Re: BBC: Neutrino Particle Breaks the Speed of Light
Merci Neufer! Clear answers to muddy questions eheh A year or two ago I would've hardly known what a neutrino was, but thanks to good people like you I now know..and then some :) I have some more questions then, about the three types of neutrinos and how they can possibly change mass etc, but I'll m...

Re: BBC: Neutrino Particle Breaks the Speed of Light
lol or in AZ without proper papers..ahem Now forgive me if I have misunderstood something, but since the neutrinos actually has mass (although a very tiny one), wouldn't it have been big news even if they 'only' reached the actual c in vacuum? And how sure are they that nothing in the path of this t...

Re: BA: AstroAlert: Type Ia supernova in M101!
Umm, after browsing through this thread I don't see so many jumps and plunges in your many reports Ann. In fact I seem to recall the word 'boring' a couple of times ;P Follows the early predicted behaviour very well, but I can't seem(or is it can't be bothered?) to find an actual published spectra o...

Re: AFTAU: When the Black Hole Was Born
Such black holes may be related to the very first stars in the universe. They also found that the subsequent growth period of the observed sources, after the first 1.2 billion years, lasted only 100-200 million years. Interesting study of so high redshift galaxies, but this I don't quite understand...

Re: Best ways to identify what I see at night
Another interesting program is Microsofts WorldWide Telescope(beta). It contains in itself a wonderful set of starmaps(all major catalogues), very detailed Mars Map(& rest of solar system including Earth oc), in short not Google Earth, but MS Space :wink: There are also guided tours and other co...
