  1. New Horizons nadert eindelijk een belangrijke grens van de verre ruimte
    De sonde zal het derde door mensen gemaakte object worden dat het zonnestelsel verlaat, maar moet eerst deze mysterieuze grens

  5.                  Arrokoth - Avàvâgo Zamran!

    Cazalet compie l’ennesima grande opera di esplorazione sonora, facendolo in una forma differente rispetto agli altri progetti dove milita, portando il rituale ad un altro livello.

  6. New Simulations Explain Snowman Shape of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth

    Why does Arrokoth, a Kuiper Belt object, look like a snowman? New simulations show it formed by gravitational collapse, not just collisions.

  7. 486958 #Arrokoth is a small Kuiper Belt object (KBO) in the outer solar system and the most distant object ever explored by a spacecraft. It was visited by NASA's New Horizons probe on January 1, 2019.

    The exploration of Arrokoth was a crucial part of the New Horizons mission after its historic 2015 flyby of Pluto.

  9. @mdhughes It occurs to me that #NaughtyDog were a #commonLisp company who wrote a #gameDev #scheme dialect. Did you think about that viz #Arrokoth and its game-creation-language ? Was it already intended to be a scheme? Do you have a piece of history I'm missing about Crash Bandicoot schemes?

  11. @dougmerritt
    it's like I'm absolutely crazy about valentine's day,
    but actually we just got to displaying a grid like @mdhughes' #Arrokoth
    (formatting-table
    (pane :x-spacing '(1 :character))
    (dolist (line (console-output frame))
    (with-drawing-options
    (pane :ink (Conline-color line))
    (formatting-row
    (pane)
    (formatting-cell
    (pane)
    (Conline-format line pane))))))
    and the next one isn't used by arrokoth yet, I need to deal with clim:updating-output...!

  14. Today in the Planetary Science Journal:

    Kim et al. 2024, "Numerical Investigation of the Cohesive Strength Regime of the Bilobated Arrokoth after the Sky-crater-forming Impact Event" - iopscience.iop.org/article/10.

    Suggesting quite high cohesive strength for #Arrokoth .

    Hmm...

  16. Amazing how thin #Arrokoth's "neck" between its lobes is according to the shape model by @simonbp. Paper included in the PDS release linked in this post: social.linux.pizza/@simonbp/11

  18. How did Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth form and take its current shape?
    It started 4.5 billion years ago, when a bunch of icy particles coalesced to form 2 separate bodies orbiting each other. Over time, the distance shrunk due to various astrophysical effects and the two bodies gently merged into a contact-binary.

  20. A study of the mounds that dominate the appearance of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth's larger lobe, named Wenu, by S.A. Stern and co-authors: doi.org/10.3847/PSJ/acf317

    Arrokoth, formerly known as Ultima Thule, was visited by the #NewHorizons #spacecraft 4 years ago. This study finds that the mounds are broadly self-similar in many respects and interprets them as the original building blocks of #Arrokoth.

  24. 5-kilometer-long mounds that dominate the appearance of the larger lobe of the pristine #Kuiper Belt object #Arrokoth are similar enough to suggest a common origin.

  30. Sir Alexander Dane: You're just going to have to figure out what it wants. What is its motivation?

    Jason Nesmith: It's a rock monster. It doesn't have motivation.

    Sir Alexander Dane: See, that's your problem, Jason. You were never serious about the craft.
