+Eileen Blurrr you have it backwards, The ore is usually black on an industrial scale (although small stones may have green or yellow crystals) and yellowcake (enriched uranium, 95% weapons grade or better.) is, as the name implies, yellow.

@jackdaniels4975

Marshall Perry I mean yellow cake isn't actually weapons grade uranium, yellow cake had to be refined again into a black rod of uranium, which was uranium 235, to be used for weapons. So black>yellow>black Yellowcake was used as coloring for the general populace actually, but this all happened 50 years ago, uranium isn't even used anymore for weapons like bombs.

Radium emits alpha particles which can excite fluorescent materials. In Marie Curie's time, that would have been aluminium and/or copper doped zinc sulfide. In fact I have one of those watch hands and the radiation has diminished substantially, so now you can see single alpha particles tearing their way through the paint and causing tiny green sparks. As for naturally occurring ores, autunite and uranocircite are fluorescent uranium ores. They do not glow by themselves, but when exposed to UV light, they emit the notorious poison-green light.

Yup, there it is! Thank you very much, Scott, I was looking near the front entrance of the VAB =) Since I never found the memorial before, I didn't really know where to look, except "near the VAB". Well, thanks again!

The "warning" was actually from an old SNL sketch called "Happy Fun Ball." You can probably find/view the sketch on youtube.

Love it; 8:45 "well, clearly we have to be careful with this thing" short pause; "lets see how close we can get huh!" - spoken like a true Kerbal explorer.

Uranium ore is called pitchblende, but it doesn't glow on its own. The glow could be fluorescence, but then it wouldn't glow on the dark side. I believe the boulder is composed chiefly of magic.

The warning is not magic boulder it is happy fun ball from SNL.

I docked an ssto on a magic boulder before, it glowed yellow, since I had full coverage of internet throughout the solar system, I could dock the modified ssto on the asteroid as it was flying out back into interplanetary space, it’s trajectory was cycling between Kerbin and Duna, so I rode the asteroid out to Duna orbit and Duna got close so I unhitched the ssto but kept the probe attached and I saved a shit ton of Detla V, I only had to spend 200 m/s by then because most of the ride was by asteroid, soon after I caught another asteroid as it is heading directly into kerbin, I met the asteroid at 1500km above the surface, opened the claw at 1100km (I was heading straight towards kerbin like the astrroid, very very fast), docked with it at 200km while freaking out, this asteroid was glowing purple, I pointed radial in as I was entering the atmosphere using the boulder as a heat shield and then when I got slow enough, I deployed all eight of my parachutes and landed it.

It is funny hearing the magic ball commercial from you.

Anyone else get a real Welcome to Night Vale vibe from Scott reading the "safety manual?"

scott you know a lot of things but you don't know what interplanetary means

(continuation) has changed, meaning that as interpreted in 3D space, the light has bent around the gravity of an object. In more severe cases, such as a black hole, light is bent so much that it is pulled towards the centre of mass, losing all velocity due to gravity. Also it is extremely accurate to say that the train has turned. Its velocity (direction) has changed. The fact that the tracks exist has no bearing on this, just as a car turns due to the "tracks" of your steering.

I know I commented this exact phrase over a year ago, but I have to do it again: "DO NOT TAUNT MAGIC BOULDER"

"so we clearly have to be careful with this thing.....lets see how close we can get" i lol'd so hard XD

scott should make some thing that's like a big circle and fly it to the boulder then use landing legs to grab onto it so it pulls the ship around.

The instructions that Scott pretends to read on the monolith are from a 70s SNL parody commercial skit called "Happy Fun Ball"

Now you scared me of the solar system. Good job. I will never leave the Kerbin orbit.

I was trying to get to the Mun, and I was orbiting trying to find a nice landing crater, and I saw what looked like one of my landers from space, but it was my first time going to the Mun. I had already visited the Neil Armstrong Memorial, and it wasn't that. It was white, so it wasn't a monolith. It didn't look like an arch, so now I have to find out what it is, but i landed on the opposite side. It was on a large (And I mean large) crater on the light side of the Mun.

Green glowing piece of rock - I present you, Kerbal Space Program : Tiberium Wars!

All praise the magic boulder!

0.20 fixed the bug with relative velocities not being counted when things collided in space. This caused rover wheels to pop when touching another ship with them in orbit. I think that was the reason why magic boulder couldn't be touched without explosion. Now that is has been fixed, you should try it again and you might even be able to deorbit it. That'd be cool.

The uranium stuff, Pitchblende, is fairly dull and usually purple. Green minerals are stuff like Malachite, Garnierite and other things, but they don't glow.

Scott says: seems like we have to be carefull with it. Lets to go closer to take a look at the green lines

Iridium is almost exclusively found in asteroids and meteorites, this rock appears to have copious amounts of it if not being completely made out of the element and a related matrix. Iridium is normally radioactive, and does glow unlike a similar element Uranium (which is normally a flat light pink color unless enriched.) Uranium also does not give off nearly any radiation unless it's enriched for power or weaponized capabilities

try smashing a large astroid into it... it might allow you to push it with out getting to close to the boulder where your ship would explode

glows green ... comes from another part of the universe ... has almost supernatural properties ... Must be Kryptonite

Gravity can bend light, but it takes an extreme amount to be really noticeable. Light bending around black hole is a pretty common phenomenon.

Good day fellow night vale fan!

Magic boulder seems to be made party of some form of unstable phosphorescent material. If radioactive, then it seems highly likely that this radiation is fueling the phosphorescence. Possibly the magic boulder contained fissile materials very close to critical mass. hence explaining its tendency to explode.

The happy fun ball also approves.

the glow is quite similar to that of the noble gas, radon. since the temperature must be very close to or exactly absolute zero, it could be radon in superfluid or supersolid form.

The warnings actually come from a Saturday Night Live skit called "Happy Fun Ball."

And he goes boom

Happy Shelbas Kerman

super happy fun ball

Super happy fun ball!

It depends, Cherenkov radiation coming out of a fission reactor's water tank is blue, and uranium oxide can glow green when exposed to ultraviolet light (look up uranium glass).

The magic boulder warnings came from the Happy fun ball warnings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Fun_Ball#Concept snltranscripts.jt.org/90/90mhappyfunball.phtml

When things glow blue, that is usually because they are emitting particles that are traveling faster than the light around them. This is possible outside of vacuums, and is called chenkonov (correct that spelling) radiation.

He was talking about Hawking radiation, where high velocity particles (i.e alpha and beta decay) collide with water and air, giving a blue glow.
