Space Force Mut (OP) Senior Forum Moderator 06/20/2019 02:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good Job Astro...! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4332455 Were you able to shake that YouTube Heckler off your Ass? ? I was able to fight off the false copyright strikes so far, and I now label all my videos with a logo to try to prevent similar problems in the future. I worked at a civilian contractor / Machine-Shop a number of years back. Quoting: ACWe were selected to fabricate a Camera Mount for this extremely complicated compound lens device. They sent us one of the lenses and a copy of the drawings for it. It was one of the coolest lenses I have ever seen. Aperture was approx 10 inches, length was about 2 & 1/2 feet (estimate). It was intended to mount on a next generation CCD image intensifier gadget (Starlight Scope). [It's old technology these days.] NASA has the best engineers in the Nation, and possibly the best in the world! Which puts YOU right up there with those folks! Thanks! My work won't really be on the engineering side of things, but we all have to work together to make the mission a success! Last Edited by Astromut on 06/20/2019 02:03 PM |

Space Force Mut (OP) Senior Forum Moderator 06/20/2019 02:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So what is the latest on planet 9? Have NASA ever located it and was it the culprit for the perturbation (tugging) on the outer planets like Uranus and Neptune? Could it have caused the axial tilt of 98 degrees of Uranus? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75386015 Still thinking of more Q's :) Still hasn't been found. If it is, you'll know. There are competing theories to explain the clustering of extreme trans-neptunian objects' orbits that formed the basis for evidence in favor of Planet 9.

One larger body ejected was Venus, it hurled into the inner SS like a comet. It even had a huge tail like a comet (still has a very faint tail) and could have been responsible for the visions spoken of by ancient civilizations. What are your thoughts on it being the culprit for tales of a "fiery dragon" traveling in the heavens? Does NASA have any pertinent info about such talk? |

Space Force Mut (OP) Senior Forum Moderator 06/20/2019 02:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | hi astro Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44406330 ime a long time glper ac,and a keen astrophotographer,how hard is elon musks starlink project gonna hit us lowly amateurs, Depends on the location and time of year. In the video description you'll find a link to a website you can use to generate your own simulated sky charts counting how many Starlink satellites you can expect to have above your horizon at a given set of coordinates and time. or will someone in the software industry find a way to eradicate the streaks these sats will leave on a long exposure? Quoting: ACYour best bet is to use something like Kappa Sigma Clipping to remove the streaks with a large number of sub-exposures. Having a large number of sub exposures isn't always practical though and for it to be effective those subs need to span a good range of time as well. This shot of Atlantis in the museum looks like they let me in after hours to take a picture of it with no one else there: [link to live.staticflickr.com (secure)] In truth it was actually quite crowded that day. I did Kappa Sigma stacking to remove the crowd by taking dozens of exposures on a tripod over about 30 minutes or so of time. The crowd is constantly moving, so by stacking them with Kappa Sigma the only things that are retained are the things that don't move, ie, the orbiter and its surroundings.

^EyeSeeAll^ User ID: 34398756 United States 06/20/2019 02:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Congrats man. So... What are the objects that sit in position looking like a star or planet and then suddenly start shooting off at incredible speeds and making impossible right angle turns? Sometimes more than one will come out and they "intercept" one another and sort of zoom around the sky for a while. All I can say is they look exactly like a star or planet, can sit still in position, and then can take off and cross the entire horizon within seconds (yes I know space does weird shit with light and it's harder gauging speed/distance from just eyesight alone especially considering we're contrasting their speed and distance by the back drop of space.

And once it came out that I now had a badge? My entire reputation here would have been destroyed, anytime anyone ever posted any of my old videos they would claim I had been a shill all along and post proof that I hid my access from them.

Has it ever been answered how in the world those craters are so damn shallow? I mean look at Meteor Crater in AZ as an example, you would think that without an atmosphere to slow anything down that the moon would have damn near been split into with some of those hits yet there it is, tons of shallow craters as if it really were made of some super alien surface. maybe it really is a huge titanium hollow ball, it even rang like a bell for nearly an hour. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 75386015 United States 06/20/2019 02:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In all seriousness, can you explain how rockets and thrusters work in space without oxygen? I think most deniers are usually caught up in that one facet of space travel. The idea of fire and thrusters working in a vacuum can boggle the mind. The idea of having thrust from nothing to push against is a head scratcher for most. It seems like the one huge bugaboo for ever using rockets or any type of combustion engines for space travel, at least any kind of distance travel. |
