A Daniel, what does it take to be a star?

I think you either have to have enormous natural talent or rich and famous parents.

I bet that helps.

But what about a star out there in the universe?

Oh, that's easier.

All you need is a lot of gas, like a lot of gas.

Like the burping kind or the other kind of gas.

Any kind of gas?

Like, can I make a star out of methane?

I don't really know how that would smell, but I bet it would burn pretty well.

How about a star man out of laughing gas?

That would be pretty funny.

Hi, I'm Lauren Hamay, cartoonist and the creator of PhD Comics.

Hi, I'm Daniel.

I'm a particle physicist and I'm no kind of star.

But I bet you're a gas.

I try to make people laugh.

Welcome to our podcast, Daniel and Jorge, explain the universe a production of I Hard

Radio, in which we try to gas you up about all the incredible things out there in the

universe, the things we understand, the things we don't understand and the things that scientists

are still puzzling over and the things that make you curious about how our universe works.

We try to wrap it all up and check some jokes and make it all understandable to you.
