Re: Moons with Moons

I've been having a few ideas about this and will just "chew the cud" and throw some thoughts out there in the hope that it helps us think outside the gravitational field... :D First of all I was reading up on binary star systems and the barycenter which got me wondering... if the Sirius Re...

Re: Moons with Moons

I'm not aware of any nor are mainstream scientists, although they do agree it is possible but only for a short duration due to the interaction between the gravity field of earth, the moon and tidal forces. They also have no examples of any and say they are too hard to find using current methods... C...

Re: Astronomers discover 7 Moon-sized planets orbiting nearby Gas Giant

That's no moon, it's a spac.... no... wait, you're correct, they are moons! :lol: It's an interesting correlation looking at these "new" moons and the moons of the gas giants in our own solar system, especially the 20% difference in axis measurements and equal size reduction across the boa...

"Err... can we just blame the black hole again?!"

It looks like mainstream astronomy is finally on to something, it's a shame none of these so-called researchers will ever look beyond their next grant cheque at common sense explanations like this: AT THE EARTH'S CORE - The Geophysics of Planetary Evolution Maybe they DID read it... heck, they neve...

Re: RS2 videos from 2008

I only just stumbled across these the other day, excellent work thanks for updating them, it's always good to have some RS2 info in a different format as only having reading material has put some people I know off. The videos should give them enough intriguing information to ignite a spark to invest...

...a low-mass supernova triggered the formation of our solar system

Sound familiar? Did a low-mass supernova trigger formation of solar system? A research team led by University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Yong-Zhong Qian uses new models and evidence from meteorites to show that a low-mass supernova triggered the formation of our solar sys...

Hubble Detects Giant 'Cannonballs' Shooting from Star

http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/hubble-detects-giant-cannonballs-shooting-from-star Or in other words, your science is backwards.... hence the confusion: The fireballs present a puzzle to astronomers, because the ejected material could not have been shot out by the host star, called V Hydra...
