Astronomy and snus?

[GN Tobacco Sweden AB]

I have to intrests it is snus and Astronomy maybe There are some brothers and sisters who is intrested in Astronomy as well
1.For example Milky Way Galexy is 100000 light years
2.The star Canis Majoris is 27 000 000 000 times biger then our sun.
3. If it would be possible to fly to black hole and manage to fly around it and if one person would jump From spaceship to à black hole the person in speceship would Always see him in à the same position of foling But never touching it.....

I find astronomy absolutely depressing. The nearest star is Proxima Centauri. It's 4.2 lightyears away. Usingthe Ion Drive on Deep Space 1, Earth's fastest machine at 150,000 MPH, it would take us 17,900 years to get there. The drive is so slow, it would take almost 5,000 years to reach only 1/2 the speed of light.
The only way we'll reach the stars is warp drive, which of course technically impossible now. But at least scientists aren't completely laughing at that idea anymore. Which is a good sign.

Oh yeah, I like snus.

Give me just news on Astronomy and fried potatos and i am happiest person in warld My stomach and brein Will be just fine.
Do you belive that the nearest life to our planet Can be in Orion Nebula some 200 lightyears away From where they catched à signal in 1976?

[AtreyuKun]

Actually, the Orion Nebula is over 1,400 light years away. Whatever life that may have been there, would be extinct and turned to dust by the time we got there.
I'm telling you guys, this shit is depressing.

But they have catched the signal From 200 lightyears away

[AtreyuKun]

Perhaps the signal was intercepted at 200 light years? Maybe it had been traveling for 1,000's of year?
I don't know. I actually love astronomy so much. I really wish I had gone in that direction in school. I think I would have been good at it.

It's a fascinating subject. I watch the Science Channel all the time and try and catch anything involving the universe. Amazing some of the things they are finding out now and amazing the shear enormity of some of the objects out there! Gas clouds that are millions of light years across for instance stagger the imagination.

**** that shit...
It's cool and all, but it is slightly depressing. haha

[AtreyuKun]

Oh yeah man, it's totally depressing. In Star Trek, humans discovered faster than light travel in 2067. That's only 56 years away. If we don't destroy our planet first, it would probably be hundreds or years before we got to that point.

2. VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star and it is 2000 times bigger than our star. Not sure how you got all those extra zeros.
3. Partially true, but not completely. To the observer the falling person would appear to be moving slower and slower. And then the person (or object) would eventually just fade away.

I like astronomy. I don't know why people find it depressing, except for all the mysteries we'll never be able to know. And I love the idea that there could be all those planets out there unspoiled by humans.

Great topic, GN. I can't get enough of the cosmos. It is beyond fascinating when you start looking into it. It's all down to how you perceive things.

The only way i find it depressing is that i doubt there will be any manned missions to other planets, let alone galaxies in my lifetime. I would love to live to witness that. Beyond that, it all makes me feel great really.

When you consider that we are made of star dust; the carbon, iron, and even oxygen in our bodies were all formed in the center of a dying star that once it went supernova spread all of those molecules all over the universe into dust clouds that went on to form solar systems like ours. I don't see how that can be depressing in the least. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.

Lets get this thread back to more important issues please.

Now about sizes , and distance and nummers :
Once à general asks à soldier " solder how many stars There are on the sky?" solder answers " 3 346 210 564 stars on the sky SIR ." general looks at him suspicios and asks" are you kiding me solder?;(" -- " No sir " general asks " then From where you got thet Number ?;(" solder says " sir if you Do not belive you Can count by your self" .
Hahahaahahahahahaha
