True story: I watched the planet episode of Magic School Bus yesterday w/ son, it said they don't know what the surface of Pluto looks like

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

and that they would need to send a satellite out in order to be sure. What a day to be alive.

You must mean the Charon Mass Relay

Have we found the mass relay orbiting it yet?

Wasn't it frozen inside Pluto?

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I thought it was inside Charon and unthawing it stabilized Pluto's orbit.

Some one is gonna have to find this out cause I'm too lazy to go through all those file things on all three games

Oh, Pluto. I remember when you were a planet. Too bad you were mined until your core became too small.

So, is that a line for terminators to use, or can they not cross it? Do terminators know about that line? I have so many questions...

11 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 1

Every red dot is one of them, as detected by Horizon's sensors, but likely there are many more. Be glad they're so far away.

"Terminator" is just the official term for the boundary between the light side and the dark side of any space object that doesn't emit light

That's pretty fucking metal

Soooo the penumbra?

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Penumbra has to do with shadows. Terminator is about if it is lit or not directly from the source of light.

Nitrogen glaciers. Nitrogen. Frickin. Glaciers. That stuff you're breathing right now? Pluto has frickin GLACIERS made out of it.

We breathe nitrogen?

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Air is 80% nitrogen.

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yup! 76% of the earth's atmosphere is made of it!

11 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Do you think that's air you're breathing now/

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

And most of the air we breath is nitrogen. Other stuff too. Like oxygen for starters. But mostly nitrogen.

TIL I'm breathing nitrogen.

78% Nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and the remaining 1% trace gases (including Argon (0.9%) and CO2 (.039%)).

I also drink water and Earth has glaciers, clouds and oceans of it, all at the same time. What other planet you know has that?

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Which makes it easy to relate to. Glaciers made of the GAS I'm breathing just blows my mind, even if I understand the science of it.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I mean it's cool (haha) but also very common. There's a lot of cold in space.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah but I can get water ice from my own freezer. Even getting a minute amount of nitrogen ice would take significant effort.

That's the worst part to me. I remembered that the air is 80% nitrogen from high school. Her "science" wasn't even complicated (1)

(2) like using written out names of chemicals. It was high school stuff, and some people followed her word.

I remember freaking out when that happened because I knew a lot about space and I couldn't understand why no one else was bothered by it.

You'd die in about 2 seconds

That isn't true. Your body would inflate to unnatural sizes and you would pass out within about a minute due to lack of oxygen. 1/?

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

You would die within about 3-4 minutes from lack of oxygen over anything else. You won't freeze in space because there is noting there 2/?

I don't know why you're getting all this hate. You are completely correct.

Because I just rocked their movie concept of what space is without a suit and they refuse to accept reality.

The surface of Pluto is approx. -387 Fahrenheit. Very different from floating in space above Earth. You would die immediately.
