Starship Asterisk*

Are you guys thinking that the Big Bang happened only once? What if it is a continuous never-ending process?

An example of atmospheric differentiation???

Is it possible for Mars to have undergone an atmospheric event/differentiation that might have somehow separated the carbon from the carbon dioxide allowing it to fall to the surface?

Here's another one straight from my imagination...how about a slightly magnetized neutron star interacting with Saturn's ionizing gases. (The neutron star being inside Saturn) I'm not even sure if that is possible...

Do they know what caused the magnetic disconnection event in the ion tail?

If this is a comet, then where is the dust tail? All I see is an ion tail.

Could Hyakutake be a class B2 star shedding its heliosheath?

What I mean by a "surge of black body radiation" is all forms of electromagnetic radiation minus the visible component of the electromagnetic spectrum. Black body radiation would most likely be produced by an astronomical object emitting mostly radio, x-ray, and gamma ray frequencies. Do a...

What effect would a surge of black body radiation have on an astronomical object such as Phobos?

Thank you, Chris!!!

Are there any space satellite images of meteors traveling through Earth's atmosphere?

In regards to the first post, there was a fairly recent exhibit (last two years or so) at the Seattle Science Center which gave credit to the Chinese as knowing of the Galilean moons as early as 300 B.C. I suspect humanity has been observing them as long as the pan flute as been around. It may have ...

Thank you Neufer...

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that parts of space can be radio silent, not all of space in general...

For Neufer,

What effect does radio silent space have on pulsar radio waves?

Does this differ than radio noise from the Milky Way?

Granted its' mass is probably much too high, but could Enceladus at some point turn into a comet if Saturn's gravitational forces continue to act on it?

Does anyone know the theoretical maximum size that a cometary core can be?

Anyone know what the small spherical shadow just a little left of the end of the prominence is?

If Prometheus is an asteroid type body, does this mean that it originated from the asteroid or Kuiper belt? (I'm not sure of scale of distances of both from Saturn)

Does this mean that the "blue moon" is the brown moon in the photograph that I have, because I thought the blue one would have been the blue moon? Probably a dumb question, but could the Earth/moon system be considered a double planet? To Aristarchusinexile...it has been a few years since ...

Double lunar orbits...a blue moon perhaps?

Thank you!!

Shouldn't the frictional resistance of the atmosphere have held it in place?

Anyone ever wonder what happened to Mar's atmosphere?

I'd say it looks like the guy that carries the fleece, but what do I know?

Does this mean that the sun's motion is moving retrograde with respect to the galaxy?

I guess it would have to depend on the interacting energies between the solar systems' within a galaxy. Galactic collapse of a galaxy might be triggered by W.I.M.P's (Winding Intergalactic Massive Planets), but far as the connection with global warming you're probably right...it would be a bit of a ...
