Where Did The Mysterious JUMBOs in The Orion Nebula Come From?

[@tuckfeem0834]

Its great you are offering your platform to a student and her interesting proposition. Respect to Ms. Diamond for her passion and research. She comes across as a scientist with a growing gift for public speech. I wish you well on your journey Jessica!

[@fasvi1285]

Wow, what a well spoken and nuanced person. So impressive. Not overselling her idea, bur happy to share it. The best of science.

[@seionne85]

Loved this! Fascinating hypothesis, and should be testable!! Thanks for your time Jessica and Fraser

0:18 top left corner of the screen. The stars are aligned in a perfect formation. Also straight below it towards the center section another set of 4 stars aligned in perfect line.

[@richiebricker]

Very Cool. I learned a few thing today. I think people think the mass of stars and all its gravity, hold on and even suck things in. But I guess they can also blow stuff away

[@jamesdavison6290]

It is also possible that they could form from impact or tidal disruption of larger objects. If a rogue planet is ejected from a young stellar system, the disruption might be enough to tear it into smaller bodies that orbit each other.

Happy Thanksgiving Fraiser! ☮️

[@albooga]

Fantastic stuff

[@billionsandbillionsofstars]

Thank you Jessica for answering my question and thank you Fraser for asking it.

[@teapot_]

Excellent Fraser, and thanks, Jessica. A very interesting new observation on possably whats going on.

[@JAGzilla-ur3lh]

Competitive Accretion is my new favorite astronomical term.

[@michaelb7498]

Could these possibly be ejected planets or failed stars from a 3 body problem system? Maybe two get ejected out in certain situations situations?

[@frasercain]

It could explain single planets, but not two orbiting each other.

[@stephenwise3635]

Respect!! Out of nowhere we get Sheffield, wonderful place in't north of England. Not exactly known for interstellar observations 🙃 respect from Manchester, on the opposite side of the Pennines to Sheffield :)

Diamond of an interview

[@Spherical_Cow]

Would a JUMBO have a significantly different isotopic and elemental composition vs. a regular brown dwarf? For instance, being a remnant of a stellar core, would it be enriched in "metals", relatively denser than a "conventionally" formed object of that size? Could you use spectroscopy to tell these object classes apart?

[@MartinHobbsActor]

All these rogue planets and failed stars - are there enough to interact with molecular clouds and nebula to seed stellar growth later in their life?

[@fasvi1285]

Fraser, why not interview Andy Driesman of APL. How fun would it be to hear about building space probes.

[@billionsandbillionsofstars]

Fraser, can you please explain how brown dwarves form?

[@doncarlodivargas5497]

This is why we must not bully our sun, we do not need a jupiter-2, be nice!

[@johncampbell9216]

All spherical objects in space are stellar remnants. From Jupiter to Moon, they are ALL old stars.

[@CeanStrauss]

Huh?

[@astroZ45]

If all the JuMBO’s are in the same area and not elsewhere, then perhaps local aliens have stripped these stars and discarded them.😎😃😱

[@MistSoalar]

TIL last name Diamond exists. That's very rock.

[@jasoncullen7787]

I don't know if i buy this theory. Cause how long does it take for a star or any large object to feed off any other object, to the point where it loses 80% of its mass. I mean, we're talking about millions of years right? These things don't happen in months, years, decades, or even centuries. Even a pulsar, which has the 2nd accretion, pull next to black holes. A physicist said it would take millions to maybe even billions of years to absorb a star to the point where it turned into a giant gas planet. Yet they think the jumbo star's partner did this in decades. Also not just 1 jumbo star, but many jumbo stars this happened to, and we never saw any gas coming off these jumbo stars, and there is no signs of this happening in the small amount of time it would take a star to actually really evaporate? I don't think my 9 year old would buy this theory, and he doesn't know that much about how stars eat other stars.

[@frasercain]

It's not feeding, it's getting blasted by radiation from nearby stars. Yeah, it would still take millions of years.

[@richardparker1446]

@@frasercain It doesn't take millions of years. The radiation from these massive stars is so intense in acts on timescales of about 100 000 years, about the same time it takes (proto)stars to assemble their mass. Quite an unpleasant environment!

[@johndocherty-273]

I don't know who u would've voted for, thanks for that

[@frasercain]

Cthulhu, obviously. Why settle for the lesser evil?

[@NeonVisual]

Do we even know if the orbits are stable or are we just assuming they are in nice gravitational binds because they're moving in the same direction?

[@roqua]

An oversized episode!! 😂

I understand stand these people are really trying to better science and she’s probably a really nice woman but does anyone else see that look in their eyes were no disrespect they’ve been educated and just brainwashed into believing everything has a reason and everything adds up to a certain thing when really I don’t think we have a fucking clue what’s happened because we just have not been told the truth about our history about the mechanics of our earth let alone the mechanics of the universe and since the Corona we already know we’re being an exterminated now specially the people that haven’t got the brains like rocket scientists because that’s the next generation of people they need they don’t need your average McDonald’s worker or your average Ford mechanicthey need futuristic rocket scientist because Toni is running out and they know they we need to get off this fucking earth cause whatever is come round in the past is coming again that’s a solar flare astroid who knows but something

Everything tells that the Universe is alive

[@doncarlodivargas5497]

Is it not exactly the other way around? Astronomers find everything believable and unbelievable in the universe, except actual life?

[@L.LGodwill]

@doncarlodivargas5497 We are ( inside ) That's the reason we can't comprehend ( all ) information about it , It's alive , And we are tiny part of it , We are less than ( ATOM ) in the ocean

[@hive_indicator318]

What evidence do you see that the universe itself is alive?

[@doncarlodivargas5497]

@L.LGodwill - inside what? It? If we can not comprehend, how come you know?

[@L.LGodwill]

@@doncarlodivargas5497 As it's beams outside , It's beams inside , and we are inside, and that what we got , Don't ask for more , just look, and think

Obviously there's another Wumbo button in the universe, and aliens pushed it. 😅😽🦜🖖
