Hi guys.When I'm high at night, I love to watch moon/stars/...So I figured it would be nice to look at it with a telescope ...The problem is that I know absolutely nothing in astronomy !!!I need some advice for choosing a telescope not too expensive (Max budget: $200)>What can I expect to see with that?(I live in a small town without light pollution) 4 posts and 1 images omitted.

This would also work for manned missions. You'd have to start decelerating 50% of the way there, if they're doing both with lasers. But they'd probably just use combustion to decelerate, which would significantly reduce weight too. Since it's for stopping and not the initial thrust. So I think that might work.

Ojha made headlines in 2011 when he co-authored a study suggesting that liquid water flowed during the warmer months on Mars.>He said at the time that, by accident, he noticed irregular features in images taken for another study of gullies in Mars craters. Using a computer algorithm to monitor changes over time, he began to see "finger-like" features and streaks that strongly resembled water. They would appear during warmer seasons and die away during cooler seasons. He has conducted research ever since, to determine if it is definitely water. 20 posts and 1 images omitted.

The best explanation is a comet having broken up in an extremely regular pattern at a really silly angle. A possibility raised is a civilization setting up a dyson swarm, or basically a bajillion solar panels coordinating with themselves to stay in orbit and produce the energy a super advanced space faring civilization needs, but on the other hand the system is dark in infrared light suggesting that the light from the star isn't being absorbed and converted into anything (which heats things > releases infrared, because nothing is 100% efficient)any ideas on where the infrared might be, given that it's a dyson swarm?

I hate the fermi paradox View Thread Reply Hide Otto Struve - Sat, 30 Jan 2016 02:53:49 EST Y6cuAVAn No.55979 File: 1454140429941.jpg -(232492B / 227.04KB, 600x400) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. The Fermi paradox is not a fucking paradox. It's completely reasonable that in a universe this large and the short amount of time we have had are ears open looking for radio broadcasts AND the fact that intelligent life evolving or even evolving with the senses that would make radio waves a logical invention for them is highly unlikely. Given what we know about how many planets are in the habitable zones of stars. It's totally reasonable that we have not heard a thing from anyone. Maybe if we listened for like I don't know 3 million years THEN we can safely say "yes fermi was right this IS a pardox" can anyone prove this idea wrong? 69 posts and 14 images omitted.

Is the big bang happening constanty? View Thread Reply Hide John Wheeler - Sat, 12 Mar 2016 11:21:59 EST D/M9znoO No.56118 File: 1457799719882.jpg -(42859B / 41.85KB, 640x605) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. My physics teacher has a theory that if the big bang theory then why can't it happen againIs it possible that the universe is expanding because of big bangs are happening constantly? How does this fit with the big bounce theory?The first issue I see is how the big bangs are being formed and in what enviroments. 1 posts omitted.

Van Allen Belts Proven to be "to lethal to travel in" View Thread Reply Hide Allan Sandage - Wed, 20 Jan 2016 18:13:58 EST sV+7XGwN No.55944 File: 1453331638661.jpg -(469133B / 458.14KB, 900x658) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. The Van Allen belts put out radiation that can be extremely detrimental to a persons health and could even lead to death. NASA itself has claimed it can't get through the radiation belts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlXG0REiVzEhttps://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/van-allen-probes-spot-impenetrable-barrier-in-spaceNow that NASA has tentatively acknowledged that the Van Allen Belts can't be passed, how is it we were able to land a man on the moon?>the answer may surprise youNew evidence shows that robotic drone type machines may have been used inside the Apollo astronauts suits while the astronauts remained safely in low earth orbit. Apollo 9 tested that astronauts could survive in low earth orbit below the 1,000 km mark where the Van Allen Belts begin. >The clunky mechanical engineering of the time combined with the human publics unawareness of how gravity on the moon effects objects differently than on Earth lead to this kind of Qausi-hoax to be implemented.>It was implemented not for some nefarious reason but rather to protect our astronauts from dieing the minute they entered the belts, haven't you ever wondered why they keep the International Space Station so low in orbit?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOHMUQn_x7Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIYdF7YlX3ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLw9a5t-sUshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-iCm9S53Johttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwVqVu5Tl-kDoes anyone have more info on this?I'm not saying we didn't land on the moon but the radiation from the Van Allen Belts would simply be to much for a human body to take but a mechanized American could have survived. 15 posts and 4 images omitted.
