Please join us on Facebook for the latest science news and videos: tinyurl.com The Hidden Universe of the Spitzer Space Telescope (Episode 33): When Worlds Collide. When worlds collide, the result is spectacular, and astronomers think they’ve detected the aftermath of such an event around another star. This is the Hidden Universe of the Spitzer Space Telescope, exploring the mysteries of infrared astronomy with your host Dr. Robert Hurt. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Nearly 60 years ago, audiences thrilled to the destruction of the Earth in George Pal’s classic film, “When Worlds Collide.” The idea of a planetary smash-up is a staple of science fiction, but can it really happen? Astronomers using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope think they’ve actually seen the aftermath of such a collision around another star. It can even help us understand similar calamities that happened long ago in our own solar system. The story unfolded as Dr. Casey Lisse and his team studied disks around young stars. Once planets have formed astronomers think there are a lot of left-over asteroids in the system. They occasionally slam together and produce dusty debris. Spitzer’s Infrared Spectrograph was designed to detect the faint glow from this material. By spreading the light out into its component colors, astronomers can look for the spectral fingerprints of different minerals. This way we can figure out the …

Lazyperfectionist1Message @ private? m? and I’ll explain:)
That makes you handplanty @ m? s sick as me. It’s hard to make an argument? a person who wants to believe.
@ TheRationalizer start? feel I have to take some classes to understand this.

handplanty @ No, it’s just that you p? paragraph shall? be est? ask.
@ Lazyperfectionist11: We measured? the mass of the Terre.2: We measured? distance from the Earth / Sun using trigonometrical? trie.3: As we have? reduce the mass of Soleil.4: We measured? the distance of Mercury with trigonometrical? trie.5: As we have? reduce the mass of Mercure.6: Conna? be its distance, may? masters measure the size or Mercure.7: density? = Mass / volume.Peut? Not in this exact order, but the essentials:)
@ TheRationalizer then? C How It d? Fill out the mass of Mercury? Wait a minute. Mass and gravity are positively corr? SS, which means examining the path of Mercury to the sun should allow us to do this Projection? N using our own plan? You and your? Orbit as part of r? f? Conference. ? I am part of this right?
@? Orbit Lazyperfectionist1Une? table if exists? Appropriate balance? Handset? phone en masse? e of the two objects at their distances. ? That’s it? do with the mass, not volume or density?. Black holes are tr? s dense, have much weight, and tr? s petites.Si know that the mass of a plan? you, and know that your volume, you can calculate its density?. Densit? = Mass / volumeEst has resulted? Til?
@ TheRationalizer I wonder if? Confusing mass with volume. I can see how they, if we know the volume of the sun, we can make fairly accurate projections of the volume of other objects in relationship? No sun, but I see no c? Mo this is related? mass.
@ Lazyperfectionist1Nous know that the Sun’s mass and thus low? on the distance from Mercury to the Sun we know that the mass of Mercury, too? n. We know the size? Or Mercury you will as well know that their density n?.
