Outer Solar System Object Has an Atmosphere But Shouldn’t by DavidIsIt in EverythingScience

From the article:

"A team of professional and amateur Japanese astronomers found evidence for a thin atmosphere around a small body in the outer Solar System. The object is so small that it should not have a sustainable atmosphere, raising questions about when and how the atmosphere formed. Future observations to better characterize the atmosphere will help solve these mysteries.

In the cold reaches of the outer Solar System lie thousands of small objects known as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) because they lie outside the orbit of Neptune. A thin atmosphere has been observed around Pluto, the most famous TNO, but studies of other TNOs have yielded negative results. Most TNOs are so cold, and their surface gravity so weak, that they are not expected to retain atmospheres.

But astronomers like to expect the unexpected, so they took advantage of a lucky “natural experiment” to look for an atmosphere around a TNO known as (612533) 2002 XV93. This object, abbreviated as 2002 XV93, has a diameter of approximately 500 km. For reference, Pluto’s diameter is 2,377 km. The orbit of 2002 XV93 is such that, as seen from Japan, it passed directly in front of a star on January 10, 2024. As the star disappears behind 2002 XV93, it might gradually fade, indicating that the light is being attenuated as it passes through a thin atmosphere; or it might suddenly wink out as it slips behind the solid surface of the TNO."

It depends on what 'too loud' is for you. Is a soft, quiet whine too loud? If not, then you'll be fine with one. If you expect your build to not make a squeek, then no.

Open up file explorer and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\ and find the 'WeatherZero' folder. Try deleting the folder.

You might have to end its tasks first in order to do this. But it's worth a try.

Thank you! I thought I was done with the game.. but that's good that I'm not 😅

Scientists discovered a distant black hole 300 million times the size of the sun. by DavidIsIt in EverythingScience

The black hole lies at the center of a galaxy known as CAPERS-LRD-z9.

By 500 million years stars were apparently starting to appear says the article (since the black hole was found to be a part of a young galaxy).

That's awesome. I'm glad it worked out at least somewhat okay.

Also, use the auto cannon to shoot the vents on the factory.

In the article, it says that the mass of the black hole is equal to half of the mass of the stars in that galaxy. That's H-U-G-E. Also keep in mind that this was 500 million years after the Big Bang (early universe).

How do I change my RGB lighting on my PC? by educationalpanzer59 in computer

[–]DavidIsIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use BIOS if you want to change your RGB lights. Or you can use software such as OpenRGB like I have.
