To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Very cool. And that collision is merely one AU away (AU = Astronomical Unit = 93 million miles). That is awfully darned close, by astronomical standards!

But the big question is, "is it slowing down?"

Hubble is probably the best thing we ever put in space. That image is truly amazing, and after reading this you can really see a movie scenario like 'Deep Impact' happening.
