Chapter 445 - Observable debris
[Author: The formula for finding Roche limit d under ideal conditions is d3=a3×(density of large planet ÷ density of small planet). The value of a is based on the solidity of the small planet itself. If it is made of hard stones,
For hard objects, the value is 1.26, and if it is a complete fluid that can ebb and flow with gravity like seawater, the value is 2.42. Because of the impurity of small planets in reality, the value of a is generally here.
between the two numbers. In addition, in fact, this formula is only the most ideal formula and does not take into account centrifugal force and other related factors. However, the real formula is not suitable for Yuantai to do science popularization, and secondly, it is not suitable for me to do it for you.

"In short, Shoemaker Levi passed by Jupiter that day, and the distance was quite close," Honda continued to explain after seeing that Genta roughly understood why Shoemaker Levi was torn into pieces. "More importantly.
What's more, based on the orbit predictions at that time, they found that if Shoemaker-Levi's orbit was quite stable for two years, that is to say, if Shoemaker-Levi's disintegration was really caused by its explosion in July 1992
If it passed by Jupiter at that time, Shoemaker-Levi is likely to pass by Jupiter again in July 1994, and this time it is likely to be closer to Jupiter, or even directly hit it."
"The entire astronomical community was stunned, because they had never observed the collision of such a large comet and an important celestial body like Jupiter, so they invested great enthusiasm and energy to verify Shoemaker Levi
Will it hit Jupiter in July 1994?"
"Finally, they determined that Shoemaker Levi would collide with Jupiter in July this year, and Mr. Suzuki Jiroyoshi, who happened to see the news from the newspaper, proposed to the Tokyo Observatory to build the most unique astronomical observatory in the world.
We had the idea of an observatory and were willing to invest in it, so we have a high-altitude telescope that is unique in the world."
"Then when can we see it?" Mitsuhiko asked. "Just in the next few days?"
"That's not the case," Honda shook his head. "According to currently accepted predictions, Shoemaker-Levi's collision with Jupiter will have to wait until at least the 16th, and our observations should be from the 17th to the 22nd.
"
"Why will this string of comets collide with Jupiter on the 16th, but we won't start observing until the 17th?" Yuantai asked.
"Because we may not be able to see some comets," Honda smiled bitterly. "Although the Pearl Tree is much freer than those observatories on the ground, it is not comparable to telescopes such as Hubble in terms of maneuverability, so
When some debris hits Jupiter, we are likely to be in a position where we cannot observe it. Our trip in the next few days will focus on the South Pacific Ocean, because this is the place where the most debris collisions can be seen in this area - according to the observation results, Sumei
There are still 20 fragments of Klevi's 23 fragments from fragment a to fragment w that still exist (Author: Shoemaker). Klevi's letter naming is quite subtle. I will add it in the subsequent part. In short, it cannot be determined by common sense.
Given the naming scheme, there are a total of fragments d; k; n; r; w, and if we are lucky we can also see fragments c; e and g."
"South Pacific?" Qianyu was stunned. "We are going to the South Pacific?"
"Yes," Honda glanced at Qianyu. "We should wander around New Zealand for a few days, because it is the best area in the world to observe Shoemaker Levi. After observing fragment n, we will rush to
We will continue to observe the following two fragments r and w in the Hawaii area. Don’t worry, we have calculated that the Pearl Tree’s supply reserves and speed can support this plan and ensure that our observations go smoothly.”
"Then when will we set off?" Haibara Ai asked. "I don't know if you know this, but there seems to be a very dangerous biological weapon outside, and a terrorist organization that plundered the bacteria from the National Tokyo Microbiology Research Center [
Red Siamese Cat] is planning to attack Osaka."
"There are not many people who can come into contact with this airship anyway," Honda shrugged. "And this microorganism only becomes contagious some time after symptoms appear. Even if any of you get sick, just isolate it and it will not pose a threat.
Others. According to the itinerary, we will probably set off on July 13th, which is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."
"Will our daily life be on the airship these two days?" Conan asked. "Is there an emergency room, disinfection supplies, etc.?"
"I really don't know about this," Honda shook his head. "But there must be disinfectant supplies. We have a bottle of medical alcohol here."
"Is there anything I can play with, like an arcade machine or something?" Yuantai seemed to have thought of something and asked excitedly.
"Probably?" Honda waved his hand. "I did see the entertainment room, but I don't know what's in it. We came here just the day before yesterday, and we have been debugging the electronic synchronization system of the observation equipment - this
After all, the telescope is in the atmosphere, so electronic equipment is needed to analyze and then adjust the angle of the telescope to continuously and stably track the observation object."
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro's panicked voice suddenly came from not far away. "Ah!!!"
"!?" Everyone was startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound. After discovering that the sound came from behind the astronomical telescope, they quickly ran to the side of the astronomical telescope and looked in the direction of the sound again.
Mouri Kogoro stood on a tiled area like a chess board, looking at a glass cabinet on the side of the chessboard with surprised eyes - Qianyu's eyesight could clearly see that there was a model hand inside the cabinet, and the model hand
There is a gemstone ring on it.
As for the reason for Mouri Kogoro's panic? Of course it was because this cabinet was not an ordinary cabinet, but a cabinet with a mechanism. At this time, a spring-loaded glove was resting softly on the edge of the counter.
Just now, Kogoro Mouri felt extremely bored when listening to Honda and others talking about Shoemaker Levi, so he wandered here and discovered this cabinet. Just when he was about to get close to the cabinet and take a good look at the jewelry, he also
I don't know what mechanism was triggered, but a trap suddenly stretched out from the counter under the glass cabinet, and it only hit Mouri Kogoro's face. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was able to get out of the way.
"Mr. Mori," at this moment, the chief designer of the Suzuki Consortium who had been accompanying Qianha and the others put down his mobile phone and said politely to Kogoro Mori. "The Suzuki consultant has learned about your fright. I hope you will
You can go to the restaurant for dinner, where he will apologize to you and take the opportunity to explain the mechanism of this sky-lady jewelry storage cabinet.
(There are no i fragments and o fragments in Shoemek Levi's sequence from a to w. Instead, there are four fragments coded as p1p2q1q2 that seem to be due to fragmentation. Among these 23 fragments, the j fragment,
