Cleo Abram Story of October 23, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

This Tesla Just Flew. HOW??

How does a car stay on the road when the road turns upside down? Cleo Abram reaches for a Lego race car to explain the familiar answer, aerodynamic downforce, before showing why Tesla's stunt needs a different one.

In "This Tesla Just Flew. HOW??", she points to a patent for deployable skirts and fan suction that can generate downforce without the car moving. The airborne part gets a separate explanation: cold gas thrusters using high-pressure nitrogen. And there is no driver inside during the preprogrammed maneuvers, she notes.

At about 3.5 million views, it is her most-watched upload of the week. The comments turn the engineering into everyday logistical questions: what happens to your hot coffee, how do you land, and could this become real-life Rocket League?

The strongest daily momentum now belongs to "Clouds Are Way Heavier Than You Think", which asks why all that water stays overhead. Behind it comes "The Most Likely Place to Find Aliens", a longer conversation with planetary scientist Sara Seager. They move from reading distant planets' atmospheres to searching for signs of life in Venus's clouds. Abram describes the question of where the aliens are as one she has carried since childhood.

"The Science Behind My Dog's Food" rounds out the new releases on a more domestic scale. Meanwhile, the older, sponsored explainer "The Sun Is Weirder Than You Think" remains among her most active videos.

The channel added roughly 30,000 subscribers over the week, and daily views are now more than double their usual level. Among nearby science channels, NileRed also had a substantial week of viewing, while SmarterEveryDay was quieter. For Abram, the week's range runs from a car clinging upside down to the possibility of life above another planet.
