Jupiter's moon Io. It deforms massively due to tidal forces alone.
maybe we should make this week space week? i have always wanted to learn more about space and stuff.

I think you should study the Galilean moons, the impossibility of near light speed travel and gravitational slingshot trajectories.

ok. i'll get onto that.

It seems like the cricket thing had a dirtier double entendre later that I hadn't heard, which is why Channel 10 are in major damage control.

The various moons create incredible tidal forces on each other.

Was he even flirting though? Doesn't flirting have to have some subtlety and wit about it?

i was speaking more about myself. i don't think i could do it.
btw, moseface, would your arch rival be gooseface?
moose-out!

Actually reepbot, when you do your space study, keep in mind the size of planets and suns. You will learn that many of the movie situations are a joke. Systems with dual stars will be uninhabitable. If you see the following super planet proximity, you will be standing on molten lava.
Throughout the universe, if the planet is survivable, planets and suns/stars will look roughly the size ours do. If they look giant, the system will have so much energy you will be elemental.

ok. that makes sense. which movies are the worst for that kind of thing?

Prometheus! Great landing sequence, but boy, if a planet looks that big the orbit would be so fast the shadows would be shooting across the sky. If a second entitity was involved the system would be nuclear
or at least energetic to the point of not being solid.Look at the planet in the background, LOL.
The pic was from Predators.

so big planets are not good for living.

Ok well I was perhaps being lazy responding to your post not Witty's. If my name were moseface then my rival might be goseface. But gooseface..... hmm, juiceface, looseface, noose face, puceface, hmm... yep gooseface would probably be it.

You can be like 'Damn you gooooooosefaccccccceeeeee!'

Not the actual size, but the visual size is important. Big looking planets are not good for stable slow orbits. You need vast amounts of time in stable orbit so leafy green planets will not have anything in the sky vastly bigger than our moon or sun. Violent desolate planets could have large planet backgrounds, but they probably would not have even an atmosphere. Double big planets in the background....forget about it
You won't be landing The Star Wars double sun is pretty doubtful.The solar radiation and tides would be crazy...and the Suns would almost definitely not be round.

ok. what about black holes. how do they work?

That starts to be philosophy. I don't personally believe in the possibility of a singularity, so do research and form your own opinion. What is not controversial is that there are objects that affect orbits that we receive no light from and produce occasional large bursts of electomagnetic activity as they swallow stars. Given even NASA admit we have virtually no idea about gravity on Earth, anyone at all pretending to be an expert on black holes is telling fibs. The best we can do is guess and choose theories that predict orbits the best.
