...as a planet? I bet it is more acurate if we explore more Pluto first or wait for the New Horizon robot for the data, before judging it into a Dwarf planet. Cos we formally know that planets are Nine rather than Eight...

It's actually freaky to me...Apollo I, Challenger (STS-51L), and Columbia (STS-107)....Like the World Trade Center, I'm sure the world will never forget our heroes of space exploration. I was extremly affected by the Columbia tragedy. I cried a lot even though I didn't know the people aboard. However, Kalpana Chawla and Laurel Clark are now my role models...May they all rest in peace!

When you look up into the night sky, all you see is black. Ever wander where "it" ends? If space is infinite, is it still building?

Scientist are always saying that they can see back in time in terms of the light that has traveled from distant stars and galaxies. If we see light freom a star that is 1 billion light years away then it is said that that light is 1 billion years old therefore we can see 1 billion years ago. I dont get this concept. If we can see as far back as ten billion light years then how are we seeing this light? How did we as observers get to where we are in the ubiverse before the light that was created billions of years before the earth was even formed? We didnt travel faster than the light that we are seeing so how is this possible? Maybe I'm confused?

Or is there a scientific explaination for this to occur. If you were on Jupiter, would its moons appear to be the same size as the sun too?

One of Sir Stephen Hawking's theories was that we are still in the big bang right at this very moment in time, and one day this big bang will crumble, and we shall be reduced to nothingness once more. Do you think this is true? Is there anything else on the subject you know about, as I find it quite interesting. Please discuss. :-)
