Astronomy & Space - September 2006

Someone once told me that the darkest time of the night is right before the sun begins to rise and I was just wondering if that was really true...

Hello Scholars!
I wanted some guidance about those fields in Astronomy where you can specifically become a non-teaching full time Research Scientist or Staff Scientist instead of a Lecturer or Professor.

There are positions of this kind at some places including NASA, STScI, NRAO and some Universities. Is there anything particular one needs to be at these positions?

My friend and I were wondering, Is it possible to fire a bullet in space? If so, will it be moving at lethal force?

What an amazing book. I especially like learning about all the science of natural and artificial selection, and of how the Earth and the cosmos around it was formed. What is the next logical step for a book to read next?

Apparently our early space probes such as voyager and pioneer have plutonium cores for power. Since this is 33000 times more deadly than uranium and the worst poison ever discovered would it be interpreted as an act of war by aliens who could be like us (or not)

I was reading on CNN.com about how a study dismissed the sun as a possiblity for global warming because it has not raised in temperature enough, for over 1000 years. I was wondering if maybe the sun could have possibly expanded over that time to increase temperatures on earth. I like to hear peoples thoughts about it. (I do feel though that people are inpart of the cause for the heat up issues).

hey guys , this question may have a tint of metaphysics but think about it !

How sure are we of reality itself? If the physical universe is real then are things like the spirit or Soul real?

when the icebergs begins to melt, the mass at the equator will be more.. angular momentum= (moment of inertia * angular velocity).. moment of inertia= mass*radius^2.. So, when mass at the equator increases, the moment of inertia will decrease bcause the radius decreases exponentially... hence when the angular momentum is constant, the angular velocity increases due to the decrease of moment of inertia.. will that cause any changes in our earth's orbit?
