Go to the darkest place you can find away from trees, & lights. You can start watching around 9 pm you should see 15 to 20 meteors at peak time. When they skim the earth thats when you should make your wish.

Is the Universe Finite or Infinite in size and on other parameters.
Is there a possibility of many Universes.
Is there a possibility that our Universe is just a small part of something else you know Its value may be that of an atom for some humongous creatures (I know its sci-fi movie related concept,MIB 1 ending theme).
Have the scientists found something beyond our Universe.

Since Earth is on the edge of the milk way....?

do you ever worry that we will be "thrown out of it" or out of orbit? I wonder if we could end up flying off into space someday seeing as we are so close to the end of it.

For you Astronomy people out there....?

Alright... now, I know that we have taken pictures of other galaxies in the universe ... but recently I was looking at a picture of the Milky Way (our galaxy, not a candy bar) and it had, down in the corner, 'actual photo' printed on it. Now, how would a 'space-ship' (one that takes pictures only), be able to travel outside of our galaxy in enough time to take pictures and bring (or send them at the speed of light) back to Earth? Considering our space technology has not been around that long?

Any ideas?? Serious answers only. (**for all the little kiddies... go find something better to do..)

Does this make sense to anyone else out there?

Why do some people fail to understand the value of the space program?

One response readily on peoples' tongues is that we have too many problems at home to justify the exploration of space--a rationale that fails to take the facts into account. Economically, the program has provided a host of benefits, ranging from computers and other forms of communication to advances in fields ranging from clean energy to agriculture. Environmentally, the program has greatly enhanced monitoring and remote imagery, historic advances in meteorology and a unique view of Mother Earth as a fragile and beautiful place worth protecting and respecting. In other scientific disciplines, the program has provided vastly increased understanding of the universe we live in and new hope of dealing with its challenges. Politically, a program that began as a beacon of territorial pride has evolved into a mechanism for international cooperation unlike anything the world has ever experienced. Continuing the space program is an important investment in the future of human kind.

Does NASA have the right to launch a missile to the moon?

I saw a couple articles about this, and the blast will be bright enough to see with the naked eye. My question is if they are sure that the blast will not affect anything, including the lunar orbital path, the atmosphere of the moon, or even its ecological impact on our earth as a factor of the amount of natural resources it will take to send it out there. Is there actually a UN council set up to approve NASA's actions?

If we ever manage to surpass the speed of light, how could it be done?

Ok, so I know that, by conventional methods, it would be impossible to go faster than the speed of light, but is there another way? Is there a conceivable way around the relativistic affects of near light speed travel?
