Enter the ‘Belatedly Habitable’ Zone
[image: Story 469871883] The most common objection I hear about what we call the ‘habitable zone’ is that it specifies conditions only for life as we know it. It leaves out, for example, conceivable biospheres under the ice of gas giant moons, examples of which we possibly have here in the Solar System. But there is another issue with defining habitability in terms of atmospheric pressures that can support liquid water on the surface. As Jason Wright and Noah Tuchow (both at Penn State) point out in a recent paper, the classic habitable zone concept does not take the evolution of b... read more

This is an excellent study of the actual effectiveness of archers during their heyday. Not nearly so wonderful as we have been taught. It is also a reminder of just how much of the past is repeated legend fully deserving of careful study to get a glimpse of the truth. We need to become way more appreciative of the auxilleries whose task was often to goad the nemy to attack to their front against prepared positions. Romans were masters there.
