Lets say that right now the Earth (the entire solar system) is moving in some direction away from an object or cluster of objects at just past the speed of light (foregoing Einsteins theories for the moment).

If that were true (or possible) we would not be able to see the object(s) as light reflected from them would never reach us.

So let's say we started traveling toward this "object" (in a rocket or whatever) at some speed so that the difference between the speed of the object and our current speed were less than the speed of light, we would then start seeing the object. Because now, light reflected from the object would reach our eyes (or camera).

At first it would be probably appear red but as our speed increased (and the differential speed decreased), we would see the object more clearly.

Possible?

They are said to contain a large amount of mass that rotates like a galaxy, but contains no stars. Without stars to give light, it can only be found using radio telescopes. Could there also be planets in these dark galaxies that might contain some kind of life?

There's tens of thousands of black holes orbiting the monstrous black hole at the center of the Milky Way, 26,000 light years away. What if those 10's of thousands of black holes merged into the monstrous on? Could it cause us problems, someday?

I mean we did a 7 hour+ space walk the other day and it just seems so darn technical. Yet you see in Star Trek films (yes I know its the movies) how easily they get around in space. If we are to eventually send people up into space permantly them we need to get closer to Star Trek ability quickly. How else will we be able to build space stations of great size in space. A space station capable of housing 100 to 1000 people. You can't send every single piece up into space like the ISS fully assembled.

If all the material in the universe were concentrated in a small space just before the "Big Bang", why wouldn't the gravitational effects prevent light from escaping, thus creating a black hole instead of the explosion of the Big Bang?

If the Big Bank theory is true, and the universe was created from an infinite point, expanding at near the speed of light in all directions, all matter including us, on our side of the center, would be moving away from all matter on the other side of center of the universe at a speed greater than the speed of light, cumumlatively speaking, therefore the light from them would never be able to reach our telescopes, and we could never look any further than the origin of the Big Bang event.

I have this idea. I have some Phenylephrine eye drops (the kind the the eye doctor uses to dilate your pupils so as to oberve the back of the retina), and plan on trying to star gaze after using the drops. The last time I remember using the eye drops was in broad daylight, and it made the sun a living hell to be under. So I figure, if my eyes are this sensitive to the light of day, I wonder how sensitive they would be to the distant light of stars. I live in a relatively poor viewing area, with light pollution (estimated a 6 on the bortle scale), and have often light trespass from other neighbors. So to keep my pupils dilated above average is difficult for me. I have already researched phenylephrine drug facts, and am aware of it's side effects and such, so I am going to give this a shot. I am not expecting it to reveal the shrouded milky way that is stolen by distant city lights, but to be able to make out m13 and lacerta which are invisible due to the limited magnitude is worth it.

Suppose the angular separation of two stars is smaller than the angular resolution of your eyes. How will the stars appear to your eyes?

What must be the mimimum Diameter of a telescope be in order to resolve two Binary stars seperated by 0.06 arc seconds? Assume that you are observing in the visible portion of the spectrum and you don't need to worry about the effects of the Earth's atmosphere.

Which:
2.0 cm

2.0 meters

20 meters

200 meters

impossible to say..it depends on the distance to the two stars
