Lots of bodies in the solar system have water in the form of water ice, as well as others like methane and nitrogen ices.

If you have the sensitivity and can forego a long focal length you generally want a WFOV for survey (search a lot of sky quickly), and when you find a signal then switch to longer focal length NFOV to zoom in and study in detail.

Depends on what you want to look for and how far away it is. Some of the new planet surveyors are WFOV because they want to search large chunks of the sky for planets around stars in our own Galaxy. You don't necessarily need a large mirror for that. You'd want large mirrors for long distance...

FOV is a function of focal length, not primary mirror diameter. Mirror diameter directly affects sensitivity, bigger mirrors gather more light. Coupled with larger focal plane sensors you can get better spatial resolution with a larger mirror, but the FOV will still be set by the focal length...

I'm fully aware of how investing works and Buffetts S&P advice, which is why my own retirement accounts are S&P index fund heavy. This isn't about throwing money away randomly. It is about risk assessment and management. Spending $100 and using a small capital account to see if I can realize...

Making money is fun. Supplementing income and standard retirement accounts through some trading on the side is the goal. If this works it may get a lot more of my time and capital.

Isn't that all this is anyway? Vapor and buzz words cloaking the reality that you're just gambling? I was looking for something a little more fun than buying single stocks and holding them until they profit. This seems to be a strategy you can use in any market. Guess I'll find out.

The subscription is for access to his signals. He is a hedge fund trader and says he trades in his fund using the technique. So I signed up for a 1-month subscription for $97 so if it is snake oil my loss is negligible. Gives access to the webinar and 1-month access to his signals. It's a...

Brofist, for science.

New frontiers in astronomy is the big takeaway. They were able to measure the velocities, masses, and mass energy conversion in one observation of the resultant gravity waves. They also believe they can use this technique to observe further back into the past, possibly even before the...

Charge. Both positive and negative exist in nature. Change the sign of one you have to change the sign of the other.

I'm not going to engage him in his fantasy any longer. He made the assertion that gravity fields act at infinite speed. It's on him to prove it by providing mathematical proof, an equation, a paper, anything that can be reviewed. He just keeps avoiding the truth though, and goes further down...

Still waiting for that EFE solution set that shows unequivocal proof that gravity fields interact at infinite speed. Let me know when you find it.

Particles are just point sources, mass is just one attribute of them, others being spin and charge.

Show us. Show us the equation that demonstrates gravity fields travel with infinite velocity. Slowly evolving, ie near steady state, quasi static. Too slow to see relativistic effects, like the finite velocity of propagation. As I said before, Newtonian gravity is a simplification of...

You don't know what a field is. A vector field is a distribution of a physical property throughout a given space. Over here it's pointed in this direction at this magnitude, over there it is pointed in that direction at that magnitude. Let's do a thought experiment. Let's use...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity Keep on keepin' on dipshit. Wanna illuminate us on the extent of your mathematical background, since you're so sure you understand it? My education stopped at vector calculus and diff eq, but I'm sure you have a fundamental understanding of...

That and the fact that even after the LIGO press release he still professed gravity is instantaneous. Idiot.

Generally fuel prices are extremely reactionary when going up, because fuel retailers and heavy use industries like trucking and airlines have to buy the next delivery, so they have to make up the difference with the current fuel inventory. Then on the way down they lag considerably since it is...

Wrong. You are dumb. Stop trying to co-opt and bastardize the scientific method to fit your preconceived notion about how the universe works. Educate yourself, because your breed of stupid is a parasite that infects all of humanity. Boom!Einstien's Field Equations (EFE)describe General...

Shit you are dumb. How is it so possible to be so stupid when the answers are only a google or wiki click away?

You are a dumbass who was wrong. So sit there in your wrongness and know you were and continue to be wrong. You said there are many different "parts to Relativity". You are wrong. There are einsteins field equations which define the entire theory, from which you can derive simplifications...

Yea, let's give it sticky privilege. Then all the other threads will be jealous of it. This thread can then call all the rest lazy SJWs and tell them all to "get a job and stop stealing my hard earned bits".

But did it create itself?

Because Tuco said so.

It's finally over, and apparently they also nabbed Cliven Bundy himself. http://news.yahoo.com/occupiers-oreg...63855170.html#

He said he paid $500 to start and around $80 a month. There's 5 hours of videos to watch then he gives you daily trade strategies if you keep your subscription up.

http://paydaystocks.com/ Using their Time Warp strategies. He's now up $1500, he actually started in earnest in December, and he's never leveraged more than $2500.

One of my coworkers started doing diagonal options spreads on the side to supplement income. A short term call (~one or two day contract), covered by a long term call (~1 week contract). You set the short term contract price higher, lower, or at the strike price depending on where you think...

Get pulled over right near the start. Take off about 8 min in. Hit the roadblock at 9:11, and almost take out an officer (but it looks almost like he jumps into their path). Lavoy jumps out immediately, hands in the air, but appears not to be listening to orders, reaches in his jacket and...

Iannis is pointed in the right direction about what CMB technically is from our understanding today. I disagree though with the inferences you can make prior to its appearance in the universe's past. It is a horizon that is predicted by some inflationary theories. Inflation has been pretty...

There is a lot wrong with your understanding of the CMB, and your previous post on fundamental physics "changing" to try to explain the big bang. Older theories in physics are simpler ones that can't explain higher energy phenomena or smaller scale structure, the corner cases or edges of...

People can only vote the bracket given. So seeding determines the outcome almost as much as the voting. And your seeding methodology sucked. It gave no consideration to asshat density, the ability to pour on thick amounts of asshattery with very few posts. But all that aside it should have...

That you didn't seed lumi and Merlin properly to allow them to face off in the final shows just how much of a sham all this was. a_skeleton_03 only sometimes shit up one thread. Lumi and Merlin always shit up multiple threads, pretty much every thread they posted in, and with pretty much every...

Jesus doesn't drink till after 9am on Sundays if he's in PA. But if he's in MN he doesn't drink at all on Sunday.

I'm happy the unwashed masses don't realize that the majority of the state are normal people that hate the inane laws our legislature tries to pass, but glad that it keeps you all away. Keep thinking we are all xenophobes living in an endless desert...

Move to AZ. We laugh at the rest of you rubes while you're springing forward and falling back.

What's the over/under on number of cars that finish the first race? My guess is 10. With the season component limits I'm guessing any trouble with any single piece will push teams to retire as opposed to running the full duration at reduced power and risking damaging other components. ERS...
