Trump Star Attacked Again

Looks like the nutballs in California are getting more scurvy. The Hollywood star of President Donald Trump has been attacked and demolished once again by deranged Leftists.

Here, some Trump supporters gather at his Hollywood star to be confronted and badgered by a group of violent and quite stupid Mexican Americans. The more you see idiots like these, the quicker you want the wall to go up. If these Mexicans are this confrontational and this dumb, it’s time they were kicked out of the country.

Looking in the Wrong Place

The observable universe is jammed with billions of galaxies, which in turn are packed with trillions of stars and who knows how many planets. So wouldn’t you think the chances of intelligent life, other than ourselves, exists in one of these faraway places? Or are we looking in the wrong place?

Minutephysics host Henry Reich says, “Researchers have predicted that the population of most intelligent alien species should be below 20 million individuals; the majority of planets with intelligent life should have less than 80 percent the radius of the Earth; and the individuals of most intelligent alien species should be at least as massive as polar bears.” Where do we find these species? Reich explains in this edition of minutephysics.

Size Isn’t Everything

Astronomers at Georgia State University say they have discovered what may well be the smallest star in the universe. The star is 8.6 percent as wide as the our star, the sun, 8,000 times dimmer and can actually fit inside the planet Jupiter. Phil Plait of badastronomy.com explains how astronomers determined the star’s status, including mistaking it for a brown dwarf in the early stages of their research, in this edition of SciShow Space.

A Glimmer of Truth

Ever wonder why and how stars twinkle? SciShow’s Hank Green says, “That twinkling is not caused by the stars themselves, which are super constant in their brightness, it is caused by the Earth’s atmosphere.” And a whole lot of other factors. Listen to Green’s mesmerizing explanation.

Starry, Starry Night

Astronomers had a huge week recently when they discovered the oldest star ever seen and the youngest galaxy. Seeker’s Trace Dominguez tells us that both the star and the galaxy were formed during the big bang nearly 13 billion years ago. Dominguez also fills us in on how the discoveries can teach us about the origins of everything.
