[17:37:26] however, every eclipseday, the eclipse will occur about 12 minutes later [17:40:08] so once every 30 or so munths, there will have to skip eclipseday, becasue the eclipse occurs after sunset, and the next munth there will be the eclipse right after sunrise. [17:43:52] however even this cycle of 31 munths is not exact [17:44:12] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewDWPnL46P4 [17:44:13] YouTube - The Night Flight Orchestra Live Full Concert 20017 [17:46:52] Hmm, I can probably make a more exact calendar [17:58:55] I misread this as seals in orbit and was confused for a moment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmyTGKemOs0 [17:58:55] YouTube - KSP Mods - Seats in Orbit [18:13:02] the munth is exactly equal to 6 days and 104378392680/1774791348250773504 seconds [18:17:09] er, wiat that can't be right [19:01:18] So... has anyone ever calculated how fast the ships in The Expanse are going, when they travel from planet to planet? [19:01:41] I guess they're accelerating at 1 g until midpoint and deccelerate again with 1g [19:01:47] but how fast do the get this way? [19:26:09] Ok, my calendrical calculations indicate that you have a cycle of 15 weeks [19:26:18] or munths [19:27:12] with 8 seven-day munths and 7 six-day munths [19:29:33] The first munth of this cycle is the only one on which the eclipse happens during nighttime two munths in a row [19:35:30] however, after enough of these cycles, a munth with a day eclipse will occur twice in a row [19:36:04] since the kerbals have no seasons, this could be considered a calendrical year [19:42:33] shardlight was good too. maybe it looked the best out of all these [19:42:45] but i still like technobabylon best [19:51:49] ND6D6D6D6D6D6D6ND6D6D6D6D6D6D6ND6D6D6D6D6D6D6ND6D6D6D6D6D6D6ND6D6D6D6D6D6D6ND6D6D6D6D6D6D6 [19:52:52] ^ my calculations indicate the cycle is like this, where 6 is a six day munth, D is a 7 day munth with a daytime eclipse at the end, and N is a seven day munth with a nighttime eclipse at the end [19:54:05] however every thousand or so days, it switches into a cycle like this [19:54:07] D6D6D6D6DD6D6D6D6D6D6D6DD6D6D6D6D6D6D6DD6D6D6D6D6D6D6DD6D6D6D6D6D6D6DD6 [19:55:00] where the double seven-day munth occurs with a daytime eclipse instead of a nightttime one [20:01:15] hehe, munth [20:03:49] some screws started falling off my camera [20:03:58] that crap is expensive I don't want screws to fall off [20:04:02] and I love this camera [20:05:12] gnomes is getting to it, sheild it! [20:06:00] The latest time that an eclipse can occur at the end of a seven day munth happens when the previous one occurred just prior to sunrise. [20:06:26] use gnomicide :) [20:10:13] was thinking randomly [20:10:42] if earth (real one) was stand-in for sun, what size would model of earth to repersent earth size compared to sun?
