Follow the reluctant adventures in the life of a Welsh astrophysicist sent around the world for some reason, wherein I photograph potatoes and destroy galaxies in the name of science. And don't forget about my website, www.rhysy.net

Ask An Astronomer Anything At All About Astronomy (XXVII)

Questions, questions, questions...

1) Is the Orion drive really stupid ?
Only as stupid as your ugly face.

2) What's going on with Tabby's Star ?
Many things.

3) Shouldn't Dyson spheres be resistant to heat and hard to detect ?
No.

4) Could the ISS catch an astronaut if their tether broke ?
No.

5) Could the dimming of Tabby's Star be due to comets or sunspots ?
I dunno. Maybe.
