the expanding universe? Absolutely love the show and all your hard work you do Fraser! Thank you Sir!

[@Wolf-Spirit_Alpha-Sigma]

Fraser, as I understand you wanted to hear more threats addressed to you. Here's mine: Bob Lazar is a national treasure. He never EVER lies. Not even in his sleep. If you still refuse to talk about him on your channel and praise his bravery, honesty and his hard, janitorial work at Area 51, I am going to tell him that you're a big meanie and a skeptical debunker. HOW DARE YOU NOT BELIEVE everything about the UFO lore?? Sorry, this was the best I could craft. 😂

[@kylegoldston]

13:00 have you ever tried to push a locomotive, by hand, alone that is? It feels like you're pushing a brick wall but if you keep it up for a while the most interesting thing happens. Closest thing too a massive frictionless object available to most people but a 4-6 ft diameter cast iron engine dynamometer flywheel on pillow block bearings displayed a very odd seeming delayed response to forces applied. Inertia, both static and dynamic, can behave in seemingly odd ways once you get outside the realm of "EVERY DAY" objects.

[@corneliuscorcoran9900]

T'cha! Wasting billions searching for aliens. With that sort of dosh, we could deffo find Sasquatch AND the chupacabra.

[@-Thauma-]

This is the kind of news worth waiting for. Looking forward to more in the future ❤

[@AbAb-th5qe]

Thanks Fraser. Your channel is one of my favourites on youtube 😊 Maybe the Dart impact affected the reflectivity (albedo?) of the asteroid and sunlight caused it to continue slowing down?

[@XJapa1n09]

I love the thinly veiled apathy for starship 🤭 It’s hard to find people who aren’t 100% on the space x train or 100% against space x.

Excellent space news channel, with high quality content and reports. Certainly deserves to increase 10x its subscribers number. Some type of adequate marketing could possibly help. Suggestion for a future report on the show: the LIFE (Large Interferometer For Exoplanets) project led by the EFT Zurich.

[@fep_ptcp883]

Here's my threat, Fraser: if you don't report more on UAPs, I'll tell the aliens to abduct you

UAPs? I'll never remember that. I'll be running around yelling, "Look, a U...whatever!" No one will take me seriously...wait...

[@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475]

Most countries still use UFO for their official government inquiry programs. "UFO" is fine, it's what France, Argentina, China, Belgium, Russia, Ukraine, U.K., Australia, New Zealand ... and all the other governments use in their investigation programs. And what the Official Air Force and Navy investigations have used since they coined it in 1952. I still use UFO myself, even for the ones that come out of the water. It's the Global term for these objects, why create a new one just for stigma? Just research it and there will be no stigma, just as there is none for believing rocks fall from the sky. An educated public would help greatly. ("Educated public" being somewhat of an oxymoron, admittedly...)

[@NIL0S]

Cool about the potential life signs detected by JWST, I'll remain skeptical until further research. About the UAPs, IMO it's worth looking into, even just to see if we can't debunk the phenomenon, because if we can't debunk it, then it's something to understand.

[@GlizzyMilk]

This might just be my smooth brain take on the DART impact but when it happened it blew quite a bit of debris out of orbit and away, with some of it not having been slung hard enough to achieve escape velocity from Dimorphos...upon returning to Dimorphos wouldn't the debris impart a very miniscule slowing effect?

[@seditt5146]

I think the gas issue we would need to look for seasonal changes and most importantly changes which seem to go against thermodynamics of that seasonal change. For instance some sort of regular or irregular lag time between seasonal change which suggest entropy is not fully behaving as it should since if anything can be said about life its that its short term actions on a system appear to defy entropy as though life itself is Maxwells demon. Entropy still rules all but without taking the information the demon knows into account it seems to defy physics.

[@EmergentStardust]

Herbig-Haro 2011 will most likely be getting my vote! Absolutely stunning! Appreciate the caution about k2-18. The "signs of life" over speculation can sometimes provide more noise than benefit. It's very interesting news as-is. Great video!

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Huh... all we need to do is hit that Hycean world with a 70% nickel/iron ball and presto! In 3 billion years we got ourselves another Earth! Easy-pezee!

[@fredwood1490]

Pure reporting on space news without the headline grabbing B.S. !!! THANKS for the work and efforts you put in to these videos, informing and engaging us muggles !!! Edit: the convo with Dr. Siegal was...a helluva good show !!! an absolute must watch!!!

