The new video on You Tube is a 4000 .jpg stack of Ray Tracings and models the USGS DEMS of the Grand Canyon in an exaggerated way to possibly resemble the Uranus system's frozen and broken moon Miranda. The YT licensed music is by John Serrie…Space music artist extraordinaire…

Landscapes of the mind

 

At the edge of the solar system, Uranus & Neptune would be the 1^st planets that automated explorers would encounter coming in from other systems.

Learning the constellations and associated multicultural lore of the stars, is one activity we practice… It helps keep things in perspective…

The Drake Equation is always a good conversation vehicle and we never tire of running and discussing the scenarios. My results always come back at a very low fraction of one. There are plenty of Drake Equation Tests out there with a simple search. Try it.

The Broken Ice Moon of Uranus is named after Miranda in The Tempest...

 

Our radio signals have reached out in a hundred light year bubble that encompasses 3-5 thousand star systems and considering the low numbers I find in Drake, its probably not a thing to lose sleep over. But if some AI does come calling, my new Windhawk Survey Series on YT is how it might start…Its also hats off to Neal Asher’s Polity Universe…CPD (Can’t Put Down) Science Fiction like no one else.

Kind of a King, Gaiman, Herbert mash up…
