What Happened In Space In 2024

[@nardocallanta3039]

Thank you Mr. Fraser for all the space information this year. Looking forward for a good 2025 exploration!

[@SixpenceInc]

Congratulations, Fraser, on an incredible year! Your channel has been one of the most entertaining and insightful science platforms I've come across, with just the right touch of humour to make complex topics enjoyable. I'm proud to support your work as a Patreon member and look forward to seeing what you'll achieve next. -Zack

[@sashaSwetlowski]

Well done Fraser. Happy new year!

[@harabanar7827]

Thank you Fraser, for an awesome year of space news coverage! Wishing you all the best for the New Year!

[@marcekessen8003]

Hello algorithm! Send Fraser out to more people please because he is a great explainer of lotsa things🙂

[@frasercain]

You listening algorithm?

[@churchdiscography]

What a great surprise treat for us in the last week of the year! I really enjoyed this. Thanks for another year of fantastic space news coverage.

[@supersaiyanfife]

OHHHHH! This episode makes me so happy! This is the best recap I have received so far from any service or channel.

[@keithromig]

I love your channel buddy keep up the good work

[@frasercain]

Thanks a lot, will do.

[@treefarm3288]

Great summary, thanks Fraser, Happy New Year.

[@swissbiggy]

Thank you very much for all the great videos you provided us with..... I wish you and your family a healthy and happy 2025 !

[@samedwards6683]

Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative video.

[@astronome66]

Whew! What a year. Thanks for producing this. Can't wait to see what 2025 brings us. All the best 🙂

[@bromelio7783]

Thanks! Awsome coverage...

[@waspsandwich6548]

10:14 you have no idea how much that scared me. I'm not joking at all I think that took a few years off my life

[@nikitaermolaev709]

same, that was also the first time I actually saw this video's footage after listening to it in background

[@cjc363636]

LOL! Me too! I was like..... AI ALL ALONG!!! Nooooooo!

[@fep_ptcp883]

Uncanny as hell

[@kellyco8282]

My heart skipped a beat

[@lyledal]

My favorite wrap up of 2024, hands down!

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

Its been a good year for space news, and fraser has done outstanding interviews and news.

[@jessec3609]

Great video Fraser!!

[@frasercain]

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it.

[@themacdads]

Hey Fraser, thanks for another amazing year of universe today. My go to podcast for night time listening 😊. I had a question: If Einstein had never existed, when do you think his theories would have been discovered, and by who?

[@ToddLarsen]

Anime Fraser was legit! Thanks for sharing, and as always, keep building 👍

[@symmetricat188]

A great summary! You are a unique educator. Thank you for your unbridled enthusiasm & relentless dedication. Here's to a great 2025!

[@jamesleatherwood5125]

Ok! Cool! I like this concept. Everyone does polls, your the first one to design a years worth of audience interaction into a kinda viewer based episode. (Sure the question show is aydience interaction, but the gratification or dissapointment is rather quite immediate. Youve turned your pols into a sort of choose your own adventure story or tell-tale game with multiple possible endings. Only you cant start this one over to figure out the other combos. And its a collective rather than an individual effort.

[@FranciscoSilva84]

Great video

[@JQourydxyz]

Glad to hear you had a great year! I also had a fantastic roundtrip around the sun, with the highlight when that sun was hidden for a brief moment in Texas. ;D

[@frasercain]

I was right there in Texas when it happened. Can confirm the brief disappearance of the Sun.

[@YousufAhmad0]

@Fraser thank you, great recap. Question: what is your beard care routine: what razor/trimmer do you use, how frequently do you shave/trim, and what products do you use ❓

[@frasercain]

Hah, not much, I use an Oster trimmer to shave my head and beard when I think it's getting too long.

[@scottdorfler2551]

10:15 Yikes! Don't do that! You're ruining my trip man.

[@anthonyalfredyorke1621]

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR FRASER, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🙏. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤

[@logiticalresponse9574]

The a.i face was scary but nice simultaneously

[@mbrasher6884]

Not all parts of Japan have bright city lights. Kamikōchi (national park) would have been a perfect dark place to see Aurora Borealis.

[@johnstewart579]

When the planets Uranus and Neptune are observed through an amateur telescope, the two display different colors to the human eye. Neptune is decidedly bluer in color than Uranus greenish color.

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

I know, ill trust my eyes before nasa.

