Pandora: searching exomoons.

 Pandora: searching exomoons. 


When we make models of another solar system, we use our solar system as a model. That means the gas giants should have moons because most of the planets in our solar system have moons. But we have not yet seen one. The reason for that is that those exoplanets, like gas giants, can be so massive that small moons cannot cause anomalies in their trajectories. And most of the exomoons should be quite small objects. 

If some large, about Earth-size moon, orbits some massive planet or brown dwarf and the system will not make over overpass between its star and Earth, and the moon doesn't travel between its planet or brown dwarf and Earth those kinds of moons are hard to detect. And if that moon orbits bright stars like G-2 or Sun-type stars it's even harder to see. The star's brightness will not decrease if a small planet travels between it and Earth. Also normal stellar activity, like starspots, can cause changes in the star's brightness.

"Research reveals that giant gas planets in other star systems often make their Earth-like neighbors uninhabitable by disrupting orbits and climates. Unlike Jupiter’s protective role in our solar system, these planets frequently prevent the development of stable, life-supporting conditions, highlighting the exceptional nature of our planetary configuration.

Large gas giants can also endanger lifeforms in exoplanet systems. Large and massive exoplanets pull objects to them. And especially in young solar systems cosmic impacts can strip atmospheres off the planets. Also in more mature systems gas giants pull comets and asteroids to them. And the main question is can the large moon host lifeforms? 

The risk of cosmic impacts is higher near large and massive exoplanets. That thing can cause possible lifeforms can form later on those moons. But otherwise, we can say that Titan has also an atmosphere, and we have not seen any devastating impacts with asteroids and Titan. 

We know that in the past that kind of impact destroyed many protoplanets in the chaotic young solar system. One of those impacts, Earth's impact with a large asteroid or protoplanet Theia almost destroyed Earth. Remnants of that impact still exist in Earth's Magma. Also if the exomoon is too close to its giant planet, that planet can strip off its moon's atmosphere. 

But otherwise, the exomoons can have bigger tidal water. And that means they can be good places for life forms and evolution. But there is a possibility that those tidal forces lock the moon to its planet. That means the hypothetical exomoon would always turn the same side to its planet. In that case, the day on that exomoon lasts the same time as its orbiting time. 

Does the planet lock its moon? That depends on the distance of the moon from its planet. In some models. That moon would travel through the planet's shadow. But the moon can have a polar trajectory that can make it possible for an exomoon's rotation time around its axle could be 24 hours. The distance to the exoplanet determines does the moon locks.

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with th

Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.

  Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.  Could a hypothetical Planet X tunnel all radiation?  The myth of Planet X still lives. Nobody ever saw that planet, and the thing that supports the theory of previously unknown large-size planets in Kuiper's belt are mysterious anomalies in Neptune's trajectory. The thing is that nothing else supports the theory of the existence of the "invisible planet". The size of the planet must be very big. And its gravitational field strong that it can affect Neptune's trajectory.  And the search for that mysterious planet is very long work. In some visions, the mysterious gravitational source is mentioned as the small black hole, but nobody understands why that black hole doesn't seem to interact.  In some other theories, Planet X is a glimpse of dark matter. And that thing makes it invisible. But there is one weakness. The dark matter object must have some kind of

Nanoparticles are excellent tools for medicine transporters.

"Researchers have developed a new therapy for pancreatic cancer involving nanoparticles that stimulate immune responses and improve drug delivery. This innovative method has led to significant tumor reduction in mice and holds potential for treating other cancers.

The idea is that the same system that feeds those cells transports those nanoparticles into cells that need medicine. When a nanoparticle goes, into a cell, it releases the chemicals into the targeted cells. Because nanoparticles don't let medical molecules interact with a body that makes it possible to create new and more powerful cytostatics. Nanoparticles can transport things like ricin molecules into wanted cells.  Ricin is one of the most poisonous chemicals. That chemical is useful for next-generation cytostatics, if researche
