the sky & Beyond: Halloween comet passing by

[Lemon Cheesecake]

It's not always easy when what is being presented to you as fact is not but that's why we need to do our own research and not just blindly accept what we are told.

[Bassy]

I look up most things I see on Facebook because there’s a lot of misinformation people believe in. I see it in there then I do research to see more info about it because I have seen quite a few lying posts that I can’t believe people post.

Nice! Love to hear that! Ya, sometimes I can't believe what people come up with, even more can't believe that they actually believe some of the stuff they post.

Speaking of the sky... MandJTV made another Team Sky video

SpaceX engine floating chaotically since Feb 2015 is estimated to crash into the moon in March 2022.

Is that bad?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

No idea, but it will mean we are making the moon a dump site in my opinion ... although in the future I guess there would be scrap metal to use if someone got stranded on the moon!

I believe it is suppose to crash on the dark side so it is unlikely we will see it from Earth.

Icy

So instead of dumping stuff in the ocean, we're dumping it on the moon? SMH my head

[galled]

I think there's more to it. My understanding is the rocket malfunctioned and is hitting the moon after floating around for years. No one directed it there. Don't get me wrong, pollution is bad anywhere (except perhaps the sun!), but better on the moon than floating space junk that big.

I supposeeeee

And if the Moon suddenly becomes the stage for a real life video game where you need to gather materials to survive, it might come in handy!

Lunar eclipse counts as sky and beyond, yet it is not being discussed here, tsk tsk

[Lemon Cheesecake]

so long as it doesn't fall on you.

<shakes off thread>

Meteor shower tonight! 1 am ET or 10 pm PT


"NASA said if all goes well, the best time to view the meteor shower will be around 1 a.m. ET Tuesday or 10 p.m. PT Monday.

[+] SPOILER

“This is going to be an all-or-nothing event,” Bill Cooke said, who leads NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. “If the debris from SW3 was traveling more than 220 miles per hour when it separated from the comet, we might see a nice meteor shower. If the debris had slower ejection speeds, then nothing will make it to Earth and there will be no meteors from this comet."

I prefer to shower with water and not meteors, tbh
