time to play catch up, people!
ok I'm still an idiot. Why can't we delete posts we accidentally submit while still working on them?
alright, now let's beat some records!
Aside from the ridiculously enormous planet (which is clearly silly), how is that 9th planet at 1°C and the others around it are at hundreds of °C?!
Has anyone found a hierarchical system with 7+ stars (that aren't the ones around supermassive black holes in the centre of galaxies)? They can be searched for using the filter but I've never seen one - or even one with just 7 stars. Are they even in the game?
θ Orionis has over a dozen. From 41 Orionis A to H, or HD 37020 to HD 37023,.
Spread out over various systems, it is really an open cluster. I don't think there are any known septenary hierarchical systems, and so none are generated procedurally by SE.
Just to be sure, what do you mean by hierarchical?
"hierarchical" is just like any smaller multiple system, with everything orbiting a single barycentre and the 'sub-systems' orbiting their own barycentres etc. a hierarchical 6-star system is usually three binary systems which could be all orbiting one barycentre or could be split off into two binaries that orbit their own barycentre, which in turn orbits the main barycentre (while the other binary orbits the main barycentre).
Like the Castor system. Each of the three 'stars' is a binary system in reality.
and septenary meas 7 right?
yeah I haven't found any 7 star systems using the filter yet, and nothing with more stars in them either - which is what I was asking about in the first place. Has anyone found a system with 8 or more stars (that wasn't a central galactic supermassive black hole and its companions)?
I looked through my saved locations and guess what?
RS 0-0-0-733-17113-7-2089718-166 is an octuple system with two planets. They do exist!
https://sta.sh/01y1s5x4q0ns (RS 0-0-0-163-17115-6-243428-398 2.1) this planet might have the deepest ocean yet at 160 km in depth. Crazy thing is that the temperature at the bottom of the ocean reaches 1653.8°C!
https://sta.sh/014sccdyu4dh not sure if it's a record breaker, can't be bothered checking, but RS 0-0-0-1016-7606-0-0-520 5 is a warm terra with a semi-major axis of 974 AU and an orbital period of 1755 years. However, just to make this even crazier, its rotational period is about 10 hours and a half. If my calculations are correct, this means that this planet's year contains 1.46 million days!


Reality TV game shows like the popular CBS series Survivor, herald the 'last person to remain on the island' as a hero. Newer shows, like NBC's The Biggest Loser, show the battle waged against obesity, documenting the often heroic triumphs of the contestants.
Reality shows; however, most often utilize cinemagic to paint a skewed reality for the audience. In real life, there is no 'immunity' granted when life's tribulations arise.
The reality TV trend is slowly fading, but the need for real heroes is still in high demand.
Over the next few months, Real Survivors from all over Pittsburgh will share their inspirational stories of survival in the series, The REAL Survivor.
Nicole Warden has many names – to name a few; Daughter, Mother, Wife, Friend, and Educator. The last name bestowed upon her was not attained easily – Survivor.
At 35 years-of-age, Nicole was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
In the interview below, Nicole shares her candid, witty, and inspirational story to offer hope to other women afflicted with the disease.
How did you discover that you had cancer?
What specific type of cancer were you diagnosed with having?
What were your initial treatment options?
Which option did you choose and why did you make the choice?
"I was; however, given the option to be a part of a study. In the study, I was to be given all of the protocol treatments, but in addition, given an extra drug that usually is given to women with metastatic disease. They wanted to see how it affected women with non-metastatic cancer. I chose to be a part of the study. What was nice was having a study coordinator to see me through the treatments, help me schedule appointments, check on me and any symptoms I was getting, and just be there as an extra person to talk to and ask questions.
What surprised you about your reaction to the treatments?
What advice would you offer to others who have been diagnosed with the same form of cancer?
Using only one word for each, describe yourself before your diagnosis, during your treatment, and now.
If you wish to send a note to Nicole, please email pittsburghvolunteeringexaminer@gmail.com and they will be forwarded to her.

Tomorrow we herald a new chapter in our country as we elect new leaders.
This election has been terribly divisive, pitting one group with another. Admittedly, I've been looking at what's happening through the social media lens and I am not happy with what I'm seeing. Friends unfollow friends. Passive aggressiveness displayed all over. Respected media establishments losing credibility over some newly created websites or blogs. Trolls everywhere. Photoshopped images, fabricated stories, conspiracy theories. A lot of hate and anger. I repeat, a lot of hate and anger.
In social media, there's no such thing as the "bigger man" and "taking the high road." Everyone just has to say something, anything.
Even the people I respect the most weren't able to escape this onslaught of hate. I was and still am terribly disappointed.
The only good thing I see of this is that we are finally showing that we are not apathetic at all. We feel passionately, after all.
Tomorrow we will elect new leaders. Despite political differences, I am hopeful that the Philippines will continue its path to progress and growth. I pray that we will have leaders, who will take us in that direction. I pray that God will guide them to advance the country's development over their own interests. Bayan muna bago ang sarili.
More importantly, I pray that we Filipinos will continue working hard. May we learn to respect and follow the law. May we learn not to cheat the government of taxes. May we learn not to bribe public officials, MMDA officers, government employees. May we learn the lesson that change should come from within.
Whoever wins the elections tomorrow, please don't disappoint us. And to the 110 million Filipinos here and abroad, please don't disappoint your country. For the sake of the Philippines, please be responsible citizens.
