This is an interesting read about how we could mine the sun and other bodies in the solar system and simultaneously reduce the impact of mining on earth's ecosystems and help build a space faring civilization.

35972 The wording of the survey with all this indistinct testing is seen to me as overloaded, meaningless and collapsing under its own weight. Roy, the idea here is not to have an accurate representation of what each one of us thinks really but to have a Jelly Beans in a Jar kind of poll, a crowd w...

Roy , okay, then you do not get to participate in this forum any further. FFT likewise asked "why are you even here?" Apparently not to have a respectful discussion with all participants. Respect is something we value at the core of our community. You do not get to raise a fuss about thin...

35962 but a part of me wondered if the geometry of the earth and the typical inclination of solar system objects might favor some locations over others (or the concept that some parts of the planet have a slightly stronger gravitational pull than other parts.....but I suspect this is insignificant ...

35942 Bunch of a new screenshots. What and outstanding job Vladimir. This code is a piece of art. There are many things that might be of interest here that I don't know where to start. Kudos to you and the entire SE team. This is a dream come true!  I wonder if it would be possible to ring "ju...

35944 But I think you've seen a few like these, haven't you, Mid?  With my own eyes, no.  I've seen my own shadow from a bright meteor, and I've seen fragmenting meteors, but I've not seen a truly  huge fireballs (this one had a peak magnitude of -18 or -19 (normalised for 100 km distance)), which ...

35944 Maybe some parts of the planet are more favorable for these?  Has any research been done into that I wonder? A lot of research indeed and everything seems to corroborate that they indeed fall everywhere on Earth. Since the fall of a meteor doesn't depend on the particular point of Earth's rot...

35944 Maybe some parts of the planet are more favorable for these? Meteor/meteorite frequency is very uniform across the Earth. Some people might see more than usual over some span of time just by chance. Or if they look up more often, or have an automated observing network like midts has. :) Just ...

That's a once in a lifetime kind of experience!  But I think you've seen a few like these, haven't you, Mid?  Maybe some parts of the planet are more favorable for these?  Has any research been done into that I wonder?

Wow thats absolutely amazing!  Was anyone actually in the area to see this?  I picture something like this happening on the Moon, not on Earth!  It must've been wonderful to witness! Sometimes I wish our atmosphere was thinner so a lot more of us could see these as they hit, of course then there wou...

Oh I love this discussion!  What I find so vexing about the dust regions is there are large parts of our own galaxy that we simply dont know very well, including the center!  I wonder if we could discover more massive stars than our theories even thought possible.  And more luminous stars than we th...

35838 In my opinion, respecting what the HR diagram tells us on the evolution of the star is quite imporant. It would greatly improve the consistency of the SE universe. It would indeed, but there are several reasons why this is currently an outstanding scientific endevour. It would result in publi...

Thanks, Wat, this explains why so many of these events end up being disappointing.  As people jump on early forecasts and make predictions of major events that dont pan out. But the idea of unexpected aurora activity sounds like a special treat.  It reminds me of late December last year when I was i...

How far south might Northern Lights get with this solar storm?

There is a universe with trillions of worlds to explore in SE , I dont see the need for updates more than once a year or so.
