quadruple star system...fucking fantactic!

a young star system with two sets of binary stars...

old new but new to me...

 

I think the suns will collide eventually.

Pretty damn cool.

 

that's awesome. i wanna go live there. i'll be one of the first colonists to the new planet. yipee!

 

yeah,
i havent been keeping up with this shit for a year and a half...astromomy, quantum physics and astro physics are sort of a hobby of mine...

 

Has anyone heard about the supernova that has a 1% chance of exploding and destroying all life on earth? Thats insane.

 

gamma bursts from an exploding supernova within twenty light years of earth could boil the oceans and lay waste to our world...no i havent heard of it...

 

i want one! i mean, ummmm

pretty, and cool, and i want a sci fi type movie where the world has stars like that in its system now!

 

the closest you're gonna get is pitch black with vin diesel...trinary star system...

 

yeah, and it was fun n all, but there wasnt exactly a great adaptation to the funky planet... what with all the bodies littering the ground...

 

yeah well...what can you do...haha!

 

Theoretically, if a solar system were to be formed in this quadruple star system, then wouldn't it make the chance at habitable worlds a little more likely?

Like, the first two stars would naturally produce more heat and light together than our one sun so the habitable zone would be a little farther no? Then sandwich that with two more stars of equal or greater brightness and heat and there would probably be a few habitable worlds. I suppose if this system had a system of planets like our own then Mars and Titan(A moon which orbits Saturn) would most likely be the habitable planets.

I dunno, just some nerdy babbling. Very interesting stuff nonetheless.

 

it makes the chance of ANY planets LESS likely, nor does MORE heat, automatically increase the chances of a planet harbouring life.

only the temperature range in which water is a liquid does that. at least for what we've seen of life and think we know about it.

perhapse some other liquid at some other temperature range could serve the internal transportation of celular neutrition in some potential and unfamiliar life forms.

it IS a big universe, and odder things then any of us have imagined ARE POSSIBLE. possible, though not UNIFORMLY likely.

but living on only one world in only one solar system, can we ever know what IS likely throughout the rest of the universe as long as we only do?

i strongly suspect that we do not.

=^^=
.../\...

 

i think it would make it less likely, but i could be wrong. weird gravitational circles and forces from the 4 suns could make it difficult for planets to form, let alone sustain life

 

I'm a big believer in this. There could be so many bizzare life forms out there. I also tend to scoff when astronomers always say water = life. Yeah, life forms like us. Who's to say that on some white dwarf there aren't beings completely made out of pure energy or some shit like that? I wouldn't know. I'm sure there's bacteria living on Mars, maybe even in the atmosphere of Venus.

Yeah, I didn't take into account the type of gravitational pull 4 stars would have on a planetary system sandwiched inbetween it.

 

isn't nasa supposed to making a big announcement of a huge discovery this thursday? i thought it was last thursday and was VERY ANNOYED that i didn't get my mental cookie.

 

yeah,
nasa found the youngest supernova remnant...its only about 150 years old...whooptyfuckingdoo...

 

shh. i find that fascinating. can you link me?

NEATO! thanks.

 

lol, major announcements should only be reserved for things like finding Earth like planets in alien systems.
