hahahaha. . this is funny to me. i have no idea why though.

Seriously if our magnetic field goes then are going bye-bye princess. . . Its no joke

anyway, you're probably right as well. the problem now is, if humans are going to live on mars, they will have to plan their lives around it. it solar winds must be constantly monitored so that they can be indoors when it strikes. or . . . fried chicken, sir.

meanwhile, ganymede is becoming somehow interesting to me . . .

Largest moon in the system and the only of such to have it's on magnetic field.. Damn she is pretty attractive..

Wouldn't blame you..

hahn:


When I am eventually rich, I will love to create a science institute here in Nigeria. Maybe we can work on it together when it's time

GANYMEDE

Everyone should give this crown jewel of the moons a standing ovation. . . This moon is the largest moon in our solar system and it's not a surprise it belongs to the largest planet in our system, Jupiter.

Ganymede is one of the Galilean moons, the only moon to possess it's own independent magnetic field.

Ganymede anyway has a trapped under ground salty ocean beneath is surface, it is truly a remarkable moon..

This baby should be a planet not a moon, jupiter nawa for you oo na only you waka come?

contunu !!!

johnydon22:


I doubt the solar wind hypothesis. . . We are much closer to the Sun than Mars and so i think Solar winds should have much effect on the earth than Mars...

So If solar wind had such effects on Mars, Why is earth still hoarding an enormous amount of liquid water..

(tho waters on Mars must have been far more older than what we have on earth..)



Alongside Mars having an ancient ocean before, it is also thought mars had a much thick atmosphere like earth..

What ever murdered those Thick atmosphere took the water with it.

My best guess is a Planetary Collision, Mars might have been a bit bigger than it is now, a collision with another planetary body e.g Asteroid Can really dismantle Mars' rich atmosphere remember Asteroids react like nuclear bomb on impact.

So i think It was a collision which evaporated the Waters in the process, peeled off most of Mars' atmosphere until we are left with what we have now..

Debris from that collision must have contributed to the debris in the asteroid belt..

Take a look at the picture of Mars i put up there, You noticed the huge scar on the planets surface?..

Might be remnants from the impact.. ...

johnydon22:


Very true about the Magnetic field that is why i proposed a collision which is the only that should be powerful enough to severe Martian magnetic field that much..

Our collision with the body that formed our moon should not be as big as that Mars could have witnessed.

The body must have been nearly half the size of Mars to powerful enough to diminish the planets size, severe it's magnetic field and slice it's atmosphere leaving the water and possibly life forms on it at the mercy of Solar Wind like you rightly postulated.

The scar on Mars points towards a humongous collision..

I think understanding what really happened to the Red planet would give us incentive on how to prevent Earth from suffering such fate anytime soon..

Mars did have a very thick atmosphere before,but it was slowly lost due to solar winds which eroded the atmosphere, we are very lucky on earth because we have a strong magnetic field that deflects this solar wind and radiation before it reaches the surface. Mars has a frozen core which makes it defenseless to these solar winds,that's y humans won't be able to live on Mars surfaces except it's underground or in strong bunkers orelse we would have cancer...even astronauts and pilots ar at the risk of these...

Blakjewelry:

I have similar dream but I think I will be starting small, I already have a name and a project under it. I thought I might be launching the e-version this year but there is no free cash to throw around for now. Though I plan to raise cash also via donations for the physical project, I thought e-version can create environment were science heads can come together to interact and form alliance for a new project. I mean people from different field can contribute to achieve a goal

hahn:


Nice. I'm in it for the profit though plus it will be cool to have youths engaged in something other than entertainment. You can try indiegogo dot com. It's a crowd funding platform and such ideas will sell there. Endeavour to check it out

Blakjewelry:

OK I will try and check on my spare time, but it's passion that drives me and the cash. I don't want to pass through this world without making contribution to it

donnffd:


The reason Mars doesn't have a magnetosphere is because of its frozen core, earth's core is molten liquid

johnydon22:
[b]ASTEROIDS AND COMETS

Asteroid is a small planet-like body or can be referred to as a miniature planet if you so wish that orbit a star too..

Comets are are little spec of ice and dust that charges up when it comes into close range with the sun and emits a radiative emissions in reaction to action of solar radiation and wind on it's nucleus..

Now these two are the last on my list, it has been speculated that water has not always been on planet EARTH as we know it today..

No it used to be a dry hot planet after formation, earth's water scientist speculate came from asteroids and small part of it from comets.

So these two enter the last of my list because they have shown to be water cooperation of the system ..

Water is not a rare thing in this universe, water molecules have been found even in distant nebulae away affirming that water is a very common factor in this universe..

There are ocean-like water in comets that speed through us sometimes, notable is the Hartley 2 (Picture below) that has shown to have a whole lot of water like oceans..
So here concludes my list of our neighbouring oceans and water buddies in our planetary system.

(1)Comet
(2)Asteroid

One of the picture resembles a demigod

Which of them and which demiGod?

Nmeri17:
any idea about what the red threadlike stuff around Europa depicts??

Gluthatione:
I think our mods are sleeping on this post should be in front page by now.

Lets call our bosses lalasticlala, Mynd44 and UjSizzle to help out with that

LoJ:
Nice thread. Hey Johnydon22, you never gave me feedback on the telescope issue.

Krystalzkris:
wonder why i didnt take my physics and geography class serious.

Ahmed3rdjuly:
You are seeing water and am seeing scars from asteroids in almost all the planetary bodies
May God help us

hahn:


Do you think johnnydon22 learnt all this via the Nigerian schooling system? It's apparent that he is self taught

Timileyin008:
You shud be disappointed and sorry for yourself

Krystalzkris:
meaning what You should be sorry for urself too

Timileyin008:
Meaning you should have taken your physics and geography classes serious if so there wouldnt be any reason for your tourche story...
