  • The temperature of LHS 1140 is 3,096 K (2,823 °C; 5,113 °F), and it has a luminosity of 0.0038 times that of the Sun

    For comparison, the Sun is 1 solar mass and radius, has a temperature of 5778 K with 1 solar luminosity

    The orbit of LHS 1140 b takes 24.737 days to complete, much quicker than Earth’s year of 365 days. Its orbital radius is at 0.0946 AU, or 9.46% the distance between Earth and the Sun. While this is quite close, the star LHS 1140 is so dim that the planet only gets 0.43 times the incident flux of Earth at this distance.[2] Assuming an albedo of 0, LHS 1140 b has an equilibrium temperature of 230 K (−43 °C; −46 °F), compared to Earth’s at 255 K (−18 °C; −1 °F). If LHS 1140 b has an albedo similar to that of Earth, the equilibrium temperature would be even lower, at 201 K (−72 °C; −98 °F). However, with a greenhouse effect at least as strong as Earth’s LHS 1140 b would have a surface temperature greater than 266 K (−7 °C; 19 °F) for an albedo of 0. Due to the high mass of the planet, it likely has a thicker atmosphere with a more powerful greenhouse effect.

    It’s neat that it’s still potentially habitable with such different solar conditions.









  • The attack Wednesday in the Gulf of Aden targeted a Barbados-flagged bulk carrier called True Confidence,

    It was unclear why the Houthis targeted the True Confidence. However, it had been listed as being owned by Oaktree Capital Management, a Los Angeles-based fund purchases vessels and sells them back to firms on installments. Oaktree did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    […]

    Meanwhile, a separate Houthi assault Tuesday apparently targeted the USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer that has been involved in the American campaign against the rebels

    The Houthi attack on the Carney on Tuesday involved bomb-carrying drones and one anti-ship ballistic missile, the U.S. military’s Central Command said.

    The U.S. later launched an airstrike destroying three anti-ship missiles and three bomb-carrying drone boats, the Central Command said.

    Highlighting that because the autogenerated subtext makes it seem like they got the destroyer instead of the American-owned but Barbados-flagged bulk carrier. At least the destroyer attack shows that they are fielding more sea drones so that will be coming at some point.



  • The scariest thing about liberal warmongering in Ukraine is that they not thought about the possibility of losing. All the money being lost for nothing, the weapons being lost to anyone with money, the massive group of war-hardened Nazis who blame the west for their loss, the re-invigoration of Russia after training it on how to defeat all of our weapons/tactics, the permanent refugees powering the far right the same way Syria has. They’re so psychotically devoted to this obviously hopeless war that they think they can win it by pretending to be dogs on twitter alone, with no Plan B if that doesn’t defeat a superpower. It hasn’t and it won’t. With each conscript they sacrifice, the survivors around them have one more valid reason to want to turn their drones westward.
