CROWDED EXTRA SOLAR SYSTEM

Well it had been awhile since I posted in here! There are reasons and I will not get into them right now.

But there has been done very exciting announcements in the world of Astronomy and this one in particular spurred me into writing a post!

Would be a lot easier off the blogger ago was any good but it is not and difficult and badly designed.

So we have a solar system based on a dwarf star with seven planets found so far and interestingly all of which are closer to the host star than those in our own solar system?!

I long to know the mechanics of planetary positions thought different ages and phases of a solar system. I have long wondered if the possibility that the planets within a system get pushed out and pulled in when a star shifts from one phase to another. Like our own Sun, Solar, going from its yellow current phase to a red giant? Or a red giant turning into a dwarf star and do on and so forth.

This would obviously be different for certain star systems because, dependent on the mass of the host star, they might not reach certain stages. For instance a brown dwarf star is really a start that failed so could be argued is not a star at all. Our Sun well not turn into a black hole and so on and so forth.

Over time as more systems are discovered that play host to a planetary system and each of these bodies with there mass, size and position pinpointed a pattern, or patterns, should start to emerge? Maybe they already are add the number of planets known outside the solar system recently shot quickly to over 1000!

Very cool indeed and I cannot wait fir the James Webb Telescope to be raised into its eventual orbit! Not only will the objects know be quite high by then but this telescope will increase their discovery at a vastly increased rate. It should also provide more in the way of detail and data too?!

Good times, or at least will be soon and I must remember to have a look to see if there are any books specifically on Exoplanets?

MORPHING METAL CUBES

...umm blocks in disguise?!

Lol.

Another discovery are these self assembling blocks that can be parted and they then recognise each other, close in to each other and self assemble?!

Johnny Five will be sleeping a lot better from now on?! Lol.

To get an idea think, not literally mind you, of the liquid that made up the bad guy Terminator played by Robert Patrick, I think his name is, where it gathers together after being blown apart.

Gadgets that fix themselves?! I want a remote control helicopter built with these?! Well maybe in several years when they have shrunk down to a hundredth of their current size...at a guess, lol.

MORPHING METAL STRUCTURES

...ROBOTS IN DISGUISE!! Lol.

Well this is a really exciting discovery! Yes despite everything I mentioned and have as well as am being put through on a certain other blog I can STILL get excited about breakthroughs in science!

Now along with a couple of previous discoveries, one being Graphene, and another to follow this blog I think we may be on the verge of a new era?!

Memory metal that does not suffer fatigue from overuse?! Can be quite thin and combined with Graphene...well dreamy and world changing in its potential!!

I remember from couple years back they also improved the solar cell four fold, though not seen evidence of its availability yet commercially.

Nano-bots and robotics have been taking leaps forward and clear acrylics as strong  as steal, derivatives no doubt used on smart phones?! 

Many imaginations will be running riot before very long and a whole heap of previously thought of as science fiction will become science fact in a short space of time! Within the next five years if idiot governments and military regimes stop meddling for power, control and money that is, lol.

Here is a link...


Now for the next one seen on the same evening...
