    Meta & Fysikken: Afsnit 120: Kometer, Asteroider og lidt Artemis II
    2026/04/17
    Siden vi optog dette afsnit, så ER Artemis II kommet i luften, rundt om månen og ned på jorden igen! Det taler vi naturligvis om i et kommende afsnit. Karina’s noter til dette afsnit: 0: Der var lige en lille meteor over USA. 1: Den der asteroide der IKKE rammer Jorden i 2032 (den rammer så heller ikke Månen)2: Artemis II missionen3: ESA introduces space environment ‘health index’4: Europæiske Aerospace giganter slår sig sammen5: Ny Komet6: Oversigt over kommende kometer (med link!)7: Sidste nyt fra 3I/ATLAS—————————-1: Den der asteroide der IKKE rammer Jorden i 2032Fra Michael Linden-VørnleAsteroiden kommer...… og den skal være så velkommen!I starten af 2025 blev der talt og skrevet en del om den ca. 60 meter store asteroide 2024 YR4, fordi der havde vist sig en betydelig risiko for, at den ville ramme Jorden d. 22. december 2032. Vedholdende observationer af asteroiden afslørede dog, at der alligevel ikke var risiko for en kollision med Jorden. Til gengæld var der stadig en ret høj sandsynlighed for at 2024 YR4 ville ramme Månen.Et nedslag af en ca. 60 meter stor asteroide på Månen ville være særdeles interessant at observere for at lære mere om den kraterdannelse på Månen og andre himmellegemer, der netop er resultatet af nedslag af bl.a. større eller mindre asteroider. Nogle mente dog også, at en kollision mellem 2024 YR4 og Månen d. 22. december 2032 kunne udgøre en risiko for os på Jorden, da brudstykker fra nedslaget kunne slynges væk fra Månen og ramme vores planet.Uanset om man mener, at et nedslag af 2024 YR4 på Månen er en god eller dårlig ting, så er en kollision med vores nærmeste nabo i rummet nu altså også blevet taget af programmet for asteroidens besøg i 2032. Nye observationer lavet med James Webb-rumteleskopet har vist, at asteroiden ikke vil ramme Månen, men med størst sandsynlighed passere forbi i en afstand på mere end 20.000 km. Asteroider som 2024 YR4 er byggeaffald fra Solsystemets barndom og er derfor videnskabeligt uhyre interessante for at lære os mere om, hvordan vores planetsystem er blevet dannet og har udviklet sig. Når de altså vel at mærke er så elskværdige ikke at ramme vores planet. Så 2024 YR4 skal være mere end velkommen til at smutte forbi d. 22. december 2032.Billedet her viser 2024 YR4 optaget af James Webb-rumteleskopet d. 26. februar 2026. Billedet er gengivet i negativ farveskala – altså med lyse objekter (asteroiden) gengivet med mørke farver. Asteroiden er også markeret med en grøn ring.Læs mere hos ESA:https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Planetary_Defence/Asteroid_2024_YR4_will_not_impact_the_MoonCredit:NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, M. Micheli (ESA NEOCC)Den der asteroide der IKKE rammer jorden i 2032 rammer måske månen. -----------------------------------------2: Artemis IIhttps://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/artemis/Orion is developed to be capable of sending astronauts to the Moon and is a crucial step toward eventually sending crews on to Mars.The Orion spacecraft will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry and sustain the crew on Artemis missions to the Moon and return them safely to Earth. Orion will launch on NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket, the SLS (Space Launch System).SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and cargo directly to the Moon in a single launch. The Artemis II mission will carry astronauts farther from Earth and closer to the Moon than any human has been in over half a century. From this unique vantage point and environment, the Artemis II crew will work with scientists on Earth to facilitate science investigations to inform future human spaceflight missions. Det er altså kun et flyby. Der lander ingen mennesker på månen i denne omgang."The Artemis II astronauts will be the first humans to fly by the Moon in more than 50 years and will serve as scientific ambassadors to our nearest neighbor.On the journey to the Moon and back, the Orion capsule will fly by the far side of the Moon — the side that always faces away from Earth. During this three-hour period, astronauts will analyze and photograph geologic features, such as impact craters and ancient lava flows. They will rely on the extensive geology training they received in the classroom and in Moon-like places on Earth to describe nuances in shapes, textures, and colors — the type of information that reveals the geologic history of an area. These skills will be critical to exploring the Moon’s South Pole region through future missions."Hvad Michael Linden-Vørnle siger om sagen:NASA har i dag, d. 12. marts, meddelt, at Artemis II-missionen bliver klar til at komme af sted mod Månen i starten af april. Her skal de fire astronauter, chefen Reid Wiseman, piloten Victor Glover samt de to missionsspecialister Christina Koch og Jeremy Hansen (sidstnævnte fra Canada), i løbet af ti dage flyve ud til Månen, rundt om Månens bagside og hjem igen.Udmeldingen kommer som ...

