Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - June 17, 2025 [scampydog]
A bit of good natured fun to get things going.
Put your arms through the sleeves of your lab coat. It is time for some ONT space and science with our AoSHQ friend and commenter, publius. Sticking with Tuesday, ONT Science tradition, we are leading off with Feynman. Feynman wrote a lovely letter to his wife who had passed away at 25 years young. I know you will assure me that I am foolish and that you want me to have full happiness and don't want to be in my way. I'll bet you are surprised that I don't even have a girlfriend (except you, sweetheart) after two years. But you can't help it, darling, nor can I - I don't understand it, for I have met many girls and very nice ones and I don't want to remain alone - but in two or three meetings they all seem ashes. You only are left to me. You are real. From publius: "Feynman did remarry, twice. Second ended in divorce, and the third lasted until his death. Here's a picture of him dancing with his third wife at the Nobel Ceremony in 1965. He was clowning a bit there, of course. There's some other pictures of him at the Nobel Ceremony. She died about a year after he did." Perfect sphere found by astronomers. Riddle was bugging me, so I did what any self respecting Moron would do. I emailed publius. In data collected by a powerful radio telescope, astronomers have found what appears to be a perfectly spherical bubble. We know more or less what it is - it's the ball of expanding material ejected by an exploding star, a supernova remnant - but how it came to be is more of a puzzle. Next up we have some (no longer) mystery radio signals. The source of mystery radio signals in space has finally been identified after almost a decade. NASA skywatching for the Month of June. All Month - Planet Visibility: More from publius "Venus and Earth's orbital periods have a ratio that is very close to 13:8, meaning Venus completes 13 orbits per 8 earth orbits almost exactly. Venus thus has 5 inferior conjunctions occurring very close to the same point in the sky every 8 years. That works out to a cycle of about 9 months between conjunctions. Since Venus is an inferior planet, we can never see it overhead during the middle of the night, only on the eastern morning or western evening side of the sky close before sunrise or close after sunset. The window around these inferior conjunctions are when Venus gets close and bright. During a window of several months around the inferior conjunction, Venus first appears bright in the western sky right after sunset when it's on the eastern side of the sun, then disappears into the sun at inferior conjunction. It then quickly whips to the western side of the sun to appear in the early morning, still close and bright. It then continues in its orbit, getting dimmer and father away and closer to the sun in the sky, until it repeats the cycle 9 months later. So Venus flips between "Evening Star" and "Morning Star" modes. Believe it or not, when Venus is near maximum brightness during the Evening and Morning Star modes, they get a lot of UFO reports from those not familiar with what's in the sky above them. You can plot this from a geocentric reference plane, and see the relative position of Venus and the Sun over this 8 year cycle. Venus' path makes a nice 5-sided pattern centered around the earth, sometimes poetically dubbed the Five-petal Rose of Venus, seen here on this Earthsky page." Big AoS thank to you publius! *** That's one way to learn.
Liberals and Safe Spaces Merriam-Webster defines safe space as: a place (as on a college campus) intended to be free of bias, conflict, criticism, or potentially threatening actions, ideas, or conversations. Sure doesn't look like they have much conviction with that definition. These ICE/No Kings/Antifa/Commie/Leftist rioters are up in everyone's face (with theirs covered, just like their Klan predecessors) - not exactly the safe space champions they pretend to be. Liberals are unwilling and/or unable to live by their own rules. Actions and behavior by convenience, and when it suits them. Their moral code, impulse control, and self restraint disappear just like limited time offers. They simply do whatever they want - without concern for consequences. Consequence winds are changing, however. Checks out.
1960's: Tommy James and the Shondells. Mony Mony, 1968. Billy Idol version was pretty good too. 1970's: It is Pride Month. The Kinks. Lola, 1970. 1980's: Damn, this decade is tough as a Gen X'er. The Clash. Should I Stay or Should I Go, 1981. 1990's: All the 'cool kids' spent a summer mocking the video. Yet they danced and sang along. Rob Van Winkle. Vanilla Ice. Ice, Ice, Baby, 1990. 2000's: Flame away in the comments. This came down to: Nelly/Country Grammar, Ride Wit Me or.... Buckcherry. Crazy B*tch, 2006. NSFW. 2010's: Lost musical decade. Kids won a lot of the radio car battles. Meghan Trainor. All About that Bass, 2014. Will close the summer song - musical section with this all-timer.
