[quote:ookie:MV8xMTM1MzAxXzE4Mjc1MDUxXzY5REE1RUUw] [quote:Anonymous Coward 868423] mammoths, flash frozen, is evidence of localized atmospheric stripping in earths past. the mammoths were exposed to space for a few seconds. [/quote] It takes quite a bit more than a few seconds to flash freeze a woolly mammoth. It would take hours. They had thick fur, skin and fat. They were built to survive cold temps. I doubt they would notice temps of -250 for a few seconds. [/quote]

Dear Friends:
Just read this story on National Geographic about the discovery of a planet that is flying so close to its host that it strips its atmosphere. Researchers on Planet X claim it is a fly-by and also that it is comet-like, similarly to this planet.
If Planet X is real (which I cannot confirm) this would be something to consider i.e. atmospheric stripping of our planet .