    Meta & Fysikken: Afsnit 119: Øjet
    2026/03/28
    I dag dykker vi ned i øjets anatomi og hvordan synet egentlig virker. 1: Hvordan synet virker2: Hvad er langsynet / kortsynet3: Grå stær4: Laser Eye Surgery5: Nat linser6: Elektrisk omformning af øjet 7: Guld i Øjet8: Chip i øjet----------1: Hvordan synet virkerHjerne / Synet forbindelsehttps://videnskab.dk/krop-sundhed/oejet-kigger-men-hjernen-ser/2: Hvad er langsynet / kortsynetØjets form3: Grå stærHvad er det?4: Laser Eye SurgeryLASIKFor those who want do do away with corrective lenses, the main option is LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) surgery, which uses a laser to reshape the cornea by removing microscopic amounts of tissue beneath a thin flap, allowing light to focus properly on the retina. While, for those suitable for treatment, LASIK has a high success rate – around 95% of patients go on to ditch their glasses only a few days after recovering from surgery – it’s expensive and invasive, and cutting into the cornea alters the structural integrity of the eye.“LASIK is just a fancy way of doing traditional surgery,” said lead researcher and presenter Michael Hill, a professor in chemistry at Occidental College. “It’s still carving tissue – it’s just carving with a laser.”5: Nat linserhttps://www.city-optik-muenchen.de/en/orthokeratologie-muenchen-ortho-k-nachtlinsen/Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, offers a revolutionary way to correct vision without the need for glasses or daytime contacts. By wearing special contact lenses overnight, users can reshape the cornea and experience clear vision throughout the day. This method challenges the conventional approach to eyesight correction, offering a non-invasive alternative for those seeking freedom from corrective lenses.The cornea is the transparent part of the eye on which the contact lens is placed. It consists of five layers of different thicknesses. However, only the uppermost layer, the so-called epithelium, is important for us.Corneal epitheliumBowman membranestromaDescement’s membraneendotheliumThe corneal epithelium is about 0.04mm to 0.06mm thick. It is the uppermost layer of the cornea and renews itself completely once in 7 days. Such an epithelium as it occurs on the eye, there is similarly also on the “normal” skin on the human body. Such an epithelium scales itself off and is thus a protection for the underlying tissue. The Ortho-K contact lens makes use of this process by pushing the top layer of the epithelium from the middle of the cornea (directly above the pupil) to the edge by adhesive forces (tensile forces). Since only the top layer of the epithelium is moved here, the natural protective mechanism of the eye is fully preserved. In addition, this effect of orthokeratology is reversible due to the rapid regeneration time of the epithelium. This means that if the contact lens is no longer worn, it will take another 7 days for the old shortsightedness to be restored. Orthokeratology is in no way harmful to the eye compared to laser eye surgery, which destroys tissue in much deeper layers (stroma) in order to achieve a lasting effect. Recent studies from the USA, on the other hand, have even pointed out that the eye dioptres in orthokeratological contact lenses remain very constant, i.e. do not change. For this reason, Ortho-K contact lenses are also used with children who are already very shortsighted at a young age. In general, there is no age limit for orthokeratology.6: Elektrisk omformning af øjethttps://bli.uci.edu/laser-free-vision-correction-uses-electrical-current-to-reshape-eye/Electric Eye Treatment (EMR - electromechanical reshaping)Denne teknik er stadigvæk ikke godkendt til mennesker, men de er i gang med kliniske forsøg.Scientists have developed a novel, non-invasive technique that reshapes the cornea using only a mild electric current and a temporary pH shift. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye, acting as a transparent window that helps focus incoming light. It’s made of tightly packed collagen fibers and is designed to be strong and smooth. When light enters the eye, the cornea is the first lens it hits – and it’s here that most of light-bending (refraction) occurs in order to focus the light onto the retina at the rear of the eye. However, if the cornea has an irregular curve, it results in conditions such as nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia).What Hill and colleagues propose is instead working with the composition of the cornea to reshape the dome without removing any material from it. Made primarily of collagen, the cornea maintains its shape thanks to the arrangement of charged molecules and proteins. The researchers discovered that by applying a low-level electrical current through a specially designed platinum “contact lens” electrode, they could change the pH of the tissue, increasing the acidity of the corneal tissue, which would make it pliable just long enough to reshape – like fitting ...

