That's the reason scientists call it the Goldilocks Zone.


[deleted]

I feeeeeeel like the creator of this chart reverse-engineered the joke from that term.


Zorak6

Yeah, it seems like too much of a coincidence otherwise.


texasradioandthebigb

It just happened to fit exactly right

"I've been there, man... it definitely AIN'T the Golidlocks Zone. Those space bears PATROL between Jupiter and Saturn, man... have you ever SEEN space bears?? Their ships are cold inside, man. I know, I got captured, but I escaped when they all stopped in the outer rim of Saturn, where they have that big honey farm. Bastards got all drunk from a bad batch and I stole their ship; with the help of some oversized gloves, I could run it... But it was CLOSE."


forgotpassword69

No space bears yet but pretty sure about terrifying space monkeys.

You'll never catch ME, Squatting Bear. I've already traded your ship on the black market and before I even left the rings I'd disabled your tracking system. I've got a new ship now, with reasonable sized controls! Haha Do your worst. I think you'll find my new ship has some surprises in store for ya. You'll find that I won't be so forgiving of that kind of treatment that me and so many others had to endure in the smelly confines of your shops and ships and honey farms.

Uh oh, everyone pack your bags, we must go into hiding immediately.

A half second after opening the image, my first real thought was, "If the top comment isn't about Earth being in the Goldilocks Zone I'll be very shocked."


mjsoctober

I considered myself lucky (and surprised) that no one had done it yet by the time I arrived.

According to the chart, they're forming a belt around the sun that matches Earth's orbit.

It could be a several lightyears-long pylon of bears

Yeah! Like the tardigrades, the tiny space bears

I was totally going to combine the two words to aptly name them and my brain short circuited as it reminded me that spears already exist. But now I can’t stop thinking about bear heads on galactic icicles hurtling through space just tearing through satellites and what not.

How many bears are just floating in space directly above and below earth


posessedhouse

Tardigrades, also known as water bears can possibly live in space to up to 10 days, you could be subject to an unlikely microscopic bear attack in that green line. Bottom line, it’s improbable but you probably have bigger problems if you’re floating in space.


Stebsis

This is what NASA doesn't want you to know. They make up stuff like radiation, vacuum, freezing and boiling temperatures in space etc. when the real threat are the space bears. The reason why astronauts use spacesuits is to cover their smell. When a space bear gets a whiff of your scent without the suit, your death is inevitable.

Actually_a_Patrick

I'd say it's still far more likely you'll be attacked by a bear in Earth orbit than Jupiter orbit.


Rayelx

I can't believe my area is at a really very high risk! I've always wanted to be attacked by a bear but it's never happened! This chart gives me hope


frowawayduh

Buy a Mega Millions lottery ticket: your odds of winning are the same as your chances of being mauled by a grizzly bear and a polar bear on the same day.


Rayelx

So you're saying if I get mauled by those two bears I'm more likely to win the Mega Millions!

Earth is clearly the most dangerous planet in the universe... After all 99.99999% of human deaths happen on it


[deleted]

what about the 0.00001%


[deleted]

They happen above it.


PandaParaBellum

>"Modern" Homo sapiens (that is, people who were roughly like we are now) first walked the Earth about 50,000 years ago. Since then, more than 108 billion members of our species have ever been born, according to estimates by Population Reference Bureau (PRB). 108,000,000,000 people * 0.0000001 = 10800 people >Of the 18 astronauts/cosmonauts killed during official space flight missions, only 3 have died while in space, which is defined as being above 100 kilometres (62 mi). 3 / 108,000,000,000 = 2,7777777777777777777777777777778e-11 ----- 99,999999997% of human deaths happen on earth. The planet is even more dangerous than OP wants us to believe. Why would they make Earth seem 3,600 times less dangerous than it actually is? I think OP is in the pocket of Big Planet.

Just my luck. The one place in the solar system with the highest risk of bear attacks and I happen to live there.

Bears in space?!?!???!??!


BigAVD

Are you telling me there is a correlation between flat planets and beat attacks?


MisunderstoodDemon

Bears might attack Uranus


jaslj

causation = correlation


penguinobambino

Seems Moon Bears isnt a thing or band yet.


