The concept of blink planets is an interesting one. Blink planets are basically the points on a globe that appears to disappear and reappear at different times. For example, on our planet, the Earth is the blink planet. On Venus, the planet most akin to the Earth, you will see Venus appear, then go away, then reappear. On the other side of the galaxy, the Sun is the blink planet. The Moon is the blink planet on our home galaxy, the Milky Way.
It’s a pretty cool concept, and I’m pretty excited about it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blink planet before, and I haven’t been to the other planets either. The world of the blink planet seems to be a pretty huge deal, so I’m going to be checking it out when I can (I hope).
Our friend Mark, who writes about video games and technology in his blog has a really good writeup on what we’ve been seeing today in the blink planet arena.
Mark has a really interesting blog post called “Blink: The Moon is the Blink Planet”. He points out that while the moon has a long history of being the first planet to go nova, there is no evidence that it ever went nova.
The nova theory is pretty popular among scientists, and we can only hope that Mark is right. While we do know that the moon underwent a nova event in the past (during a supernova), we have no evidence to support the theory that it did so now. I was once told about the nova theory, but it didn’t seem to make any sense.
Well, it’s not clear that there is a nova event in the past, and that the theory holds up in the present. As for the present, there are two theories. The first is that the nova event happened on the moon, and that the moon was the source of the supernova we see now. The second theory is that the supernova happened on Earth, not the moon, and that the moon (and not Earth) is the source of the nova.
I am not sure what the nova event actually is, but the theory that we are seeing is very similar to the one put forth by the scientist who discovered the light show in the sky, that it is the result of a nova event. For a long time, the consensus among astronomers was that the supernova that happened on the moon was related to the nova event on Earth, but now there is more evidence that points to the moon as being the probable origin of the supernova.
For years astronomers debated about the origin of the nova event, and the consensus is that it was a supernova that occurred some time between 9 and 11 billion years ago. They thought that since the sun was much larger than the supernova that would have produced the nova, but now there is more evidence that it was a moon that exploded.
So now we can finally confirm that this nova event was caused by a solar flare, which is a big deal because it’s the first time that we’ve seen a supernova in the aftermath of a solar flare.
The sun’s corona is constantly bombarded by ultra-high energy particles that are constantly bombarded by high energy particles from the sun itself. The corona is mostly composed of highly ionized hydrogen, and its so hot that it can also have a lot of metals and elements. However, some of the metals and elements are so hot that they burn and produce energy in their own right.
