[Q&A] Dark Matter Evidence, Oort Cloud Shape, Size of Lagrange Points
Om avsnittet
Will LIGO detect gravitational waves when Betelgeuse explodes? Why are scientists so sure about dark matter? Could Betelgeuse become a black hole after it goes supernova? Why is the Oort cloud a sphere, not a disk? What determines the size of Lagrange points?
