For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread
JoeSchmuckatelli replied to Skyler4856's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Is there a radius relationship between planets or moons in a 3:2 resonance around the primary? (I.e. If I want to put a pair of moons in a stable 3:2 resonance in Universe Sandbox, can i place the first one and then use some multiple of the distance from the planet to use as the radial distance for the second moon? Or is it a whole lot more complicated than that?} -

Belligerence, insolence and indolence come to mind. Sorry - guess I've been a boss too long. -
The world and technology is sufficiently complex at this point, that dual use is hardly surprising. Further, there is a rich history of military application things being the driver of innovation in the civil sector. I certainly don't think OP has to resign himself to any military-centric company... but to try to be wholly separate from any possible military application of anything would be difficult. That said, I'm not sure these guys are heavily focused in MilTech: Glider - All the aeronautical manufacturers (aeroexpo.online)

At least in the States, you will find companies that provide both civil and military products - but often they're in different divisions within the same overall corporation. If you object to that kind of split, it will be a challenge. (Government funding is a huge source of revenue). But if you want to avoid direct work for the government side - pick any of the big names in civil aviation and scroll through the openings. Otherwise you are looking at smaller companies that specialize in only civil aviation. Space? Mostly government funded is my guess. I doubt any space company can be viable without hauling stuff for a government. ... Recreational drone companies? Drones are going to be huge. I don't have your education - but I know that any tech can be both civil or military, but that military has to be higher performance, in general. You just need to decide how 'military adjacent' you can stand to be w/r/t any company. Talk to professors, recruiters, the placement office at your school, and maybe look for 'civil air shows' or 'rich people toys' to see who's out there GL

Starlink Thread (split from SpaceX)
JoeSchmuckatelli replied to DAL59's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Yeah, nice to see that they address this head-on. Also, the 'perspective' piece about altitude, with 1200km satellites being visible at midnight vs Starlink's low altitude. -

The James Webb Space Telescope and stuff
JoeSchmuckatelli replied to Streetwind's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Isn't this cute: Webb's first SuperNova! ASTRONOMERS spotted something unusual happening in a distant galaxy in recent images from the James Webb Space Telescope — something that wasn’t there when Hubble last looked at the same galaxy. "We suspect it's a supernova," astronomer Mike Engesser of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) tells Inverse. Finding short-lived cosmic events like supernovae isn’t what Webb was designed to do, but the newly-operational space telescope seems to be full of surprises. And this one could open the door for looking for the death throes of the universe's first generations of massive stars. ... It's extremely bright compared to the rest of the galaxy, for one thing. And Webb observed the galaxy, called SDSS.J141930.11+5251593, twice, five days apart; the object dimmed, just slightly, over those five days — classic supernova behavior. The James Webb Space Telescope may have just found its first supernova (inverse.com)- 869 replies

Yeah, the 'near the horizon' effect. Planet and star look larger b/c of perspective with horizon vs at zenith. Although - just checked: Jupiter from Io would appear 39 times larger than Earth's moon does from... here. So I suspect the perspective is REALLY forced in the artwork above. Or... the water moon is on a straight-line collision course and seconds from being shredded

Holy Frijoles! Article builds on what I posted earlier. Two Weeks In, the Webb Space Telescope Is Reshaping Astronomy | Quanta Magazine More pics in the article - which is a good read. Wait till you see the diff between the galaxy above and Hubble's view of it.- 869 replies