    Meta & Fysikken: Afsnit 118: Tid - tilbage hvor vi startede. Eller?
    2026/03/11
    Sjovt nok så handlede vores allerførste afsnit om Tid og Tidsrejser (29.01.2018). Og nu tager vi lige et deep-dive tilbage til selvsamme tema.Karina’s noter til dagens afsnit:Tid - Målinger:Vi lever i en synkroniseret liv og tid er over det hel og en vigtig del af vores opfattelse af virkeligheden.Hvad er tid? Vi kan starte med hvordan man måler den: Med et ur.Et ur er en oscillator og noget der kan tælle svingningerne. Jo finere tidsinddelingen er, jo mere nøjagtigt kan uret være.Solen er en oscillator. Den går op og ned og vi er dem der tæller. Nøjagtighenden er 1 svingning per dag.Så opfandt vi pendul uret, hvor mekanik (tandhjul) tæller. Svært at bære rundt på og det skal trækkes op. Nøjagtighenden er ca. 1 svingning per sekund.Så opfandt vi Quartz uret. Her er det Quartz krystallen der svinger/vibrer/deformerer når den er udsat for en strøm.Her er det elektronik (digital logisk system) der tæller svingningerne. Nøjagtighed: 32 768 svingninger per sekund – approx. 10^(-13)Så kom atom uret: Cs atomer bruges her. "A Cæsium-133 atom has a ground state with a hyperfine structure, meaning the electron can have two slightly different energy levels based on whether its spin is aligned or anti-aligned with the nuclear spin.When hit with microwave radiation at the exact frequency of 9.192.631.770 Hz (cycles per second), the atoms transition between the lower state to the higher state. That gives us a way to tune the microwave radiation precisely and we can tune other light frequencies against that."Med andre ord så tæller uret 9 192 631 770 cycles/flips til at definere et sekund. Det giver en nøjagtihed på ~ 10^(-16). Vi er altså ude på det 16 decimal i vores nøjagtighed af sekundet.Dette er SI (International System of Units) definitionen af et sekund. I dag er international atomtid TAI (Temps Atomique International) givet ved middelvisningen af omkring 400 cæsiumure, der står på 50 nationale laboratorier rundt omkring i verden.Der er planer om at lave en ny SI definition af sekundet i 2030, hvor man vil bruge et andet atom der giver en bedre nøjagtighed. Det er der brug for. I dag i laboratorier måler man tid med en nøjagtighed på 18-20 decimaler, og så er det mærkeligt at sekundet er dårligere defineret. Det er her i 2026 at man vil beslutte sig for hvilket atom man så vil bruge. Det skal helst være et atom der har finstruktur hvor lyset skal have mange svingninger per sekund. En kandidat er 87^Sr som har 429000*10^9 svingninger per sekund. (Cs er 9GHz og Sr er 429 THz). En anden kandidat er Thorium: https://www.sciencealert.com/timekeeping-is-on-the-verge-of-a-giant-leap-in-accuracy-heres-whyMan bruger lasere til disse atom ure. Elerktroner er for store og klodsede til det. En nøjagtighed på 10^(-18) betyder at to urer der blev synkroniseret omkring 'the Big Bang' vil i dag kun være 1 sekund fra hinanden.Hver gang nøjagtigheden er blevet bedre, er der opstået nye anvendelser, som vi ikke anede, vi havde brug for.Rum - TidUniverset som helhed har en universel tid, som skrider fremad, efterhånden som rummet udvider sig, men der findes også et andet tidsbegreb, nemlig den lokale tid.Tiden løber ikke med samme samme hastighed alle steder. Du vil ikke selv mærke / måle det. Dit ur ser for dig altid ud til at gå rigtigt. Så uanset hvor i universet du sidder med dit Cs atom så giver den dig en tidsmåling som er korrekt (for dig).Der er 2 effekter:1) I et tyngdefelt: (gravitational time dilation)Den ene effekt af det her er når der er tyngdekraft. Når du er i tyngdefelt, er du er et sted hvor rummet er blevet bukket. Så løber tiden langsommere, end hvis du står et sted, hvor der ikke er blevet bukket. Altså, når jeg prøver at forestille mig det her, så lukker jeg øjnene og laver et billede i mit hoved. Jeg forestiller mig et stort netværk af af linjer. Nogen der går den ene vej og nogen der går på tværs, altså vinkelret på de første linier.Det er sådan et helt fint og ensartet net. Der er lige langt mellem hvert eneste krydspunkt. Sådan ser jeg nettet hele vejen ud til alle sider rundt om mig og hele vejen opad, fordi det faktisk ikke bare er et stykke papir. Det er faktisk et 3D objekt der går hele vejen op og ned også. Hele rummet er pænt og flot, fordi der er lige langt i mellem hvert eneste krydspunkt over det hele. Nu tager jeg og putter en masse ind et sted, og det vrider mine bitte små målestokke i mit fine spin. Nu er der ikke længere lige langt mellem krydspunkterne. Der er blevet hevet i det og nu er der længere imellem knudepunkterne.Mit fine net er ikke kun rum, det er også tid og min tid løber en bestemt afstand imellem 2 knudepunkter. Nu hvor mit net er blever forvrænget af massen er tiden også blevet forvrænget. Man kan sige at et sekund er længden mellem 2 knuder. For at gøre noget abstrakt og usynligt håndgribeligt. Tiden er en fysisk størrelse, og den hører sammen med rumtiden. Og ...

