at the end of season one, they dialed apothisis ship, which was in orbit around a planet, so the wormhole reached the gate abord his ship. when he left orbit, the gate became inactive as such, because it was not near the co-ordinates of the address. Then, in the episode where they destroy a sun, carter dials the black hole planet, puts a shield round the gate, and launches it at the sun. but, when it leaves the vicinity of the planet, shouldent the wormhole cut off?

When Jack flies the 302 into hyperspace to get the gate away from earth(forget the episode name, it was the one with Anubis's 'gate weapon), the gate was still engaged, and stayed engaged.JACKSON: ...I mean isn't that why we're doing this, all of this? The Stargate program, the budget? Isn't it so we can go and meet new races, gather advanced technology and possibly learn about ourselves in the process?
VALA: Oh, come on! you do it to meet women.
MITCHELL: She has a point, sir.
LANDRY: I've been thinking I need to get out on an offworld mission or two.

The Stargate address must work around a wider area, otherwise it would only work within a tiny period of a planet's orbit and be unavailable the rest of the time.Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

The simplest explanation is that the gates that still worked after leaving the planet were already connected. SG-1 came through the gate on Apophis's ship and it cut off. Then they started travelling and the SGC couldn't dial the gate again. In Exodus and Redemption, the gates were active and then moved. I don't recall any time when the gate was moved while active and then cut off because it moved to far. So this is the most likely case.Cogito ergo dubito.

SG-1 travelled to Klorel's ship, in orbit around a distant planet. They were able to connect to Klorel's Gate, and to dial Earth again to send the MALP back, because the orbiting ship was in the system described by the point of origin. The ship could have flown to the far side of the sun and the SGC could still have dialled in; we know this to be true because otherwise the Gate address would not work when the orbit of the planet carried it to that same point.
Moments after the ship entered hyperspace, however, it was a billion miles outside that solar system and travelling at some three thousand times the speed of light; SG-1 could not dial out, because the point of origin was no longer valid, and the SGC could not dial in because there was no Stargate at the destination.
The Gate in Exodus never went outside the orbit of the planet. The Gate in Redemption barely left the atmosphere before it hit detonation time; it could have cut off for all they knew and still exploded. However, it seems more likely that the orbit of Jupiter is simply described by the same Gate address as that of Earth.Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

What never made sense to me is what, exactly, a PoO is. I mean, we've seen gates moved from planet to planet, and the gate system is highly adaptive. It would make sense that irregardless of where you are, if you have a DHD, you should be able to dial out (if not in unless your DHD forces a cooralative update telling all the other gates where it is.)
The were in hyperspace when they tried to dial out. The gate uses a spacial coordinate system, it probably ceases to function once in Hyperspace....besides....wormholes tunnel THROUGH hyperspace....how could you open one in hyperspace to begin with?sigpic

It is theorized that once a wormhole is locked onto a stargate it will not released even if the gate is moved from its' designated co ordinates, it will "drag" the wormhole along with it. Think of it like two magnets, one is attached to a stick, it has a significantly larger magnetic field, the other is much smaller, it is thrown across the room to the stick, it is attracted by the larger magnet. If I move the stick after the second magnet is attached, the second magent will move allong with the first, if I move the stick before the magnet is thrown, the magnet will not be attracted and the Stargate will not activate... I mean the magnets will not connect.
