Dr Phil, the bad astronomer, get's quite passionate about the whole equinox thing, and maintains that the sun crossing the celestial equator is the middle, not the start of the season. What's the official take on this?

I once read a book about our Solar System. It gave the diameters of the above (which I no longer have, unfortunately). To understand those figures a bit better, I scaled them down and came up with the following:

The Sun: 9'0" in diameter, the height of my kitchen ceiling (but imagine it as a 9'0" sphere).
The Earth: The size of a table tennis ball
The Moon: The size of a 1/4" ball bearing.

What do you think of my calculations. Are they accurate?

is anyone concerned about the possible black holes that will be created by the new hadron collider?

i read an article recently that said black holes could essentially be produced every day, however because they are so very small it is kind of a non issue. how much do we really understand about black holes? could they be attracted to each other and form larger masses?

I see alot of cool shirts with astrology signs, but I don't really like to wear one that saids Cancer. Why can't they change it? It would be like another astrology sign if they called it tumor.

Examine this photo and explain how the lunar lander can be seen "in front" of the cross-hair of the camera. Obviously, a touched up photo...

I'm sure someone like Richard Branson would pay for a project like that to be Built if there was a cash prize involved.
