100 #lightyear radius, contains more than 10k #starsystems

That's a big number, 10,000 in the area about 100 light years away from #earth

Sadly many folks who really really 🟢believe in #UFOs aka #UAP aka (unidentified aerial phenomena (or anomalous) have no idea how FAR AWAY the #exoplanets are

The nearest that a maybe "liveable" planet is 12 lyr away, that's 300k years travel time, for a "fast" spaceship (can't go too fast bc of the dust) so zero UAP can VISIT, if they want to

Webb Finds Hints of a Third Planet at PDS 70

The exoplanet census now stands at 5,599 confirmed discoveries in 4,163 star systems, with another 10,157 candidates awaiting confirmation. So far, the vast majority of these have been detected using indirect methods, including Transit Photometry (74.4%) and Radial Velocity measurements (19.4%). Only nineteen (or 1.2%) were detected via Direct Imaging, a method where light reflected … Continue reading "Webb Finds Hints of a Third Planet at PDS 70"

Astronomers See Massive Stars Forming Together in Multiple Star Systems

Theory says that massive stars form in multiples: binaries, trinaries, quadruples, and quintuples. Now we have images to prove it.

ALMA observations show how double, triple, quadruple and quintuple star systems form simultaneously in a molecular cloud

For humans, the chance of giving birth to multiples is less than 2%. The situation is different with stars, especially with particularly heavy stars. Astronomers observe stars that are many times heavier than the sun in more than 80% of cases in double or multiple systems. The key question is whether they were also born as multiples, or whether stars are born alone and approach each other over time.

Basically no one knows what happened but each of the four Daimyos suspect the other three is behind it.

Finishing the pitch: #Players would play #Agents of the #Daimyo for one of the four remaining #starsystems (named Daisen, Kanpo, Nii-Jima, and Aira).

These Agents (and their #henchmen) are tasked with investigating what happened to the Fuji system and which Daimyo is responsible.

Oh, and the fact that ALL these systems were named after #volcanoes from #Japan? Just a coincidence, I'm sure

The #pitch was: Sometime in the #farfuture, five #Starsystems were #colonized by #JapaneseNationalists; people who #Romanticized #Shogunate #Japan and were swept up in a movement to reclaim their perceived golden age.

Flash forward an unspecified amount of time, and the five systems are unified into a #hightech shogunate. Each system is ruled by a #Daimyo, who answered to the #Shogun of the #Fuji system.

At least they used to, until just before the game starts, when Fuji's Star went #Novae.

Magnetic fields in multiple star systems with at least one giant, hot blue star are more common than previously thought

Astronomers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), the European Southern Observatory (ESO), and the MIT Kavli Institute and Department of Physics have discovered that magnetic fields in multiple star systems with at least one giant, hot blue star, are much more common than previously thought by scientists. The results significantly improve the understanding of massive stars and their role as progenitors of supernova explosions. The findings are published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
