SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily) | |
zacksavage  User ID: 5072068  United States10/09/2013 05:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ISON UPDATE-Speaking of comets, some astronomers are now predicting that ISON will survive perihelion and not disintegrate. I hope they're right because naked-eye comets are fairly rare sights. I think that ISON's survival may be dependent on the sun's level of activity that day....Sol's known to be moody around comets. Quoting: Hugh M Eye But, but,....but,...the "scientists" have told me the it was disintegrating Hugh. Do you get out much to seen any of this stuff in the open night air??? The comets rock!!!

| Hugh M Eye User ID: 47869419 United States10/09/2013 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Plastic in Space??? Cassini makes first ever discovery of plastic beyond Earth...on Saturn's great moon Titan. "PASADENA, Calif. - NASA's Cassini spacecraft has detected propylene, a chemical used to make food-storage containers, car bumpers and other consumer products, on Saturn's moon Titan. This is the first definitive detection of the plastic ingredient on any moon or planet, other than Earth. A small amount of propylene was identified in Titan's lower atmosphere by Cassini's composite infrared spectrometer (CIRS). This instrument measures the infrared light, or heat radiation, emitted from Saturn and its moons in much the same way our hands feel the warmth of a fire. Propylene is the first molecule to be discovered on Titan using CIRS. By isolating the same signal at various altitudes within the lower atmosphere, researchers identified the chemical with a high degree of confidence. Details are presented in a paper in the Sept. 30 edition of the Astrophysical Journal Letters. "This chemical is all around us in everyday life, strung together in long chains to form a plastic called polypropylene," said Conor Nixon, a planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and lead author of the paper. "That plastic container at the grocery store with the recycling code 5 on the bottom -- that's polypropylene." Previously, Voyager found propane, the heaviest member of the three-carbon family, and propyne, one of the lightest members. But the middle chemicals, one of which is propylene, were missing. As researchers continued to discover more and more chemicals in Titan's atmosphere using ground- and space-based instruments, propylene was one that remained elusive. It was finally found as a result of more detailed analysis of the CIRS data. JPL Press Release: [link to www.jpl.nasa.gov] Fascinating, Captain.....  |
