shortwavesurfer, 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

    I think you answered your own question.

    What are the chances of that?

    huskypenguin,

    It happens every spring, so chances are high.

    If it’s a million to one, it’s bound to happen. That’s just common sense

    Hobbes_Dent,

    Duh. It wouldn’t be such a common saying if it wasn’t how to make it work.

    ColeSloth, w NASA officially greenlights $3.35 billion mission to Saturn’s moon Titan

    Negative 290f. Little past jacket weather. Will they have to stick a radioactive isotope in the thing to keep the batteries warm, I guess? Seems like a good and hard mission, right there. I want a picture of weatherproof methane aliens, damn it.

    Fosheze,

    Odds are they’re using an RTG to power it anyways. Titan actually has a much thicker atmosphere than even earth and it’s much farther away from the sun as well so solar isn’t going to be a good option to power anything they send down.

    ColeSloth, (edited )

    RTG would need batteries to be getting charged to meet power demands of flight, but I guess that should take care of the batteries being kept warm enough.

    Send Elon.

    I_Has_A_Hat,

    Sounds like you’re fed up with Elon and his BS, but I’d like you to take a moment and look around.

    This article does not mention Elon. No one in this thread has mentioned Elon, except you. You have linked Elon to this solely because it deals with space, but you are the one propagating that link. You are the one keeping him in the conversation. Maybe, I don’t know, stop fucking talking about him?

    pissedatyall,

    I only mentioned him in the hope that we could jettison his ass once and for all.

    But you’re indeed right. Peace out.

    I bet they can’t. I’m sure they’ll get a lot of venture capital before they fail though.

    Sunsethughes, w After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.

    Dude! I saw the eclipse from Bouctouche and my God it was incredible. Please let us know what you thought!!

    essteeyou, w After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.

    Hope you got a good view!

    kandoh, w After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.

    I’m going to skip it. I don’t want to risk buying an counterfeit eclipse glasses and blinding myself 😬

    Kichae,

    You don’t need glasses during totality, if you happen to be in its path. If you’re not, actully looking at the sun is the least interesting part of a pretty eh event, anyway.

    Bahalex,

    I was camping for the last eclipse. Didn’t make it north enough for totality, but fairly close. Seeing the little wedge of sun filtered and projected hundreds of times through the trees was pretty awesome- and in a way more interesting than looking at directly with the special glasses.

    Even if you don’t look up , try to go out and enjoy it.

    Kichae,

    That’s how I viewed 2017! Went outside on my lunch break to watch the bananas on the sidewalk while everyone around me went about seemingly totally unaware of what was going on right above and below them

    BoringHusband, w I want to be among those who deeply thoroughly understand & can accurately predict the path of future eclipses because this is amazing.

    Math.

    LemmyKnowsBest,

    Yesss. I waaaaant it in my mind and in my souuuuuul.

    Sprawlie,

    Fun Fact:

    They discovered Neptune by math. They studied the orbit of Uranus and noticed anomalies in the mavity, so they postulated there must be another planet. Using math, calculated it’s path, aimed their telescopes, and voila, Neptune.

    I am terrible at math, so I can’t explain how it works. But it’s all about physics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics is probably a good start.

    @LimpRimble@lemmy.ca avatar

    Did I miss something? I couldn’t see where they said “will soon” and what that means.

    Muscar,

    “In early March, NASA announced that construction and testing of the three CADRE rovers was complete and the trio was ready for integration with Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C lander, which will deliver the mini explorers to the lunar surface later this year or early next year as part of the company’s third lunar lander mission, IM-3.”

    At the end of the article. And here’s the website for the project with more info: www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/cadre
