The best troll in science is naming everything below 100km of atmosphere the 'homosphere'

texasmed posted:if only we had like, a telescope, in space, to look for things Problem with most telescopes is that they have really narrow fields of view, which makes them bad for searching wide areas of the sky. These guys are using the Subaru telescope because it's both sensitive enough and has a wide enough field of view that searching the outer solar system with it will "only" take 5 years to cover the entire area and prove/disprove the existence of Planet X. edit: it would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack with the catch that you can only look through a cardboard tube.

Isnt there a big thing like the earth still fucks with telescopes and thats why they made the hubble telescope in space. And its why the new James Webb telescope will be floating 1.5 million km away in space from earth?

People are experimenting with using multiple telescopes that are geographically spread out but all pointed at the same object to try to cancel out some/all of our atmosphere's interference.

i just realized if this planet exists, it is so far away that unless we build something that can travel 20 times faster than New Horizons, i'll never see it up close in my lifetime
