5:19 as per the dart-asteroid news, I wonder if this is how contact binaries form, enough material exchange until they are near the same mass, then they kiss and merge into one body again.
Interesting about the youtube Premium subject! That means I should basically watch all the episodes there since im a premium subscriber so you'll get a bit more revenue!
would it be good to put the star shield at or near geostationary giving more time of coverage to make your observation
Probably, but it’ll severely limit the number of target star systems to be observed. I think it would be more productive to have thousands of possible target star systems. I don’t know, but it’s may be possible to target almost all candidate systems with just a minor inclination in the orbit of the star shield. Maybe Fraser can help answer this?
*Or* you can get a lifetime subscription to Nebula (never gonna see that bill again), support content creators directly on Patreon and watch them there or Odysee (ad free) and other services that are ad free (e.g.: Twitch, Substack) and eschew YuckTube completely as I’ve done for over two years now. I’m enjoying the Internet again.
Ads are intolerable. I have done an awful lot of work to make my entire home and any device on its network an ad-free zone. I also have Premium and that is the only Premium feature I care about. It's already awful that content creators have to do their own ad reads to supplement dwindling revenue. There is no chance I would ever pay for YouTube unless I can watch without ads -- and there is no chance I would watch with ads -- so if ad-free YouTube with Premium goes away, that's simply the end of YouTube.
