Paragone, do astronomy w Curiosity Mars rover discovers largest organic molecules ever seen on Red Planet

Alkanes, from the possible breakdown of fatty-acids, in distant past…

To me, the question then becomes … is there any nonbiological-method for Mars to have produced those molecules?

IF so, THEN … probably that’s how they got there…

but without knowing the answer to that question…

it isn’t decided, is it?

    I think you answered your own question.

    Rubisco, do astronomy w Big, doomed satellite seen from space as it tumbles towards a fiery reentry on Feb. 21 (photos)

    In an update posted on Sunday (Feb. 18), ESA said that the rentry ERS-2 is expected to take place on Wednesday (Feb. 21) at 10:19 a.m. ET (1519 GMT), plus or minus around 19 hours. This uncertainty is due to the “influence of unpredictable solar activity, which affects the density of Earth’s atmosphere” and can therefore change how much drag pulls on the satellite on its way down, ESA wrote.

    Plus or minus 19hrs due to the sun’s effect on the density of the atmosphere. Mind blown.

    Ah, SOFIA. I miss her.

    kalkulat, do astronomy w What would happen if you moved at the speed of light?

    ‘Speed of light’ compared to what? is what you need to worry about. Most things in the universe won’t be moving at the speed of light compared to you (or whatever you’re inside of), and when you run into them, you won’t last for long.

    That's the neat part of the speed of light. It's the speed of light for every reference frame, no matter who is looking at you or from where.

    If you’re zooming past the Earth at the speed of light headed straight at the Moon, you’ve got about 1 second to enjoy that before you make a very, VERY large crater.

    If you change course and head straight at a frozen tardigrade, it will make a VERY large crater in you.

    To actually reach the speed of light you'd be massless, so the only damage, would be from momentum transfer, at which point your particles would be reflected or absorbed like light.

    But that aside, mostly I was referring to your statement:

    'Speed of Light' compared to what?

    Which is really not a concern. It's the speed of light for everyone with respect to everything, or it isn't the speed of light. Like, two beams of light going in opposite directions don't see the other light beam going at 2x the speed of light, just at the speed of light with lots of time dialation.

    You already knew the answer to ‘What would happen if you moved at the speed of light’ was was “To actually reach the speed of light you’d be massless.” No shit. The question was already massless.

    Seems better suited for !space or !NASA. Cool project though.

    cyberpunk007, do astronomy w ISS astronaut controls Bert the dog-like robot on Earth during simulated Mars mission

    They say he can explore small caves, but wouldn’t this little guy be solar charged and they could lose him if he doesn’t have enough juice to get back to the surface?

    What the hell is the blue thing going on in the background. That thing looks way cooler.

    I’m more interested in the magical appearance of four states in “southeast” Canada than yet another solar eclipse.

    Did someone forget to vet the AI’s output?

    Equipped with functioning instruments and still transmitting data, New Horizons will provide scientists valuable insight into the edge of our local solar system, helping us understand the transition zone between solar and interstellar environments.

    @HurlingDurling@lemmy.world avatar

    Maybe I missed this on the article but if somehow a human is moving at 186,000 miles per second they would also escape earth’s gravitational pull (and probabbly the sun’s as well) and within a second find themselves just over halfway to the moon and crashing into it a couple of second or two later with enough force for the impact to be seen with the naked eye from earth.