So, redistributing Earth's surface weight re-orientates its spin axis, whether that be through damming water, melting glaciers, or groundwater removal.But it's only Earth's outer crust floating over its gooey inner parts – not the inner goo generating the magnetic field – that shift, leading to a different part of Earth's surface sitting over our planet's inner magnetic north.So, while north itself hasn't really moved in space, Earth's surface has shifted around, over the top of it. This phenomenon is called true polar wander.https://www.sciencealert.com/earths-flipping-magnetic-field-heard-as-a-sound-is-an-unnerving-horror———PlastikThe primary source of plastic isfossil fuels, specifically crude oil and natural gas.

The facility can produce up to 4 tons of renewable hydrogen per day and is Lhyfe's largest outside of France.While it's the largest operational commercial plant, there are larger-scale projects planned for the future in Germany, such as a 130 MW plant planned for Prenzlau by ENERTRAG.https://engineerine.com/largest-green-hydrogen-plant/https://www.lhyfe.com/press/lhyfe-inaugurates-germanys-largest-commercial-renewable-hydrogen-production-site-in-baden-wurttemberg-to-distribute-rfnbo-certified-hydrogen-to-a-range-of-players/A green hydrogen factory is good for the climate because it can be produced using renewable energy, with zero greenhouse gas emissions, and can replace fossil fuels in sectors that are hard to electrify, like heavy industry. When used in a fuel cell, hydrogen only releases water vapor and warm air, making it a clean energy carrier that can also store and deliver renewable energy.#Hydrogen Fuel Cell makes electricity directly.

