wallet55:
Dino farts!

Trinoc:
Thanks guys. WTN starts at 55:13.

My guess: someone playing one of the alleged earliest known musical instruments, such as a hollow bone whistle with holes in the side found at a Neanderthal or ancient modern human site.

Edit: Or more likely a replica, since I don't think they would like someone to blow damp human breath through a unique ancient artefact.

seaotter:
Thanks for the podcast and the community!

Trinoc:
SoF: I was sure I'd seen somewhere that Hubble collects so much light that pointing it at the Earth or Moon would burn stuff out, so I chose that one as the fiction. It's a pity the lightning one is fiction, but I doubt it will be for much longer.
