If you want a fun math puzzle find out how many photons are received by a detector by a reflective object in deep space, then do the same for a blackbody.

Depending on your chosen parameters it can be quite sparse. Try tracking something that only has a detectable photon every few minutes or hours. Even better when that photon is lower energy than the background stars and solar system clutter.

In a semi-related note here's a detection/nose problem.

Last day for /sci/-specific voting!

Also, which is healthier, swimming or running?

>Venus
A pseudo-twin to earth, from hell.

>Mars
Wistful lost sister, with a sad past but hope for the future
>Jupiter
Big motherfucker of the place, kick-ass rainbow storms and some tight moons
>Saturn
Instantly recognizable silhouette, you see the ball with the ring and you know it's motherfucking Saturn. The beauty everyone is after. Also has some sick moons
>Uranus

Sickass inverted rotation axis, secret hidden rings
>Neptune
Not as cool as Uranus, but still has some pretty badass winds and storms
>Pluto
Hidden mystique, a forlorn planet that might hide some mysteries.

>Mercury
Small hot rock.

Mercury is the worst planet of the solar system, most boring and has no mysteries.
