The Astronomy and Physics thread. And things of the like.

Re: The Astronomy and Physics thread. And things of the like.

If its the one I'm thinking of, its been making the rounds over the last week. It basically says all the Aliens are dead and deals with the Fermi Paradox.

I personally don't buy it at all. At least not when it comes to outside our galactic neighborhood.

Oh okay. I still don't think that's true though. 40 billion potential Earth like planets in our own galaxy, and we are a small galaxy to boot. Multiply that by billions upon billions of galaxies. I just can't see how we are the only ones.

For organic carbon based lifeforms this is true. But there is some scientific speculation that life may be able to survive on cryogenic hydrocarbons. This could be the case on some of Jupiter and Saturn's moons such as Titan, Europa, and Enceladus.

Spot on.

There is so much I'd love to talk about regarding this topic, but a lot of it would border on the ToS here, so I'm not even going to start. I'll be following though.

Astronomy fact of the day: There are three things that we can see from Earth that are outside of our Galaxy. The Large and Small Magellanic clouds and the Andromeda Galaxy. The Magellanic clouds are only visible in the southern hemisphere.

I was just outside with my dog and saw what I'm pretty sure was a meteorite. It was just above me and pretty low. It was a yellow streak and then disappeared. It was pretty awesome.

Ahem....

METEOR.

It isn't a meteorite until it hits the ground.

True. But I assumed it was a meteorite because I think it was gonna hit the ground since it was so low. I should have been clearer.

That's the first time I've visited BroBible. And probably the last.

Yea not the best source. But here is a piece from NASA on the same issue.

I mean, you could gather the info you needed from it, it's just that they called something "diesel" and I immediately closed the tab. Get off my lawn.
