What's your favorite thing about space?

[KillerGnat 3,135]

The Big Bang. 

Blind faith right there it seems....

 

MilkyWay? no sir. I prefer CoffeyWay. 

No, give me a milky way plz, and give me some cookies to go with it.

 

 

 

Oh, and outer space is so mind-bogglingly complex that you can't simply have one favorite thing, imo. Although if I had to choose, I'd choose earth :3. The only planet we've found (so far) that can support life.

 

Btw, I believe there's a book called "The Privileged Planet," and supposedly it's pretty good. Haven't read it though, and I forget who wrote it. But the synopsis sounded interesting.

A space suit costs around $12,000,000 to make.

Yep, did some reading and I was wrong. Never expected these suits to be so extremely expensive.

It is a matter also of no mass production and it 's not company made, still wow 12 million! :o

 

http://www.nature.com/news/iron-man-like-exosuit-could-expand-ocean-exploration-1.14822

 

Goes only 300 metres down and will cost 1.3 million. Not cheap either!

So maybe I can still fix/falsefy a "win"...10.000 metres : 300 metres = 33.3

33.3 X 1.3 = 43.3 million... ;)

Omg omg ong omg i love space.... in a geek

You could fit all planets from the distance of Earth to the moon. http://www.universetoday.com/115672/you-could-fit-all-the-planets-between-the-earth-and-the-moon/

so not true

[A_R_A_K_E_L_Y_E_N 503]

33 earths between earth and moon

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

Didn't know that one ^

[A_R_A_K_E_L_Y_E_N 503]

Moon is roughly 402k km away from earth (for when i post this). It varies from 356400 km to 405000 km away. The equatorial radius of Earth is 6371 km (i know there are mountains and ditches... this is at sea level)

So 402000 devided by (6371x2) is.... 32..... so 405000 at its furthest is 33

[A_R_A_K_E_L_Y_E_N 503]

so not true

i admit to be muddled.

solarsystem planets fit between (with difficulty)

(I consider the long list of dwarf planets in the planets of the solar system)

However there have been found super jupiters in other sun systems which they by themselves wont fit

[A_R_A_K_E_L_Y_E_N 503]

Apparently, the wonky orbit of Neptune's moon Triton will cause it to crash into the planet. Wow.

one of mars' two moon is also crashing. Its actually crashing at an alarming rate. A few millimeters per year or more

Wow, that 's going to be a spectacle you 'll never forget, can 't wait!

 

When does it arrive? :D

(2) Carrington event

In 1859, Richard C. Carrington was observing the Sun when he noticed a giant cluster of sunspots (sunspots are giant, slightly cooler areas of the sun). After a while, he noticed a sudden eruption of the massive sunspots. The creepy thing about this explosion is that it was so powerful, it can wipe out anything electronic on Earth, thankfully, back in 1859, we weren't as dependent on electricity as we are today.

The creeper thing is that this almost happened in 2012. The thing is, the explosion happens about every 100 years, and when the explosion occurred in 2012, the explosion went straight thru Earths, fortunately, Earth was on the other side of it's orbit and missed the whole thing.

If im not mistAken:

This is a CME - coronal mass ejection- and is the result in a "glitch" in the suns magnetic flow. NASA has a very nice visual recording of one. Its an amazing phenomena.

You are correct, it's a CME, and NASA has pics of it in action, but the one in 1859 was the freakiest one.

The Milky Way is accompanied by many other galaxies and dwarf galaxies and dwarf spheroidals and spheroidals...... many of them being in "orbit" around the MilkyWay, Sagittauris for example.

There are a few "galactic bodies" catalogued, 2 of them being: messier and HIP. Messier was studying the night sky in the 1700s and he is the reason why many galaxies and nebulae have short name "M*" (just like turrets).

The Andromeda Galaxy is named M31 and has a very well know sub galacy known as M100

Finally more proof that the Earth is flat.