Volcanic eruptions can release gases like sulfur dioxide (\(SO_\)), which create aerosols that reflect sunlight and cause temporary global cooling, as seen after the Mount Pinatubo eruption. However, volcanoes also release carbon dioxide (\(CO_\)), a greenhouse gas that contributes to warming, though the amount from volcanoes is significantly less than human-generated \(CO_\). Short-term cooling effects Sulfuric acid aerosols: Eruptions inject sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, where it reacts with water to form tiny sulfuric acid droplets.Reflection of sunlight: These aerosols act like a global "umbrella," reflecting incoming solar radiation back into space and causing a temporary cooling effect that can last for several years.Examples: The 1991 Pinatubo eruption caused a global cooling of about \(0.5^ C\) for a year, and the 1815 Tambora eruption led to "the year without a summer" in 1816. Long-term warming effects Carbon dioxide (\(CO_\)): Volcanoes release \(CO_\), a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.Minor contribution: The \(CO_\) emitted by volcanoes is a very small fraction of the total greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, with human activities being the dominant source. For example, the \(CO_\) from the Pinatubo eruption was only about half of what humans produce in two days

The instruments collected information about how the comet is behaving and what it is made of.In addition, Juice snapped the comet with its onboard Navigation Camera (NavCam), designed not as a high-resolution science camera, but to help Juice navigate Jupiter’s icy moons following arrival in 2031.Though the data from the science instruments won’t arrive on Earth until February 2026, our Juice team couldn’t wait that long. They decided to try downloading just a quarter of a single NavCam image to see what was in store for them. The very clearly visible comet, surrounded by signs of activity, surprised them.Not only do we clearly see the glowing halo of gas surrounding the comet known as its coma, we also see a hint of two tails. The comet’s ‘plasma tail’ – made up of electrically charged gas, stretches out towards the top of the frame. We may also be able to see a fainter ‘dust tail’ – made up of tiny solid particles – stretching to the lower left of the frame.The image was taken on 2 November 2025, during Juice’s first slot for observing 3I/ATLAS. It was two days before Juice’s closest approach to the comet, which occurred on 4 November at a distance of about 66 million km.We expect to receive the data from the five scientific instruments switched on during the observations – JANUS, MAJIS, UVS, SWI and PEP – on 18 and 20 February 2026. The delay is because Juice is currently using its main high-gain antenna as a heat shield to protect it from the Sun, leaving its smaller medium-gain antenna to send data back to Earth at a much lower rate.Though Juice was further from 3I/ATLAS than our Mars orbiters were back in October, it observed 3I/ATLAS just after the comet’s closest approach to the Sun, meaning that it was in a more active state. We expect to see clearer signs of this activity in the data from the science instruments. This includes not only images from JANUS – Juice’s high-resolution optical camera – but also spectrometry data from MAJIS and UVS, composition data from SWI, and particle data from PEP.ESA - ESA’s ExoMars and Mars Express observe comet 3I/ATLASWe have an update on 3I/ATLAS! Until September, figuring out the location and trajectory of 3I/ATLAS relied on Earth-based telescopes. Then between 1 and 7 October, our ExoMars TGO turned its eyes towards the interstellar comet from its orbit around Mars. The comet passed relatively close to Mars, approaching to about 29 million km during its closest phase on 3 October.The Mars probe observed the comet from a new viewing angle. The triangulation of its data with data from Earth helped to make the comet’s predicted path much more accurate. The result was an impressive ten-fold leap in accuracy, reducing the uncertainty of the object’s location.Because 3I/ATLAS is passing through our Solar System fast, travelling with speeds up to 250 000 km/h, it will soon vanish into interstellar space, never to return.The comet is currently being observed with our Juice spacecraft. Though Juice is farther from 3I/ATLAS than the Mars orbiters were last month, it is seeing the comet just after its closest approach to the Sun, when it is in a more active state. We don’t expect to receive data from Juice’s observations until February 2026.

