Ping!.................

...However, it’s likely that the material has slowed down since the initial explosion ...

Why?..................

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Red Badger. I suggest hitting the snooze button when something like this happens. And if that doesn't work, anyone in the immediate area just stay in bed.

From the article:
>>>>These results imply that some of the blast wave has crashed into dense gas around the remnant, causing it to slow down as it traveled.

Running into the very thin hydrogen distribution found throughout mostly empty space over a long period of time and through very great distances.

[Red Badger]

I doubt that the hydrogen presented a very difficult object to overcome. About like a freight train and a mosquito................

In its orbit around the galaxy, our Sun periodically crosses into dust lanes swept up by the galaxy's electromagnetic forces.

The dust acts as a blanket, trapping a percentage of the Sun's light, this warms the solar surface enough to kick fusion into overdrive and trigger a solar micronova.

That's pretty catastrophic for Earth. Survivable for the lucky and prepared, but a major disaster nonetheless.

The periodicity is about 12,000 years.

The last one was about 12,000 years ago...

It probably slows down due to collision with stationary gas clouds and due to gravitational forces with material from the same star that travelled in different directions.

At some point, Sol will become a Red Giant and consume EVERYTHING all the way out to the orbit of MARS.
The Earth and everything man has ever done will become Dust in the Wind..........................................

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks, I’ll check out that book. Periodicity though is just a uniformitarian gradualist version of catastrophism. :^)

Hey, I think there's song in there somewhere.

[SunkenCiv]

I guess this means I don’t need to pay for perpetual care in my prepaid funeral arrangements.

There’s always the ‘Burying in Space’ option..................

“Running into the very thin hydrogen distribution found throughout mostly empty space over a long period of time and through very great distances.”

Yes. Well said. Even thin hydrogen distribution can be an obstacle over long periods of time and great distances.

[SunkenCiv]

Getting remains shot into the Sun for instant cremation will become a thing.

When the star consumed those planets, did LIBERALS say ‘Trump’s Fault we needed more taxes... ‘ 🤓
