As I said in the youtube thread where I put it there, I still have a funny feeling that it might be fake or whatever.
Just something like this has been cought on tape and it didn't make world wide news. Although last few days it's the bankok airport warzone and now mombay under siege, but still it's a nice capture on more than 1 different p.o.v on cams and nothing going around about it,yesterday nothing on nasa website, haven't check today yet though.
Anyways it looks awesome, good thing it disintegrated right before impact.
it's not fake, it was on a national news broadcast and has dozens if not hundreds of eyewitnesses
:lol:
I guess then it was in canada and people went "meh"
No, they went "eh."
Thank you , I'll be here all week.
Space thread, eh? Sounds like a perfect place for this question...
So, this crazy guy was in my store the other day and ranted to me for around a half-hour about the government keeping secrets, everyone dying and fuel cells. One thing he mentioned that I hadn't heard before was about the second Mars mission where we actually found water. He attributed it to ALL of the planets melting, and that we only found water this time because it had melted since last. He claims something about a second sun, paired with ours, that comes around every 60,000 years or somesuch. Any credence to this or something similar?
Think I heard something in that direction before when someone was talking about the big event that will be happening (according to them) in 2012.
A sure-fire way to make my eyes glaze over:
Mention space, government, and conspiracy in the same paragraph.
Yes.
Also, if it's part of that 2012 horseshit I KNOW this guys full of it.
I bet it was that god damn demon spawning, free mason loving tool of the devil the LHC that brought that moon rock down!!! ITS A GIANT MAGNET TO ENTICE A SEVERE METEOR SHOWER TO WIPE OUT HUMANITY PEOPLE
The ice caps on Mars have been "shrinking" a little bit, as well as some of the ice moons of Jupiter. This is one of the claims Astronomers and scientists have made against Global Warming. How can SUV emissions be effecting other planets?Quote:

astronomers/geologists have found fragments of the meteor strewn around a small area west of edmonton, so that's pretty cool

For those easily bored, check out 4:00-5:00, which has some nice contrail effects, the camera pointing straight at the sun, and even a shot of the launch plume.

Looks like they keep finding Jupiter or larger size planets orbiting other stars. Even going so far as getting an actual image. *Attachment below as the image is way too high res to put in this thread, and I don't want to resize the fucker and ruin it.
This is a big deal as far as the search for Earth like planets go because Scientists for years have attributed the earth's luck of not being pulverized into a vast wasteland desert in the last 4 billion years being because we have Jupiter at our back. Starting to realize that unformed pre stars like Jupiter are common throughout the Galaxy is a big step in the right direction for finding bluer planets on the interior.

Turns out the meteor that started this thread actually hit the ground. Thats big time stuff since even ones that get that close generally don't.

Also some of you might not know about Venus, Jupiter, and the moon being pretty much aligned and very, very, bright right now.
So here is a photo for you.

Nice pics. That meteor, good thing it didn't make impact, that vid would have looked different then.
Here's another article about the discovery of a new star system (HR8799), with as YAWA said more jupiter or larger size planets in it.
Quote:
The first-ever pictures of planets outside our solar system were released today in two studies.
Using the latest techniques in space technology, astronomers at NASA and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used direct-imaging techniques to capture pictures of four newly discovered planets orbiting stars outside our solar system.
"After all these years, it's amazing to have a picture showing not one but three planets," said physicist Bruce Macintosh of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California.
"The discovery of the HR 8799 system is a crucial step on the road to the ultimate detection of another Earth," he said.
None of the planets is remotely habitable, scientists said.
Both sets of research findings were published Thursday in Science Express, a journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
A team of American and British astronomers and physicists, using the Gemini North and Keck telescopes on the Mauna Kea mountaintop in Hawaii, observed host star HR8799 to find three of the new planets.
Scientists estimate that HR8799, roughly 1.5 times the size of the sun, is 130 light years from Earth in the constellation of Pegasus. The individual planets in this planetary family are estimated to be seven to 10 times the mass of Jupiter.
Astronomers say the star is too faint to detect with the human eye, but observers could probably see it through binoculars or small telescopes.
"This discovery is the first time we have directly imaged a family of planets around a normal star outside of our solar system," said Christian Marois, the lead astronomer in the Lawrence Livermore lab study.
About the same time, NASA astronomers using the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope surprised the space community by locating a fourth planet.
NASA's newly discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, is estimated to be roughly three times Jupiter's mass and 10.7 billion miles from its host star, Fomalhaut. NASA's images show Fomalhaut b orbiting the bright southern star Fomalhaut, which is said to be 16 times brighter than our sun and 25 light years away in the constellation Piscis Australis (Southern Fish).
"Our Hubble observations were incredibly demanding. Fomalhaut b is 1 billion times fainter than the star," Hubble astronomer Paul Kalas said. "We began this program in 2001, and our persistence finally paid off."
Previous planet-hunting efforts have relied on the traditional Doppler, or "wobble," technique, which works by measuring the gravitational influence a planet exerts on its host, or parent, star. By studying these gravitational "tug-of-wars," astronomers have been able to study a star's velocity or brightness to infer the presence of a planet. iReport.com: Are you an aspiring astronomer? Share your photos of space
To determine whether the faint objects orbiting HF8799 were indeed planets and not other stars, astronomers studying the three newly discovered planets (HF8799b, HF8799c and HF8799d) compared images from studies conducted in different years.
In all the documented pictures, the three objects were found to be orbiting in a counter-clockwise direction around HF8799, proving that they were planets and not just background objects coincidentally aligned in the image.
According to the the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia, there have been 322 planets found outside our solar system. The latest findings bring that total to 326.
The extrasolar planets found have mostly been gaseous in their composition. Both studies indicate that direct-imaging techniques can only aid our efforts in one day finding an Earth-like planet.
Very cool. Thx!Quote:

