An unusual celestial body that has 65 elements found in it that science doesn't know why. Could this star be an example of a Light House in space, allowing travellers to orient themselves in the vastness of the cosmos?

Thanks For All The Fish.... and Comments!

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 11:30:00 -0400

The guest we had ready to go messaged last minute saying that nearly all the stuff we had recorded previously is now outdated because even more amazing things were happening. So, instead of having a part 2 episode to fix all the things, I told them we would have them on and rerecord. BUT, I didn't want to skip a week, so I decided to have a fun mail-bag episode and talk with everyone about where I want to see this show going.

And, I decided to share the inaugural Factoid Hotline voicemail here! Thank you to John Ballou of Jack Bear Stamps for his Factoid question! If you know the answer, message us! The first right answer gets a sticker sent to them!
