Yea, ive been into astronomy since before i had access to the internet. Im tired of asking a question like "why are some of the largest volcanos in the solar system in one area on mars? Wandering hotspot?" And i get some lecture by some dude who didnt even answer or speculate on my question. About earth plate tectonics.

Back in the 1990's we lived deep in the Rockies, in Wyoming. I remember going out at night to view comet Hale-Bopp, and with no light pollution, the tail stretched nearly a third of the way across the sky and was greenish in color.

One of the main scientists on the Rosetta mission was so excited when they thought the lander successfully landed and was stable on the surface of the comet that she was jumping up and down and screaming in delight. Then they realized the lander actually bounced off the surface and had tumbled and was wedged in a crevice and incorrectly positioned to do the intended experiments. She must have been devastated, but they only had a day or two to complete as much work before the power supply dwindled to nothing because the solar panels were shaded from sunlight. Years later she told her experience in a documentary video. The team was under extreme pressure to get the most out of what little time the craft had left so she didn’t have time to focus on the disappointing failure to land properly. The data gathered from the limited time was still a huge contribution to the field.

[@bobseago1513]

[@BezBog]

Outstanding documentary work as usual! I have always been most impressed with these comet and asteroid missions as the precision required for them is so astonishing and yet we managed to pull it off.

[@angryhedgehoglee6363]

Shoemaker Levy 9 terrified me. If it had missed Jupiter it would have been hurled into the inner solar system right in our neighborhood. Im not an expert but Jupiter showed its worth during that encounter. However, at the same time, if the comet had missed, Jupiters gravitational influence may have hurled the many fragments helter skelter into the inner solar system, actually increasing our odds of getting hit by at least one of the fragments maybe more. Jupiter is both a blessing and a nightmare at the same time.

I was in college when Stardust-NExt met up with Temple 1. The complexity of the necessary calculations needed to ensure that the spacecraft rendezvoused at the exact time to image the crater left by Deep Impact collision are difficult to wrap your head around! I have a science degree and am good at math, but I can’t even think how intricate and precise those calculations must have been, so when the mission was a success, I was extraordinarily impressed. The DART mission was the next leap forward for the study of near earth objects and the ability to detect and divert potential collisions with our home planet. The science done by the exceptionally brilliant scientists in the space agencies is evolving exponentially every mission.

Among my most highly recommended literary works is "Lucifer's Hammer," a collaborative effort by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournel. This epic novel explores the catastrophic consequences of a collision between Earth and massive cometary fragments, resulting in the near-annihilation of human civilization. Despite its age, the book remains a seminal work that introduced me to the concept of such an impact and its potential ramifications.

[@Safetytrousers]

An asteroid that would have caused problems had it been on an Earth trajectory was successfully perturbed by an impact such that it would have missed, so we're safe from anything like that.

I hate when the analogy of “with the force of ‘X’ atomic bombs” is used. Atomic weapons vary in scale, with some being hundreds of times bigger than what was dropped in Hiroshima. It’s like saying “the comet weighed as much as seven boats” lol

[@paganphil100]

@JuiceBlack: When they measure some sort of force and compare it to A-bombs they usually mean the Hiroshima bomb.

I know I’ll never see Halley. I turned 28 today and I’ve already had two strokes. 2061 is just too far. Shame. I love astronomy more than anything. I live in deep east texas 30 miles from the nearest town. No light pollution. I’ve been able to see the Milky Way in all its glory for almost my entire life. I can see the Orion Nebula with only binoculars. Most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Anyway, I hope my son will see the comet. He’d be living my dream.

Hope, you will do it with them, though.

Probably funding to enable such high quality videos.

That's how this platform works. There are several ways to counter this, by the way.

Because you and i are born consumers, our entire life is filled with commercials. Or atleast it should be, i havent seen a commercial on the computer in 8+ years.

Please make a video on Comet A3

[@cokemachine5510]

The ort cloud is theoretical. Or more accurately a figment of the imagination. Are you going to mention elements in the comet tails we analyzed can't form around water? Or need extreme heat and pressure to transmute? No probably not? Any mention of the possibility comets have been ripped from planets? No! Why would you? You seem to wear your bias on your sleeve. Did you know?

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

What elements would those be?

[@davejones7632]

_"Any mention of the possibility comets have been ripped from planets?"_ Nope, because nobody sane thinks that is what comets are. Planets are rocky. Comets aren't.

[@cokemachine5510]

@@TheEvilmooseofdoom I don't recall the elements, but the elements they retrieved from comet tails show the snowball theory not so. Apparently, comets and asteroids are ripped from planets? In giant electrical events ? Transmuted by forces where water can't exist. And where water would destroy certain elements. Or specific crystal formations that can't exist in the presence of water. Now that I think about it, I'm not real sure of the context of your question? I'm doing a lot of assuming. Anyway, there you go.

Experts - "Trust science, we know our stuff" Skeptics - "I think you need to do more testings" Experts - "Shut-up anti-science" (censors skeptics) Model proven wrong Experts - "welp, see this is how science works, trust science"

[@clauslangenbroek9897]

Because science is all about testing. You don't say to a bus driver "You should do more bus driving," except for implication of criticism. On the other hand, testing is all about uncertainties (normally, scientists are very upfront about this, because that's what they do. In their papers, mind you, not in comment sections.) I think they are right to shut them up.

[@NicholasLatipi]

as long I am not compelled to participate in their testings and experiment as lab rats and demonized if I resist I don't care how they do their "science"

I don't know whose fault it is, scientists or communicators, but it certainly is infuriating, how models and hypothesis are presented as facts so many times, just because they are the best guesses at the current time. Half of what I learned as a kid, and were presented as facts already proved to be wrong today.
