I watch this channel after the kids go to bed and I’m cleaning up the kitchen. When my 8 year old hears Anton’s voice he runs downstairs to watch because he loves space and astronomy. His mom is not happy I let him watch but I can’t be happier to keep him up late on a school night if he wants to watch. 😊

Interesting. This is a quite amazing proposition and unlike many others, actually one that makes sense without requiring some very weird new physics.

Okay actually detecting a mass gap black hole??? That’d be crazy

This is what happens when 2 neutron stars get friendly and "hug". No word on any kids yet.

I am 77. My father, Charles Buzzetti, was a founding member of Stony Ridge Observatory. I went with him to all the meetings and work parties. George Carroll and the others were prescient genius's. Astronomy has changed so much since then. Even the 200" at Palomar was nothing to the present tools. I also used to live on Mt. Palomar. These new tools are opening up new horizons. You are super good at explaining these complex issues to people like me who do not have your and the others capabilities. Even amateur astronomy is dramatically different and they also have the high tech tools.

"We now have data for approximately 1.5 billion different sources, which equates to approximately 1% of the entire Milky Way." That sentence, alone, completely boggles the mind.

Clearly we need more layers. Black holes inside of neutron stars inside of red giants!

Thanks Anton. You show us all these rare objects I would never have heard of. The potential is incredible.
