A really easy one to finish off your week.

I have a full 1 kg bag of sand. I then take it to Jupiter where
Gravity is 2.5 times that of earth.

What is the Weight of the aforementioned bag:
1) Before it left Earth
2) When on Jupiter

Fastest Fingers first.

Ignoring the fact that Jupiter is a Gas giant, and has such immense
Gravity, Pressure and other unpleasentries, it is not really possible
to land on Jupiter (Just in case you were wanting to make plans for next summer).

The gravity strength is not really 2.5 times earth, maybe more 2.3 that of earth. Whilst it is fractionally weaker, that close figure has been used to remove the need of calculators.

Is it true Pluto got the boot because it isn't made up of solid mass?

I heard that every so often pieces of this belt hit earth and devistate life on it. They also are belived to have been the source of most of earths water. There was also something about our solar system being part of a binary system and the other star was actually a neutron star, this had something to do with the reason we were being hit by pieces of the Kuiper Belt.

They say it's not going to affect really anyone but i think there is an effect.

I am often so confused because I know when I look at something in the sky like a star I could be looking at it the way it actually was many many years ago. Because it took so long for the light to travel. So its like looking back in time? But what I don't understand is when Astronomers say they found something new like a new star or planet or whatnot, its not very new is it? And when you look through a telescope and see something closer, are you looking forward in time, or is it just the same way without a telescope, just magnified?

I was reading about a probe launched to Europa and they deliberately crashed it into Jupiter so any microorganisms on the probe would not get onto Europa. Can you tell me about these microorganisms?

Sometimes I feel silly, but I can never help but stop and point my head up to look at a very starry night sky. I never ever ever get tired of it. I don't know why. It is just so amazing. I also love learning constellations so I know what I'm looking at. I just saw Saggitarius and Scorpio tonight :] Do you like looking at the stars or do think its silly? I know many people don't seem to pay much attention to it.. it seems like.

It's unbelievable how many people have prophesised the end of the world, and how many idiots have believed them, given away all their possessions only to find it didn't happen.

And people still get fooled. It is amazing that people are so gullible.

It is not surprising that young guys can strap bombs to themselves and kill and maim innocent people in the belief that they will be assured a place in heaven with 70 virgins on offer.

It is not surprising that a whole swags of people could be fooled into thinking it OK to send millions of innocent men, women and children into gas chambers (recalling that this was a high civilisation country, just in case you think it only Arab muslims that can be brainwashed in this way).

And still it goes on

Yes, some day something will come along that will wipe us out. But nobody knows when, even though the world is full of idiots who believe otherwise because a bigger idiot told them so.

It's staggering.

Please don't laugh at me... but tell me what you think. Well was thinking. The moon revolves around the Earth. The Earth revolves around the sun. The sun revolves (very very slowly) around the milky way.... so I was wondering... maybe.. if maybe the Milky way and all the other so many many galaxies revolve around something bigger too, but its just so slow we haven't been able to tell? and so far away, we can't see it? Like my Astronomy professor said that where there is empty space (I think its called quintesscence) the material is different than where there is things close. But quintesscence is the space that actually holds everything together, so maybe its like another type of gravity? Pulling us all around something bigger? I'm just wondering...? Because there's still so much we haven't discovered in outer space.

Its possible with what we've been hearing of water, ice and structures being discovered on Mars. The alien race that was there may have built underground, nuclear reactors that releases oxygen into the atmosphere thereby making life on the surface possible. The aliens were wiped out before they had a chance to turn the generators on. What's your opinion?
