[0:14:59 - 0:15:09] He was a priest, loyal to the church. He said, here is a model where the
sun is at the center and I can give you much better prediction of when Easter takes place.
[0:16:43 - 0:16:54] This one was pushed away by reflecting
sunlight and then three weeks later they realized, oh, it's a rocket booster from a 1966 launch by NASA.
[0:17:04 - 0:17:14] Three years earlier when OmoMo was spotted and it also showed the emotion consistent with a push by reflecting
sunlight.
[0:17:36 - 0:17:44] And then I suggested maybe it is technological in origin and since we didn't launch it, it's not bound to the
sun.
[0:33:47 - 0:33:58] The good news is we have a lamppost in our vicinity. It's called the
sun. The
sun illuminates the darkness of space. And so it's easier to find your keys under the lamppost.
[0:33:58 - 0:34:14] So when objects from outside the solar system come close to the
sun, they get illuminated, they get heated. So from a distance, you can see them. And you can also, if they evaporate as a result of coming too close to the
sun, you can actually detect what they are made of.
[0:34:14 - 0:34:35] And so I wrote a paper a month and a half ago, just explaining that a meter sized telescope in space could detect every five hours a new object that comes within the orbit of mercury around the
sun, which is three times closer to the
sun than the Earth is.
[0:34:35 - 0:34:55] Just because the
sun illuminates such objects so brightly and I'm talking about objects that are of the order of a meter in size, you know, we, Omoa Moa was 100 meters in size, the size of a food world field bigger than starship, you know, our biggest rocket that we ever.
[0:40:30 - 0:40:43] You know, there was a paper by an astronomer named Otto Strouve from 1952, who said that if a planet like Jupiter happens to be close to a star like the
sun,
[0:42:40 - 0:42:50] It's not extraordinary. And I say billions of years ago because most stars from billions of years before the
sun, the
sun formed only in the last one third of cosmic history.
[0:57:31 - 0:57:44] I mean, so when we launch spacecraft, we are just responding to the standard gravity that, you know, the Earth, the
Sun, planets, any other body generates.
[1:37:24 - 1:37:40] So that would be interesting to see if we detect anything that we can't see even something like an massive asteroid, but it doesn't reflect any
sunlight. So what is going on? We see an object passing and we don't.