    Meta & Fysikken: Afsnit 114: Klima-status.
    2025/10/31
    Vi tager lige en status på klimaet, her Oktober 2025.1: Ocean Warming2: Koralrev3:Tipping Points4: Permafrost i Rusland5: Hvad gør vi med den CO2 vi indfanger?6: Fuel Cells / Green Hydrogen plant7: Kelp Farming in Norway------------------------------------------------1 : Ocean warming : https://www.sciencealert.com/ocean-warming-threatens-microbe-that-makes-nearly-a-third-of-earths-oxygenJeff Berardelli (meterolog USA):It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. I won't bother calculating the chances of this happening against the late 20th century climate - let alone the pre-industrial climate - because the numbers would show it simply could never happen without global warming.So let's talk about why this is happening. Since the last El Nino a couple of years ago the ocean has been rearranging its warm/cool water, as it typically does as a normal part of it's natural oscillation. (This summer a record ridge/ heat dome was parked over the N Pacific).But each next time this configuration lines up (warm north Pacific/ cool tropical Pacific) it piles on a higher and higher baseline temperature over time due to greenhouse warming, air pollution reduction, and the feedbacks (clouds & direct insolation) of both. So we end up with the bottom chart which shows the standardized anomaly (departure from normal) is sloping upward at a very unnatural and alarming rate.2: Koralrevhttps://www.dr.dk/nyheder/viden/klima/ny-rapport-det-er-saa-godt-som-uundgaaeligt-verdens-koralrev-kollapserhttps://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/oejenaabner-genopretning-af-koraller-kan-ikke-redde-verdens-rev/3: Tipping Pointshttps://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/tipping-points-lyder-skraemmende-men-der-er-haab-endnu/4: Permafrost i Rusland:https://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/klimabombe-i-rusland-danske-forskere-advarer-om-alvorlig-mangel-paa-videnOgså:Eksploderende Methan gas i Siberien:https://www.sciencealert.com/mysterious-giant-exploding-craters-in-siberia-may-finally-be-explained5:Hvad gør vi med den CO2 vi indfangerhttps://videnskab.dk/teknologi/hvad-goer-vi-med-den-co2-vi-fanger/Vi sender noget af den tilbage til oliefelterne vi har tømt i de danske farvande.

The facility can produce up to 4 tons of renewable hydrogen per day and is Lhyfe's largest outside of France. While it's the largest operational commercial plant, there are larger-scale projects planned for the future in Germany, such as a 130 MW plant planned for Prenzlau by ENERTRAG. https://engineerine.com/largest-green-hydrogen-plant/https://www.lhyfe.com/press/lhyfe-inaugurates-germanys-largest-commercial-renewable-hydrogen-production-site-in-baden-wurttemberg-to-distribute-rfnbo-certified-hydrogen-to-a-range-of-players/A green hydrogen factory is good for the climate because it can be produced using renewable energy, with zero greenhouse gas emissions, and can replace fossil fuels in sectors that are hard to electrify, like heavy industry. When used in a fuel cell, hydrogen only releases water vapor and warm air, making it a clean energy carrier that can also store and deliver renewable energy. #Hydrogen Fuel Cell makes electricity directly. They also produce water vapor, heat and, depending on the fuel source, very small amounts of nitrogen dioxide and other emissions.-------------------------7: Kelp farming in Norwayhttps://www.dnv.com/news/2024/new-seaweed-farm-off-the-norwegian-coast-seeks-to-remove-co2-from-the-atmosphere-252006/--------------------------------8: State of Climate Action 2025:https://www.wri.org/research/state-climate-action-2025" It finds that recent progress toward 1.5°C-aligned targets has largely failed to materialize at the required pace and scale and highlights where action must accelerate this decade to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, scale up carbon removal and increase climate finance."" Although more than three-quarters of indicators are heading in the right direction, progress is alarmingly inadequate, exposing communities, economies and ecosystems to unacceptable risks. Global efforts across 29 indicators are “well off track,” such that at least a twofold—and for most, more than a fourfold—acceleration will be required this decade to keep the 1.5°C limit within reach. "Getting on track for 2030 and staying on track for 2035 demands an enormous acceleration of efforts across every sector. The world must, for example:Phase out coal more than ten times faster — equivalent to retiring nearly 360 average-sized coal-fired power plants each year and halting all projects in the pipeline.Reduce ...

    Meta & Fysikken: Afsnit 113: Deep State! Hvor ender vores personlige data egentlig henne?
    2025/10/24

    Idag tager vi et langt og “unscripted” tilløb til lidt om kometer, som var det vi egentlig havde forberedt. Men vi kom igang ude på et helt andet spor. Så hvis du sidder og KUN er interesseret i det om kometer, så kan du skippe frem til 33:50, hvor vi kommer ind på kometer på nattehimlen.

    Inden da taler vi om Karina’s ansøgning om tysk statsborgerskab, de oplysninger myndighederne kræver, hvor mon disse oplysninger ender henne? - og vi kommer ind på Deep State og masseovervågning i det hele taget.

    Her er Karinas forberedte noter til dagens afsnit:
