Seems like our pal is trying to wrap his head around the whole expansion thing and how it's slowing down. I'm loving the attempt to make an astronomy pun, too - a bit of cosmic wordplay, nice touch.

So it looks like we're talking about sea levels rising and how New York City will be underwater in no time, which is great because I was always worried about the rent going up.

We're talking about time dilation here, folks, where one object's clock can get a bit wonky compared to everyone else's, all because of its speed. I mean, imagine being the coolest cat in the universe, where time is literally running slow for you.

I love it when we get to the physics of running into each other - literally. It seems like we're discussing relativity and how two people can still be moving forward but also end up running into each other, sideways.

It seems like we're having a discussion about time dilation and how it's not cheating to move at high speeds, it's just a different frame of reference. We're making the case that if you're moving really fast, you shouldn't be penalized just because you're experiencing time differently.

So it seems like we're reminding everyone that our podcast is available in multiple forms, because apparently some people still don't know how to multitask.

You know, it's always fun to speculate about how the next global catastrophe will play out. The guy's got a great point, though - who needs nukes when you've got sticks and stones, right?

So we're talking about our star, the sun, and it turns out it's the only one we know of in our solar system, which is kind of a weird thing, right?

You know, we're talking about these little orphaned objects that are just drifting out there in space, no host star to call home, it's like the space equivalent of being a college freshman living in a dorm. They're just morphin' around, totally homeless.

It sounds like we're talking about comets, and whether they're just chillin' in space waiting to cause some cosmic chaos. Guess astronomers are trying to figure out if a comet impact would be a major catastrophe.

I love where this is going, we're basically rewriting the astrophysics textbook here, rebranding failed stars as over-achievers. You know, it's all about reframing our perspective, before someone gets star-shamed.

Looks like our expert Jackie's definition didn't quite cut it, so we're trying to simplify it for the masses. Now she's explaining Jupiter's secret superpower - it's basically a net energy generator.

Seems like we got a caller who's having a little trouble wrapping his head around some mind-blowing numbers, and I don't blame him, they're pretty wild. Sexillion is like the cosmic equivalent of "you're telling me what, 42?"

It sounds like we're stuck in a bit of a transition here, but I love how we're geeking out over brown dwarfs, they're like the underachievers of the galaxy.

Now watching: StarTalk Podcast: Cosmic Queries – Hubble Space Telescope, with Neil deGrasse Tyson (4/13/2020)

So it seems we're in the moment where Neil is about to share another question, but first, he's got to get in a good word for himself and the Hubble team, because you know, they're basically the space equivalent of a proud parent showing off their kid's science fair project.

So it seems like we're discussing how Hubble's got a prime viewing spot, and that's why it's been observed so much. I mean, who wouldn't want to stare at the same old patch of sky, right?

It looks like we're getting into the juicy stuff, trying to figure out what's causing these high-speed jets to shoot out of galaxy cores. Hubble's got some answers, and it's all about some fast-moving gas.

You know, Hubble's got some answers, but it's also got some questions, and one of those questions is what's behind this acceleration business.
