>> [_] John Moses Browning 3120294 I expected more planets and not such ear destroying music
>> [_] Anon 3120325 I expected the planets to collide and our solar system to end. Is that too much to ask?
>> [_] Anon 3120332 So what is it?
>> [_] Anon 3120371 >># i've never seen one. no one has.
>> [_] Anon 3120382 Is the distance based on the body's center point or closest edge? For Jupiter that'd be a difference of something like 40,000 miles.
>> [_] Anon 3120385 >># Hey! I missed the discussion!
>> [_] Anon 3120395 >># So what is it?
>> [_] Anon 3120396 >># Only joking.

>> [_] Anon 2962222 I feel actual fear as Jupiter shows up.
>> [_] Anon 2962238 >># Same. That's some end of the world shit right there. >tfw playing space engine for the first time and realizing just how large the universe is

>> [_] Anon 2962258 So how does the Earth revolve around itself
>> [_] Anon 2962259 >># Giant mirror
>> [_] Anon 2962273 >># Earth's barycenter isn't at the center of the planet because the moon and the rest of the solar system tug on it. So the earth wobbles as it spins and it spins because of a giant impact event several billion years ago which created the moon As the moon flies away from the earth, bit by bit, it slows the earth's rotation down, like a windup toy In 13 billion years the moon will finally finish drifting away from the earth, but by then the sun will have gone and turned into a red supergiant and consumed the planet as it dies. Life on earth has about 1-3 billion years left before the sun's solar output increases (on its way to supergiant phase) and turns the planet into a scorched barren desert. That's okay though because in about 3 trillion years the last star will die anyways after all existing gas has been exhausted and a few hundred trillion years after that there will only be transient radiation and black holes.
>> [_] Anon 2962278 >># And even then the black holes would eventually disappear
>> [_] Anon 2962301 I was actually expecting OP's mom to orbit by, or dickbutt.
>> [_] Anon 2962304 >># Does this actually surprise anyone? Learn some space facts god damn.
>> [_] Anon 2962311 >># Yeah, even though I know what to expect it makes me feel really queasy. Warping close to planets in eve does it too. >># That's exactly what this is for. Some people don't, and if it weren't for this even less would.
>> [_] Anon 2962330 What's with the stressful music? I get it the planets are big, but jupiter isn't a fucking evil monster.
>> [_] Anon 2962332 That was kinda cool
>> [_] Anon 2962335 >># I think if it was that close, it's gravity would suck us in.. I could be wrong though
>> [_] Anon 2962338 >># Depends on the velocity of the orbit. Our immediate problem would be tides.
>> [_] Anon 2962343 The perspective of this is actually wrong, see the original source about it: https://vimeo.com/19231255 >NOTE: THE FOLLOWING VIDEO DOES NOT REPRESENT THE ENTIRE NIGHT SKY, or at least it doesn't anymore. I've updated the video to omit the foreground landscape in an effort to account for an error in perspective. Unfortunately, due to my error, websites are widely reporting that Jupiter would fill the entire night sky, but it wouldn't. What's depicted here is a much narrower perspective than the previously mentioned 62 degrees, something that I imagine could be calculated by people much brighter than I. I imagine this view is closer to what you'd see through some very weak binoculars, but that's just a guess. For a somewhat technical explanation of what was wrong with the original version of this video, and what that realization can teach us about skepticism, please read the following: bradblogspeed.com/im-bad-at-math
>> [_] Anon 2962347 >># The Jupiter/Earth Roche Limit is about 55,000km. It would be possible to form a stable orbit around Jupiter given the right conditions, but the radiation from Jupiter and tidal forces would certainly fuck any chance of sustaining a biosphere.
>> [_] Anon 2962348 >># There's such a thing called Megalophobia
>> [_] Anon 2962357 >>>2962222 >># I felt sick and wanted to start crying when Jupiter was coming. I know what would happen. >># It IS an evil fucking monster. Read up on Jupiter. Gravity so strong, nothing can make even halfway to the surface without being crushed and compacted. Diamonds are literally flying around Jupiter because the heat and pressure are so great.
>> [_] Anon 2962363 >># Jupiter is total bro and protects us from asteroids though.
>> [_] Anon 2962381 >># When you have a gigantic radioactive bear roaming the area around your home, you want it to stay out there eating muggers, not making itself cozy in your front yard eyeing your dog with hungry eyes from the other side of the window.
>> [_] Anon 2962392 Needs more Majora's Mask moon.
>> [_] Anon 2962400 I can't imgaine how crazy the world would be if we could see another inhabited planet from where our's is. Like, thousands of years people would look into the sky and think "One day we'll come for them cunts"
