Biff Mayhem Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 FTR I am not a huge fan of all things space related but sometimes I am entertained by being able to see the ISS flying over, eclipses and blood moons. Apparently this will be a once-in-50,000 year event: Quote
oblong Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I get an email every time the ISS flies over my area. Quote
Screwball Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Call me lazy, but I've been busy today. I'm sure there will be more news about this, but the short question is; when and where? Quote

casimir Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 There is another total eclipse in April of 2024. If my house isn’t in the path of total eclipse, it’s damn near close to it. I’m taking the day off to stay home and enjoy the shenanigans. Quote

1984Echoes Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 I'm waiting for the first discovery of Earth 2.0. With the clincher being an atmosphere with water vapor. They haven't yet found (a) a rocky planet, (b) that's in the habitable zone, (c) with a circular or barely elliptical orbit (some discoveries are with huge elliptical orbits), (d) with an orbit that is not 28 days or less (some are orbiting their sun every two days!!!), and lastly and most critically (e) with a water vapor atmosphere... This is not it yet, but James Webb exoplanet discovery: https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/james-webb-telescope-finds-first-exoplanet-rcna65374 Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Explosion in Space today. Well, not today, but 140 million years ago. A "perfect" explosion https://scienceblog.com/536582/astrophysicists-discover-the-perfect-explosion-in-space/ 2 Quote

So the explosion was 140,000,006 years ago. Quote
