“Fit for life”? Bubba, let’s get this crystal clear - you were born here and you will die here. Maybe stop murdering your current planet first before you get all het up about murdering another one.
Fit for life, FFS. Yeah, yeah I’m sure it’s all theoretical and academic but let’s just put that to rest now. Elmo’s spacewagon ain’t for you.
That was my first thought also - did the supernova shatter a star, or is the supernova literally the result of a star shattering?
Both could be true, it could be that a star went supernova, then the shockwave shattered a star. I CBA to read into it and I’m hoping someone will reply with the answer.
I wasn’t even thinking a binary system necessarily, just a star that happened to take the shockwave badly. But I suppose it would make more sense for that to happen the closer the nearby star is.
I wonder if they have a simulated Voyager 1 they test their solutions on first. Having two full days between patch and response from the real one is hard to imagine.
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.
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.