Not sure think they found one or two similar like our planet meaning size and distance, but all gas. Doubt i'll find that article now iirc this was announced last year or 2 years ago.
The red "planets" photo has been my desktop at work for about a week now.

They did actually. Not photographed the way these ones have been though. Here's the wiki article...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_581_cQuote:

In other words this whole debate about if there is life on other planets will most likely end with a bizarre, fuzzy little picture from another planet like this...

Also discoveries like this are making it more and more likely as well.

A sugar molecule essential to life as we know it has been found in the far reaches of the Milky Way, scientists report. Astronomers working with the IRAM radio dish array in France report the presence of glycolaldehyde—a simple sugar found in RNA—in a region of our galaxy known to churn out stars. The molecule appears to have formed with all of the other stuff that makes up planets, suggesting that many other worlds are seeded with some of life’s ingredients right from birth [ScienceNOW Daily News].
Glycoladehyde is a building block of ribose, a component of RNA. Many scientists believe RNA preceded DNA in vesting the earliest forms of life with reproductive capabilities; thus the finding of glycoladehyde has particular significance for those searching for extraterrestrial life. The astronomers detected radio and microwave signatures of glycolaldehyde within the core of what appears to be a coalescing disk of dust and gas in a star-forming region called G31.41+0.31, about 26,000 light-years away. The sugar molecule can apparently form in a simple reaction between carbon monoxide molecules and dust grains [ScienceNOW Daily News]. The astronomers believe the molecules they see are a few hundred thousand years old.
Previously, the molecule had been observed in the Milky Way, but only near the center of the galaxy, where intense radiation makes the presence of life less fathomable. But the region where the scientists have now found the molecule is far from the galactic center and its harsh conditions, which means that any biological processes that do start up may have a chance to evolve into full-fledged life. “The discovery of an organic sugar molecule in a star forming region of space is very exciting and will provide incredibly useful information in our search for alien life,” said Keith Mason of England’s Science and Technology Facilities Council [Wired Science]. Researchers also say the molecule was found in abundant quantities in the region, leading some scientists to believe it could exist in other star-forming areas.
The new research will be published in Astrophysical Journal Letters and will boost the search for more complex molecules outside the center of the galaxy. “The search for prebiotic molecules in star-forming regions is still in the fledgling stages but the door is open now,” says co-author Roberto Neri. “I believe that many more of these molecules will show up in the near future,” he adds [BBC News].

Astronomy not being my thing, and not knowing any more about it than what was mentioned here, what exactly are we looking at Yawa in the big red photo you posted.
They keep finding more and more of a sort of pattern in galaxies that looks a lot like us, Jupiter is like a big body guard for us, as it catches a lot of big meteors that might have hit earth if it wasn't there. So finding this Jupiter like planets is a good lets say hint that a galaxy like ours is out there which of course means chances to find a planet similar like ours gets bigger by the day.
The pic yawa post is one of them that has been recently discovered I think not even 3 months ago. And it's a very good pic as they have used a new technology to find it.

We have heard them before, but never seen them. The two dots you are seeing are two Jupiter class (but actually much larger in size) planets orbiting the star. The reason that is wonderful news is stated above a few times, but to sum it up, is because you basically can't hope for a stable earth like planet without some planetary body guards to protect it. What we have been finding out for some time now is that those body guards are much more common than originally thought.
So to sum up, what you are looking at is the first picture ever taken of planets orbiting another star.
*Edit, there was one taken before this, however we have not been able to confirm that what we are seeing in that photo are planets so this is the first CONFIRMED photo I believe.
Here in Holland NGC is having space week, started today, they started with; Journey to the edge of the Universe.
I must say I was kinda blown away by a lot of things they have presented in the show. Heck I even learn a thing or 2. For example I always thought the black hole was the most powerful and destructive force in the universe, well this show proved to me I was wrong. It's something called Quasar. And it's massive ...really massive. It's like a pissed off big brother of a black hole and according to this show, it's the most powerful entity or whatever you want to label it in the universe.
One thing this show also does is really.... really give you an idea how vast, how massive, how huge everything out there is. I think I was around +40 mins in the show going millions and millions of km/mph and one point we even started to talk about lightyears of course and jumping around passing thousands and thousands of solar systems only to have the announcer say "we are still about halfway to the edge of our galaxy" (The Milky way) and at that part we've already talked about black holes, red dwarfs, white dwarfs, bigger and smaller suns than ours, nebulous and so on...and all were still in our galaxy.
If you haven't seen this show yet. Start here It's divided in 12 parts on youtube, maybe with a bit of search on a torrent site you might get it as one show.
It's worth the effort and well... just enjoy it.

