ScienceCasts: Mission to Land on a Comet

Показать описание

Europe's Rosetta spacecraft is en route to intercept a comet-- and to make history. In 2014, Rosetta will enter orbit around 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and land a probe on it for a front row seat as the comet heads toward the sun.

Neat vid!
This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the physics of light and time!

This theory is based on two postulates

1. The first is that the quantum wave particle function Ψ represents the forward passage of time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π itself photon by photon.

2. The second is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event.

@ILoveJewsNBlacks Your personal attacks on me and your explanations are nothing more than Absurd’s, The comical theory which is taught in schools and universities is that of whipple idea that comets are a dirty little snowball. In fact for you to get a PHD you need to walk the line. Comets are not snowball, Tempel1, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
is not a snowball either they just don’t have the ice and water needed to produce those massive com and tail.

U must to make better a system who when satellitle comes again to earth.... (cause they comes back at some kind of time), and when satellitle stay coming, so that system get again frecuency with the nasa on earth or maybe on the "even we dont know when the real time is comming" ;).... and in that way, maybe we could send signal to other parts in the universe where maybe intelligent life could be.... and maybe they will come watching over universe and new thins on there !!! God Good

No. The mass of the orbiter and impact of the lander is far too low to affect the path of the comet especially when you consider the relative velocities involved. The comet is travelling super-fast and the orbiter and lander are matching that velocity & orbital path then the orbiter is joining it on that same orbital trajectory whilst the lander is docking with it. It's like a bee circling & landing on your car travelling full speed down the highway. That will "move" your car about the same.

Superluminous (beyond merely brilliant) clip and mission - or missions. Cheers! :-)

Given the 'Cassini-Huyghens' craft name I'm wondering why they are not calling this 'Rosetta-Philae?'

"..engaged in its high-speed chase while fast asleep .." Don't try this at home - or on the roads! - folks. That line made me smile.

Loved the breath-taking image of Comet McNaught 2007 at the 50 second mark too. Wonder how much Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko will resemble that comet at perihelion?

Is this the beginning of Armageddon? ...
Human science against wrath of God, the fulfillment of God's prophecy? God will abolish evil on earth, and renovate, for the sake of God's creation of perfect Humanity that God

What will happen after it finishes testing and after 17 months, how will the lander or whatever that landed return back to earth? or will it return?

I don't know what the F**k you just said, kid. But you reached out... and you touched a brothers heart.

Is Philae going to stay active on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko until it returns to the Oort cloud ?

The intro, the tune and the voice, feels like i'm watching a science film in class of '85

vesta is perfect for mars and close, now that would be ball balls.you just roll up to it start gravity tugging what could be gd simpler.

first step to nuking one if need be.now i could get into that, masters of the universe title, but probably, need a rover to find a depression.
