Humans could learn a thing or two.  Birds make the journey every year without any tools and with pinpoint accuracy.

Not to interstellar space.

If you want to know how to propel a starship, all you have to do is go to axriv.org and use the following code to get them to accept my work. All these places are behind firewalls to keep out people who lack 'credentials'

---- requests your endorsement to submit an article to the
astro-ph.HE section of arXiv. To tell us that you would (or would not)
like to endorse this person, please visit the following URL:

If that URL does not work for you, please visit

and enter the following six-digit alphanumeric string:

Endorsement Code: 73ZA4R

The name of my paper is 'A Plausible Mechanism for the Velocity of Hyperfast Pulsars
With Application for Interstellar Propulsion'

The abstract reads as follows: [...]

So, you've given me an endorsement code I cannot use. It's for the author or close colleague, not for the general reader, and I have no reason to endorse your paper. In any case, it's the same paper I cited: https://www.tsijournals.com/articles/a-p...ulsion.pdf and it seems to be a bunch of gobbledygook, so why would it be in my interest to endorse it?

Again, it does not discuss Polynesian or Hawaiian wayfinding, so I don't understand your OP.

Meant to add outer in front of space but thought no one would care.
But I'm laughing about it.

[TomK]

This is a little pedantic, but interstellar space generally means space beyond the sun's influence where it makes conditions slightly different from elsewhere due to the solar wind. In a way, both Obie and 8F are right.

[kander]

Well, that was interesting.

[SBH]

This is a little pedantic, but interstellar space generally means space beyond the sun's influence where it makes conditions slightly different from elsewhere due to the solar wind. In a way, both Obie and 8F are right.

There are billions of other suns out in space also creating solar wind so does that mean interstellar space only exists between the areas of influence from all those other billions of stars making interstellar space shaped like Swiss cheese?

On the subject of space, we’ve been loving the images coming in from the James Webb Space Telescope and have especially been enjoying YouTube videos by Fraser Cain of Universe Today.

Are there any similar video channels from Mauna Kea Astronomy?

[TomK]

Apologies for missing your post, SBH. The answer to your first question is that each star produces some kind of solar wind and the strength and distance depend upon what kind of star it is. The influence of our own sun's solar wind fizzles out at some point and the general interstellar radiation field takes over. If a probe was launched toward another nearby star, then eventually, after a very long time, it would experience the wind from that star but that isn't close to happening at this point. Voyager 1, for instance, is now beyond the heliopause (influence of the Sun) and is now detecting radiation and particles from all over the place that dominates the Sun's influence, i.e., the general interstellar medium.

As for videos from the MKOs, there is a lot out there, I've posted links to them on occasion. As for dedicated video channels, which is what I think you're asking about, I don't think there are any, but there are several PR channels in various fora. If you can be a little more specific as to what you are after I'll be more than happy to bring it up in the local astronomy community and/or give you links to what's already available. Thanks for bringing this up because the MKOs are always looking for ways to improve communication with everyone.

Sounds to me like a great way to increase communication with everyone would be for Mauna Kea to have a YouTube channel. If SBH is looking for it, then others are too. I'm surprised they don't have a dedicated channel.

Increasing communication and awareness means increasing support.
