NuSoardGraphite 671 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Re: More space news! Entire galaxies made of Dark Matter. Very interesting indeed. Maybe those theories about Dark Matter life-forms aren't so far-fetched after all... I wonder how Anti-Dark Matter and normal matter would interact....

NuSoardGraphite 671 Report post Posted June 18, 2011 Re: More space news! Twin planets orbiting a double star That would be a good system for the bad guys to put their shipyards, or for a pirate base. Scanning such a system would prove utterly useless, so a base could be hidden almost anywhere in there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christopher 965 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Re: More space news! Earth Trojan asteroid discovered I see the possibilites: Linked, stable orbit with earth. Does not encircles earth. Way less mass than the moon. To bad this one is not ideal in that matter (otherwise we would not have found it), but still gives us some opportunity.

McCoy 782 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Re: More space news! Earth Trojan asteroid discovered Trojan asteroids typically do not orbit right at the Lagrangian points but in tadpole-shaped loops around them, due to the gravitational attraction of other bodies in the solar system. However, 2010 TK7's tadpole orbit is unusually large, at times taking it nearly as far as the opposite side of the sun from the Earth. Whoa! Is it just me, or does that orbit sound like Orpheus?
