Is the temperature on my planet affected whenever my binary stars are aligned? Here I began exploring appearances of binary stars when standing on a planet. The planet orbits both stars. I've established through the help of this community that there are times that the two stars align and appear as one star. I've further established that solar radiation (solar storms) hitting ...

Would lensing make stars in a binary system appear further apart at sunset? I am revising my first draft and trying to add more evocative details. Here, I asked whether stars in a binary system are likely to fall on the ecliptic. As my hero hikes through the day and suns set approaches, would the suns appear to spread apart from one another from atmospheric lensing? Pos... (more) |

What conditions would cause electricity to create carbon monoxide? I've been mulling whether the local gaseous makeup of air is changed by electricity running along a wire. My previous question is on hold, and this one is different anyway. I couldn't find exactly what I needed on google. The corona effect is close, but on my fictional world the composition of the ...

What gases are made by a live, crackling, exposed electrical wire? Are gases altered by live electricity, such as might be found along a humming electric fence? They could be formed directly or indirectly through effects on EM field, ionization, or hydrolysis - My sole question is whether the gaseous makeup of air is changed by electricity running along a wire. Thi... (more) |

Do stars in a binary star system fall along the ecliptic? I am wondering about Tatooine, and was reading about binary systems here, which provided a lot of good basic food for thought. My specific question is not addressed at that link, and so I pose it here. Would the two suns (a la Tatooine's, not the other possible binary configurations at the link) li... (more) |

What would cause a deep vertical gorge in a mountainside, on Earth? I'd like earthquakes to cause deep gullies along some mountainsides of my planet. Here on earth, vertical fault scarps can form from earthquakes, but the examples I see online tend to be less gully - like and more sheer face like. I need gullies. I do not want water to form these gullies. But, I am... (more) |
