Hi everyone,

The response on the Patreon drive has been incredible, and to say thank you we're getting ready to hold up our end of the bargain by relaunching Astrum Answers.

Please submit your questions in the comment section of this post, and like the ones you think you'd most want to hear and answer to. We'll be compiling research and writing for the next few weeks.

As always we want to say thank you for being Astrumnauts here on Patreon, your wave of membership has totally revolutionized the way we can run this channel!

do you mean we can suggest topics?

Chris Martin

Top # grand projects (in mankind scale) that is planned for the Moon/Mars/etc? We got a man in space (Lvl 1), we landed on the moon (Lvl 2), what is planned for level 3? And 4? What can be the next big step? And what should we aim for after that? What is the general status of different countries space programs? Who work together and on what type of projects/science? (Don't have to be technical, just the vision we need to focus on to better achieve the next space-goal.)

Ricky

I would suggest something on physical implications on free will and web space telescope latest findings

Anders Petersson

Hi! Not a question, but perhaps a data point for your planning of Astrum. I like your channel but not enough for me to stay a member in the long run. I'll stay for a few months until I feel I paid a fair price. So when you budget, beware there may be more people like me.

Everything Drake Equation and Fermi Paradox. Does time stop at the event horizon? If it does, is there actually a singularity anywhere? Would black holes eventually evaporate ever from Hawking radiation if time ceases to have meaning at the event horizon? Are white holes a thing? Is our universe a kind of white hole? A video about you. Who are you? Where are you from? Your story, so far. Thanks!!!

Gary Stark

In conversations about climate change and the environment I too often hear people suggest that we will just go colonize somewhere elsewhere, like mars and beyond. I don’t think they appreciate just how wildly implausible that truly is as a near or even midterm objective. Perhaps you could do a video on that point.

Can you explain the maths behind figuring out how big things are in space? Like how do we look through a telescope or at pictures from an orbiter and figure out that a crater is this deep, a cryovolcanic plume is this tall, an exoplanet has this density, etc.

franki3nstein

I remember you pointing out in the recent video about the LRO images of our moon how disorienting the pictures can be (at least to non-astrophysicists haha) due to the lack of atmosphere and context from structures making height and depth difficult to work out... So I'd like to know more about how folks work that sort of thing out properly. :-)

This being an election year in the USA, is there any NASA budget / project that could swing one way or the other depending on the outcome of the presidential election?

Lisa Spencer

What is the difference between a Photon and an Electron? And how do they behave similarly/ differently?

Lisa Spencer

We can't see the gas that we call air so we thought nothing was there. Can the same be said for space? Or is it like an atom which is mostly empty space.. if we zoom out far enough does the universe appear to be solid? Like a galaxy, we are in one but we see mainly empty space, if you look at a galaxy from a distance it looks like a giant object without empty space.

Josh

What would happen if you tried to “rescue” someone from inside the event horizon of a black hole using a tether of some sort?

Ricky

How about explaining something about how Ginevra cern experiment works?

Jack Lecky

Maybe a video about the Curiosity Rover I feel like people know very little about it compared with other rovers or what it has accomplished more less

HiddenQuark

Just a comment. Videos regarding Cosmology are most interesting to me.

yzv

The difference between the strong force and the strong nuclear force

Lisa Spencer

Since it has been theorized that time would move backwards if we were going faster than the speed of light. If I recall correctly, please correct me if I'm wrong, then past the event horizon..Is that something we cannot see because it is in the past? Basically it is on a different plane of time...🤔

Lisa Spencer

I thought he did a bunch of videos about all of the mars rovers, although I couldn't find one about the first rover ever sent to mars

Jack Lecky

The difference between magnetic stars and a non-magnetic stars in more depth maybe

Lisa Spencer

Do we actually know for a fact that the matter around a black hole goes into it? I was just watching the video on how hard it is to crash into the sun and now I'm watching the video about the quasar James web found, and it makes me think...when the matter that falls into orbit around a blackhole finally reaches the event horizon does it get thrown off/away versus falling insode?(as in the jets we see coming out of them??) Basically, is the blackhole a matter disposal (like a garbage disposal)? Maybe it is breaking down all the matter caught in it's orbit and returning it to the universe in it's most basic form..?

Shivin Kohli

Could you do a video on white holes please? They’re a fascinating theoretical concept that receive barely any attention even though the equations of black holes seem to point to their existence!
