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.

22:20 [Alderaan] Could a meteor storm destroy satellites?

23:49 [Dagobah] Could aliens know there's life on Earth?
