Some more, some less depending on radial velocities of the stars. Also, constellations are no real thing, they are just human imaginations. They differ with time and culture. Based off my calculations, Bernard's star, the fastest moving relative to earth, has moved only 16.6 degrees in the history of the world. Math to back my claim: Spoiler 10 arc seconds a year. (From Wikipedia.) 10 x 6,000 = 60,000/60 (Change to arc minutes) = 1,000/60 (Change to degrees) =16.66666666666...... Did I work that right?

I won't check it, seems correct :-) But 16,7 is enough to change any constellation (if it was part), it would switch sides in Orion and leave the smaller ones. And that was only during 6000 years (wave hand) :-) Other stars moved as well, though far less. Nevertheless the sky looked slightly different 6000y ago, and you wouldn't recognize it in the ice age 50.000y ago. My subject is prehistory. If some talks about "thousands of years" without a precise date my brain switches to stone age archeology mode :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I work that right? You are right as far my math works in your calculations. But don't forget that constalations are some stars that do not belong physikaly together. And if you add all stars in a costelation than they move realy far to each other. Vektors and real distance play a great role too.

A rocket engine is a member of the jets just as turbojet, ramjet, pulse and all the others of that great family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Baron Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) A video of a private (!) test of a road barrier against terrorist attacks. It worked. The driver was badly wounded, they do not mention what exactly. The (german) comments are what they sound like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=16&v=DVRo2S60eIg Now we know why crash test cars are drawn by a cable.
