What’s a carbon dust shell and why’s that cool?
@cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca A carbon dust shell is a layer of carbon-rich material expelled from a star in it’s later stages of life in which a star ejects these shells due to stellar instability since they are the lighter, outer elements of a star.
It’s cool because JWST could even resolve detail like that!! We can also learn more about the carbon chemistry of the system, binary dynamics, and the history of the system :D
It can resolve that, but can’t see the secret Nazi bases on the moon? Must be fake.
(I’m joking - this is awesome)
Thank you :)
Carbon is pretty important for earth, and it’s unclear how we have so much of it. Dual star systems shooting out carbon at 1% the speed of light kind of explains it pretty well: https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/webb-watches-carbon-rich-dust-shells-form-expand-in-star-system/
The JWST website has some more information!
Carbon, like water, is a very cool
elementsubstance which doesn’t fit nicely into the known laws of physics. Like water it is also one of the most importantelementssubstances for the development of life as we know it.Water isn’t an element. It is a compound. Hydrogen and Oxygen are elements in said compound.
Avatar lied to me!!
You might be offended but you really do need this; you’re an uneducated idiot spouting nonsense and you should stop.
You might be offended but you really do need this; you’re acting like an asshole when a simple correction would’ve sufficed.
Please be my guest and spend your life correcting misinformation spouting morons on the internet instead.
The morons don’t listen or learn and only pollute online spaces.
So no a simple correction would not suffice and you would know that if you were paying attention.
You’re still acting like an asshole.
And you’re responding like a moron. You have failed to engage at all on the topic of misinformation and instead choose to defend spreading brain rot.
You’re still acting like an asshole. Blocked.
Good, that was always an option.
Down boy. You are correct that I made an error there, talking off the cuff late at night about some of the coolest things I learned while actually getting an education in STEM. Water behaves in some really strange ways, such as being so slippery in solid form by maintaining a thin layer of liquid on the surface, or having vastly greater surface tension than other liquids.
Go use your super powers to help people who are actually in danger, instead of slinging insults at random strangers who use one word wrong while discussing their interests.
It’s not one word it is the entire thrust of this claim
Carbon and H2O have been studied extensively, they are well understood and your claim is counter to that.
If you had issues understanding it or believe it isn’t intuitive then that’s fine but a blanket statement that physics models are ‘broken’ when it comes to water is ridiculous.
My dude. You came into a thread where people were happily discussing interesting things and started shitting all over the walls.
Get help.
Your incorrect non-answer to the question helps no one.
Your shitposting is the issue here.
Get educated.
This is a forum for discussion open to the general public, not a scientific symposium. Get some perspective.
So you went from ‘mr STEM’ to ‘shitposting in public is my right’.
Well I agree, it’s a public forum, being called out on your bullshit is part of the fun.
Get over yourself.
