We’ve been studying stars for so long that I forget that our sun is also a star. Then, when studying our sun, realizing it’s just one of the stars way out there that we study, it’s mind-blowing. I know that all sounds stupid but it is what it is.
My daughter worked on the rocket that shot the probe to space. She gave me a tour and we went up in the tower where the rocket was. It was really cool. It was her first rocket project when she was an intern. It will be really interesting to find out how the corona is so hot. Every where else the farther you get away from a heat source the cooler it gets. How does it get hotter in the corona? Makes no sense...yet.
So the core is 150 tonnes per cubic meter - I assume this would be in the form of an extremely dense plasma, which physically acts very similar to a gas that is capable of conducting charge. That would be a very heavy gas. At that density a very tiny turbine could produce huge amounts of power. Given that the radius is about 50k miles, with the core being 20% of that, the surface of the core is 10k miles up from the center. 150 tonnes/meter cubed is the mass per unit volume, weight under the sun's gravity would likely be a multiple of that, even 40k miles below the surface it should be perhaps several times weight on Earth's surface. I can see how when a stellar core larger than that of our sun collapses into a neutron star a staggering amount of gravitational energy is released. Enough energy to detonate the remaining hydrogen/helium/oxygen/carbon or whatever. IIRC the actual mechanism of ignition is similar to a water hammer effect created by the energy of the collapse hitting the surface of the newly formed neutron core and forming a rebounding shock wave that becomes the front of the detonation wave. The gravitational energy serves as the blasting cap for a supernova. At least for certain larger stars. With so much energy out there in the universe it is a shame we humans still have to pay for our electricity. Another factor of a core collapse is the speed of the collapse. When support fails there is immense pressure increasing the the speed of the falling material - a cubic inch of plasma at roughly mid height above the surface of a newly formed neutronium core may have 30,000 miles of plasma above it exerting several million pounds per square inch upon it pushing it downward. The end result is the material that collapses into the neutronium core is traveling at a substantial fraction of the speed of light when it hits the surface of the neutronium and forms a reflected shockwave. Helluva story. 1/3 of all the energy of a supernova is supposed to be emitted in the form of a pulse of neutrinos. A huge amount of energy that leaves the supernova and interacts with almost nothing as it travels across the Universe. I wonder where that energy eventually goes? such a large amount of energy must have some ultimate effect upon the structure of the universe in the full course of time. Or is it as though the energy just disappears? I think not - there must be a consequence we are unable to discern at this time. The stuff I think of when there are more important things that need attention,
Presumably measuring the impact of the Galactic Current Sheet on our star's magnetosphere & our planet's ongoing magnetic collapse ? Amazing engineering, excellent video thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
I just realised that your cadence is similar to C3PO’s. 😂🙈 I’m imagining him retiring from films to start a RU-vid channel. He has to talk about that which he knows - space.
I watch your site with my grandson. We started with a homework assignment on the Kola hole. Haha I passed, I mean he passed. He got an A and now wants to watch more of your videos.
The probe is fascinating, yet you couldn't even talk about it for 12 minutes? The first 8 minutes of the video are just telling us what the sun is... You guys are better than this
So the title was a lie you told us the data the probe is going to collect not the data that has been collected still a eye opening video :) thanks for the content
WoW. Temperature of sun's core 14 million kelvin. Its amazing to know how we get sun lights and the heat by unstoppable thermonuclear reactions of the suns core. Amazing work well done Kozmo
If only 7% is hydrogen, and that's just the second step in fusion, we have a long way to go before it burns all the way up the element chart and turns into a red giant.
It's interesting to think that the Parker Probe will be the first object of human origin to have been swallowed up by the sun. And, from the suns perspective, it will (presumably!) be the first time it gets to snack on "processed food". Hopefully Parker won't give it bad gas! 😄
This is one of my absolute favourite science channels! This is SOOOO COOL!!!! And those gigantic prominence illustrations!! With sound!!! Man!!! I bet there really is that sound, too, since there's an atmosphere. Wish I could safely go there and back again.
