February 22, 20179 yr It's becoming a habit this. It'll be the Socialist Worker next - mark my words! :-) I do indulge in an occasional sneaky peek for a laugh. I find the style of prose, language and terminology hasn't changed since the 70's. They also politicise the most innocent of things. Edited February 22, 20179 yr by bgoefc
February 22, 20179 yr Fascinating stuff. A good article here: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/feb/22/thrilling-discovery-of-seven-earth-sized-planets-discovered-orbiting-trappist-1-star As usual, it booted off recently between Trappist-1-f and Trappist-1-h in the Dwarfsun's Paint Trophy game. 1-h took liberties in a boozer near the tidally-locked zone and called in a result via sub-space radio; they regretted it not long after though. Pissing sulphuric acid for a week after that they were. Bad news for Trappist-1-f in the end unfortunately; their famous giant killing win (literally - Trappist-1-h lads are 100 ft tall and made of beryllium) was marred when their reserve keeper got filmed eating an arachnid from Trappist-1-b in direct violation of both the Trappist league betting rules, and Trappist-1-b's human rights act. Trappist-1-b's ambassador launched a formal complaint, but then they ate the cunt. Recently elected Trappist-1-c president Donald Trap used this as a chance to energise his pledge to build a Dyson Sphere round Trappist-1-b. "It's going to be a beautiful sphere...and they'll pay for it". When it was pointed out that building such a sphere would not make much difference to 1-b but would fuck 1-c as no light would reach it, and so they'd all be screwed, he called it "fake news". And then ate the reporter.

February 23, 20179 yr Are you a Scientologist by any chance? He's wiser than that. I'm intrigued by a beryllium life form though.
November 22, 20178 yr there's an asteroid shaped like a massive spliff floating around in the solar system that come from another system nasa's official description is "cigar", but they mean spliff https://www.nasa.gov/feature/solar-system-s-first-interstellar-visitor-dazzles-scientists

Well worth a follow on FS if you don't already.

That could be anything. NASA could put up a close up picture of a cream cracker and say its the surface of planet Ace Ventura.
November 24, 20178 yr I've said it before and I'll say it again. That could be anything. NASA could put up a close up picture of a cream cracker and say its the surface of planet Ace Ventura. Its an artists impression, so it could well be "anything". Resembles a piece of coal for me.
November 28, 20178 yr made us chuckle: https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/934906611088359426 A Lunar Eclipse flat-Earther’s have never seen.
November 28, 20178 yr made us chuckle: https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/934906611088359426 A Lunar Eclipse flat-Earther’s have never seen. I'd say I'm fairly open minded but just can't fathom how anyone in this day and age believes the Earth is flat.
November 28, 20178 yr I'd say I'm fairly open minded but just can't fathom how anyone in this day and age believes the Earth is flat. I had a 'debate' with a fully paid up member of the flat earth society the other week in the pub, absolutely fckin bonkers he was! My gast was that flabbered by the end I even left without paying my tab!!
November 28, 20178 yr We are all living in a Truman Show world. Don't believe anything you are being told.
September 28, 20196 yr Lad has just been reading about preon stars and planck stars. New, theoretical jobs, that make neutron stars seem like feathers. Something for Kent to get his head round.

January 22, 20206 yr Anybody else got one eye on Betelgeuse? Possible - although very unlikely supernova. We can hope though! Edited January 22, 20206 yr by kent_white

Fuckin ell just been talking to my little lad about it. We’ve made his bedroom in to a little space den. Loves it all. Betelgeuse isn’t his favourite massive star so he’s not arsed. He’s more of a KY Scuti fan
