Not hard for me to wake up in the morning thinking about potatoes,and
mainly there shape. In space my mind relates to Mars moons Phobos,and Deimos. they are asteroids. and are 10,and 5 miles across. The reason they are not globular,or even close,is obvious they don't have a strong enough gravity pull to overcome the rigidity of their structure. When cooling from a liquid state(very fast) they took on the shape of a potato.(why I don't know) We know Ceres is the largest asteroid about 650 miles across.Hmmm That is about one third the size of out moon. Don't have a picture of it. How round is it? Do have a picture of Ida its only about one mile in diameter and a long potato. I study this picture very often. For its size let me tell you it has to be the most craters in the asteroid world. Right now I'm counting craters inside a big crater,and have come up with 17 That tells me Ida has been around for a long time.It was one of the first objects to come out of the solar system's accretion disk. Reality is it has made this area its permanent home from the beginning. The asteroid belt keep in mind could be the Earth's ark enemy. Ceres hitting the Earth at 250 miles per second would blow it apart. Trebert |

Just a thought. nightbat This is so deep and interesting, Darla did indicate the Seans have a hidden space platform somewhere out there from which to observe Earth activities and solar system goings on, hmmmmmmm potato shaped Phobos and Deimos, interesting. But Trebert indicated potato shaped why, oh why, is Mark right? Or were these just asteroids caught in Mars grasp long long ago? We need answers that only profound thinkers can provide, carry on. pondering always, the nightbat |

Nightbat Seems potato is the shape for rock objects that are of small
size,say 25 miles across. Double-A tells me Ceres is pretty round and that is 650 miles in diameter. Then we have Mathilde and its rather round and has a diameter of 29 miles. All asteroids I have pictures of have a great amount of old craters. Nightbat this interests me "the asteroid Ida has a satellite called Dactyl" Ida is very potato shaped,and that to me would mean having Dactyl in orbit around it should be very tricky in finding their mutual gravitational area.(go figure) Now Ida has such a weak force and can hold a moon to orbit has to tell us something profound It might help tell us more about our Moon,and how the Earth acquired it?? Asteroids need a lot more thinking about. They have an ancient history,and I love reading about ancient history. I'll end the post by saying. Objects can only get bigger when in their very hot molten state,and once cooled impacts can do more harm then good in creating more mass. TreBert. |
