hahn: Yes bro. Every nation under the sun has all it takes to become influential and great, including ours. We all have the potential but our self awareness is still way below acceptable levels. We don't really STUDY. Our values are money - driven. And until a people pursue what brings others values and happiness, they will never be reach. There's little we can do about the old folks. We have to channel our energies to the younger ones. They're the future and the hope 2 Likes 2 Shares |

johnydon22:You are too small minded jor, science has eaten so deep into all your brain matter. On a more serious note though, science is beyond fascinating, I really wish our youths are interested/encouraged to thread it's path more. This thread is nostalgic for me, I remember my pals then in secondary school, how we used to try to derive formulas, carry out tests in the lab after school hours, argue on what will give what, if what is added to what, etc. Those were the days reading actually mattered, and all of a 'suddenly' , malpractice is the new cool, special centres became a thing of pride and the easy way out, just like that, many lost the zeal to really study/know. Inshort I don vex, Buhari should make me the minister for education and we will get back that lost glory, because na from secondary school e dey start. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Teempakguy:There is less chance that jupiter is all in a gaseous state.. the elements in Jupiter can contract and solidify under pressure, Jupiter in fact may have a solid crust . . .so i wouldn't count on tearing right through the middle of jupiter like some kind of gas ball... because you might as well hit the crust at that speed... we all know what follows next.. "Oh christ!!!... shiit am stuck in Jupiter!!!" since the moon has such a slow gravity, can I shoot a bullet up and it willMoon's gravity is 1.6m/s. . the weight of a body is the measure of the effect of the gravitational pull on the body... so a bullet weighing about 22grams here on earth is likely to weight about 2 or less in the moon. . it is likely to escape the moon's atmosphere at the neck breaking speed of bullets but if it doesn't . .it will be a very slow descent, and i mean real real slow Like you will have to wait your asss out until you be like "Fvck this shiit, fall anytime you like dummbass.." ... I don't know yet but it is plausible. . and would look like a very thick line cutting across the sky tho positions always will vary.. what if the moon had it's own moon?The effect of that will create a tilt in the moon's orbit around the earth and ultimately a clear shift in the earth's orbit around the sun as we know. . .it would also have effect on the earth as we know it now... But whatever wouldn't it be cool seeing two moons of different sizes in the night sky ? how big was the planet that formed the asteroid belt?Might be 6times the size of Jupiter, maybe more OR might be remnants of the debris during our planetary system formation.... 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYtXoUZbUCQ The spacecraft was a long way from home. I thought it would be a good idea, just after Saturn, to have them take one last glance homeward. From Saturn, the Earth would appear too small for Voyager to make out any detail. Our planet would be just a point of light, a lonely pixel hardly distinguishable from the other points of light Voyager would see: nearby planets, far off suns. But precisely because of the obscurity of our world thus revealed, such a picture might be worth having. It had been well understood by the scientists and philosophers of classical antiquity that the Earth was a mere point in a vast, encompassing cosmos—but no one had ever seen it as such. Here was our first chance, and perhaps also our last for decades to come. So, here they are: a mosaic of squares laid down on top of the planets in a background smattering of more distant stars. Because of the reflection of sunlight off the spacecraft, the Earth seems to be sitting in a beam of light, as if there were some special significance to this small world; but it's just an accident of geometry and optics. There is no sign of humans in this picture: not our reworking of the Earth's surface; not our machines; not ourselves. From this vantage point, our obsession with nationalisms is nowhere in evidence. We are too small. On the scale of worlds, humans are inconsequential: a thin film of life on an obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you've ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings; thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines; every hunter and forager; every hero and coward; every creator and destroyer of civilizations; every king and peasant, every young couple in love; every mother and father; hopeful child; inventor and explorer; every teacher of morals; every corrupt politician; every supreme leader; every superstar; every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there—on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings; how eager they are to kill one another; how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity—in all this vastness—there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the only home we've ever known. The pale blue dot. This is an excerpt from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space. It talks about the photo of the same name, Pale Blue Dot, taken by Voyager I on February 14, 1990.

TheDauraMallam:A wonderfully beautiful one my brother. . I only wish people knew the vastness of just the solar system talk less of the milky way or our local cluster forget the universe. . If they recognized the vastness of what is they will be humbled.. I have always affirmed that "The wealth of this world is not in what we take from it but what we give it because frankly we are the planet" |

johnydon22: Actually, no. This picture was taken in 1990. Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of the Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot 1 Like 1 Share |

freecocoa:don't fret, ma'am. we're on it totally. Actually, some others of our kind have found a primitive way to do it, we're just looking for more "optimized" options. johnydon22:Na wa oh. You people will not kill me with flattery. my brain is relatively normal Na. That being said, we probably can achieve a splitting if we soak the atoms in an electron sea. A magnetic container with a beta source in it. CO2 and a highly reactive metal would be passed into it. In the process, CO2 is ionized and split (theoretically.) And it will react with the metal to form a metallic oxide. Which can be later extracted for other use! On the Potter hand, we can just put the damn thiing to good use. Like it solar thermal or geothermal plants. After all, it's such a good fan of keeping things hot. |

Mhizkel should come along too But wait ooh, I have never heard of a second visit to the earth's moon., NASA use to be curious... 1967 is a long way... or do we have life forms on it?

bqlekan:There have been six manned moon landing since 1969 to 1972 and they have been a total of 12 astronauts to ever walk on the moon and they later missions used a moon rover for easier mobility. They have been several unmanned landings too of which Russia and China also hold spots in the list. So there have been other moon landings after Apollo 11 and huge plans are on going now according to Nasa to see man back to the moon, not just for few hours like all the other landings we have but for months, that's why it's taking long cus facilities and equipments needs to be ready.. 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22:I can be a bit troublesome atimes brother.. but wait, 1972 is a long way off, how long does it take to prepare new horizons for Pluto exploration? Why years for our closest body..? Some believe these other missions are just hoax. I wouldn't believe that tho.. I searched and found no tangible reason.. there should be a base of operation on the moon by now. Or what do you think? |
Re: Solar System Planet Count Down With Pictures by johnydon22(m): 11:57am On Aug 27, 2015 |
bqlekan:Lmao. . . Man is making living facilities to stay on the moon for up to months and you are comparing such life sustaining facilities with an unmanned space probe like New Horizons. This is like asking why another Rover has not been dropped on Mars since the curiosity Rover. Like i said above the next mission to the moon will not be to stay few hours like the previous missions but rather months and there is no disputing the herculean facilities (life sustaining) needed for that. China successfully landed an unmanned craft on the moon as recent as last two years (2013) so you could see the recent moon landings we have. China as well as Nasa are working on Manned landings hopefully you will get to see one before 2020 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22:hehe, 2 yearsago, it was an unmanned satellite. I was being a bit curios when no came over some clips on YouTube bou reasons why NASA didn't go back to the moon.. New horizons had to travel for over 9 years else the comparison I made... anyway thanks for the explanations.. 1 Like 1 Share |
