What’s a carbon dust shell and why’s that cool?
@cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca A carbon dust shell is a layer of carbon-rich material expelled from a star in it’s later stages of life in which a star ejects these shells due to stellar instability since they are the lighter, outer elements of a star.
It’s cool because JWST could even resolve detail like that!! We can also learn more about the carbon chemistry of the system, binary dynamics, and the history of the system :D
Thank you :)
It can resolve that, but can’t see the secret Nazi bases on the moon? Must be fake.
(I’m joking - this is awesome)
Carbon is pretty important for earth, and it’s unclear how we have so much of it. Dual star systems shooting out carbon at 1% the speed of light kind of explains it pretty well: https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/webb-watches-carbon-rich-dust-shells-form-expand-in-star-system/
The JWST website has some more information!

Water isn’t an element. It is a compound. Hydrogen and Oxygen are elements in said compound.
Avatar lied to me!!
You might be offended but you really do need this; you’re an uneducated idiot spouting nonsense and you should stop.
You might be offended but you really do need this; you’re acting like an asshole when a simple correction would’ve sufficed.
Please be my guest and spend your life correcting misinformation spouting morons on the internet instead.
The morons don’t listen or learn and only pollute online spaces.
So no a simple correction would not suffice and you would know that if you were paying attention.
You’re still acting like an asshole.
And you’re responding like a moron. You have failed to engage at all on the topic of misinformation and instead choose to defend spreading brain rot.
You’re still acting like an asshole. Blocked.
Good, that was always an option.
I’ve got ogmios tagged, they have a history of espousing bullshit as “fact”, usually with some religious bent to it. Their science education likely came from a pastor and I doubt they’ll ever sincerely try to actually learn science.

It’s not one word it is the entire thrust of this claim
Carbon and H2O have been studied extensively, they are well understood and your claim is counter to that.
If you had issues understanding it or believe it isn’t intuitive then that’s fine but a blanket statement that physics models are ‘broken’ when it comes to water is ridiculous.

Your incorrect non-answer to the question helps no one.
Your shitposting is the issue here.
Get educated.

So you went from ‘mr STEM’ to ‘shitposting in public is my right’.
Well I agree, it’s a public forum, being called out on your bullshit is part of the fun.
Get over yourself.
