Hi, I homeschool my boys and we have a few more questions which we hope someone can answer.
1. We have telescopes in space that take pictures of distant galaxies. (The Hubble - is that still working?) Can we see individual planets and stars in these pictures of far away galaxies and can we tell how those galaxies work by looking at these pictures?
2. According to the scientists, there are now only 8 major planets in our galaxy, yet there are several dwarf planets of which Pluto is now one. a.) Should these dwarf planets be included in out planetary studies? (I believe yes) b.) Do all the planets ever line up completely, as in a straight line? (if yes, then I'm sure it's very rare, right, how rare?)
3. Does anyone know when the next solar eclipse is going to be and from where will you be able to see it?
Thank you all in advance for taking the time to answer these for us!
