Everytime you take a regular shower, you're actually taking a golden shower from millions of comets and also every single organism that has ever lived on this planet. This includes your dead relatives. All of them. Surrounding you, pissing on you while dinosaurs, that gerbil you had in elementary school, Edgar Allen Poe and others all wait in line, leering at your pasty naked form, bladders strained to bursting.

Lots of comets. mookface posted:really? how do they figure on that Our solar system is surrounded by a spherical shell of ice particles about one light year out called the Oort cloud, these particles coalesce into comets, and those comets move into the inner system and get caught up in orbits until they impact another body. A few years ago they spotted a star similar to our own sun in the early formation stages, it is in a phase where it shoots beams of superheated water out each of it's poles, which explains where the Oort cloud comes from and also suggests that lots and lots of stars have water in their solar system.

Doc Block posted:IIRC that's just one possibility. Would've taken a shitload of comets. Hmm. Interesting. Well, no doubt comets brought a great deal if not not the vast majority. Given Earth was molten to the core during dormation - water boils away. And then molten again when there was the planetary impact which created the Moon. We're living on Earth 2.0, by the way, as the original Earth was burned in that impact.

What loving morons. They circle around poo poo like 20 times instead of going right there. They could have gotten to the comet in like 1 year if they just flew straight to it. Hey I am going to the store so I will pass by my house 3 times on the way...

What's weird and creepy about these is that usually when you think space, you think all black with stars and swirly galaxies and poo poo everywhere. This is just pitch black, lit from one side, like something out of Eraserhead. This is space, and it's empty as gently caress.

We are star children, in a very real and quite literal sense.

global warming sucks but we can somewhat prepare for it. if we get hit by a big enough solar storm we're looking at trillions of dollars in repairs for all the electrical systems that get fried and it's like an asteroid impact in that it's only an amount of time before we're in the crosshairs of a big one
