Not a fan of anything past DS9 either. Voyager by it's nature was too far removed from the familiar setting of the original/TNG and the ever simmering political tension between the Federation/Klingons/Romans.
The main characters in Voyager were also not terribly compelling. I personally found lots of side characters in TNG like Barclay and O'Brien were just way more interesting than relatively forgettable main characters in Voyager like Harry Kim, Chakotay, or Torres.
Towards the end they entirely leaned too far into tired borg shit. But hey it was was good for star trek related memes at least :>
According to the Mormons, the lost tribe of Israel whom were the original Native Americans. Then another invading group of people came and killed all of the lost tribe of Israel. As punishment, God turned the skin of those invading peoples red. Those are the Native American we know of today 🤭
Gravitational forces from the much heavier pulsar are pulling the Jupiter-mass planet into a bizarre lemon shape.
A Jupiter-mass planet is considered pretty damn big with an incredibly strong gravitational field. Planets that are about 13 times bigger than Jupiter are considered brown dwarves which are just a few steps away from being full on stars.
The planet orbits a star that's completely bizarre — the mass of the Sun, but the size of a city,” said the University of Chicago’s Michael Zhang, the principal investigator on this study. “This is a new type of planet atmosphere that nobody has ever seen before. Instead of finding the normal molecules we expect to see on an exoplanet — like water, methane, and carbon dioxide — we saw molecular carbon, specifically C3 and C2.”
Molecular carbon is very unusual because at these temperatures, if there are any other types of atoms in the atmosphere, carbon will bind to them. (Temperatures on the planet range from 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit at the coldest points of the night side to 3,700 degrees Fahrenheit at the hottest points of the day side.) Molecular carbon is only dominant if there's almost no oxygen or nitrogen. Out of the approximately 150 planets that astronomers have studied inside and outside the solar system, no others have any detectable molecular carbon.
Pretty much any element can enter a gaseous state under the right conditions. It hot AF in there and the carbon has nothing to react with since the only other predominant element is Helium which is about as unreactive as you're gonna get.
Pretty sure this guy has "done his own research" by looking for titles that sound like they support his views and hoped no one would actually bother to actually read them 🤭
10-player game of munchkin. Could feel my soul trying to crawl out of my mouth after the 3rd hour.
