ELI5: How can orbits be highly elliptical?

yes, this is stupid but i still dont understand!

(warning stupid comparison beware) for an orbit to be elliptical in rocket science you need to thrust prograde or retrograde in apoapsis or periapsis so that your orbit stretches, i dont think planets can suddenly speed up in one side of their orbits?? well maybe jupiter could affect but a year is like 12 earth years there so it would only happen in some specific times

Is it worth going to a dark sky area when you have a smart telescope?

Ok so i dont have one YET (yes i gave up on the bresser 5” it is NOT coming in stock) i once went to a dark sky site and it was honestly not bad the milkyway was sick it was bortle 4 there were lots of people (although most were just people who saw “go to a dark sky site like (this site)“ on insta to watch the perseid, i saw comets!!)

i live in bortle 7, i think i can still get non polluted photos with stacking etc?

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I cant stack!! it all looks the same blurry mess!!

first image is 50% the second one is 30% frames

telescope: astromaster 70az, 20mm
camera:iphone 13 4k@30 and with some digital zoom

gonna send the og vid if i can in the comments

used autostakkert 4(drizzle1.5x) and wavesharp3 (also added denoise)

i have 10% and 80% frames too but meh i think 50 and 30 are the best

i am still a beginner, just a teen using what he has to astrophotograph lmao

OH my god i saw jupiter’s cloud bands for the first time!

today my dad woke me up really early and i saw that it was 5:50 ish so i immediately set my telescope up but i realiseed the sky was already a bit orange at the horizon so i had to race agains the sun lmao.

I’ve owned my telescope since 2025 or sum and yes this is my first time seeing the cloud bands because i didnt know the 10mm eyepiece makes it dimmer that wouldve helped so much! but uh sadly the giant spot turned it’s back on me so i couldnt see it (and probably never will this year because i can only see it in a 2 hour window) but still those cloud bands are so siick dude!!

but i was also lucky because all the moons were there!! they were all on a line that was so cool i always love seeing other moons!!

I also saw mars (i think? stellarium says its between 2 stars but i couldnt find the other star, but it was next to a star.) it was just a orange dot meh

(I’m thinking of upgrading to a 130mm, and ive seen people see mars like orange and maroon 2 colored, would i be able to see those dark maroon parts? also when it is winter on mars i would love to see the poles with the 130mm if i could)

I’m pretty confused. Help! (no spoilers just hints)

So i went to the lava area i found from the map and i was exploring the zeolite biome too and i came across a mushroom river, i saw a door there just like in teh supper alloy cave. there was also ice next to it that melts at 200mti, im at 250mti but it’s still not melting!! HELP!! and i explored a bit more and found the key to the door but i still dont understand i saw text from wardens and they were like we left our own planet blabla and these guys look biologically same to us or something

i found a “wreck” in there i tried to jetpack there but i fell and i was back in my base?? (the base i made next to the door, if i didnt put that there i wouldve probably teleported to my main base which would hurt alot) what am i supposed to do? do i need to return back there later?

I ACCIDENTALLY FOUND AN INFINITE IRIDIUM/URANIUM GLITCH!!

so you first jump on your rocket, it will start tipping over (i did this cuz i wanted to see what the game would do if i tried to leave, maybe an achievement), and it will go crazy. then meteors will come. you are still able to deconstruct the rocket while it is in a position like the second and third image. since you deconstructed it you can still rebuild it and try again!! lol!

Subnautica style Keep inventory.

I think the game without keep inventory is hard, sure if you want a challenge go for it, i personally hate when i lose everything when i die in lava or in the void, and keep inventory just feels too easy. so i have an idea, A subnautica style keep inventory. If you dont know, or have played the game and are confused, (its probably in other games but so far subnautica is the only game ive played that does this, sorry if you know another game like this inventory)

In subnautica, your inventory gets “saved” when you go in your base, and when you die, you respawn in your base with all the items you had when you were last there, and 1 random item you got on your expedition.

while minecraft has no way of knowing how large your base is, there could be a 30 block radius in each direction around your bed(straw beds dont count) that counts as your ”base” and the game checks for your bed‘s location,
for example if theres a wall (3 blocks stacked on top) on the left of your bed, the game actually makes it 60 block radius(not down nor up) instead so those parts arent gone to waste if your bed is next to a wall. i think it could be a sweet spot and doesnt count as a cheat.

What are your opinions on it?

Rewatching the show starting from the moon revolution, why didnt neptune tell them about her?

i feel like neptune would answer luna like “oh theia? she was the planet that crashed into earth causing you to come to life!”like the way he acts so smart sometimes but he couldve been traumatized, dang

ELI5: Why dont eclipses happen every month, shouldnt it be either once a month or just none at all?

I get that the orbit of the moon is inclined but that must mean the eclipses either never happen or happen once a month? how can it happen randomly?

edit: i meant random as in not in a schedule like it doesnt happen once every X time
