I once had a girlfriend whom I lovingly referred to as My Little Neutron Star. She'd always used to gush and giggle. Then one day she asked me, "Is it because I'm so incredibly bright?" "Nope, it's cuz you're so incredibly dense!" Talk about going supernova.

Emily Levesque is a terrific speaker , I hope I can find more of her lectures. Five Star talk !

Thank you Dr. Emily Levesque on your fascinating lecture on supergiant stars !! Excellent speech !!

Excellent talk! Great presentation and amount of scientific data, explained at a level, that the public can understand. Wish there was a link, to a PDFs of the foils presented in the talk, as well as detail notes on each foil. Loved the talk!!!

This is my first video in this series and I must say it is a wonderful accident that I should be introduced to the series via such an excellent speaker with and fascinating topic. Well done Dr. Levesque. I'm off now to find more videos.

Dr. Levesque delivers a great deal of information in a short amount of lecturing. It's all fascinating stuff to study and learn about. Even the uber eccentric intro-professor was pretty okay. ;)~

LMBO!!! If we were in the path of a gamma-ray burst...we wouldn't get a warning, so don't worry about it. WOW!!! That earned a thumbs up. Fantastic video!

Dr Summers kicks ass - super entertaining. Dr Levesque is out there for sure lol. Great presentation doc.

In the future could you please advise your guests how to handle their microphones? Very interesting subject, partially spoiled by the constant thumping of the mike....very irritating.........thks very much....

Watch out for the deafening soundburst around 1:19:45! The sound engineer has tried to make it possible for the recording to pick up audience questions, but rather than learned, barely-audible grey-hairs the sound is of a well-deserved and hearty round of applause that smashes out of your headphones as a YT listener! Dr Levesque covers this subject superbly, displaying a vast knowledge across numerous areas of astronomy that make fascinating viewing.

She did this talk at the Perimeter Institute last march I think it was. She answered a question I sent in of what happens to the original core of the Red Supergiant / TZO once, or as, the neutron star took over. She is a terrific communicator

A great Hubble cosmology lecture delivered in very understandable language!

I absolutely enjoyed this lecture and so THANK YOU for posting this. Thank you to everyone who dedicated time and effort into this!!!

Emily and I were hallmates at MIT -- and boy how I wish I'd prodded her mind on these topics back then! Congrats Emily on your successes! "Slugfest" for life :)

fascinating real science video about astrophysic with informations even I as a astrophysics/cosmology-fan since ~1992 never heard from ;)

Great talk. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you for all the information. It is very enlightening.

Love the combination of her passion, zeal and knowledge. Infectious. Makes me want to live in a telescope. :)

A great lecture! Even a layman can understand every bit of it. Thanks.

This talk gets epic around 1:05:00 I was really surprised about this discovery and wonder where else I can learn about it. Was good until then - and then the excitement really kicked in. Thanks for sharing as always.

Very fine lecture. On the whole I'd say the lenticularis of iridium interacting with molybdenum is proof of the existence of at least a stylized representation of a star, typically one having five or more points.

This was a very fascinating lector. Thanks for hosting it online.

thanks a lot for this enlightening lecture,. Really really enjoid it.

at 39:08, what is the mass ratio before and after a super nova? how much gets flung out and how much to become a neutron star or a black hole?

What is going on with the mic i couldn't watch all of this which was a shame .

Great lecture - thank you for sharing

Excellent talk!!! Thank you. :)

This was very good, but I wish I could've heard the questions the audience asked instead of just the answers.

For something done in 2015, they didn't even touch on VY_Canis Majoris(the largest star ever discovered PERIOD.), and Direct-Collapse Black Hole Candidates(where a star implodes so hard that the event-horizon of the black hole envelops the whole thing instantly.).

Thank You!

Thank you. Love your lectures

just curious is it measured at its predicted surface or atmosphere? sorry if that sounds dumb, weird I'm just interested to the idea of what they're doing!

Thank you Emily great lecture really enjoyed it🕶”

Fascinating!

1:20:15 AN HOUR?!!!! Where is my popcorn!

Wonderful lecture. Check this out? At about 24:30 what if anything changed? Ok, I made screenshots and toggled from 24:55 to 25:05, I saw the samples line up mostly above 3.5K. Still, I see no remarkable difference. If you exclude 6 or 7 extremes, all are within about 250F, well less than 5%.

Thank You, Sir. Not afraid to admit my lack of genius. This was the first simple explanation of gravitational lensing

Was there an old person section and a young person section in the audience? 😆

Excelent!!

great video

half of spectators is about to go supernova, any day now...

Could a super giant star be penetrated repeatedly by a neutron star in an orbit around the center of mass of the supergiant star? Your model of a TZO implies a very perfect hit. I would think the chances are higher of irregular, erratic orbits leading to final Central emplacement. Something not dissimilar from the models of two galaxies of different sizes coalescing.

Thank you 🙏 guys I really like it ... I’m a star child . So I can say your Truly blessed in what you know ...and do a gift , Knowledge that you give some too hold for the rest of their lives ....and to gaze through he infante beauty of the Universe is the wonders of the stars ⭐️ and moons, I would love to be there too see it myself look through some of the most beautiful scoops in the world from the Vaticans devils looking glass to the massif sound of South America ,to SETI, and watch the 15 dishes swing around of the Alain telescope Aray.....Thank You all for the talk and the guest today .the good Doctor from Colorado Springs she failed to tell everyone we’re at 6856ft above sea level and and to look out over Colorado from PIKES PEAK is another beautiful place to gaze out over the world you can see the pitch and arch of the land ..you can see some of it from the live Cams that are at 114.110.ft. It’s massive to look on ... by far a beauty of its own.....Thank You again....keithy out ..

loving it but without a pop-filter or at least a compressor its unwatchable with headphones

Have you ever tried to connect gamma ray observatory with a space based telescope in real time?

at 18:00 so ursa minor looks like a big dipper. which made me confused

This video is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕

loved it

"Swift just pointed at North Korea again." "Dammit Kim stop wasting our fuel!"

