    • @adolfodef
      @adolfodef 5 месяцев назад +1

      [Technically speaking]: It is not like we will "lost all contact" by 2025, but rather it would not be able to perform "useful work" anymore (as a scientist instrument).
      . The sensors & 2 of the 3 main computers could be shutdown to save power (then only the transmitter will keep "beeping" towards Earth). This can possible extend its "lifetime" as a mere "beacon" for many decades.
      -> It still needs to "listen" from Earth from time to time, to correct any minor deviations on the directionality of its high gain antenna [otherwise it may not be able to "hear" any corrections anymore, hence drifting aimlessly].

      I once read a story about a space ship's long voyage to our nearest star. Generations were born, lived their entire life aboard the craft and died. After many generations, the ship finally arrives, only to find a welcoming party awaiting them. Technology had improved so much since the ship's initial launch that better and much faster ships had gone on ahead of them, and gave the finally arriving ship a hearty welcoming! BHE

      Yeah you’re correct that they aren’t actual structures in space, but when we say an object in space “passes through” a constellation we are actually referring to how it appears to move across these patterns from our viewpoint. It’s just a convenient way to describe the movement relative to the patterns even though there is no actual passage through a physical structure if that makes sense.

    The Great Red Spot is where internal heat from Jupiter’s core rises up and reaches the surface I think not from energy from planetary contractions but from some sort of nuclear fusion occurring on the surface of a mostly metallic solid core generating enough heat to also drive the Jovian weather belts.

      There was some article that came out a couple of years ago that was written I believe some astrophysicist or astronomer and it mentioned that any extraterrestrial life that visits us will likely be robots or AI probes built by some likely extinct alien species. Almost doubt that humans would be able to travel beyond the Solar System because of our nature. We're evolved to live and hunt on the East African Plain of 2 million years ago and that's what our brains and bodies are adapted for. We'd, as a species, be doing things that we're not evolved to do. Living inside the confines of a spaceship for most of your life, living in a space suit (earth-like planets are VERY rare) for whatever planet or moon we visit, everyone on board would have to get along, don't want any narcissists or sociopaths in the crew (everyone would have to be good-natured and care about each other), and the further from Earth or human base we get away from, the longer it would take for communication to travel and hopefully, the spaceship doesn't blow up or something goes wrong or someone onboard goes crazy...you're screwed. But then again, the explorers went through that in the 1500's in the oceans. See where this goes.
