The atoms you are made of can only be formed in the center of a star.

People tend to think the universe is elaborately organized but it isn't. Most of it is empty, useless space and the rest is inhabitable hostile rocks and gas.
The universe is extremely wasteful. Life is like a gold nugget in a mountain range. Habitable planets exist by pure chance because the universe is so fucking large.

Not entirely space related but;
Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.

It may be possible to survive for a while in the event horizon of a supermassive black hole, due to them having less extreme surfaces than normal black holes. If you had a black hole the size of our solar system, the tidal forces wouldn't be that strong, so your structural integrity could be maintained. Things would get pretty weird. You would get to experience the effects of the curvature of space-time, firsthand.
You approach the speed of light as you fall into the black hole, so the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time. Furthermore, as you fall, there are things that have been falling in front of you that have experienced an even greater 'time dilation' than you have. So if you're able to look forward toward the black hole, you see every object that has fallen into it in the past. And then if you look backwards, you'll be able to see everything that will ever fall into the black hole behind you. Mind blowing.

Saturn is creepy as hell. Remind me to never go there.
Jupiter sounds amazing, though.

This is Achernar, the fastest spinning "regular" star (As in excluding pulsars, magnetars and other forms of extreme neutron star.) Its diameter is 58% larger on the equator than on the poles. Its equatorial velocity is almost 250km/s, compared to our Sun's 20km/s. If it were spinning about 6-8% faster it would spin itself apart.

When Betelgeuse goes supernova, the explosion will be visible in broad daylight.

The Carina Nebula is infact several light-years from top to bottom. That's like, the distnce between two stars right there.
That's scary when you think about it.
I always thought the Carina Nebula looked like a bear fighting off other creatures with a scythe.

PSR J1748-2446 is the fastest spinning object known. It's a neutron star that's literally harder than diamonds. Its matter is packed so tightly into a sphere ~30km wide, that it can withstand its fucking ridiculous rotation speed of 716 rotations per second. Proportionately that's like our Earth spinning around over twice per second instead of once per 24 hours. It spins faster than any powertool in existence.
Neutron stars are amazing.
Yeah, they really baffle me at times.
They're like, the little brothers of black holes, or the tagalong kid that is desperately truing to copy the cool crowd but ends up sticking out even more. It's weird, I think, that the densest object in the universe emits no light at all yet the second densest is the brightest object in the universe.
They really straddle on the lines of a black hole. A thing that amazes me about them is starquakes. If a starquake occurred near our solar system it could very well cause a mass extinction.

There's no gravity in space
This is incorrect.
If there's gravity in space then why do astronauts float
#checkmateatheists
The OCD in me forces me to do this, regardless if this is a troll or not.
Space has gravity; if left in space long enough, astronauts would eventually fly into the nearest planet, or the sun, depending on which was nearest. Astronauts float because there is a lack of a strong force pulling them- Earth's gravity in atmosphere is -9.81ms^-2 which means that something must be accelerating at least 9.81ms^-2 in the opposite direction to fly; in space, this force is considerably weaker, to the point where a simple action has a faster acceleration and thus gravity of Earth is overcome easier.
If two people were left in space for long enough, they would slowly drift closer together. I mean, we say that Luna orbits Earth, but in reality, they both orbit each other. Luna actually drags on Earth and slows our rotation down, otherwie our day would be about 8 hours long.
Yeah, the Earth and the moon are technically a bi-planetary system like Pluto and Charon.

AFGL-3068 is a spooky motherfucking black spiral. It's a double star system that spins in the middle of an enormous carbon dust cloud. Stare at it and you will stare into the eyes of Death.

HD189733b is a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting so close to its host star that it's tidally locked, meaning the same side is always facing the star. This makes the near side scorching hot and the far side freezing cold. It also causes huge convectional winds to blow from the hot side to the cold side.
Spectroscopy of the planet has shown a lot of silicates and nitrites in the atmosphere of the planet, which has led scientists to believe that the ~20km/s winds blowing on the planet carry 1300ºK rains of molten glass with them. Metal as fuck.
That sounds awesome, I didn't know if such a thing was physically possible.
On a similar note, I love the sound of this planet from Halo: Broken Circle.
Spoiler The Planet of Blue and Red is a planet tidally locked between two close stars in a binary system, one a red giant, the other a blue star. The planet doesn't have a day/night cycle and doesn't rotate, but the light shined on it by both stars makes one side of the planet blue and one side red, with the middle a deep purple where the light mixes.
That would be amazing to see.
A lot of the exoplanets we discover are similar to HD189733b.