39:20 Teaspoon of neutron stars weight more than mountain Everest Wow

Black holes...so strong..light can't escape...?so what are the jets? Stronger than a black hole? Please explain.....

Can a TZO still go supernova?

I thought Alice Cooper would make a showing. Thanks

This is the right theory of cosmic formation @32xk

Every so often, audio jumps ahead.....

Wow, excellent talk. A binary star system with one star INSIDE the other. That is freakin COOL! Will have to do some research and keep up with that study.

Some stars might be weird but how weird is life? The vastness of the Universe is mind boggling. It's hard to wrap my mind around the sheer numbers of galaxies that must exist 360 degrees around the tiny speck that we live on. Every one of those galaxies must have life or have had life that existed. We humans are fortunate to exist now and we're learning more about the Universe every day. Hey, we might have existed for just a million plus years but we're still the only intelligent land living species as far as we know, thus far. And despite the speculation of extraterrestrial lifeforms visiting us, we are the only intelligent life form -- that is proven to exist NOW. But how unique are we really? As a species we've come pretty late to the show. How many intelligent lifeforms have come and gone in the Universe since the beginning of time? How many space going cultures have explored other worlds for countless millions of years and then just became extinct, leaving no trace of their existence? How long will it take the human race to flourish, take to the stars and then vanish forever? We're just finding out now that entire civilizations might have existed on earth and then vanished long before our most recent ancestors discovered fire. How long will we survive? Indeed, a million years from now a new crop of humans or other sentient beings might rise up out of our ashes and wonder what happened to our lost civilization....

I reckon the cave painting just shows the stone was cut by the night shift

at 8:00, where are the 4 views? you need to point them

How does gravity pull so much hydrogen together to create a star 1billion miles in diameter???

Is there an upper limit on how much mass can absorb a companion star?

Talk @ 13:00

largest stars,tzos, great lectures, all in a decade's work for this astronomer.......

Regarding GRBs. Would the supernova burst be produced by the accretion near the event horizon?

All I heard was Anna Shitcough 58: 47

Why so many seats are empty

waving her hands around like she is on speed kncking the dam mic all the ------time crazy

Your arms move real dreamy!

15 people in the room and another 300,000 coming from the web.

At least you didn't say the weirdest sfars in Hollywood!

She is so dreamy 😲

From the habit of holding every thought and action captive to mind of the Creator, Who'd set long ago all the stars into their past & future perspective rhymes. This scripture; just one of many such in the scriptures, seems to coin this subject on stars the best. Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire. Great obligement for the revealments Emily & Frank. 1:08:22 ''Even your thoughts are dust'' -Lucinda Williams song ''Dust'' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLBlotGA2t-XcWw.html ''The Creator's (Dust to Dust) policy; don't waste nuthin'.'' -me 121519 1:18:47 That particular eclipse my Son & I had witnessed 5 miles outside of it's width path; bees returning to their bee crates as if it were at sundown. Also the cicadas which were sounding off had stopped their song. The shadows of the leaves were appearing on the ground as if doubled like shadowed lettering.

You don’t need to import any speakers with this lady’s caliber.

I wonder how we've determined how long our sun has before it gets rowdy.

They are looking in the opposite direction if they really want to know what is going on.

Guys you doing big since, but your record the sound quality is very poor

Is this dude Andy from The Office?

I wish you guys would spare me all the Disney-escque bright upbeat clever banter and get to the God Damn facts.

She is a great speaker and very beautiful but her brain 🧠😍♥

Hardly anyone in the audience

TZO FTW!

Okay thanks 🙏 for all 🙏 Great good 💐 💐 💐

Where were the young?

You can't be cocky when you are new

This is no better than "Stars 101."

A little complicated for a speech but i dont know the audience. And no one gets "time" on a telescope like that unless they have a family member or very close friend that's working at the observatory.

It's guy's like this that put ordinary people OFF astonomy. Bring back professor Brian plz

WELL, an Alien once told me....." theres a Black hole inside every thing. They work collectively. Bigger the object, bigger the pull. Basically, everything has an event horizon. The closer they are, the closer they are, to the same moment or event. Within every Proton is ENTANGLEMENT. " I saw a strange chart showing an Entanglement spectrum. Like a Periodic table. Am I crazy? Did I really see A Proton Entanglement Scanner. Each Focus node worked in pairs to focus on anything and mirror its composition, at infinite distance. And this he said was very very basic. Then told me, my consciousness is like a Radio wave emanation. How scared was I?

burning ??

wow audio FAIL....try harder

She has a lot of enthusiasm and passion for this. She needs a younger more vibrant audience haha

Gah, these videos are annoying when they use a laser pointer and you cannot see it in the video. Just don't know exactly what he is talking about at times :-/

Ok

Ceres stuff .

Huh.

c

I like my Stars weird! The weirder the better... Have a fantastic life, bored reader.

💖💖💘💘❤❤

One of the most important stars in the universe is there in the room, Emily Levesque herself. And to think that in most of recorded history she would have been confined to the kitchen and bedroom. What a waste.

Was there a Super nova at the time of birth of Jesus Christ?
