DOE is heavily involved in this telescope. Is that odd?
why is there so much weirdness around observatories?
>vatican telescope (the pope scope)
also
FBI raid on Sunspot Observatory in New Mexico.
>dozens of agents, lightning mid-day raid in Blackhawk helicopter
>ordered sheriff to guard the gate without telling him why. Sheriff gets pissed and leaves, but nobody notices.
>evacuated the Observatory, post office, visitor center, and residences for weeks.
>Official story: night janitor sharing CP via company wifi. Just like with the Taos terrorist camp, the local news accepts the official story, no further inquiry needed.
>No arrests made.
ALSO: dozens of observatories around the world shutdown the same week with no explanation
>>40591801Is this current stuff? They made a huge deal about this Rubin telescope, spec wise it is. But their live streamed reveal of it was weird. Full of political speeches and nothing to do with the actual telescope just the "program" or "mission"
>>40591386 (OP)It’s supposed to give us a more definitive answer on whether Planet 9 exists in our solar system. For a number of reasons we haven’t been able to pin it down. I’m calling it now, a black hole is a possibility, and that’s what it probably is.
>Why? I heard a psychic talk about some new discovery in space that’s supposed to change our world. And a primordial black hole in our solar system would do that
>>40592133Im not opposed to that idea but I dont think it would be a black hole. A rogue planet or star has a higher probability. Star is more probable but would be easily detected. A Planet would be more likely if it had very low albedo but also massive.
>>40592169I don’t even like that there’s a 1% chance
>>40592365You should always consider that every new "possibility" has at least a 1% chance. I think the first atomic bomb had a higher chance of destroying the world but they did it anyway.
