They are not well positioned to do that. You have to be in a very narrow path. But a properly positioned ground telescope could learn quite a lot about the star by studying the light curve. In some ways, events like this can give more detail than even the Webb can do. We can also learn about the asteroid by studying the light curves from several telescopes in different positions.
This is the type of event where high speed video gives better data than a long exposure. It will only be 12 seconds from beginning to end at any viewing site. And it will cross the earth in 18 minutes.
I was obsessed with space for a while when I was pretty young. I remember finding out that I saw Halley’s comet when I was a baby, and became convinced that I’d live long enough to see it come back again, or even die once it returned. I guess I was a little bit morbid or looking for some sort of meaning to life.
So anyway, this is the beginning of my mid-life crisis.
Moghbeli didn’t offer details on where the tomato was found, nor what condition it was in. But it’s probably safe to assume it won’t be featured in a gourmet meal anytime soon.
Another article that doesn’t offer any more details about where it was found. I’m starting to really believe someone ate it!
It’s a strange title but the idea makes sense: when solar winds die down a planet with a magnetic core sees a dramatic increase in its magnetosphere. Pretty cool finding and a good reason for more extraterrestrial satellites.
has the definition of “no longer transmitting” changed recently?
When functioning properly, the FDS compiles the spacecraft’s info into a data package, which is then transmitted back to Earth using the TMU. Lately, that data package has been “stuck,” the blog post said, “transmitting a repeating pattern of ones and zeros.” Voyager’s engineering team traced the problem back to the FDS, but it could be weeks before a solution is found.
I mean, i’m not a scientist, is that not transmitting. flipping click bait titles.
