Amazing - and quite humbling

[@jeanphilipperickenbach7777]

Danke!

[@NASASpaceNewsagency]

You are welcome ❤️

What creates the stronger gravitional pull when a Star transforms to a white dwarf or Something similar. Is it due to the change in Density and the production of heavier elements that gives it more mass.

[@JoeBManco]

From 5:00 to 5:30, I couldn't hear what you had to say.

[@Leo-pd4fc]

So there is Zombies the Death Alive Stars in Space wow! 😮

warchig this video ------ "Mental Mastery of Metal Mystery" 🙄

[@cuddlepaws4423]

This would have been so much better if the sound hadn't gone up and down. Also, it seemed like we were being told a lot about nothing, just like a politician's speech. Not really a deep dive, more a very wordy, shallow splash.

[@Pax.Alotin]

The theoretical models around which all these predictions are based --- are wrong. Our Sun is not a ball of gas - but a sphere of liquid hydrogen - around which an atmosphere of ionized gas exits.

[@danmurray1143]

I thought you had to freeze hydrogen to get it into a liquid state. I think you mean "plasma."

[@kryts27]

​@danmurray1143 Supercritical liquid hydrogen under enormous pressure, like the mantle of Jupiter. Still quite hot, but nothing like the convention layers of our star.

[@danmurray1143]

@kryts27 I always forget about pressure. I'm use to Earth-type pressures.

[@danmurray1143]

@Pax.Alotin KZbin guys are Communists. If they don't agree with what you're saying they will suppress your free speech.

[@afvet5075]

Scientists will NEVER figure the universe out. NEVER. Theory is a marvelous thing to them, but the truth is what counts and we all know that Jesus Christ is the truth.

[@danmurray1143]

So you're sticking with the ancient explanation that "a Sky Wizzard" created everything? That's what makes the most sense to you?

[@flashgordon3715]

Stick to the topic.

[@hermancharlesserrano1489]

Just wait, a thousand years from now people will worship Harry Potter. Only a fool makes your comment; scientists craft theories using data, then find more data to reinforce or disprove them. Religions use stories told millennia ago, so retold and overwritten as to be full of incongruities and contradictions, and can find no data whatsoever to prove the existence of any God. And if God requires faith and yet you mock science for its faith in data, you would be rather hypocritical, no?

[@kryts27]

Not an answer. Like everything put through the religious lens posits a sophism which ultimately can't deal with science. If you want to believe in a semi-mythical being (Jesus), then fine. Even more unlikely, that he was or is your saviour. But don't whine about science you bigoted ignoramus. The universe does not give a shit about your existence. Too many types like you burned early scientists at the stake for daring to express their evidence through a telescope or microscope lens.

@@danmurray1143when reality takes common sense and learning, the ignorant will always fall back on the deity.

The hearts of the people who are holding a big sadness in our hearts are the same as White Dwarf Star,. 🦾🦾🦾
