ooook were is your question!?!?!?!?!?

Usually when the answer is posted the answerer waits fro a confirmation post from the questioner (most events are like this, save fast facts last year)

[isotelus]

Seeing how no one has asked a question or confirmed in a while, I'll take over.

1. Name and describe the design flaw in the Cassini-Huygens mission that led to a rethinking of the information travel and why it was so, and what the scientists in charge did.

2. Name the order of the 5 major named dwarf planets with their locations.

3. Describe and explain the controversy over the discovery of Haumea.

4. What are Phoebe and Mimas orbiting around?

5. 2005 FY9 is more commonly known as what?

1. if im gonna be honest i have no idea
2. In what order? Distance? Eris (Kuiper Belt) , Makemake..? (Kuiper Belt) , Pluto.? (Kuiper Belt) Haumea..? (Kuiper Belt) , Ceres (Asteroid Belt) 3. I believe Mike Brown and his team and the Palomar observatory discovered Haumea first but at the time another group was also discovering it. But later confirmation of pictures proved that Mike Brown and his team really did discover it first. 4. Saturn 5. Makemake

[isotelus]

1. because of the doppler shift, it couldn't send information
2. yes, distance- but it is Eris, Makemake, Haumea, Pluto, and Ceres
3. that works
4. nice
5. nice

Go ahead!

1. What is it called when 3 celestial bodies are aligned, example : an eclipse

2. What's the crater on Mimas called?

3. What are the bright spots on Ceres called?

4. What objects did the mission Dawn visit?

[Kylari04]

1.Syzygy

2.Crater Herschel!

3.Uh, I’m gonna guess and say salt spots?

4.The dwarf planet Ceres and the asteroid Vesta in the asteroid belt.

Correct!

Although number 4 is usually called Faculae Your turn!

1.Certain Trojans were discovered recently. Name which celestial object they follow and what they are called.

2.Certain moons that orbit Saturn are larger than Pluto. They are also round in shape, do not fuse hydrogen, and have not cleared their orbits. Why then are they not considered dwarf planets?

3.Dawn used a certain kind of propulsion. Name it, and explain one advantage and one disadvantage it has.

Hard questions. #1 confuses me though, there have been a lot of Trojans discovered recently, I'll do #2 - 3 lol.

2. Because they orbit a planet, therefore making them a moon. (I think) 3. (This is coming straight from my cheat sheet) Delta II 7925H Ion Thrusters, I believe an advantage to Ion Thrusters is how fast the rocket goes, but a disadvantage is how much energy it uses. Or it could be vice versa.

[Kylari04]

#2 is right, and #3 is good except you have it reversed lol. Also, for #1, I was talking about Kordylewski Clouds that are Trojans of the Earth-Moon system.

Your turn!

P.S. Also, how do you hide your answers?
