Aww that’s cute. Barnard’s star has kind of an interesting history of exoplanet claims that were sadly ruled out after further examination. Great to hear we finally have good evidence.

I’m digging the way the map shows Tasmania as part of the continental plate.

Is it on purpose or is it because of ocean depth?

The light blue part is shallow and when it’s underwater, they call it “continental shelf”.
Tasmania and mainland Australia are connected by the same, shared continental shelf.

What does this post even mean? Did you confuse astronomy with astrology?

Everytime I see this, I can’t help but giggle a little at that magnificent lump, just florpin’ on by, awkward as hell. I love our moon, so much.

Surely the absence of nine indicates our model of gravity is off. Combined with lack of Dark Matter, is Einstein wrong?

I hope the human race is destroyed before we have a chance to infect other planets.

Don’t worry we all will be long dead before that happens.

Dry like the Mojave but windy like Chicago.

shortwavesurfer, 6 miesięcy temu w Is This The best way to set up the internet on Mars?

You absolutely must replicate as much data as you can in server rooms there instead of having to pull it from Earth via laser link and you must launch some sort of relay satellite at a 45 degree angle or whatever so that it can maintain contact during solar conjunction.

I don’t think there are many black holes in Rome. But I suppose they really want to make sure.

Gotta say Astronomers being linked up through the internet is a powerful thing esp when we can combine our images
