NASA To Announce New Exo-Planet Kepler Survey Results
On Thursday Dec. 14th NASA plans to announce the latest exo-planet
survey results using the Kepler Telescope. The new wrinkle here is that Google machine learning AI was employed to help with these newest discoveries. It will be interesting to see if we not only get new planets in the "Goldilocks Zone" but also of proper mass density for gravity close to 1g. In the past some of the most promising planet candidates have had proposed gravity of up to 2g. All other things being equal, I suppose it would be like living on Superman's home world of Krypton!* https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/n...ler-discovery/ Dave *A digression: As the DC comic was originally intended. Superman had super-strength due to evolving on a planet with much higher gravity than Earth which also accounted for a "higher molecular density", something akin to Mill's largely discredited Hydrino Theory. He could make amazing leaps, but in the original story, flying was right out. Also the bullet resistance was a feature of the costume not the man. At least IIRC the original story which tried to adhere a little closer to the known science of the 1930s. Which is why I like it so much. |
