that's fucking awesome.

saw a show yesterday talking about the massive magnetic field created by Jupiter's inner core, composed of a superfluid, frictionless and highly magnetic. dope shit. everything in the universe including our planet is fucking AWESOME and weird.

Fascinating:

A deep hole on the moon that could open into a vast underground tunnel has been found for the first time. The discovery strengthens evidence for subsurface, lava-carved channels that could shield future human colonists from space radiation and other hazards: http://www.newscientist.com/article/...-the-moon.html

That's where the aliens are hiding, waiting for the right time to invade.

Tiny changes in atmospheric pressure between day and night can trigger landslides. The same phenomenon could be a final straw that sets off earthquakes and volcanic eruptions waiting to happen: http://www.newscientist.com/article/...-at-night.html

SOME earthquakes can leave a legacy of aftershocks that last for centuries.

Low-level seismic rumbles appear to foreshadow many quakes. Yet not always: the 2008 Sichuan quake in China came out of the blue. These rumbles may not be precursors but aftershocks - readjustments at a fault following a larger event, in some cases centuries earlier

There's a fascinating article on space propulsion in the latest issue of the New Scientist. I'll see you on the other side of the galaxy.

Excellent.

"The question of which came first, the supermassive black holes that frantically devour matter or the enormous galaxies where they reside, is one of the most debated questions in astronomy."

"NASA's new planet-hunting telescope has found two mystery objects that are too hot to be planets and too small to be stars.The Kepler Telescope, launched in March, discovered the two new heavenly bodies, each circling its own star. Telescope chief scientist Bill Borucki of NASA said the objects are thousands of degrees hotter than the stars they circle. That means they probably aren't planets. They are bigger and hotter than planets in our solar system, including dwarf planets."

And another:

"Observational data from nine pulsars, including the Crab pulsar, suggest these rapidly spinning neutron stars emit the electromagnetic equivalent of a sonic boom, and a model created to understand this phenomenon shows that the source of the emissions could be traveling faster than the speed of light."

nasa is calling them "hot jupiters".

this is an interesting anomaly because the temperatures are estimated values based on the known characteristics of the star and how fast the planet is orbiting.

I'm really stoked about Kepler and hope that this is just a taste of what's to come!

the crab pulsar bothers me but it isn't as worrisome as the star that caused the crab nebula.

the progenitor star hasn't finished dying and could explode at any moment.

THAT will be an awesome light show (if we live through it).

krastian · 01.06.2010, 09:11 PM

Yeah, I've seen a few "hot jupiters" in my day.

Martian "treelines" caused by soil that's been darkened by eruptions of sublimating solid carbon dioxide ice, sliding down lighter-colored dunes.

I'll be making this my next painting. it's already my desktop.

EVOLghost · 01.15.2010, 01:18 PM

^ that shit is on Mars?

Rob Instigator · 01.15.2010, 01:19 PM

that is some dope shit there flotz. fucking awesome.

the image looks like what I imagione the melted peopel in rudy rucker's books taking that drug MERGE would look like
