AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying a book by Archie E. Roy titled "Orbital Motion." Participants are attempting to confirm if the attached page matches the first page of chapter 4 from Roy's book. One user notes the lack of a "Look Inside" feature on Amazon, limiting access to the content. They also mention that Google Books provides minimal visibility of the pages. The conversation highlights the challenge of verifying the book's content without direct access to more pages.

See attached page. My guess the author is Roy, and the book is his Orbital Motion. I have a few more copied pages. Maybe someone has his book and can compare it to the first page of chapter 4?

Thread 'Venus and Jupiter Conjunction'

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
