Terwin Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 42 minutes ago, JoeSchmuckatelli said: Yeah - it's not like you can see it or anything. A distance from the star based 'measurement difference' in the magnetometer or a putative cosmic ray detector would be simple enough... But frankly beyond the interest of most players. Sounds like the 'deep space' biome. Not many would care about what demarks the difference, but Deep Space is a biome I would expect in KSP2 between the star systems.

Every light year, add a data point. There is only X amount of data to be acquired between any two stars, although as stars drift the starlanes would move… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve9728 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Remember the conjecture that the middle ear evolved from the gills of fish?

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Black Hole orbiting star found: Earth's 'black hole police' discover gravitational singularity near Milky Way | Science & Tech News | Sky News It is at least nine times the mass of our own Sun and orbits a hot, blue star weighing 25 times the Sun's mass. "For more than two years now, we have been looking for such black-hole-binary systems," added co-author Julia Bodensteiner, a research fellow at ESO in Germany. "I was very excited when I heard about VFTS 243, which in my opinion is the most convincing candidate reported to date." "The star that formed the black hole in VFTS 243 appears to have collapsed entirely, with no sign of a previous explosion," explained Dr Shenar. "Evidence for this 'direct-collapse' scenario has been emerging recently, but our study arguably provides one of the most direct indications. This has enormous implications for the origin of black-hole mergers in the cosmos." The (near-)circular orbit and kinematics of VFTS 243 imply that the collapse of the progenitor into a black hole was associated with little or no ejected material or black-hole kick. Identifying such unique binaries substantially impacts the predicted rates of gravitational-wave detections and properties of core-collapse supernovae across the cosmos.

steve9728 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Bad news, or worst news: The Chinese paddlefish, one of world's largest fish, has gone extinct There is a documentary about a national animal protection unit that has been set up in a not insignificant area of the Yangtze River basin to conserve and breed these endangered freshwater fish. They did try to breed the Chinese paddlefish here. But unfortunately, this effort failed due to the low survival rate of the fish's low fertility. Fortunately, however, the Yangtze River endangered fish such as the Yangtze swordfish and porpoise that they tried to save here were gradually bred and gradually released back into the Yangtze River.

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 News Flash Dark Matter STILL NOT DETECTED!!! A new dark matter experiment quashed earlier hints of new particles | Science News Quote Potential hints of weird new particles in a dark matter detector have evaporated with new data In the new analysis, which uses about 97 days of data, XENONnT spotted as many electron recoils as expected due to known particle interactions, the researchers also reported in a paper posted on the experiment’s website. Scientists don’t know what caused the extra detections in the previous experiment, but it’s possible it was merely a statistical fluke, Lang says. Or it may have been due to small amounts of tritium — hydrogen atoms with two neutrons in their nuclei — in the detector. Unknown at this time whether this is a new article about the last News Flash - or an article that the last News Flash failure to detect dark matter is confirmed by a new lack of detection...

Pixophir Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Nasa seeks proposals for the construction of a "starshade" that can help blending out a distant (tens of ly) star to enable upcoming earth based 30m telescopes with new adaptive optics to image close planets around the star. It is too early to rejoice, though, right now there's no idea how such a thing could be really constructed and brought into space. Hence the call for proposals. https://grabcad.com/challenges/nasa-challenge-ultralight-starshade-structural-design https://microdevices.jpl.nasa.gov/capabilities/optical-components/starshade/ There may even be a (currently hypothetical) chance to support an own 6m telescope in space with these shady doings. Resolution in combination with an E-ELT for instance would be ... would be ... really cool :-) https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/habex/mission/ Edited July 26, 2022 by Pixophir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
