Forget about that comet. The real problem is all the methane you guys are releasing!
the Kuiper belt is a haven of icy, leftover debris from our planets' construction 4.6 billion years ago, containing millions of objects
So that's where the missing socks went...
Forget about that comet. The real problem is all the methane you guys are releasing!
The James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled to be launched, October 2021 will have a primary mirror of 6.5 meters (21.3255 feet)in diameter. The Hubble has a primary mirror of 2.4 meters (7.87402 feet) in diameter. Think of the detail the James Webb will have with its 6.25 times more collecting area! Also, the James Webb has tremendous infra red capabilities (from 0.6 to 28 micrometers) while the Hubble studies objects in the ultraviolet spectrum. As the James Webb studies further into the cosmos, light shifts into the infrared spectrum.
That doesn’t jibe with what I understood about the Trojan points. I thought the Trojan points were where the Sun, planetary, and moons gravity cancelled each other out and the objects in them were locked in place. So how can Jupiter throw the comet out again?
Just passin’ through:
“Simulations show that in about 500,000 years, there’s a 90% probability that this object will be ejected from the solar system and become an interstellar comet.”
Braking thrust.
Comet makes a pit stop. Must be a galactic Flying J in that debris field.
