Re: TR: Astronomers Define New Class of Planet: The Super-Ea

Wonder what the core of one of these big guys must be like. Woofh! O~O I would imagine something with high gravity would attact more volatiles to its surface. Image an ocean thousands of kilometers deep.

Re: Earth Retains Much of Its Original Heat

By that time the earth could be receiving enough radiation to keep a molten surface. A situation where the center is frozen solid with a shallow molten part.

Re: HEAPOW: A Pulsar's Tail (2011 Jul 18)

How long and wide is the tail. Would it be possible for any star systems to get caught up in the tail something like this and have ill effects? Of course its possible but what is the likelyhood? I would imagine planets with magnetic fields having strong auroras as a result.
