Thread: Inner Sphere text - possible revision?
Post: RE: Inner Sphere text - possible revision?
With all due respect, if you have a vendetta against constellations (which I mean, valid) there would need to be a lot of stuff that would need to be changed.
But at the same time, whether you like... |

Thread: Achernar
Post: RE: Achernar
So the 8.6 g/cc value seemed off, as high mass stars typically have very low average densities, so I did some math of my own.
Using the volume of an elipsoid, with radii a, b, and c being 9.16, 9.1... |

Thread: White Dwarf article update
Post: RE: White Dwarf article update
well just because these elements *might* be meaningfully enriched on the surface, doesn't mean they will be incorporated into the biota. After all, if life just used whatever we'd be silicon based. |

Again, I feel I must reiterate the point that these are two separate systems. The red dwarf(s) are not part of the Alpha Eridani system. They are admittedly fairly close, but neither unusually or usef... |

So a couple of things.
Firstly, 2MASS J01375879−5645447 is known to not be a part of the system, and should not be treated as such. They are both part of the same comoving group, which contains man... |

ngl I just figured it was a bastardization of Oh-F*ck, with the asterisk being interpreted as 'star' and a 4 slipping in there somehow (possibly due to its classification as an F4 star)
But also, I... |

So the density and organization of rings is different to that of belts, but the overall description of them can be nearly identical. The only real distinction you'd need to add is whether its a ring o... |

Yes, we do already have a category for those.
But that being said, it still makes far more sense to treat rings as belts. Being able to seperately list their inner and outer bounds, mass, and roug... |