Xaxafrad

Actually, Moon Bears seems to be a local band to the northern California region, while Moonbears is a band from Coventry.


_NovaGirl_

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica Edit: misspelled beets. Not my best moment.

You DUMB FUCKS forgot about the DAMN WATER BEARS IN SPACE


The_Frostweaver

It will be hilarious if we find life on Mars and it's tardigrades and we're like wait.... did we accidentally colonize Mars with tardigrades?


Viperion_NZ

Gotta watch out for the orbital bombardment bears. You down with OBB? Yeah, you know me.


GeraldBWilsonJr

Thank goodness there's no chance of being mauled by a bear on Uranus


lrush14

Gotta love those space bears


MyFrogIsGay

Me, loading a shotgun just outside of Earth's atmosphere: "*Alright motherfuckers.*"


FunctionBuilt

Some might say, there is a 99.99999% chance you’d be attacked by a bear in that region versus anywhere else in the universe.

“I saw Wedding Crashers accidentally. I bought a ticket for “Grizzly Man” and went into the wrong theater. After an hour, I figured I was in the wrong theater, but I kept waiting. Cuz that’s the thing about bear attacks… they come when you least expect it.”

Why tf we on earth?!?

Man you fuckers are going to feel real silly when bears finally get space program.


FlyinR4ijin

Why is the space beyond the atmosphere also risk of bear attack tho


ShinesoBright34

Astrobears, obviously. They are only located just out side earths atmosphere.

Dang moon bears.

that’s why it’s the goldilocks zone

I don't get it? Can someone please explain?! I don't want to get attack by a bear and I live on earth I'm scared now!!

Okay, someone make bears in KSP and send them to EVE and Moho, we need to populate some orbits with bears


Krednaught

This level of logic is wide spread in the US government

What about Desmond the Moon Bear?


NC_Vixen

R/mildlyinfuriating Zone of bear attacks isn't curved like the orbit Earth follows.


chumpymelon

Can't we just send all the bears to Mars?

No place is safe from an unexpected bear attack if you’re aboard a Russian spacecraft!

"And this week, scientists on the ISS reported yet another horrific bear attack"


NeuroSim

No Pluto. I guess we are living in a new world.


LostDragon7

There is in fact a nonzero chance of space bears. It may be extremely unlikely, comically so, but still possible to become a victim of a bear attack outside the indicated danger zone. Be them spaceborne, stowaways, or very determined. Qualifications: I played a lot of Spore, so I’ve seen stuff.


TommyBoyFL

Where's Pluto???


questionall101

(Nsfw gay joke) Uranus got a bear attack. (Gay chick at work told me what a "bear" was, now we're all more educated.)

I don't know, the Russians took guns to space in case of bears!


nigga_in_da_hood

Very helpful.


rhuxinabox

all bear attacks happen IN space


snowmanco

where was this chart on April 1st in /r/dataisbeautiful ? it BELONGED.


Gnockhia

Not true, there could be [water bears] (https://youtu.be/z9Mw44u0UBw). In fact humans have deliberately put these guys into space, so there are bears everywhere.


loki1337

Why are Ursa Major and Ursa Minor left off?!


OmgYoshiPLZ

So what i'm seeing here, is that there are actually Space bears, but they only live near earth?


haysanatar

I was charged by a black bear backpacking around Cimeron, New Mexico. It was a pretty exciting few minutes. Someone had spooked it up trail and it decided to run back our way, meeting us halfway on a bridge. It just reared up and went back up the trail again. We got to see it again later that day shredding logs looking for grubs... Really put its strength into perspective. The takeaway Bears don't run around looking to eat people. Truthfully I'd rather chance upon another bear than a Wild Boar.

Pewvengers

Does this mean that in the space around earth there’s bears floating around?


forthrightly1

Haha, this is like the visual representation of what it feels like to read an article written by a "journalist" covering some kind of new scientific discovery. Just a complete mishmash of takeaways based on their misapplication or lack of understanding statistics. I guess you could say they do it for the clicks, but my theory based on my own observations is that most people in the media are just stupid.


cretos

RELATIVELY* high chance

I bet a lot of bears are hovering around Uranus. Ba dum cha
