Elon Musk has said cooling is much easier in space, with an aluminum radiator pointed away from the sun easily achieving about 1,300 watts per square meter.
Chris MartensonHOST
In health news, Jesse Beltran and Caroline Mansfield claimed that graphene, silicon oxide, and semiconductor nanowires in human tissue emit radio frequencies, register as MAC addresses, and can be remotely controlled.
Seth RomatelliHOST
Light reaching the ground is reflected upward, but then it is scattered again in a much wider range than what this company is saying.
Seth RomatelliHOST
The American Astronomical Society strongly opposes this company, this rocket launch, or using this in the United States.
Seth RomatelliHOST
The light can affect a much wider area than intended.
Seth RomatelliHOST
For a proposed future 177-foot mirror, the study's authors found that resulting sky glow could remain substantial well beyond the target area.
Charles LiuGUEST
Maybe we can save this for later in the show if there are other questions regarding this.
Charles LiuGUEST
But I was at the American Astronomical Society meeting not too long ago in Phoenix, and I was just so happy.
Charles LiuGUEST
There was just a lovely time.
Charles LiuGUEST
I'm still basking in it, even though it's been a little while.

Charles LiuGUEST
This is another great question.
Charles LiuGUEST
Thank you, Cindy.
Charles LiuGUEST
And in fact, this is a question that I was asked like exactly word for word when I was at the American Astronomical Society meeting back in January.
Charles LiuGUEST
I know, like I said earlier, I'm still feeling really good about that meeting.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
Don't ask me to remember which one it was, but I remember that your name was in there.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
You're recognized by Best American Science and Nature Writing, Best Writing on Mathematics, the American Astronomical Society, the American Institute of Physics, and the American Geophysical Union.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
And you have an upcoming book.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
This upcoming book, The Once and Future Night, How We Loved and Lost the Stars, which I might add, The Once and Future Night is the title of his substack.
AnnaHOST
Let's get into it.

On Tuesday, U.S. time, at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences in Spokane, Washington, the Rubin Observatory team announced its first dwarf planet candidate.
AveryHOST
Its provisional name is 2026 ED-138, and the Minor Planet Center published the discovery the same day.

Karl LangenkampNARRATOR
Twenty years later, the Varese-Rubin Observatory has delivered evidence of the newest possible dwarf planet, which is currently about 4.3 billion miles from the Sun.
Karl LangenkampNARRATOR
This is hopefully just the first of many finds, Mario Jurek, the lead solar system scientist for the Rubin Observatory, said during a news conference yesterday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences in Spokane, Washington.
Karl LangenkampNARRATOR
The discovery does not directly argue for or against the existence of Planet 9, a body between the size of Earth and Neptune that some astronomers predict exists even farther out in the solar system.
Karl LangenkampNARRATOR
But it is evidence that we have the capacity to find things, and they are amazing things left to be found, said Matthew Holman, an astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
