ESA's Cluster Spacecraft Makes Shocking Discovery 137
A recent observation by the ESA's Cluster Spacecraft was able to finally prove a 20-year-old theory. "On 24 January 2001, the four Cluster spacecraft were flying at an approximate altitude of 105 000 kilometres, in tetrahedron formation. Each spacecraft was separated from the others by a distance of about 600 kilometres. With such a distance between them, as they approached the bow shock, scientists expected that every spacecraft would record a similar signature of the passage through this region. Instead, the readings they got were highly contradictory. They showed large fluctuations in the magnetic and electric field surrounding each spacecraft. They also revealed marked variations in the number of solar wind protons that were reflected by the shock and streaming back to Sun."

In short, these bowshocks will shrivel your sack if you stay in to observe them too long.

Which in a way is odd, as I never got that into D&D and I haven't used a 4-sided die in many years.
Still sad.

You're supposed to do your saving throws with a 20-sided die. You'll never save against anything with a tetrahedron.
