| "HUBBLE REVEALS TWO DUST DISKS AROUND NEARBY STAR (STScI-PR06-25)"
|
| prompted a look at this site:
|
| http://www.solstation.com/stars2/beta-pic.htm
|
| and thought it appropriate to the discussion.
|
| It identifies a star 'Beta Pictoris'
| 'only 20 to 200 million years old at most'
| with two dust discs as observed by the Hubble telescope.
|
| *******************
| Beta Pictoris is a bluish white main sequence dwarf star of spectral and
| luminosity type A5 V, but has been previously classified as A3. It is also
| classified as a "shell star" because it is surrounded by a shell of mostly
| hydrogen gas. The star may have about 1.75 times Sol's mass, 1.4 times its
| diameter, and 8.7 times its luminosity. The star may be as enriched than
Sol
| with elements heavier than hydrogen ("metallicity"), based on its
abundance of
| iron (Heap et al, 1995). It appears to be only 20 to 200 million years old
at most.
| *******************
|
| Much older stars such as our own do not have this dust disc character.
|
| Could it be that the dust particles
| (with their large area to mass ratios as compared to planetary objects)
| experience the anomalous deceleration in a more pronounced manner than
| the Pioneer spacecraft and consequently spin into the star or orbiting
planets.
| Our solar system is essentially dust free.
| Perhaps, it did not have to be that way
| but for the anomalous deceleration effect.
|
| No doppler effects are noted from the spinning 'Beta Pictoris' dust disc.

I wonder why?
ROFLMAO!

| I wonder if such data is obtainable.
| Could the dust anomalous deceleration be observed directly
| as observed by doppler shift of reflected light
| as compared to calculated gravitational trajectory?

You may catch on someday, Richard, but it will take a lot of research
and an old, long forgotten paradigm.

This is the story of a scientific crime. I mean a crime committed by a
scientist against fellow scientists and scholars, a betrayal of the ethics
and integrity of his profession that has forever deprived mankind of
fundamental information about an important area of astronomy and history.
Einstein developed certain astronomical theories and discovered that they
were not consistent with observation. Instead of abandoning the theories, he
deliberately fabricated observations from the theories so that he could
claim that the observations prove the validity of his theories. In every
scientific or scholarly setting known, this practice is called fraud, and it
is a crime against science and scholarship.
