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

slazer2au,

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

This is what machine learning is useful for. Not to try to convince you that oranges are active and potatoes are passive, or to give you a thumbs up with 7~8 fingers. But to detect patterns and allow automation of repetitive tasks.

ground control to major tom, your circuits dead, there's something wrong, can you hear me major tom

XTL,

We can’t really say that we’re

Surprised

It’s a shame

There’s always something that gets compromised

alyqz, w Mystery object waits nearly an hour between radio bursts

So maybe a binary system causing the signal to only periodically wobble into earth’s path wile missing for mist of it?

No problem, just give them the money. 😀 👍

That title is click bait

slazer2au, w The sun's magnetic field is about to flip. Here's what to expect.

This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle.

How does it affect us?

It doesn’t.

cynar,

We get a maxima in solar storm activity. This can cause solar flares that can knock out satellites. They can even mess with power transmission lines, if they hit hard enough.

So it won’t affect you, if you don’t use power, or data via satellite.

Etterra,

Yeah, nothing cool ever dooms us all.

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

KISSmyOSFeddit, (edited ) w Planet Nine: Is the search for this elusive world nearly over?

BAH GOD IT’S PLUTO WITH A STEEL CHAIR!
HE’S CLEARING HIS ORBIT!

No.

Ghyste,

Betterige is correct.

original_reader, (edited ) w Planet Nine: Is the search for this elusive world nearly over?

What are we going to name it when it is found?

I trust we really don’t want “Planet Nine” (if we do, we should rename Earth to “Planet 3”), let alone “Planet X”. Any better ideas?

HubertManne,

pluto was called planet X until it was discovered

KISSmyOSFeddit,

Let’s call this one Planet Twitter, just to annoy Elon.

If Mike Brown finds it, he’ll jump all over naming it, and I’m sure that’s part of his motivation for hunting it so doggedly. He’s like that.

Daxtron2,

It will likely be a Greek or Roman name in keeping with tradition. The IAU generally let’s the person/group that discovers have an influence in the decision but they’re the final say on the name.

lvxferre,
@lvxferre@mander.xyz avatar

With two exceptions*, the names are from Roman mythology. So I’d expect the new planet to get a definitive name from the same template. (Please be Janus. It’s the gate of the solar system!)

*Uranus is from Greek mythology, with no good Latin equivalent. Terra is trickier; you could argue that it fits the template for Latin and the Romance languages, but most others simply use local words for soil, without a connection to the goddess. That is also called Tellus to add confusion.

YungOnions,

Tellus would be a cool name for a planet, imo.

lvxferre,
@lvxferre@mander.xyz avatar

It would, indeed. I wouldn’t mind if it was the scientific/“proper” name for Earth.

Murdoc,

I would; it’s too close to Telus (but pronounced the same), a terrible phone company where I live.

lvxferre,
@lvxferre@mander.xyz avatar

How do you pronounce the company name? For reference, Latin “Tellus” would be /tɛllu:s/; the nearest English equivalent would be “TELL loos”, I guess.

Murdoc,

Tell-us, so more like it looks I guess.

collapse_already,

I think they should call it Nibiru to feed the conspiracy theories.

I had a roomate ten years ago who seriously believed in all that crap. Lizard people from the edge of the solar system here to claim our gold.

neurospice, w Voyager 1 is fully back online months after it stopped making sense.

Incredible! Can’t believe how long it’s been functioning for and how many obstacles it’s overcome. Truly a testament of human engineering
