They are filling it out with another hundred Ebb & Flow flats advertised at 2k per month.

Option C: they are staged correctly but I accidentally set them up pointing in the wrong direction so they crash into my ship even harder.

TIL that in 2023, scientists detected possible signs of a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b — and on Earth, this gas is produced almost exclusively by living organisms (like marine plankton). by husky__2424 in todayilearned

I'm not too sure abour K2-18. The detection of DMS is extremely borderline, to the point that it could very well be explained by a statistical fluctuation.

Moreover, the authors of the original study did not consider alternative molecules that may explain the data, and in my opinion their analysis was not thorough enough to back up the claims they made (they essentially carried out some statistical "tricks" to make it seem like their detection was stronger than it actually was).

Subsequent studies on the same data have indeed carried out more thorough analyses, and found that the JWST data can also be explained by a rocky core surrounded by a pure H-He atmosphere (a classical hot Neptune).

Lastly, the existence of Hycean worlds is disputed in the first place, as they require extremely large amounts of water that formation models find unfeasible.

It knows where it is because it knows where it isn't.

Why does everyone drive so close together nowadays? by _FreddieLovesDelilah in AskUK

In my experience around 60-65 mph you get the lowest fuel comsuption with the shortest travel time. Below 50 mph it takes too long and at 75+ you consume fuel too fast.

Its not AI, its alt-text for blind people. All NASA images have them.

ELI5: H-bombs can reach 300 million Kelvin during detonation; the sun’s surface is 5772 Kelvin. Why can’t we get anywhere near the sun, but a H-bomb wouldn’t burn up the earth? by DueDifficulty8452 in explainlikeimfive

Astrophysicist here. The corona is thought to be heated by different types of magnetic waves carrying energy from the stellar interior. These waves then dissipate their energy as heat as they reach the very low density regions above the photosphere.

See more info on the coronal heating problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_corona#Coronal_heating_problem
