It’s interesting how the article you linked presents the conclusion
microbial life is not ruled out by the new results; but the fact is that the original Labeled Release results make sense with the chemistry of Martian soil as it’s now understood, no microbial life needed.
the chlorine component of the chlorobenzene is martian, and the carbon molecule of the chlorobenzene is consistent with a martian origin, though we cannot fully rule out instrument contamination.
Which would seem to be the same thing but with opposite probability biases. Your link is twisting its source material.
Using a high-temperature plasma tunnel, scientists have discovered what it might be like to plumb the depths of Uranus.
Sure, we know it would be smelly; but there are other considerations that need to be taken into account when designing a probe that can withstand the rigors therein.
Now that the experiments have been successfully performed, researchers can use the information acquired to develop the sensors that will measure the ice giants’ atmospheres as they plunge into the mysterious depths. Of Uranus.
Saving you a click: Sun like stars turn into a red giant which is hard to live near and destroys nearby planets. After that red giants turn into white dwarfs which are possible to survive near but normally there aren’t any planets left to live on.
The article is about them discovering a jupiter size planet around a white dwarf
Thanks. If anybody is interested, I saved this article about said planet. It does, imho, a good job of going a bit deeper into the paper without beeing to technical (speaking from a lay persons perspective)
What if we originated on Venus? Then came to Earth as our ancestors messed up that planet. And we came here so we wouldn’t make the same mistake again? What if we are aliens that have the capability to know enough about science to be dangerous to the planets in the universe? Maybe reincarnation is simply finding a new planet to start over on, so that one day we can become decent enough to keep a planet going? /s
It is by definition not sarcasm. So it doesn’t need a /s
Sarcasm usually involves saying the opposite of what you really mean. But it’s hard to infer from text so you add the /s so people don’t downvote because they think you are serious.
I.e. the OC is soo sarcastic /s or Trump is a once in a generation genius!! /s
I don't think you've quite understood '/s'. The author was not serious with his post and indicated this fact with '/s'. By definition it is sarcasm as that's what the author defined it as.
It would make for a pretty cool setting for a story though. Set in the near future, first crewed missions to Venus find petroglyphs recording the last days of their ancestors
I’ve watch and read various version of Devilman, I enjoyed the series… But I could never remember the main plot or story, only the memes stuck to my brain.
At the end he fights Satan for an endless eternity, using a diminishing supply of other willing demons as spare body parts as he wears all his limbs out.
The shocks of their battle cause irreparable damage to Earth, and the last of humanity to perish with it.
At the end, he lies limbless, dead or comatose next to Satan on the moon, who asks him almost child-like for closure.
White glowing meteorites presumably sent from God crash into the Earth, wiping all demonic (and presumably all) life from it, similar to the book of revelations
Wood doesn’t burn or rot in the lifeless vacuum of space, but it will incinerate into a fine ash upon reentry into Earth’s atmosphere — making it a surprisingly useful, biodegradable material for future satellites.
No, actually. Metal doesn’t burn up, it melts to slag and disintegrates, but the metal particles don’t become gas the way carbon does. Then you just have a bunch of a space debris and reactive, aerosolized metal particles knocking around the upper atmostphere. Aluminum Oxide ash can float to the ground, or it can cause ozone decomposition. We’re not entirely sure which is worse based on the amount coming back from satellites, but the number of satellites we’re sending up is increasing rapidly. So it wouldn’t hurt if they were a little less toxic.
that line isn’t the horizon, it’s the edge of the shadow that separates day from night time. There’s no way to perceive it at ground level, but if you’re high in the air and the sun is near the horizon it’s visible.
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!
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.
