NEW HABITABLE PLANET DISCOVERED PROXIMA !

[Anonymous No.12474322]

>We find evidence for a second short period signal with a period of 5.15 days and a semi-amplitude of 0.4m·s−1. If caused by a planetary companion, it would correspond to a minimum mass of 0.29 ± 0.08 M⊕ at an orbital distance of 0.02895 ± 0.00022 AU, with an equilibrium temperature of 330 ± 30 K

proxima centauri D not B

Its 4 light years away orbiting the closest star to earth, using project Orion we could get there in 20-40 years. despite not being in the habitable zone 10-20% of its surface area would be 0-40 Celsius due to being tidally locked. it likely has a thick abiotic oxygen atmosphere. 60% earth gravity.

It will destroy the atmosphere you retard. And given that this place is tidally locked and smaller than earth that means it’s magnetosphere is probably weaker which means it’s even more likely to have any atmosphere blown into space by the solar winds.

The coming Pax Sinica will be blessing upon the world. Clean, modern cities that are safe to live in, modern fast transport infrastructure, space colonies on the Moon and Mars.
Thanks to China we will be living in Star Trek future. I am sure with time they will offer to clean up American and West European cities too just like they are doing to Africa.
I am moving to China next year and plan on having Chinese wife and hapa kids. I hope they and their descendants will be integrated into Chinese society eventually.
West had its day but it is clear it has now passed its usefulness to human race.
By having Chinese children I will be certain my progeny one day will stand on the surface of Mars, Ceres, Titan and Alpha Centauri B, while America will be treated like ZOO and Europe as tourist attraction at best.
The future belongs to Asia

It does when the gravity is 6 ms-2 and the orbit is sun-facing all the time. There's no magnetic field here.
This place is not holding its atmosphere.

Orion is good for getting off our own gravity well. Great, actually.
To get to another solar system I think we'd prefer something more efficient at ejecting propellant in space.
So: use Orion to assemble such a starship in, say, EarthLuna L1. Shift it around with shitty chemical rockets to ELL2. Fire THAT puppy up in Proxima's direction.
As for what the starship (which isn't Orion) is, Zubrin's saltwater engine looked good.

>warp 4
Warp 4 is about 100x the speed of light, Proxima Centauri is about 4.2 ly away, so it would take a little over 4 days or so. Warp is actually relatively slow until you hit about warp 6 or so.

The warp 10 = infinity is such a dumb way of measuring speed. They should have just stuck with some kind of exponential like a basic logarithmic increase of 1 in scale is 10 times faster.

[Anonymous No.12480445]

>>12476369
the fastest manmade object, Helios 2, travelled 157,000 mph at its peak
That is approx. 70,000m/s, or 0.02% the speed of light
It would take 17,000 years for a probe travelling at that speed to reach any member of alpha centauri (A, B, C)

On the plus side, 2 of our 3 nearest neighbors are sun-like and have a binary orbit, so it may well be worth it. Imagine hearing reports from a 17,000 year old ancient civ. probe

My department had a talk from a guy at Marshall before all this Covid shit started - apparently one of the projects on NASA's to-do-list is a combination solar probe-slash-deep space probe. They want to do a massive slingshot maneuver and try to aim it at a star on the way out. Apparently they think they could optimistically get it up to ~1 AU a day on the way out (~0.5% c).

Bitch please. "A narrow band signal at 960 Mhz has been detected originating from the Proxima Centauri System with characteristics consistent with a planetary origin" is big news.

[Anonymous No.12480842]

>>12476365
It’s supposed to be a moon so even if the planet it orbits is always facing the star this moon would take cover around it serving as a sort of night.

And since the parent is either a super earth or a gas giant it’s probably gonna have a particularly strong magnetosphere which could protect the moon from having it’s atmosphere blown off.

But this is all incredibly optimistic and it’s likely a total shithole.

>“BLC1 is, for all intents and purposes, just a tone, just one note,” Siemion says. “It has absolutely no additional features that we can discern at this point.” And second, the signal “drifts,” meaning that it appears to be changing very slightly in frequency—an effect that could be due to the motion of our planet, or of a moving extraterrestrial source such as a transmitter on the surface of one of Proxima Centauri’s worlds. But the drift is the reverse of what one would naively expect for a signal originating from a world twirling around our sun’s nearest neighboring star. “We would expect the signal to be going down in frequency like a trombone,” Sheikh says. “What we see instead is like a slide whistle—the frequency goes up.”

So its getting closer as its broadcasted, does the planet rotate at the opposite direction than expected like Venus or Uranus, or could the doppler shift correspond to unexpected retrograde or skewed translation. Anyone now the resolution of measurements that could say smthn abt this?
