Can anyone tell me a web address where I can go, to find out how long it would take to travel to the Moon at the speed of sound? It must be the speed of sound not light. Please give me the web address as I need to look at the info myself. Thanks.

Apparently ... "the Pacific sea floor is only 0-150 million years old"
I thought it was because the moon hit the earth.. apparently not, it could have been because of a "glancing blow" from another asteroid... so ...

How the Pacific Basin Formed ?"

Are you going to watch for it? If so, check out Heavens Above.com for trajectory and exact times. It is pretty cool and tonight it is supposed to be brighter than the brightest star.

i have been staring at a close up picture of the moon for some while... if the moon was originally an asteroid that impacted earth.. did it wipe out the high lands (higher then sea level) to create the expanse we know as the Pacific?

i am also wondering if the moon is partly made up of all the countries that should be where the pacific ocean is today.

I understand that allah was a moon god, Is there any mention of how the moon came about in the Koran?

A friend of mine has just taken some breathtaking pictures of the moon (with a Nokon D200 and 600mm lens) The detail is incredible, i can not believe this planet is 250 million miles away...

In staring in amazement at the images, i was wondering where the USA flag is located. ie. "At about 10 o'clock near the biggest creator impact" or near a named location that i could look up on google. BTW my google searches only came up with the hoax theories, most annoying.

Thanks for any relevent or interesting answers. 10 points to the best one of course! Many thanks, Maximus

Have wondered from day one, as I recall Camelot saying the chances of a roll-over was less likely than anyone winning, yet there are constantly rollovers, especially coming up to Christmas. Obviously more tickets are bought if jackpot is higher than usual. Also wonder why the actual draw is not made immediately after the ticket machines are closed at 7.30pm. My own thoughts on this are that the balls could have a magnetic card inside which could be activated, similar to the magnetic strip on a credit card, to magnetise the ball which could be attracted to the tube which collects the winning numbers. Bear in mind your credit card is electronically activated when you call the card company.I think the time between the ticket machines closing and the draw being made is used by Camelot to collate all ticket sales and orchestrate the winning numbers to their advantage. Why not simply have 7 memers of the audience pick the balls out of a bag at 7.35pm? Do you know any big winners personally?

Atleast, in the US. You see, the news paper will never say the Spring Equinox on its real date because when it is actually the Spring Equinox, it doesn't look like you're getting 12 hours of sunshine. It looks like this on a different date. I want to know three reasons why its not.

We see the universe in the past, the light from our sun takes 8 minutes to get here, and objects beyond our solar system hundreds of thousands, to millions of years to get to earth.
