- This episode was made in partnership with The Kavli Prize. The Kavli Prize honors scientists for breakthroughs in astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience - transforming our understanding of the big, the small, and the complex.
While doing some light reading of data from a telescope, Conny Aerts made a breakthrough that allowed her to lead the charge in the field of asteroseismology and win her the 2022 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics.

About her childhood: Belgium is not like the US. So rural is not as rural as you imagine, since the population density is much higger. More like suburbs in the US I would say, which also means more light pollution. Also being working class (or poor) doesn't affect your academic chances as much as in the US. There is ab excellent public school system and no need for exensive private schools. Also you don't need to be rich for college/university. Plus a lot of social welfare stuff. So it's not that uncommon for a working class kid to go to university, although it might be a bit harder. Still: being the first one of the family is a great job (not to mention her later achievements).
What a Channel!! Always bringing the most amazing space news in digestible ways! Savannah is an amazing host!
Agreed, Savannah does a great job 😃
Fascinating.
I love it, I always tell my 2 boys your job isn't invented yet. perfect example!!
I love that!!
Yeah I bet they can't wait to be a space janitor at Amazon Orbital Warehouse, so king Bezos can amass even more disgusting levels of wealth. Like, at what point do you just kind of say 'you know what.. I literally would have to spend 30 million every day for 30 years in order to completely exhaust my fortune. That's basically impossible. I think I'm okay with what I have, there's really no point in hoarding more when the next 15 generations of mine are set for life.
Now I can focus on enjoying life and helping others in need instead of just chasing that dollar and working my life away'
But no, they never say that. They all chase that dollar like a junkie until they're dead. Every goddamn single one of them
LOL. My maths master, when introducing my class to binary arithmetic in 1976, said "You don't have to remember any of this; it's only used in computing"!
Great parenting!
so glad they're still doing great minds videos. theyre what got me interested in the channel to begin with
Love me some scishow space
That's brilliant and inspiring
Material is not pulled into the centre of a star. It is pushed in.
As you move closer to the centre of a star, the gravity decreases but the pressure increases. Near the centre, pressure is the dominating force. The centre of a star is being pushed together by the surrounding material.
That’s an interesting nuance I hadn’t considered. Thanks!
Gravity doesn’t push.
Wouldn’t it be more like it “falls” in and is compressed by the material above it, also falling in? Not dissimilar from atmospheric pressure here on earth. The air is pushing down on me, but gravity is the cause by providing a curvature of spacetime, creating a well for the material to fall downward. It’s providing an apparent pulling force, even though it’s not “pulling”. Either way it’s definitely not pushing.
@@robertt9342 Yes, gravity pulls in the outer layers , which in turn, pushes the core together.
what a great video. I love this semi deep dive i to some fascinating people and their works. Keep up the great content!!
Awesome!
What a rad subject (both the person and the topic). And Savannah's a great host. :)
Thanks for bringing into more eyes the amazing contributions of female scientists.
Sure it was light reading. It was all about light.
She's an inspiration!
Earthshaking discovery!
Well, starshaking, anyway.
0:55 Belgium is one of the worst countries in the world to stargaze its usually cloudy and we have the most extreme unnecessary streetlighting in the world
What an amazing woman!
When Savanah said "She was doing some light reading", do they mean multiple images over time of the area the star was in, or just raw data, like electromagnetic or gravitational wave readings, or both?
Just so you know, it's pronounced like the word Arts. The e is not pronounced, it used to be used to make the letter before it (in this case A) sound longer.
Yes, in Dutch Aerts is just an older spelling of Aarts.
@@ruawhitepaw honestly, I have never seen Aarts as a last name. Looks so weird 🙂
@@ccatarinajm7114 There's plenty if I do a search for it.
@@ruawhitepaw Are they in Belgium or in the Netherlands? Just curious.
I have to say, most of the times when English people pronounce Dutch / Flemmish things, they sound rather bad. But props where props are due, the way you pronounced Leuven is nearly spot on!
Most of the time Americans can't even pronounce English words correctly! e.g. "era" does not sound like "error"!
Is there ACTUALLY something going on with Jupiter? What is it?
Mjamm mjamm mjamm 🍀🎖❤️
If you consider possible moons in mass of exoplanets .
How far tye moon is from the planet might also make it's mass appear greater
But it would be in certain direction do to the moons orbit.
And that's we might detect exomoons
Why is it astero- and not astro- ?
The kavli prize... What an unfortunate name :( ...
In Greek language at least...
Does he know?
nomiza oti trollare stin arxi..🤣🤣
At least they stress the first syllable
Well, don't keep us waiting, what does it sound like in Greek? Vagina? Idiot? Faeces?
@@greensteve9307 KAVLI is just one of the terms we use for 🍆 😂
I'm not sure I can trust someone named Con Aerts
