    Annular solar eclipse of 2023 wows skywatchers with spectacular 'ring of fire' (photos, video)

    What is the correct color temperature to use when photographing the eclipse ? Daylight is 6000K but I suspect when photographing the Sun it is higher. On my DSLR with solar filter (Hoya NSI ) the sun was white. Moon was black. Like a monochrome. Others have photographed the eclipse as yellow...

    Russian cosmonaut Anna Kikina will fly on SpaceX's Crew-5 mission to the International Space Station

    There is a serious contradiction in the space community. It is not only who pays for multiple countries flights but also the sharing of information and resources. We have the nationalist organizations and then the sharing organizations. In US we have Space Force ,NASA, Space X, and others, I...

    Light Speed and AI Travel

    Knowing where in space is as big of a challenge as getting there. We will never get there w human bodies and mechanical starships. It’s a long arduous task of small areas at a time. This is why we need to replace the human brain and body w Al and digital signals. Radio telescopes are faulty in...

    Light Speed and AI Travel

    Nothing faster than Light Speed. If human brain can be transferred to AI light signals you have no mass and can travel as fast as light. No ship is required and no faulty human physical body. This is also the gateway to immortality and therefore time limits do not apply. Think about It .. We...

    Hubble telescope captures stunning image of the star-forming Prawn Nebula

    I think the Nebula clouds of gas are actually plasma clouds. Plasma is considered the 4th state of matter and is different that just normal gas. It is ionized gas. Plasma is more organized than random gas and is more controlled.

    Hubble telescope team continues troubleshooting instrument glitch

    Glad to hear this .. the images and data from this incredible Telescope will in my mind remain as one of mankind’s greatest achievements.

    Hubble telescope captures stunning image of the star-forming Prawn Nebula

    Stunning indeed .. Would it be possible to publish some details on the photo imaging equipment and technology used by NASA et al ? All missions and equipment are interesting.

    Moon Water

    To Be Determined ! I don’t think they have real data on how much water on moon there is in any form (ice, liquid). Furthermore this Solid Oxygen boggles my mind and converting into breathing oxygen and drinkable water is further out.

    Orbital Cleanup

    What are your thoughts on orbital cleanup ? Besides prevention like not blowing up things .. I would suggest cleanup drones under an international effort. Recently ESA has announced this kind of project for 2025. It is for big objects and looks like a spider. Not an easy thing to design...

    Moon Water

    Some TBD ( to be determined ) water frozen in craters and not evaporated by Sun can exist on the moon. So can some subsurface liquid water. But realistically.. how much water is on the moon ?? But if the recent projection on solid Oxygen in underneath surface is anywhere near reality (8 billion...

    Why is Earth so Dense ?

    I was questioning why Earth is so dense and kinda see the formation of Moon and people to be a more off topic consideration. But nice write up. Satellite creation of Gas planets with Rocky Moons is interesting and I don’t believe in Theia Bakers Dozen Not so sure on existence of Theia anyway.

    Why is Earth so Dense ?

    Hello .. Somewhat Plausible Theory but hard to relate to the creation of many other moons around other planets in our solar system (over 200 and none for Mercury and Venus… the planets which are closest to Earth density).

    Why is Earth so Dense ?

    Rod .. TY for answer.. but it’s going to take me some time to fully understand your first response. The second response reminds me of Sagan’s Star Stuff which is probably better or more palatable than just saying we are the results of cosmic gas. However it seems odd that the planet with the...

    Why is Earth so Dense ?

    Why is Earth so dense in our solar system ? Logic would make Mercury most dense.

    Question What are the most frustrating things about weightlessness?

    I think it would be frustrating and disgusting to have diarrhea in weightless space. Vomiting is also bad. Imagine if in a Helmet space walking.
