The habitat design will evolve drastically over the next 6 months. Algae-based life support system: To help with the human longing for nature a biology based life support system is ideal. 3D-printed interior: Some of the interior will be 3D-printed so we can modify and repair with our printer.ħ. Expanding Architecture: Because the habitat will have to be transported with a Hercules plane (and potentially later by a rocket) there is very strict volume requirements.Ĥ.
Being heavily inspired by classic platformer, Flashback, Lunark is an action platformer that emphasizes cinematic gameplay and storytelling more than your average 2D side-scrolling platform title. We’ll utilize the high albedo and reflectiveness of the snow.ģ. Lunark, developed by Canari Games and published by WayForward, is a title that faces such a dilemma. Solar Panel Skin: The exterior of the habitat will be covered in solar cells to maximize the energy generation. There is constant sunlight, so we need to create an artificial circadian rhythm.Ģ. Dynamic Circadian Light System: Similar to the poles of the Moon. It makes sense that we need to feel the struggle to survive, just like in extreme reality North of the Arctic circle.ġ. Most analogue missions carried out by space industry don’t involve real danger, but we need to properly understand how living on the Moon can affect our body and mind. Similar to the Moon, Greenland is a hostile place on Earth. Tucker likened the denser and thinner sections of debris to the smaller and larger sections of wake left behind a boat as it travels through water.Įarth seldom sees Halley’s comet itself but, due to a similar orbit, we often intercept its trails of debris.These two architects from Lunark would be isolated and endure 30 degrees Celcius, hurricane winds, and of course, those hungry polar bears. “That means there will be a few more meteors and obviously more for people to see on the ground.” “Meteor showers and comets are notoriously hard to predict, like cats, but we do think that there’s a chance we are moving into a little bit of a denser area,” he said. Tucker said some scientists believe “we may be going through a denser part” of Halley’s comet debris, but he added that “it’s hard to say” exactly until the event itself happens.

It is also not just a single shade - it becomes darker on the edge closest to the umbra. The Earth’s dark, “thicker” inner shadow is known as the umbra, and when the moon falls under that section, a total or partial lunar eclipse is produced.Ī penumbra is lighter than the umbra, so it is more difficult to see as it moves across the moon’s surface.
It is called a “penumbral” eclipse because the moon is covered by the outer edges of the Earth’s shadow - its penumbra. “This is what most people want to see because those are the ones that are easier to spot, both with the moon, and in the city,” he said. “Most of the debris that the Earth will hit will be quite small, so this is one (meteor shower) that is unlikely to produce really big fireballs, but what usually happens is that the meteors are moving pretty fast.”īecause the meteors are moving fast, Tucker said that a brighter-than-usual display is likely. “This meteor shower is from Halley’s comet, so this is bits of rock and debris and ice that has come off the comet as it goes around the sun.

“One of the problems we experience when the full moon is out is it makes the sky much brighter, so you lose some of those fainter meteors,” Tucker said.
“The lunar eclipse isn’t going to be that spectacular,” Tucker admitted, adding that is because a penumbral eclipse is less obvious than a total lunar eclipse.īut the eclipse will mean the full moon is dimmed, which is excellent news for meteor watchers as it will work to make the burning debris easier to spot.
