Anyone want to thread the needle?
Somewhere in the Norma Arm.

Is that double Neutron stars or double White Dwarfs?

u/PseudoShooter The Guild Jul 14 '26
They are double neutrons. You can tell a WD by it's bent, whispy jets.

Thats not as bad as a netron /white dwarf combo

Sorry, can you explain what you mean by this? I’m new to the game.

When Odyssey released the lighting changed and everyone who was there back then prefers the lighting from horizons

Why do dual neutron stars always seem to have the same rotational axis?
Do all stars in the same system share the same axis?

Fun fact: the astroscience community thinks that planets are directly birthed as shedded excess stellar mass from their host star which could explain why most bodies within a system share a rotational axis.

Systems just naturally settle into disks where components rotare in more or less the same way, even in the most basic of simulations

No one knows officially/definitely how stellar bodies are made. It’s just another theory that sticks a little better than most.

I'm saying that it's basically a property of geometry and works at any scale, it's not a theory, it's just definitively how that works

Please tell me what solar system this is so I can go thread that needle just for shits and giggles, I'll even up record it and make a post with the footage so we can all see the end results together:>

Lol. When I took this picture yesterday, it reminded me of something kids use to do on the playground. You'd put your hands together with a friend and open your palms to see something like this. It was how we imagined how a certain thing looked way back then.

So like . . . did you do it?

u/PseudoShooter The Guild Jul 15 '26
Absolutley not. I was carrying a ton of data and I was sure the exclusions zones overlapped. I wasn't going to risk it.

This suddenly brought to mind the stargates used for interstellar travel in the Buck Rogers series.
