How would the explosion of a major planet in our own solar system effect the CMB?

Questions by e-mail
Gosh, I've never thought about planet's exploding! I can't see that this has anything much to do with the CMB, which is much more "cosmic" than the mere explosion of a ball of rock and gas.

Can I see the CMB for myself?

Cosmic Microwave Background - FAQs
In fact you can! If you tune your TV set between channels, a few percent of the "snow" that you see on your screen is noise caused by the background of microwaves. The theory of special relativity is based on the principle that there are no preferred reference frames. In other words, the whole of Einstein's theory rests on the assumption that physics works the same irrespective of what speed and direction you have.

Is Planet X / Niburu causing comets to fall into the solar system from the Oort Cloud?

Planet X / Niburu Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Bad Ast...
Recently astronomers have seen evidence of disturbances in what is called the Oort Cloud. They theorize that these disturbances could be caused by a large object, possibly even an undiscovered planet, which they dubbed Planet X. Such a planet would stay outside our solar system in the Oort Cloud, but may be responsible for comets falling into the system in a somewhat regular pattern as it knocks them out of the cloud.

Is Pluto a planet?

Photojournal FAQ
There is debate within the science community as to whether Pluto should be classified as a Planet or a dwarf planet. On August 24, 2006 the word "planet" was given a scientific definition by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly. As a result, Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet and included in a class of celestial bodies which currently includes Ceres and Eris (formerly know as Xena or UB313). More dwarf planets are expected to be announced by the IAU in the future.

Why does the CMB support the Big Bang picture?

Cosmic Microwave Background - FAQs
The basic point is that the spectrum of the CMB is remarkably close to the theoretical spectrum of what is known as a "blackbody", which means an object in "thermal equilibrium". Thermal equilibrium means that the object has had long enough to settle down to its natural state. Your average piece of hot, glowing coal, for example, is not in very good thermal equlibrium, and a "blackbody" spectrum is only a crude approximation for the spectrum of glowing embers.

What sort of telescope is used to observe the CMB?

Cosmic Microwave Background - FAQs
Like light at any other wavelength the general system is a dish to collect and focus the radiation, a way of feeding the radiation to the instruments, and then the instruments themselves which are used to detect and record the signals. For microwaves the dish, or set of dishes, is made of a material (metal) which reflects microwaves. The focussed radiation is transported to the receivers by means of "wave-guides", which are pipes specially tuned to transmit microwave signals.

What should be my major?

Health Professions @ ESF - FAQs
Most applicants to health professions schools have majored in a biological discipline. However, a biology major is not a requirement to apply: health professions schools accept applications from a variety of undergraduate majors ranging across the scientific disciplines: even the humanities. You should keep in mind, however, that all the health professions schools require that you take a certain minimum of science courses. See this FAQ for more details about this.

What are considered to be the major disadvantages associated with solar lighting?

C:\fencecom\public_html\hooverfence\server-side\fencecom-foo...
First of all, by definition solar lights must have sun during the day to charge the batteries. The length of time that the lights stay on at night are in direct proportion to the amount of sun exposure during the day. Very simply, the better the sun exposure during the day the longer the lights stay on at night. See the bar chart at left that has been compiled to show what sort of on times you can expect in locations within the United States.

Is there a planet called the X planet?

The Solar System: Frequently Asked Questions
Planet X was first suggested on the basis of anomalies in the orbits of the outer planets (Neptune, I think), but the interest has since died down as the anomalies have been shown to be measurement errors. As far as I know there is no evidence for a planet X. There is no evidence of an ancient rock record on Venus today. In fact, the surface is quite young and has been completely resurfaced by volcanic eruptions.

What will the effect of the altitude be?

FAQ
Depends mostly on your genetics but if you are reasonably healthy you will probably feel a bit lightheaded and giddy or sleepy. A few people will feel nothing and a few people will have a bit of minor distress perhaps requiring oxygen. There are no after effects and because our stay at high level is fairly brief there is not much likelihood of more serious problems developing..
