nailbar, w 'Party atmosphere': Skygazers treated to another aurora show

All three days that we were having auroras here just now, it was raining. Now that’s it’s over, the clouds are gone again. Aargh!

Super cool photo, but does this technically count as astronomy? Isn’t astronomy “a camera on (usually) on earth, pointed up into space”, not the other way around?

threelonmusketeers,

Are you saying that observing the Earth should count as astronomy?

acockworkorange,

Technically correct. The best kind of correct.

The book Earth by David Brin is about one of these hitting the Earth

onlinepersona, w Dark Matter Black Holes Could Fly through the Solar System Once a Decade

Would a regular asteroid be able to wobble the earth as described in this article? Or is it just black holes that should do so?

I seem to remember reading that primordial black holes weren’t yet a proven phenomenon and I have trouble imagining them myself. Wouldn’t they have hawking radiation too which we would be able to detect?

This works here but maybe also in shitjustworks/c/spaceflight too. Or lemmy.world/c/space. Those are both pretty active space communities.

threelonmusketeers,

Instance agnostic links: !space and !spaceflight.

I can see why they no longer call it a planet, what’s the cutoff for asteroid size?

johannesvanderwhales,

It is still a dwarf planet. Basically when it hits hydrostatic equilibrium, i.e. when it’s round, it is considered a dwarf planet. More here

I’m genuinely unsure if you’re trolling or being serious. Poe’s Law, I guess.
