I get confused with directions east west north and south. Kindly let me know exactly the direction in connection with rising sun, setting sun and other.
You can choose this way:
The direction you face when you see rising sun - east/west/north/south.
On your right side when you see rising sun east/west/north/south
On your left side when you see rising sun east/west/north/south
On your back side when you see rising sun - east/west/north/south

I saw on the news that there would be a satellite visible in the Charlotte sky at 9:13 this evening. I saw it and everything right on time. Does anyone know any details about what kind of satellite it was or where on the web it is mentioned?

i have official checked and found out Mike Brown who discovered Xena, is prob. going to propose Persephone to the IAU

READ THE CONVO. BELOW

Michael Brown>> My first choice would be Persephone. Persephone is the wife of Pluto and the myth actually fits very well with how the planet is in the sky. In mythology, Persephone spends half of her time in the underworld with Pluto and the other half further away. But it's just what this planet does. The planet comes in about half the time close to Pluto and the other half further away and back and forth.

Val Zavala>> Gee, if it was named Persephone, then that familiar grade school pneumonic, "My very excellent mother just served us nine pizzas", could be easily updated. Just add pepperoni to that pizza. Well, Michael Brown, thank you so much and congratulations.

This shakes the very foundations of my 1970s education or whatever. 12 planets? What in the name of Jack Junk is going on?

READ BELOW!!

I can't believe this, just yesterday, i posted a question asking ppl whether they think Persephone/Proserpina is a good name for Xena and i checked wikipedia, they say the most common name suggetsed for Xena is Proserpina/Persephone.
Its like a dream come true if they do, i swear, because i always wished that they named a planet after Pluto the name Persephone/Proseprina, who is the wife of Hades/Pluto, respectively in mythology.

I'm gonna have insomnia tonight, LOL

Someone sent me an email saying that since Mars would be very close to earth on August 27th, its (Mars') brightness would make it look like there were 2 moons in the sky. I just wondered if this
phenomenon will really happen.

For those that don't know Terraforming means "to make like Earth." I think it would be interesting to see humans move to other planets but I might not want to go myself. I think I might get very "homesick" or maybe earthsick. It would probably be a oneway trip so you'd have to be very confident.

I love watching the NASA channel, Science channel, History channel, and anything that has to do with Astronomy! I thought that this was a great new fact to learn about!
