It helps if you think of hell as a home for the theologically insane... edit: I know, wrong thread. I promise that it may never happen again? |

I was shocked that Dr. Tyson's education did not include I didn't read it until college, and then only got part-way through. It was a curiosity purchase, not as required reading for a literature class. So many books on my "waiting to read" list.... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

It helps if you think of hell as a Yes, the classical vision of Hell, with levels tailored to provide the absolute most misery for those assigned there. And then there is the vision put out by the TV series "Touched By An Angel", where Hell is an empty VOID, where the occupant is isolated from everything, alone in the Dark, forever. Kinda like being out in the Kuiper Belt, maybe? Not sure which would be worse. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Neil deGrasse stated in the last day or 2 that "no respectable would cross another planet's orbit", but what would he know about what a planet thinks? How does he know that in early Earth history that Our planet dindt cross anothers orbit. Thereby making our moon. Why do they say we got whacked by another planet? maybe Ereath was the guilty party?

And Pluto's discover Tombaugh has a Regio in the heart named for Him. Peering closely at the “heart of Pluto†in the western half of what mission scientists have informally named Tombaugh Regio, New Horizons’ Ralph instrument revealed evidence of carbon monoxide ice. The contours indicate that the concentration of frozen carbon monoxide increases toward the center of the “bull’s-eye.†Credit: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Neil deGrasse stated in the last day or 2 that "no respectable would cross another planet's orbit", but what would he know about what a planet thinks? I've read that theory, too. That collision not only created our moon, but is responsible for the asteroid belt between Earth and Mars. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Yeah lots of rocks in that Belt, according to Space.com... Though I only know of the Belt between Mars and Jupiter. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Pluto's moon Charon's north pole now has a name: MORDOR http://space.io9.com/a-guide-to-pluto-everything-weve-learned-from-new-hori-1718799253 We got our first surprise when Charon was still a fuzzy blur in the distance: the massive moon had a smeared dark polar cap. Now named Mordor, the cap is still provoking more questions than answers. We know it’s big and red; that’s about it. Mission scientists have speculated that from some angles, it almost looks like an impact basin from a colossal collision. We’ll know more later when we start getting spectra back to tell us about chemical composition on the surface of the moon. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
