Roche Limit - digg this
Today I feel like I hit mine. Which made me finding this entry of Irregular Webcomic! a little funnier.
For those who don't know the Roche Limit
is the distance within which a celestial body held together only by its own gravity will disintegrate due to a second celestial body's tidal forces exceeding the first body's gravitational self-attraction. Inside the Roche limit, orbiting material will tend to disperse and form rings, while outside the limit, material will tend to coalesce. The term is named after Édouard Roche, the French astronomer who first calculated this theoretical limit in 1848.
And much like a celestial body that has been put under too much gravitational stress I feel like bursting into rings! But I won’t. Not today. Today I will remember 1 Peter 4:11.
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
And for those who don't know, Irregular Webcomic! is a long running well webcomic done by a guy using miniatures and Legos. And he even manages to work in all sorts of little physics lessons. But don't just take my word for it, CLICK THE LINK!