[@OlliGarch]

Many variables involved in sure. Light pollution, our atmosphere etc etc but who knows. I miss having a telescope. I had one with a sun filter, it was so cool looking at the sun spots and solar flares. It even had a camera attachment but it was the 80s so the pics didn’t come out really good. I got to see Halley’s Comet with it. My friends dad took us up high in the Appalachian mtns where light pollution was very minimum. It was so cool. I wish I still had the photos I took. They didn’t turn out as good as what I saw without that attachment but still pretty cool. ✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️ oh and Jupiter was cool too. I could see the red spot and a few of its moons. I’m gonna get a modern one when I can afford it.

[@michaelmcconnell7302]

10:14 what the f 😅

[@jimashby43]

This is always Fun.

[@richardvanasse9287]

Hope everyone has a great 2025.

[@istvansipos9940]

27:17 (and a few sentences later) maybe the ozone HOLE is shringking and the LAYER is recovering. I hope. speaking of ozone, a question here for your question show: Any SETI projects sniffing for CFCs? Why? Or why not? If CFCs don't appear naturally, it would be a good idea to look for them. (I heard something about this many years ago. That's why I ask)

[@johnbennett1465]

It is definitely in the list of things that they check for in spectrums.

[@genuinefreewilly5706]

So much has happened in 2024 but for myself the Parker Solar probe doing its close gig around our sun and surviving so far is pretty cool at the end of 2024

[@frasercain]

Hah, that would have been in Space Bites this week, but we did this instead

[@franjsaenz]

I don't what to be THAT person, but earth is rotating the other way around at 17:00 😂

[@MrSimonw58]

20:33 ... I'd need to change my spacesuit pants after that

[@philpots48]

Well done, looking forward to 2025!

[@rrj6068]

10:14 .....What happened ? Ai is getting weird ....

[@rogerdudra178]

I worked in the HVAC industry at the turn of the century which had to change coolants.

[@jamesfowley4114]

72 flights, without maintenance.

[@frasercain]

Beats the 5 they were hoping for.

[@rtxagent6303]

10:13 Why did your face look like it was from a cartoon for a second?

[@Stryk0r66]

🤣😂

[@tinman199711]

Japan.😂😂

[@churchdiscography]

Those little things snuck in that make his videos so enjoyable.

[@FirestormX9]

Got turned into a modern anime art style maybe, regardless, the edit was cool. Like the transition out part as well. Bellissimo

[@bobjackson6669]

Good video.

[@frasercain]

I appreciate that.

[@dougant6728]

I’ll trust you I’m gonna watch this

[@JayCross]

Question!!! How much slower does time run in the intergalactic space of the Sloan Great Wall vs. how fast it runs in the Bootes Void? I'm imagining that the difference is very small, but a team describing what they call "The Timescape Model" implies that it can remove the Hubble Tension.

[@frasercain]

I can't imagine it's a big amount. You only get significant amounts of time dilation when you get close to an extremely dense mass, like a black hole.

[@JayCross]

@@frasercain On the other hand, it's strong enough to pull observably us toward it from hundreds of millions of light years.

[@mrxmry3264]

This question just popped into my head: when betelgeuse goes boom, what happens to its companion?

[@osmia]

I didn't vote every time you asked us to vote but anytime there was a story that I really liked I definitely went and voted for it

[@Kr0N05]

Ok, am I freaking out? Did your face suddenly go animated at 10:13 for about 2 seconds?

[@capnmnemo]

He was in Japan. Everyone is anime there.

[@rrj6068]

I need to break it to you gently.....Yes, you are freaking out .....

[@Kr0N05]

@@rrj6068 :) Thought so

[@mattwuk]

Does DESI images not just remind you of a picture of atomic action that happens all the time?

[@HansMilling]

Can’t wait for the news in 2025.

[@yulian3866]

Hi, Universe Today team! Here's a question: Since electromagnetic waves become shorter/longer as observer is moving faster, at some point there should be blue/radiation in front and red/heat from the back. If there's no or almost no time experience from the photon's perspective, then does this "red"/"blue" photon's surrounding world turn into something else (if no time at all)? or what is the maximum length of the corresponding waves (if *almost* no time, at 99.(9)% of lightspeed)?

[@CFoxEst1992]

I would like to hear what you thought was the best space news of 2024, Mr. Cain

[@ForaWalk]

I normally listen on Spotify premium. If i get YT premium and listen to your videos instead does it help your channel?

[@frasercain]

The best way to help the channel is to join the Patreon - and you can get the additional podcast feed on Spotify. Beyond that, just enjoy our content in whatever way is most convenient for you.