[@theoptimisticskeptic]

We do need to look into these UAPs if for no other reason than safety's sake. SInce it seems a lot of the pilots were concerned about mid-air collisions or pilots going down attempting to avoid them. Most likely they'll turn out to be some sort of unknown natural phenomonena like elves or sprites were until recently.

[@genkidamatrunks6759]

I'm not surprised about the NASA report findings. We're still right where we were before the report was commissioned. Those who believe, will continue to believe. Those that don't, will continue to don't. 🤣 Those that don't care one way or the other, will continue to blow in the wind.

[@martinharrison132]

The people who dont believe tend to be the ones who make a living off discovering and reporting on new cosmological findings and thus many would actually lose their jobs or their funding etc etc , i mean would we care if a planet 200 light years away has oxygen in the atmosphere if we knew advanced aliens were visiting our planet !?

[@bbbenj]

​@@martinharrison132so it's a conspiracy from all scientists in the world? Won't they get way more funded if they can prove UAP are in fact aliens? 🤔

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks for all the news, Fraser! 😊 About the rant... Well, I've been a believer in the past (I believe I already commented about this)... But now I'm a skeptical, I demand evidence. But how the heck are we supposed to get any evidence if we don't look for it? Yes, most of the cases are simple mistakes or lack of knowledge from the observer. As I saw many times happening and even helped to solve a few. And yes, there's a lot of fake stuff as well, unfortunately. Looks like humans like attention or something, I don't know. But there are still a couple of really confusing cases, for which I just can't figure an explanation. (And I'm NOT saying "it's aliens", just that I'm lost.) For example, I'm not going into details (I can go if you want me to), but there's the "official UFO night" from Brazil. It's a fascinating case, because you have lots of eyewitnesses, probably radar data (that I don't know if even still exists)... And the public admission from the Brazilian government that, at the time, was a military dictatorship. But, again, how the heck do we extract new evidence from something that happened in 1986 if I'm not mistaken? So... My hope is that Project Galileo can illuminate it a bit for us. Even if those are only unknown atmospheric phenomenon, we'd learn something. That alone would be fantastic. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@tlv1117]

With an ocean that deep what would the pressure be at the bottom? Would the water even be liquid or some sort of strange hot solid ice at that pressure? Could any sort of life be there? If not, if the life has to be higher up in the water then is there a mechanism to bring nutrients up that high from the floor? I wouldn't rule anything out given only our current sample size of one but it sounds like a lot to be skeptical about.

[@frasercain]

It would be insane, and one of the big questions is whether any sediments could get up into the upper ocean to supply nutrients for life.

[@jfeeney100]

My thinking on UAPs is they will analyze thousands of incidents. Explanations will be developed for each incident (not necessarily correct). But there will be a handful if incidents that just can't be explained. These leftover incidents just deify physics. These could be your real deals. It's like mining for diamonds. You have to go through a whole lot of dirt to find the pay dirt.

[@frasercain]

You can't unexplain your way to identification. But if there was better data on everything, then we could also make positive identification of things actually breaking the laws of physics.

[@martinharrison132]

the stigma attached to scientists looking for UFOs has in the past been overwhelming , nobody was interested ,it was basically a joke because of government cover-ups and basically everybody being brainwashed into thinking UFOs are science fiction.

[@frasercain]

So, now that the government has both NASA and the Air Force investigating it, as well as Congress making it illegal to hide research, we can agree that cover-ups aren't happening any more.

[@sebastianclarke2441]

Its good to see you invest more excitement in Starships potential launch, I remember you were originally quite sceptical of the whole idea when discussing it with Pamela on Astronomy Cast only a few years ago.

[@mishukzoo]

I would be curious to learn more about that small universe theory. Like something that foregoes the expansionary aspect of the universe by bringing in the concept of multiverse is soo fascinating. It would in the end sounds less depressing than the current cosmological model we have, because of the inflationary quality of our universe and the ultimate heat death that will occur. If instead it were to be shown that all of this could be bipassed by accessing multiple dimensions then that's wonderful news. Of course this would still be just at a theoretical level but still a nicer prospect to think of.

[@EmergentStardust]

It would be interesting if researching whatever phenomena affected Dimorphos' orbital period helped understand the movement of Oumuamua. Just some random speculation, not even a hypothesis :)

This reminds me of the one time where NASA was using a gravitational assist of a planet in our system. Just out of curiosity they turned on the probes' sensors to determine if they could determine if there was intelligent life on the planet. The probe came back with the result that there was no intelligent life on that planet. They tried several more times and each time the probe responded with the same results. Dismayed the scientists turned off the probe and let it continue its journey. The planet they were analyzing with the probe? Earth.
