Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky!

When the blazing sun is gone, When the nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark, Thanks you for your little spark, He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so.

When the blazing sun is gone, When the nothing shines upon, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Hello u/CevicheCabbage, your submission "Is it possible that an earth-like planet is floating independently in our universe somewhere with no sun and whose atmosphere harbors conditions to produce it's own sun-like light and energy?" has been removed from r/space because:

• Such questions should be asked in the "All space questions" thread stickied at the top of the sub.

Please read the rules in the sidebar and check r/space for duplicate submissions before posting. If you have any questions about this removal please message the r/space moderators. Thank you.

Hey Cabbage, maybe a rogue planet with a radioactive core could be warm enough to have life in space. I don't know how an atmosphere could warm it up enough. Light could come from the radioactivity in some craters or something and then bioluminescence in caves later.

But the atmosphere would hold in the heat from the core

I really hope that because it's a test launch that they time it perfectly for this effect. Seeing Super Heavys plume interacting with Starships on boost back will be an amazing sight.

where would the energy come from to heat up that huge atmosphere?

by adding the condition that the atmosphere should be able to produce the energy: no. the only way you can do this is via geothermal energy and it would probably not be a lot.

Extremely unlikely. But given the Law of Large Numbers, I suppose it is technically not impossible. The physics just don't really work.

Jupiter emits twice as much heat as it absorbs from the Sun, which indicates it has its own internal heat source. But "Earth-like" is the hurdle in your proposed situation.

There are proposals for how a free-floating planet could harbor life, but the environment would not be at all like what we see on Earth's surface.

Where would that energy and light come from, exactly?

possible but maybe not probable

universe is infinite but maybe not that infinite - that planet might have originated from a star system and then the sun died quickly or ? those would be my questions

Yes. The top row on the left frame is the previous frame in time, while the top right frame is the next frame in time. The bottom row on the left is the next frame in time, and on the right is the previous frame in time.

These will look different depending on how you view the illusion: cross-eye or parallel-eye. Top row is better for cross-eye due to how our eyes work, and the bottom row is better for parallel-eye for the same reason.

Some people don't cross their eyes but instead split or diverge them. This means the cross-eye image would be depth-inverted, where the depth of the Earth appears concave while the moon appears to be behind the depth distance of the Earth.

Basically, if you look at the top row while diverging eyes or the bottom row while converging eyes you will always see an inverse depth map.

You can rotate the image to merge top and bottom, however this experience isn't ideal. For simplicity you can just merge the top or bottom two without worrying about the vertical axis

Thank you so much for saying that! And oh man, that's so neat. I never had the resources to go to college but if I had I would have worked on something stereoscopic too. I love to nerd out about stereoscopy.

You might like this, I used to do this regularly when I figured out the motion parallax process: You can watch the livestream of the ISS and as long as the camera is facing the planet so that the earth is moving left to right, you can place two of these streams next to each other, like a stereograph, and pause one for 5-10 seconds to see depth of the atmosphere. This functions like pausing the orbit of one eye while the other keeps moving, so you can in essence get live parallax of the atmosphere from orbit! If the ISS is over mountains, you can actually see depth to them. It's wild.

I make these as a hobby so if you'd like to see more I often post across the internet with this username. Have you made any stereo imagery yourself?

All of those bits of life acting on their own require liquid water, a gaseous atmosphere, and a certain temperature range to exist.

So, if we find liquid water and a certain temperature range on another planet, it's more likely we'll find life there than on, say, the scorching hot/near absolute zero, radiation blasted vacuum of Mercury.

Another way to think about “unfocusing your eyes” is refocus your vision on an imaginary object that is slightly beyond the image (in this case behind your phone). This is why people say to move the image slowly away from you while relaxing your eyes but it’s unnecessary- all you are actually doing is widening your pupillary distance to achieve the optical illusion, which is what naturally happens when you focus on things at longer distances.

Look at your phone, then look at something past it and you’ll see your phone doubles in your vision. Just do that to the picture until you see a third vertical set of photos. The effect is not very 3D in this case as it would be with a magic eye but it’s slightly more dynamic than just looking at the screen.
