NEOWISE comet: “Enjoy it while you can. The frozen ball of ice won’t return to the inner solar system for 6,800 years.” Talk about it! https://www.nytimes.com/article/neowise-comet.html Catching Up Quote: from https://earthsky.org/space/what-lives-between-the-stars What lives between the stars? Posted by Christopher Crockett in Space | November 28, 2012 The interstellar medium is the stuff between the stars. Made up mostly of hydrogen and helium gas, it contains all the material needed to make stars and planets. It is shaped by stellar winds, dying stars, galactic magnetic fields, and supernova explosions. I was shopping for 5 weeks worth of groceries yesterday so this is catch up for me. Many of the times over the years I have stayed up to watch a comet or other phenomenon only to find a cover of clouds so thick watching was worthless. NEOWISE is still near so I'll make an effort to see it for real. I have binoculars. I even have a telescope that shows me some good views of stars and the moon. In the mean time I like the pictures on the web. I knew scientists were involved in watching for comets that may harm the earth. I never heard the name of the program is NEOWISE until now. During the winter I went out to watch the stars on a couple of clear cold nights. There is always something going on in the sky. Here is a good place to go on our august vacation. We could go camping in space. Live on the space station. Visit the mars robots and telescopes. Visit the earth stations that watch the sky. I think I'll study teleporting. Is Saudi Arabia really interested in Mars? See Ya! apondia#1781748 |
