Well, if it's in a stable orbit it would not break orbit from the primary. Unfortunately for that capture to happen in the first place takes a large...

:lol: Cats are very good at turning their heads sideways. Maybe it wasn't an accident. ;)

Lord Foul If you have not made yourself familiar with our rules, I suggest you do so immediately. Rule 17 states "Do not respond to moderation...

"NASA's InSight Mars lander is going into emergency hibernation. If it can't save its batteries, it could die." ...

I was obviously discussing the isotope analysis, which only reported copper and zinc, not the elemental analysis. I think a weird isotope ratio...

Ah, good. My current copy is an antique photocopy dating from 1974, with a first page that has largely faded into illegibility. And those old...

And the NASA figures I used in my calculation, of 0.6mrad/hr at the Moon compare to 1mrad/hr in cis-lunar space, folds in the effect of local...

Now an article in The Times, calling for China and the USA to join forces in space - "Why the U.S. and China Should Collaborate in Space" The...

This all sounds so very familiar - bandying the .24mgy/day figure about and the claims of GCRs and Moon radiation....

No one here argued that you did not see something of interest. What is in question is your interpretation of that event. If they are, yes....

Under two minutes with Google and here is an analysis of commercial cast iron with 20 odd elements https://eeodlewnia.pl/en/services/ Plus...

The simple answer is, of course, .24mgy/day is not the mission baseline so of course it was less than that. And no, that is not complicated and I...

Okay, this makes a lot more sense. Lord Foul, your claim was that an astronaut’s radiation dose on the Moon would be 30 to 40% higher than in...

As I see it, if this had a very unusual isotope mix, that would be at least cause for serious investigation. It depends, but generally speaking,...

I think it means ppm by volume, as this is the usual measure for concentrations of gases in an atmosphere.

Calculating doses in beyond my pay grade. My contention is Apollo 11's mission dosage is too low to have left LEO. If you doubt this simple fact...

Consider this article on moon dust and Apollo astronauts. https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2006/30jan_smellofmoondust

I can't really see what to make of it. What is the sample? Is it just a lump of metal with those elements in it? It seems weird to me, but nothing...

For those without access to AGU's "Space Weather", I have the pdf. Intersting quote from the abstract: Finally, we note that when considering...

I think that it is about time that you do calculate the radiation doses and show your results here. This is an official moderator request....

FYI: Here is a second more technical article that discusses the higher than expected lunar radiation. ...

Measurements taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter show that the number of high energy particles streaming in from space did not tail off...

Now please, we’ve discussed this, and that obviously is untrue. Of immediate relevance, the Moon also blocks much of the GCR that would otherwise...

Why, in your opinion, would that make it of special note?

I am pretty sure I have addressed this question a number of times but here we go. Background GCR radiation is .24mgy/day. This is true anywhere in...

Whereas I could be convinced of ET visitation, with good evidence. It’s something I spent a lot of time looking into, with quite a lot of hope. ...
