Universe Today Podcast 836: Orbit Size Telescopes, Meteors Destroying Satellites, Artificial Gravity | Q&A 186
In this week's Questions and Answers show, I answer what it would take to build a telescope as big as the Earth's orbit around the Sun, why SgrA* seems to have been rolled over on its side, and how we know the age of stars.
