00:00.000  News Press radio 1290AM. music: Gato Europa.  B-deep space.  JerryW President SBAU.  PatF wife with him.  B-used to do compatible couples and did "newlywed game" questions.  eggs? etc.  What attracted Pat to Jerry?   jerryW met patF in 1996.  married 2002?   JW-worked at SBRC, Raytheon bought in 1998.  B-read his article?  Pat-Neutron stars.  SBAU news letter article...Baron-Neutron stars, fused protons and electrons? JW- orbits vs. orbitals shell.  JW-Deuterium;  Fuse D into water, get D2O. in an atom stabelfor every.  But if Neutron on its own has15min half life.   anti-matter electron is positron.  everything is a balance in stars, gravity vs. heat pushing out.  if heat stops, gravitational compression heats core, fuses helium, carbon, highest fusion is iron, gravity pulls iron atoms together, protons become neutrons.    music: "Music of the Night") is a song from the 1986 musical The Phantom of the Opera. The music was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Charles Hart.

music: "a star of gas"  B-Memorial Day show, replayed several times.  Pat Friendship Center board member.  Solar eclipse Monmouth, Oregon, (also Australia).  Daughter becoming a registered nurse.  Pat-another daughter, JW-son phd environmental engineering, basically marine biologist.  JW-built 1st telescope in hs, small spot tele at 10yr, other friends also had them.  lay on ground, tripod on bench, then look up thru telescope.  we hear stars are points, but looked like disks in the out of focus star.  Newton made 1st reflecting telescope.  JW-holding tele is universal mount.  B-aware of what navy uses as periscopes?  JW-video camera now.  PF-7 teles?  JW-14" and 18".  telescope workshop w/ 3 others.  B-ChuckMcP camera use typical?  JW-camera integrates image photons over time, so makes much brighter image like people see in magazines.  Hubble is above atmosphere, but costs a lot to put up, 96" mirror, full resolution, but now adaptive optics, a rubber mirror in optical train, measure distortion of atmosphere if on earth, so much bigger telescopes can be used on earth.  B-takes a lot of pictures and averages them out?  JW-no, software stacking adding images together.  B-what is binary star system?  more than half of stars are.  music: Gato, Europa.

If you see a business show chart with wiggle, compared to the straight line drawn, this is like types of stars.  B-singularity is where time stops?  JW-no, this is at surface of bh.  space ship appoaching black hole would seem to slow to stop, time goes slower.  Magnetar-so strong atom on surface, layers that are superconducting.
