Don't mention.

It's really a great feeling to mingle and rub minds with people of like thought and an even greater knowledge base. It's discussions like these that give me the hope that Nigeria has what it takes to rise to greatness.

Eventually, excellence will overcome mediocrity and ill be proud to say "I was one of them!"

johnydon22:
Hahahahaha harmess you say we all know the fvck we are getting from the one we have.. and you want to add 62more

No wonder... wet weed!!!

freecocoa:
Share those secrets with me please.

Teempakguy:
yeah right. The last time father lion found out I was trying to give a lady the secrets. . . .

Gud morning sir!
Hw ws ur nite?

RobinHez:

Lol! U're welcome!

johnydon22:
Yes man can split Co₂ but its really a very long short that hasnt achieved full scaled prominence..You can look them up on google

Maybe from the type of superb thinking your mind possess you may be the one to help us device a mans to easily slit it just as easy as singing ...am i right?

Teempakguy:
if Jupiter is a gas giant, is it possible to drove a rocket through it's
diameter such that it enters in one place, passes through the center, and
comes out at the other side?

There is less chance that jupiter is all in a gaseous state.. the elements in Jupiter can contract and solidify under pressure, Jupiter in fact may have a solid crust . . .so i wouldn't count on tearing right through the middle of jupiter like some kind of gas ball... because you might as well hit the crust at that speed... we all know what follows next.. "Oh christ!!!... shiit am stuck in Jupiter!!!"

since the moon has such a slow gravity, can I shoot a bullet up and it will
never come back down?

Moon's gravity is 1.6m/s. . the weight of a body is the measure of the effect of the gravitational pull on the body... so a bullet weighing about 22grams here on earth is likely to weight about 2 or less in the moon. . it is likely to escape the moon's atmosphere at the neck breaking speed of bullets but if it doesn't . .it will be a very slow descent, and i mean real real slow Like you will have to wait your asss out until you be like "Fvck this shiit, fall anytime you like dummbass.." ...

can we make artificial saturn like rings for earth? How would they look like
from the ground?

what if the moon had it's own moon?

The effect of that will create a tilt in the moon's orbit around the earth and ultimately a clear shift in the earth's orbit around the sun as we know. . .it would also have effect on the earth as we know it now... But whatever wouldn't it be cool seeing two moons of different sizes in the night sky ?

how big was the planet that formed the asteroid belt?

johnydon22:
You are right i think i will write another on nebulas, dwarf planets, galaxies, blackholes, asteriods, stars and other astronomical wonders..

Astronomy is a beauty bro, will marry her if I can..... Where dah fvck is RobinHez and Queed...we don't need fp to make this as long as our home that seun closed down

johnnnnnny!....I just like this guy!..
well, following on a low-key

The pix is my little contribution....

johnydon22:
Lol..Man don't just realize how almost it seems we don't exist..The earth is just a pale tiny spec of dust.. a look of our solar system suspended in this supercluster of cloud, dust stars and planets..our sun is no more than just a tiny dot..thats why when i see people in their ego regard themselves better than other life forms in this planet, i just laugh and SHM If only they knew

The earth is just a small stage in a vast cosmic arena" Carl sagan

The spacecraft was a long way from home.

I thought it would be a good idea, just after Saturn, to have them take one last glance homeward. From Saturn, the Earth would appear too small for Voyager to make out any detail. Our planet would be just a point of light, a lonely pixel hardly distinguishable from the other points of light Voyager would see: nearby planets, far off suns. But precisely because of the obscurity of our world thus revealed, such a picture might be worth having.

It had been well understood by the scientists and philosophers of classical antiquity that the Earth was a mere point in a vast, encompassing cosmos—but no one had ever seen it as such. Here was our first chance, and perhaps also our last for decades to come.

So, here they are: a mosaic of squares laid down on top of the planets in a background smattering of more distant stars. Because of the reflection of sunlight off the spacecraft, the Earth seems to be sitting in a beam of light, as if there were some special significance to this small world; but it's just an accident of geometry and optics. There is no sign of humans in this picture: not our reworking of the Earth's surface; not our machines; not ourselves. From this vantage point, our obsession with nationalisms is nowhere in evidence. We are too small. On the scale of worlds, humans are inconsequential: a thin film of life on an obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal.

Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you've ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings; thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines; every hunter and forager; every hero and coward; every creator and destroyer of civilizations; every king and peasant, every young couple in love; every mother and father; hopeful child; inventor and explorer; every teacher of morals; every corrupt politician; every supreme leader; every superstar; every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there—on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings; how eager they are to kill one another; how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity—in all this vastness—there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the only home we've ever known.

A wonderfully beautiful one my brother. . I only wish people knew the vastness of just the solar system talk less of the milky way or our local cluster forget the universe. . If they recognized the vastness of what is they will be humbled..

I have always affirmed that "The wealth of this world is not in what we take from it but what we give it because frankly we are the planet"

johnydon22:
Voyager 1 is now at 18million kilometers away from earth ..Haven't even left our solar system... took this photograph of earth..

TheDauraMallam:


Here is a more beautifully designed and moving version!!

TheDauraMallam:


Actually, no.

This picture was taken in 1990.

Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of the Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System.

I'm very interested in how that can be, all I'm sure of is that, the process no go be here but hey, you never know.

But wait ooh, I have never heard of a second visit to the earth's moon., NASA use to be curious... 1967 is a long way... or do we have life forms on it?

johnydon22:
There have been six manned moon landing since 1969 to 1972 and they have been a total of 12 astronauts to ever walk on the moon and they later missions used a moon rover for easier mobility.

They have been several unmanned landings too of which Russia and China also hold spots in the list.

So there have been other moon landings after Apollo 11 and huge plans are on going now according to Nasa to see man back to the moon, not just for few hours like all the other landings we have but for months, that's why it's taking long cus facilities and equipments needs to be ready..

bqlekan:
I can be a bit troublesome atimes brother.. but wait, 1972 is a long way off, how long does it take to prepare new horizons for Pluto exploration? Why years for our closest body..? Some believe these other missions are just hoax. I wouldn't believe that tho.. I searched and found no tangible reason.. there should be a base of operation on the moon by now. Or what do you think?

johnydon22:
Lmao. . . Man is making living facilities to stay on the moon for up to months and you are comparing such life sustaining facilities with an unmanned space probe like New Horizons.

This is like asking why another Rover has not been dropped on Mars since the curiosity Rover.

Like i said above the next mission to the moon will not be to stay few hours like the previous missions but rather months and there is no disputing the herculean facilities (life sustaining) needed for that.

China successfully landed an unmanned craft on the moon as recent as last two years (2013) so you could see the recent moon landings we have.

China as well as Nasa are working on Manned landings hopefully you will get to see one before 2020
