I didn't know where else to post this. Seems my go-to late night drunk snack from the mid-1980's has a touch of the science. friendly reminder in times of uncertainty and misinformation: anecdotes are not data. (good) data is carefully measured and collected information based on a range of subject-dependent factors, including, but not limited to, controlled variables, meta-analysis, and randomization— Steak-umm (@steak_umm) April 7, 2020
Perhaps you should send this to the orange trumpet. Nah, it’d take too long for his daughter to translate.

Can I go now? Astronomers Find a Beautiful Six-Planet System in Almost Perfect Orbital Harmony MICHELLE STARR 20 APRIL 2020 By now, we have discovered hundreds of stars with multiple planets orbiting them scattered throughout the galaxy. Each one is unique, but a system orbiting the star HD 158259, 88 light-years away, is truly special. https://www.sciencealert.com/this-amazing-six-planet-system-is-in-almost-perfect-orbital-harmony/amp and by the way, 88 light years is about 530 million miles. Give or take a yard or so, at warp factor 9 you’re looking at around 266 (earth) years
you do know, of course, that we will never be able to tag this discovery as evidence of anything, other than that there are solar systems elsewhere, which we already knew. like 2500+... 88 light years. The End
Yeah but at Warp Factor 9 that’s far less than a year. You wouldn’t have to mess with cryogenics. Cryogenics scares me as much as being beamed aboard and coming out with body parts in the wrong place. You have to think logically.
Logically...yeah, right. I'm just a tiny bit skeptical about Star Wars "light speed", so warp factor 9, 830x the SoL seems...um...not supported by science.
don't be a jerk this from Wiki In the episode Bloodlines from the series Star Trek: The Next Generation, Riker claims that the Enterprise would need around 20 minutes for a 300 billion kilometer flight at warp 9. Thus warp 9 corresponds to a speed of 900 billion kilometers per hour (= 250 million kilometers per second) or about 830 times the speed of light. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive
You are so silly. Believing a 45 year old guy who can’t get promoted. In the episode "Where No One Has Gone Before" the Enterprise-D was shown to exceed warp 10, traveling 2.7 million light years from their home galaxy in a matter of minutes (though the ship's extreme velocity was due to the influence of an alien being and could not be achieved by starship engines).
I think I reached that one night in my Mustang in high school. I might have also been parked and it just seemed to be moving that fast.

Including a fuzzy video. After the shitty ad. The US successfully tested a laser weapon that can destroy aircraft mid-flight https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/22/asia/us-navy-lwsd-laser-intl-hnk-scli/index.html
I had nothing better to do, so I went back and read much of the first dozen pages of this particular thread, and came upon a series of posts having to do with the origins of Life. I challenge you, if you believe that abiogenesis is a likely explanation for what we now observe, to watch and listen to James Tour's video. Tour is a world renowned chemist and a professor at Rice University. His credentials are unquestioned.
I doubt “snapped” is a word I’d use there. That’s prolly quite a long exposure. Hubble just snapped one of its greatest images ever The spiral pattern shown by the galaxy in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is striking because of its delicate, feathery nature. Image source: NASA/ESA https://bgr.com/2020/07/03/hubble-galaxy-photo-feathered/amp/
It’s perfect that they call the telescope “Hubble”. Before Edwin Hubble these massive galaxies were just called ‘fuzzy stars’
Just stunning. I can't believe you can get these results with equipment that is available to the regular person for around $1000 Not mine - credit to Steven Van Patten (@StarPddler) 1278071648130699264 is not a valid tweet id
Nice shots. I remember a neighbour showing me Saturn for the first time. I was really impressed. Then later I had a 5 inch Celestron and sat in the yard nearly all night to watch one of Jupiter’s moons in transit, crossing the red eye!
