SpaceX's Awesome New Craft, and 'Mega-Earth' Discovered

The video discusses two major space-related topics. First, it covers the discovery of a new class of exoplanet called a Mega Earth, specifically Kepler-10C, which challenges existing theories about planet formation due to its unexpected density and composition. Second, it highlights the unveiling of SpaceX's Dragon V2, the first manned American spacecraft since 2011, which will transport astronauts to the ISS. The video concludes with a call to support SciShow Space.

What is the name of the new class of exoplanet discovered by astronomers?

• Super Jupiter

• Mega Earth

• Giant Saturn

• Mini Neptune

What was the surprising finding about Kepler-10C's composition?

• It has a thick atmosphere of hydrogen

• It is mostly made of gas

• It is similar in size to Earth

• It is composed entirely of dense rock

Why is Kepler-10C's density considered problematic?

• It should have attracted thick layers of gas

• It formed too recently to have such density

• It is too small to be a rocky planet

• There is not enough solid material in the universe

What is the name of the spacecraft unveiled by SpaceX for American astronauts?

• Dragon V2

• Orion

• Starship

• Falcon Heavy

What unique feature does the Dragon V2 spacecraft have?

• It has a fully printed engine called SuperDraco

• It can carry up to 20 astronauts

• It can travel to Mars

• It is powered by solar panels
