Spotted One of the Fastest Pulsars Ever Seen SciShow News.mp4

The video discusses the discovery of a fast-moving pulsar, J0002, by radio astronomers. This pulsar, formed from a supernova, travels at an extraordinary speed and has a long tail. The video also covers a new material, Agxx, tested on the International Space Station, which significantly reduces bacteria, addressing the challenges of microbial growth in space.

How was the pulsar J0002+6216 discovered?

• By a single supercomputer.

• Through a citizen science project.

• By accident during a different study.

• Using a telescope on Mars.

What is the significance of the pulsar J0002+6216's speed?

• It is slower than most pulsars.

• It is faster than 99% of measured pulsars.

• It is the slowest pulsar ever recorded.

• It moves at the same speed as light.

What is the estimated distance of pulsar J0002+6216 from Earth?

• 500 light years

• 6-5 hundred light years

• 1,000 light years

• 10,000 light years

What is the main challenge of bacteria in space?

• They can become stronger and mutate faster.

• They mutate slower in space.

• They are completely eradicated in space.

• They cannot survive in microgravity.

What elements are combined to create the new material Agxx?

• Iron and nickel

• Silver and ruthenium

• Copper and zinc

• Gold and silver

What was the reduction in bacteria on the Agxx-coated area after 19 months?

• No reduction

• 30% reduction

• 50% reduction

• 80% reduction

Why is the antibacterial property of silver significant?

• It is a new discovery.

• It has been known for thousands of years.

• It is only effective in space.

• It is ineffective against superbugs.