[@ForaWalk]

@frasercain great stuff! Already joined to the patreon and just need to get around to your newsletter. Keep up the great work and happy new year

[@snortworld]

hi fraser, question: if earth was suddenly transported out of the milky way galaxy into a distant area of empty space, would the sky appear completely dark to the naked eye, or could we see distant galaxies since the light interference from the milky way wouldn't be there? thanks.

[@errolgenet2279]

At 10:14 of the The Best Space News Stories of 2024 (Objectively) I noticed that someone (maybe you) manipulated the image of your face. You were mentioning being in Japan during the northern lights. Is it AI at work?

[@frasercain]

Anton was using some kind of filter to make me look like an anime character.

[@richiebricker]

Have they ever successfully landed the starship crew module?

[@bluesteel8376]

They have never flown a starship crew module.

[@samdoak1222]

A question: Are all galaxies moving away from our location? If so, we would be in the center of the universe. - not true Shouldn’t some be moving along the same path as our galaxy therefore wouldn’t measurements show those galaxies not moving away but remaining relatively stationary with respect to us? Have cosmologists calculated the potential center (epicenter of the universe) based on speeds and directions of expansion? What are some galaxies in the same trajectory as our own? Thanks

[@diggermic7]

Hi Frasier, What would the Universe, or maybe just the Milky Way look like with an extremely sensitive detector that could map out the gravitational “radiation” (gravitons?) including dark matter?

[@joeybabybaby5843]

6:41 a LIGHDAY from Earth!

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

Thank you fraser, you have given us a good year. You are a good man.

[@YousufAhmad0]

Has there been any further evidence of water found on the moon after Chandrayan 1❓

[@frasercain]

Oh sure, plenty. SOFIA detected it mixed into the regolith. There's now a second Chandrayan spacecraft orbiting the Moon. The next step is to send rovers to go into the south pole craters.

[@YousufAhmad0]

@frasercain oh that's good to know. Not familiar with SOFIA. Maybe you can answer this in the next question show: What is SOFIA?

[@alexisdespland4939]

are there any plan to prove the existsnce of beteljuices companion star.

[@youtubejosephwm6699]

What happened to this week's space bites

[@frasercain]

This was it. Not much news between Xmas and New Year’s

[@youtubejosephwm6699]

@frasercain okay

[@tomusi]

Nice wrap up but the connection you make between oxygen and the origins of life is wrong. In all likelihood, presence of O2 on early Earth would make it very difficult for life to start.

[@bluesteel8376]

ya, oxygen is needed for some forms of more complicated life, but simple life does not use oxygen

[@spaceherpies]

Presence? Wouldn't the concentration of it be a better thing to look at? Low concentrations wouldn't impact early life at all.

[@dbireland2003]

Is there away to see what companies Elon supports Canadian companies Tec wise? I heard he wants to spend more. Some company in Alberta??.

[@dbireland2003]

Great Show by the way. ✌️

[@Fiercefighter2]

The shapely concentration.. there is a mom joke in there.

[@hammerdon1962]

Starship Mission 6 ho-hum. People don't realize everything that was accomplished on that mission. The problems encountered. And the data received. Will go a long ways towards refueling, returning, and catching Starship being ho-hum

Do we really going to live in dwarf star system 🤷🏽 it's crazy

[@frasercain]

The Sun is considered a yellow dwarf star.

[@JonathanMensah-f4h]

Frey, wasn't it a year? Leaking tanks, non- compliant EUS build, also sensors and hydraulics. Then came the sweet spots, Artemis 1, Artemis 2 and lander, then 'Tenuous' Interstellar space -Voyager, Chandra-Webb-Alpha/- Hubble visions. Postponements of 2&3 Artemisia, Elon's moves. Ff, here we come 2025, C¹²⁰ìON drive, extended B'Star, new tries to successfully land on the moon, Nasa RLV Design, HCV- Cargo Lockheed partnership, tell-tale gossip Nasa trekkie, and new commitment to Starshot, fin.

I am sick and tired of Musk... Give Gwen Shotwell the credit she is due She runs the damn company.

[10:14} Cain is AI! Proof! jk. Cool video effect, dude.

[@angelainamarie9656]

I got to tell you I could not be less interested in anything Elon musk does right now.

He will be busy ruling usa from the white house

[@wiktorm9858]

And good that you write it! 😉

[@Stryk0r66]

Who?

[@tinman199711]

True true.

[@kbjerke]

Like him or not, it would be prudent to pay attention.

[@factusnonverbus]

I don't think "first X for private sector" is really news. It's like being the second team to climb everest.

[@bluesteel8376]

When it can be done privately, that means they found a way to do it that is much much cheaper than when a large government has done it. It absolutely is a big achievement.
