Astronomy & Space - July 2006

It almost drives me insane that so many people can be so incredibly ignorant about astronomy. Not only does every question in the category get 90% completely wrong answers, people ask the supidest questions!! Half of them don't seem to know the difference between a galaxy and our solar system...or they think things they see on Star Trek are real. It's not nearly so bad in the other cateories, but astronomy seems to bring out the kooks and idiots in droves!! Aaaaarrgh!!!

And, yes, I'm perfectly aware that I'm likely to get a bunch of stupid, moronic, and insulting answers. But that's okay, I've blasted enough of you morons out there already that I can put up with whatever you throw back. I just wish more people were capable of actually thinking before asking or answering questions.

Do you think that as our universe evolves that perhaps a planet could be made by super dense elements, even denser than Plutonium and Uranium? Could a sun gain enough energy to begin fusing iron as it's main fuel source, or will the universe grow dark once all the lighter elements have been fused above the level of iron?

I'm off to Alpha Centauri soon (http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ao5Q7zESdw_RBMk2RXQVq6sgBgx.?qid=20060724154615AAYSZni ) and I need to know what to pack. Here's the problem:

Our planet orbits our single sun in a modest little ellipse. The resulting variations in the solar radiation we get are not huge, so our climate is able to be reasonably consistent over the seasons. Yet still we have heat waves, hurricanes, big freezes, etc. And it doesn't take much (just one measily little asteroid impact) to wreck the weather so much that most things die.

What about planets in binary star systems? Surely the variations in radiation at different points in a planet's orbit would be enormous, giving the planet such bonkers weather that life would be impossible? or at least, very very awkward?
