Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 16: Suspiciously Earth-like
Q: What other elements might be underrepresented in current models?
Many other odd z elements like phosphorus, sodium, and scandium could be under produced in models.
EP 16: Suspiciously Earth-like
Q: How do these findings challenge or redefine current theoretical models of how these massive stars produce elements?
The findings suggest that internal stellar processes, such as rotation and shell mergers, might enhance the production of odd z elements.
EP 15: Complex Molecules in Space
Q: How does this discovery influence future missions or scientific goals in astrobiology?
It pushes for more missions to carbon-rich primitive asteroids and icy moons to uncover additional chemical clues about the origins of life.
EP 15: Complex Molecules in Space
Q: How does this discovery help scientists understand the origins of life on Earth?
It suggests that carbon-rich asteroids like Bennu may have provided essential ingredients for life to early Earth during its formation.
EP 15: Complex Molecules in Space
Q: What does the discovery of propadienone tell us about the chemical richness of cold molecular clouds?
It indicates that even in frigid environments, complex organic molecules can form, suggesting active chemistry in space.
