(...) Who needs knowledge when you have google? Solid hydrogen has a density of .088 g/cm^3. Which is, incidentally, about 10,000 times heavier than its gaseous form. (URL) Adrian (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

This article: (URL) gives it as ~17.6km, and states: "2004: The reference book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Trilogy by James Luceno corrects the record of the Executor's length: nearly a dozen times the length of a star destroyer.

What would be the mass of a cubic centimeter of solid hydrogen? I ask because it occurred to me last week that the dry ice I was fiddling with weighed substantially more in solid form than as a gas (now there’s a groundbreaking scientific (...)

OK, this is WAY geeky, but I just thought I'd share... This was triggered by a cloud visible at sunset a couple of evenings ago. It was long and triangular, and took up about 5 "hand-widths" at arms length. I started thinking, how close (or far (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
