Talk:Aurelia and Blue Moon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't it POV to use the word "unfortunately":

"Unfortunately the largest non-pulsar planet yet found OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb (as of January 2006), has a mass of 5.5 times Earth's and orbits the red dwarf star OGLE-2005-BLG-390L. And everything smaller orbits pulsar PSR 1257+12."

This is clearly a POV. For example, a creationist would find it good that the largest planet has a mass of 5.5 times Earth's etc... So I suggest to erase the word "unfortunately".

[edit] Continental Drift on Aurelia?

If Aurelia had continental drift, then, it seems to me, land life would be a rather unstable proposition. Any creature that left the sea would either go extinct, or be forced to return to the sea, once the continent it was on moved either to the sunlit side or the night side. Likewise, there would be many seas that would drift to one side or the other Nik42 06:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Aurelia-like planets can not have continental drift. They are tidally locked with their parent star due to gravitational effects. For similar reasons, the moon has no plate techtonics. 88.111.122.220 23:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Not true. The moon has no plate tectonics because it does not have enough fissionable material at its core and its surf/volume is higher, so it has frozen solid. And besides, without plate tectonics / vulcanism rebuilding the continents, erosion would destroy them in short order, esp. in such high wind/rain conditions. --72.252.40.68 19:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ripoff of Alien Planet?

I saw this show, I liked it, but I have a feeling that this show is a ripoff of Alien PLanet (love that show) because their release dates were close, and that their about alien planets (I don't hate extraterrestrial). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.181.226.86 (talk) 22:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

The background of the two shows are a little different. Alien Planet is based on a book called Expedition, while this series is an extrapolation of scientist's expetations for the best places to point the TPF telescope (or a future planet finding telescope, should it be launched). Hope that helps. Coricus 04:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other similar docus?

I have to admit that I really liked those shows. Is there more media available? [Besides "Alien Planet" which is just Sci-Fi] ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.227.147.0 (talk) 12:34, August 20, 2007 (UTC)
