NATIONAL NEWS CORPORATION (New Castreleon) Jean Boutins, born in 1922, died Friday according to official provincial records. The death certificate lists...
Imagine a star like the Sun, orbited at about 1 AU by a planet like the Earth which has a satellite like the Moon; and also at 5.2 AU by a planet like Jupiter....
... Why just 26 AU? ... To look as big as Moon, it should have a diameter 26 times greater than Sun. If you want something bigger than a point, use a giant...
... In order for the companion not to perturb Jupiter's orbit into instability, it needs to be five times as far from the sun as Jupiter; or else only a fifth...
... They can be seen without a telescope only by those with exceptionally acute eye-sight, under ideal atmospheric circumstances. They were not known before...
... That's true, AFAIK. At any rate, either very acute sight or ideal seeing weather are required. Not all ancient astronomers knew about them; AFAIK most...
I've found that the latest source of mass hysteria in the Eastlands is, yep, you guessed it: hordes of rampaging polupodes come up out of the mysterious depths...
... It seems that the time spent on the main sequence is (M**-2.5)*10 Gy, so the mass of the star which becomes red giant after 4.5 Gy would be 1.37 solar...
Thanks. So, then, that could happen; a star barely under Chandrashekar's Limit could still become a red giant by 4.5 Gyears; at a distance from the Sun of 150...
... Close. It's actually a moving picture lounge. The *skenekuklodrome* is a kind of smallish ampitheatre where an eikonadiabalator (a thing that throws...
... They knew the period and they knew the duration of the "phases" in the sense that it is morning star or unvisible or evening star, but is there any reason...
... The limit is to be applied not to the original mass but to the core which remains after shedding its outer layers. For main-sequence stars with a mass...
... Thanks. ... Those are interesting! ... How stable would Mercury's orbit be then? Or Venus's? ... Interesting! ... Really? All of them? Yahweh, Elohim,...
... Aton, Zeus and Jupiter were not MONOTHEISTIC gods. And we did develop a number of polytheistic and pantheistic cultures here -- what led to the primary...
I thought Aton _was_ "the only god". I know the Sky Father (Deus, Theos, Dyaus-Pater, Jupiter, Zeus) wasn't, nor was the Earth Mother (Rhea, Gaia, Gea,...
... 'El' (literally: "god"/"God", "power") was the head god of the Canaanite/Semitic pantheon. The Canaanites had a death god named Mot or Mawt (literally:...
... I was mistaken in part -- He was not originally a monotheistic god, but an aspect of Ra, one of the Egyptian pantheon, but he did, under the rule of...
... No, in zoroastrian mythology, he was one of the yazata, a group of supernatural beings in between Ormazd and humans. In roman mythology, he was the god...
... Probably none of them were strictly monotheistic. I think it might be a terrible injustice to apply blanket statements like "this group of people were all...
NEW AMSTERDAM POST (Atlanta, Jacobia, NAL) The National Covenant Loyalist Committee begins its year-end meeting next week, amid considerable speculation over...
... By the way, the unusual spelling you've noted is due to an ancient series of areal sound changes. In the old languages of the Rum, [a] and [o] before a...
Between Real Life and a few other online time bandits, I haven't updated Henua's news page in a long while. This story comes from last July. There's at least...
