I heard on the local news this morning that NASA is launching a new telescope this week. I feel like I should be more excited, but the next one's already planned for 2027.

You should really be more exited for this... besides the price...

If nothing else, watch the unfolding at minute 12...
Space is awesome...
I was blown away by IRAS when it found Nemesis. Some actually like LUCIFER.
Look at the minute 19, where the mirrors are made out of gold, that does not reflect blue light well, but it collects red light very well...
It can detect objects that give 1 photon per second (around minute 21). Just watch it...

I think I'm more credible than Wikipedia at this point in time
(at least, for fringe things that people have different opinions about, have you seen the "talk" in some WP entries? Whole wars are going on there just for a paragraph).But, don't take my word:
And yes, if you take nemesis as a brown dwarf, then this new body has too little mass to even fit the definition... and is too cold if it has the same density as jupiter. But what if it doesnt? News back then said that Nemesis was found.
Is Jupiter a Failed Star? | Astronomy.com
Although Jupiter is large as planets go, it would need to be about 75 times its current mass to ignite nuclear fusion in its core and become a star.

The weird thing is that we know there's stuff out there, but they still fail to update our textbooks, for example Planet 10 (or planet 9 now that Pluto is demoted). Note that this object is 3 to 5 times (article says 10 times, paper says 3 to 5) the mass of the earth. So it's not a Jupiter like thing:
Caltech Researchers Find Evidence of a Real Ninth Planet
Planet Nine's existence was discovered by Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown through mathematical modeling and computer simulations.

Here is a nice one (long video included; by non-binding vote, pluto is a planet again...): https://www.cosmosup.com/pluto-is-a-planet-again/
from the comments: Earth does NOT clear it's orbital path... hence, according to the new definition that demoted Pluto from being a planet... Earth isn't one either.

The fuck? Apart from satellites starting with Sputnik 1 but increasting over the years, although those perhaps should be in the same category or our natural moon, we only get hit by significant bodies about once every ten years (when was that russian one again?).

That's the point, I guess, Luna is too big to be a moon.
But there are many other discriminants (to define if something is a planet or not). The video is too simplified, but Margot (just to pick one) has a better formula (if Π > 1 then it's a planet):
Clearing the neighbourhood - Wikipedia
mass of Luna is 1/81 of Earth's (assuming all other numbers stay the same like distance to the sun, mass of the sun and the value of k), so 810/81 = 10. So the moon's Π=10 and that's bigger than 1 so it's a planet... so the Earth-Moon orbital is a twin-planet thing... that's science in 2021...
One day time is absolute, then it's suddenly relative...
One day the earth is round, the other it's pear shaped
One day the earth's tilt is $x, the other it's $x+$d (https://www.space.com/climate-change-tilting-earth-axis)
One day asbestos is good, the other asbestos is bad
One day wind energy is good, the other it is bad ()
One day smoking is good, the other day it is bad
One day things are getting better, the other day things are not
One day you abhor eating a fetus, the other day you just inject fetus into your bloodstream

Hmm I was always taught that pi was 3.14159... (an irrational number).
I assume Luna is your name for our Moon, certainly the mass seems to match. Yes, it is a very large satellite but not the largest in the solar system (but the bigger ones are moons of bigger planets). Yes some scientists think that before the earth solidified, when it was still all molten rock and stuff, it was hit by a large object which caused the moon to be ejected. I mean it's almost certainly different in origin to Mars moons (Phobos and the other one), which are almost certainly asteroids that got captured into an orbit around Mars, probably while it was clearing it's orbit, but I don't know about any of the more significant moons in the solar system (Ganymede and so on).

Yes, I used Luna to differentiate A moon with OUR moon.
As for the theories... 4 were proposed. All four pointed out "if this happens, then your theory is not good". All four were invalidated. Best answer at the moment is: We don't know, but my favourite one is....
giant impact theory / the capture theory / the co-creation theory / the fission theory / God put it there
As for the greek capital P constant, its: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_the_neighbourhood#Margot's_Π

Now that I have a whole year time until the high tech Gameboy, I think I could make my Mario 8/16 Bit Projekt really true on the Pyra, Mario Land 1 was quite fast as it’s not that big, even if you play the GB and the SNES Remake on one afternoon,
Mario Land 2 is a bit bigger, but should also be fast if I don’t fail that much.. and I remember I was in the last world in my last play , I never played Mario Land 3 but as I have now the Gameboy Cardridge; I think I can put it to my Project Playlist ^^
I never finished the Super Mario Bros Games, so this will be a Challenge,
It’s nice that the Pyra GB and SNES Emulator got a cool Savestate Funktion
I wonder how long it will take till Yoshis Island, but I have time until Q 4 when I wants to replay the stuff on the Analogue Pocket, ..

I don’t know if the Everdrive GBA works on the Analogue Pocket, so I’m stuck whit games I also have as GBA Cardridge..
whe will know in Q4

There are ROM patches... uh... from romhacking where the levels are redesigned and some are fun to play because they are so different. For example the hack "Super Mario Bros. 2" by RidleyX for the NES not sure if you go lower than SNES, but NES is still fun.

Yes, that's why I don't use wikipedia for most political stuff (except for covid stats I guess which have become political these days I guess).Wikipedia Co-Founder Calls it Untrustworthy: 'Nasty, Complex Games' to Manipulate Articles

Well, it's attributed to Larry Sanger not Jimmy Wales. Jimmy is still very much involved in wilkipedia and it's foundation while Larry isn't and it wouldn't surprise me he's become a little jaded about it.
