"Drive It" by Idaho. Morning Origami Tue Jan 7 with DJ AskTheQuestion on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Well come to all of ye

good morning.

Hi Dale! Happy 2025

NASA could use lights like on miners’ helmets to see in the darkness. Problem solved

But then when they pop into the light they get blinded! Unless the headlamps are a similar brightness to the sun

dumb question - is it colder at the moon's south pole than the moon's equator? shouldn't we vacation where the clime is balmier?

My immediate guess is because there's no atmosphere, there's no meaningful air temperature. All the heat comes from radiation from the sun. And since we need life support and climate control even within space suits, you can tune that suit to a balmy 72 wherever you are

I had interpreted “depose “ as the legal term for questioning with the intent of tying things up with litigation.

That is interesting! I can see why that would make sense. But so, very forcefully, does definition #1: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=depose

heron oblivion blew me away when i first heard them. it was like jacqui mcshea from pentangle joined a really cool psych outfit.

Yessss I was thrilled to stumble upon this again this morning. I haven't heard it in a while

Love Merle...and Lefty.

The more the better! Welcome, Amy

i was thinking their mass isn't enough to break the surface tension of the water....but it's persistence of vision that make it look like they aren't sinking (kind of).

I agree! Once you know they're really sinking, I think you can see it in the real-time videos. But it's easy to imagine they're floating across the water, indeed as people thought for 70 years

on a side note, i used to have a lot of little toads in my lawn. over the last 10-15 years they seem to have slowly disappeared as more and more houses go in, lawn care companies spraying etc....

:( That is a sad story! I was hoping cricket frogs would be a feel-good piece

Tragic are the monoscapes

i suppose nothing gold can stay…. i’ve loved todays show!! 🫶

Thank you Lia, I'm very grateful! <3

im going to miss you and your show so much!!

I so appreciate listeners like you, Emily! thanks for being so dedicated.

This is Jimbo writing from my gal's place. I've been a fan for years. Its funny, I listen while writing about Eunice Foote and her forgotten place in Science History. You present Science great. Will miss your Science sharing. Good luck on youe experiements. What are you working on.

Thanks Jimbo via Paula! So glad that you are a dedicated fan too. I'm glad to be of service

One experiment makes dense plasmas by putting millions of amps t hrough small wires. Another experiment makes plasmas by shooting very very bright lasers at materials. Both times I will look at the x-rays that the plasmas generate to learn about their temperatures, motions and behavior.

Cheers to all of you and thanks for listening! See you next week.
