Sink Holes in Comets

Post by kellogg » Thu Jul 02, 2015 7:36 pm

ESA is talking about Rosetta finding massive sink holes on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

The article went on to talk about how sink holes would increase the surface area, allowing more vaporization into space.

So basically, you've got a naturally ocurring Rocket Venturi! :)

Know the quiet place within your heart and touch the rainbow of possibility; be
alive to the gentle breeze of communication, and please stop being such a jerk.
