    Kuiper Belt - NEW - Agreed Terms - April 2022

    Wow! Thanks for posting Cat! I see a black background on all the images to answer your question. Nonetheless I don't think it matters. The one you just posted shows up fine in Imgur when I click on it. I could see the distinctions between plutinos and cubewanos and such. Thanks again!

    Kuiper Belt - NEW - Agreed Terms - April 2022

    Thanks for telling me where Sedna is on that other plot. That helps. I noticed that the new plot doesn't have it on there...funny. anyway I'll like the post and all of that. Was anyone else aware that Sedna was making its way back to within 60 years of its perihelion? I've been wondering if...

    Exoplanet Stats

    Oh .I didn't know Helio downloaded the exoplqnet data then crunched it with Excel ...now I understand a little better the process of how he put those spreadsheets together. Sounds like he is manually typing on the books he reads to a catalog though so he is doing his own data entry too on that...

    The double-slit experiment: Is light a wave or a particle?

    I'm going to take a stab at this and somehow relate the dual wave-partucle phenomenon to quantum entanglement. So when the photons properties are measured its quantum state collapses to that of a particle, and the remainder of the entangled state of its being is still a wave and it still...

    Exoplanet Stats

    Cat- I haven't checked out the spreadsheet if that's what you're asking. I saw the screenshots of the vba excel spreadsheet and they look very professional. It seems you are also saying that the 5000 exoplanet was found? If so, yes of course it should be named after Helio. I don't see why...

    'Star Trek: Discovery' finishes Season 4 with a disappointing finale. Again.

    Captain Burnham needs contrast...the show used to have another actor who could support her or complement her but now it's so focused on her and she's just not meant to carry the show on her back. I like her and love the first three easons but the more they put cpt. Burnham under the microscope...

    Methuselah: The oldest star in the universe

    The "Methusela Star" is a field star which makes predicting its age difficult however I think the strangest thing is that it's supposedly so old but it's very close relatively speaking at approx 200 light years away. This seems very odd. My only rational explanation is that there is an...

    'Star Trek: Picard' season 2 episode 2 continues to enthrall with dark timeline (review)

    Good first episode for the 2nd season. Glad they brought back most the cast from season 1. Star Trek always has to introduce some threat to the galaxy or something. One of these days they just need to go out and explore. Just like we have scientists here working to study ancient artifacts...

    Could Mars ever have supported life? This NASA challenge wants your help to find out

    Ok. Thanks Helio. Perhaps it might be simpler than I was thinking but then the question would be what compounds to look for. Phosphines are the only ones I know of associated with life on other planets.

    SLS launch schedule???

    Thanks for alerting to this. Can you please post the link to the article from Monday? I can't find it and I searched all over the space.com site. Thanks in advance.
