Re: Lagrangian Points


Hi - 
   First, my apologies once again to the list for not 
participating in the bio-hazard discussion after 
having raised the issue.  My mother passed away on 
22 July and I have been pretty busy since then.
   I don't remember if this message was posted to 
the list, but I agree that a search of Lagrangian
Points needs to be made.
                              Best wishes - 
                                  Ed     


 
Hi - 
     Several years ago I attended a lecture by the 
former science attache at the Russian embassy, 
Lev Mukhin.  His specialty is planetary outgassing, 
and if I remember correctly he predicted that the 
Earth would loose its atmoshpere to space some 
billions of years down the road.  (I guess you 
can put this one of the stack on planetary hazards,  someplace way
down the line from the impact hazard and gamma ray bursts!)
     Anyhow, I was wondering if it might be possible
 that this planetary outgassing is the source for 
 Frank's "small comets".  The water outgasses (under the influence of
the solar wind), then condenses out, say at the L-5 point (maybe
around some existing debris), and the resulting accretion then falls
 back to Earth.  Since the Earth is rotating, and the atmosphere is
dense, the accretion detonates on entry.
     Any thoughts?
                               Best wishes - 
                                  Ed