There are more stars in our galaxy than atoms in our universe.
This might be correct. It comes down to a question of definition. A star is plasma held together by its own gravity. The definition has nothing to do with actual matter other than plasma. You don't need atoms to make a star, just ionized particles. So by lighting a match on fire, putting it in the microwave, turning the microwave on you are essentially creating trillions of stars per second. There is more plasma in the universe than atoms. So it could be true.

This is Hoag's Object, a (nearly) unique subtype of ring galaxy. Only two galaxies like this have been found. The other one can be seen through Hoag's Object. Yo dawg.

I could honestly care less.
So, you do care. Good to know.
That's a terrible argument. I'm not even going to bother explaining.
anyone who says "I could care less" is a moron.
Anyone who thinks that is a moron.
The truth is not a lie.
Uh huh.
Come now, you don't really want to defend it, do you?
I can't be bothered to defend it. But letting someone know that you don't give a fuck is perfectly valid.
At this point I could not care less about your argument, as it's so stupid.
Okay.

You say that muting is for pussies, I disagree. If some annoying kid on XBL keeps on sending you friend requests and you block him, does that make you a pussy? If your answered yes and you actually used the block feature, congratulations your a hypocrite. If you answered no, then you must understand that this is no different from blocking communications. These tools exist for a reason to make the forum better. Then use it, don't turn it off at times to see what others are saying and respond to them, that's counterproductive. The reason people continue giving you shit is because you let them. They know they can get under your skin easy and take advantage of it. Don't make it a point to announce that you're muting them as well, because then they know they got to you.
And here is the other thing, if this is suppose to be it's own community and not some B.old nostalgia fantrip site, then what is Sep7agon? Are we a clan? What are we selling? Do we even have a product to attract the masses? Because so far we're just a bunch of old farts with nostalgia goggles trying to relive B.old, but with all this extra shit in the mix It is it own separate site and honestly, I think people need to start treating it that way if you want more people to ever come here that isn't from Bnet. We have a few people here that have never been on Bnet like Numb Digger for example. This place has the tendency to act high and mighty regarding things about "Flood culture" in which really some of the notable examples didn't even come from Bnet anyhow. The Cheerios story did not originate on Bnet and Challenge accepted came from "How I met your Mother." For the most part, the only things Bnet members have done is try to force misspellings as a meme or spam threads about porches. If you want this place to ever become more than some offsite, the rose tinted glasses need to come off.

Autism Speaks is an autism advocacy organization in the United States that sponsors autism research and conducts awareness and outreach activities aimed at families, governments, and the public.

Okay, you see that? That's the other thing. You're not doing this to be helpful. You're doing this intentionally to get me triggered in hopes that you get a cheap laugh. There is no intelligence in this post. You're taking an advert and using it just to be a nuisance for a cheap laugh. I know what autism speaks is, I'm for that organization myself, not because I'm a fucking autist though.
And the only reason why I'm replying to you is because I currently have my True Mute script disabled, just to see what everyone at least says first before I turn it back on.
I could honestly care less. Do me a favour and mute me, like Elegiac did. I'd prefer to insult you without you ever knowing, cuntface.

I read the whole thing, because it had something to say.
Before I respond with what little I have, what's your problem with me, and why do you think I have that problem?
Because your the major contributor to unintelligent threads. Including Deci is 10. It's set to trigger said user (me) instead of actually describing why Deci = 10 and getting into detail with that, which you are correct Deci does mean 10 but instead you laugh at it like someone laughing at a math problem instead of taking a logical approach.
Oh, then I've only got one defense, but I'm not gonna use it, because I agree with you.
I do it out of boredom, but I agree with you on that it's counterproductive, and a waste of time. Still, want is there to talk about, that others will join in on? Like you, I've grown tired of the community a bit. There's been some times when I make threads that are actually "intelligent", where I prompt the idea of talking about things such as deductive reasoning, or some different parts of the brain that does differen things when this happens and so on.
Yet, I receive "hey this is a decent thread", or something of the like. I rarely get replies that actually teach me things about the topic that I'm discussing, and thus I've stopped displaying my interests on this site.
Why I'm on this site is almost beyond me, but I'm guessing it has to do with that I can't let it go as there's nothing to replace it with.
Glad I'm not the only one who is getting fed up with this site.