First, here's an astounding image of Demios taken in High Res from the Hirse camera on the MRO. Just wanted to show it because the clarity caught my eye.
Second, and far more importantly, the Kepler mission was launched on March 6th, marking the date we began in earnest to search for habitable earth-like planets outside of our solar system.
Mission details are here.
http://kepler.nasa.gov/
This is a huge step for us. Huge. The Kepler is the first in a series of missions that will end with us trying to visually detect life on any of those planets we find within the next 20 years.
Anyway that's all I got for now.
raaaaaad
I wish I could do a Dr Manhattan and teleport to other planets
Not trying to cause a ruckus. I find space exploration interesting, but whats the point of trying to find if life exists on other planets?
We'll never be able to visit them. Bitches are light years away. I just think its a bit futile.
There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people.
"We're earthlings. Let's blow up Earth things."
1. Well honestly, we don't know how far we can push technology down the road, so that's a bit shortsighted. The light barrier may be a consistent thing, but considering the attempt to discover Tachyons, and there are ways to bend those rules without breaking them, I wouldn't jump to such a conclusion just yet.Quote:

I've always looked at it as, if answering the question is even remotely possible, then we should at least give it a shot.
I'd say if we have nothing better to do than sit on our rock and watch the solar system collapse since we'll never achieve light speed, then we may as well look up and try to find out as much as we can about the universe. We evolved the brains to have the ability to comprehend it, we may as well use them.
it's all pretty useless, we only have 3.75 years left
I don't deny that it's highly unlikely we'll ever be able to visit anything, but if we do find something, we can prepare to defend ourselves by researching the technology required to go there and then build a massive space fleet to go exterminate/sublimate them.Quote:

NASA just released some pretty amazing footage of their release from the Hubble. It seems fairly routine at first but when you see them drifting away from it you get a fantastic glimpse out the window of the Earth. It's really amazing the distances and coordination involved in some of these missions, and it's amazing to think that there are people working in our society right now who get to view sights like this on a fairly routine basis.
Watch it in High Quality if you can.

but can't show up an up close picture of the landers
FUCK THIS MAN
nd you can see where the lunar surface was disturbed by the astronauts bootprints!
yeah, im sure
*edit - To be fair, he is... 30% kidding.
At least I think he is.
Why did this double post when I edited?
You know who landed on the Moon? The Nazis.
Those denials are such bullshit. A galaxy 30 million light years away is likely 100 million light years across. In galaxy scale photos of deep space, the things that look like stars, aren't. They are other galaxies. That's the scale we are dealing with.
When you are talking about photographing the moon's surface, you get into an issue of lighting, speed, orbit, atmospheric distortion (if you are doing it from Earth) and resolution. Until we put a rover on the moon you won't be getting many images of quality from it of that scale.
So for his sake, I hope he's 100% joking.
The photos however clearly show something artificial, about 10 feet tall, giving off an unnaturally straight shadow, at all the sites where we claimed we landed. God I hate moon hoax believers.
VAN ALLEN RADIATION BELTS!
The hoax guys will never believe it. They refuse to believe that humanity could achieve something like sticking people on a rocket and firing them off into space, then using math to land on the moon and bring them home.
This despite the fact that humanity had already split the atom some 25 years before hand.
Oh and the flag won't be there. They planted it too close to the launch site. It was destroyed when they took off on their way home. Later landings planted one farther away, if I recall.
I used to know a guy into out of body experiences that talked a lot about that crap. About the second sun and blah blahQuote:

The fact of the matter is ... no telescope on Earth or in space has that kind of resolving power. "You can calculate this," astronomer Phil Plait, author of the award-winning blog Bad Astronomy and president of the James Randi Educational Foundation, said. "Even with the biggest telescope on Earth, the smallest thing you can see on the surface of moon is something bigger than a house."
I guess that is fact. Or at least the history channel says so. I've seen three shows on their saying that all the old temples, all around the world, are all aligned to the same year star chart. And I vaguely remember something about if you use the system for calculating that, by the method of the Aztecs, or whatever, time just ended around 2012.Quote:

Like someone smarter than me once said, finding out that we're not alone or that we are completely alone, either discovery is pretty mindblowing.

I was watching the Science Channel yesterday and there was a program talking about that event where the comet hit Jupiter. And the narrator mentioned that was the first time in human history that we observed something crashing into a planet. There was also a scientist that is 100% sure that something is going to crash into earth someday and he says you don't believe him look at the moon. And that got me thinking that if the comet crash was in the first time in human history that humans observed cosmic objects crashing into something and the moon is covered in craters that humans didn't see it or record it? Then it also got me thinking about the asteroid belt. They program mentioned that it's just left over from when the planets were created. What if it's not? What if there was a planet that was between Mars and Jupiter that got destroyed and it's the left overs of that? What if that's when the moon got bombarded and when the meteor smashed into the earth and eradicated the dinosaurs.Quote:
