But what a surprise! The Celestial bodies behave exactly like real objects each with its own internal structure moving-around & obstructing the light of eachother! Occultations by Luna, asteroids, or Rings of Saturn or Ouranos yield meaningful occultation data about object being occulted thereby.
Impacts may provide heat for aqueous alteration and organic solid formation on asteroid parent bodies doi.org/10.1038/s43247-02…
i propose we name the next discovered asteroid or celestial body "Rata"
Survey discussing future resource extraction on bodies such as asteroids, moons, and planets
Hello, I'm working on a research paper about the possibilities surrounding resource extraction off-planet and how it can help humans further our knowledge and ability to explore and exploit space. If you have the time I would appreciate your assistance in filling out this survey. It is 12 questions, and will take at maximum 5 minutes of your time. Any responses help a ton.

TIL of a widely held theory that both Neptune's Triton moon, and Saturn's Phoebe moon, originated in the Kuiper Belt, a circumstellar disc in the outer solar system beyond Neptune many believe contains comets, asteroids, and other small bodies made largely of ice, including Pluto. wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper…
[WP] An asteroid hits earth and destroys mankind, but you suddenly woke up on an iridescent room and the creature floating next you says "we recovered your DNA and rebuilt your body, please, can you tell us what happened in the last days before the impact?"
Anyone else had this? Just as i was about to start asteroids, a dead body was reported. But the animation and conversation and voting were to the right
Deep within the confines of the cosmos, a ship emerged from a thawing ice asteroid. Discovered by Flagbearer Ibmamata in HUB2-1E, this white mosquito displays V-wings, Clamtail, Acanthus symbol and Gold finish. This is Hunakad's Frozen Redemption. Be warned, previous owners lost all body warmth.
Nice asteroid body. Frozen section of synovium for neutrophils.
Rotation of Ceres, the closest dwarf planet, and the largest body in the Asteroid Belt! [OC* see comments]

The cigar-shaped interstellar object ‘Oumuamua may have been ripped from its parent body (ranging from large asteroid to super-Earth) after a close encounter with its host star. After a band of particles were torn away, they refroze in an elongated shape before being tossed toward our solar system. astronomy.com/news/2020/0…
If an asteroid wiped out humanity, burying our bodies far beneath the surface, under huge pressure and heat for milllions of years, turning us into oil. What are the chances of intelligent species coming to life, extracting us, molding us into colorful shafts that pleasure their genitals?
Edit: i know todays oil consist most of plants and algea, but what if next batch of oil would be us?

The Nasa spacecraft Osiris-Rex has gone into orbit around an ancient asteroid, setting a pair of records. It entered orbit on Monday around Bennu, the smallest celestial body ever to be orbited by a spacecraft, at just 500 metres across, barely a mile above the asteroid’s surface, another record. theguardian.com/science/2…

The 4 Vesta asteroid is currently making a drive-by visit to Earth. The asteroid, more than 300 miles in diameter, the second most massive body in the main asteroid belt, is now so close to Earth that at night, you can see it with your very own eyes — no telescope required. inverse.com/article/46510…
Scientists of Reddit - when the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs and other species hit, isn’t almost 100% likely that at least some animals bodies got blown into space and as a result wouldn’t there still be fully preserved Dino-popsicles orbiting the planet somewhere?
New research paper, "An extraterrestrial trigger for the mid-Ordovician ice age: Dust from the breakup of the L-chondrite parent body", shows asteroid dust clouds may have sparked new life on Earth 470m years ago, before an asteroid crashed on Earth 67m years ago and killed off the dinosaurs. theguardian.com/science/2…

Upvote this post if you wanna see isaac doing a video on biomining (using bacteria to mine asteroid and other outer space bodies)
Hello everyone i just watched Anton latest video about biomining https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCvy8VyRpVo i never heard of this technique before and have to say it really got me interested natural resources are the backbone of human civilization (and any space civilization) and i always was frustrated how we see very little innovation in the mining industry compared to other industries probably because of regulations and hard access and other economic factors Anyway i think this a perfect subject for isaac to take a deep dive into so just wanted to share this with all of you guys
How small can an astronomical body (e.g. an asteroid) be before a human could no longer "stand on" it?
I.e., at what point is the gravity of the larger body small enough for the human to be merely floating along with it in space as opposed to being pulled towards it appreciably?
You can change the orbital path of any celestial body, whether a tiny asteroid, or a colossal planet.

All the atoms and particles that make up your body were once part of a star or dinosaur or something, and will be what makes up the grass or an asteroid one day.
Billions of years ago, the particles in your body were strewn about the universe in stars and asteroids.
Geological Map of Vesta, second largest body in the asteroid belt [3075 x 1545]
So I wanted one of the asteroids to crash into another one and move off into the distance (space scene). I tried a whole bunch with collisions and rigid bodies but I can't figure it out. If you guys can help me out it will be a big help.
