What does this mean?

"For the past 70 years, the powerful signals generated by radio and TV transmitters have been leaking away from our planet at the speed of light. They have already reached hundreds of the nearest stars. If ‘they’ are out there, they already know that we are here."

As a normal joe bloggs, I can just about accept/understand that dust/gas accumulated and led to the 'big bang'; however, I am completely bemused as to the origin of the dust/gas . I am not particularly religious, but sometimes it's easier to accept the Christian version of Genesis as opposed to the scientists. Can someone explain, in laymans terms ?

Pluto is not a planet anymore. It is now called a dwarf planet. Will Pluto be used in the curriculum?
What is going to happen to the exhibits in museums which feature Pluto (talk about its details)?

According to popular belief man landed on the moon in 1969. Setting aside various problems with the official version of events let me ask a simple, scientific question. Given the state of scientific knowledge in 1969 (which knew little of the huge effect of radiation that exists within the Van Allen belt circling the earth) how does one explain the fact that (1) when questioned the astronauts said they barely noticed passing throught it and (2) no provision whatsoever was made to protect the astronauts from the deadly concentrations of radiation they would have met if they really did travel to the moon. Let us have some real answers this time and not just fudge on this issue. The facts simply do not suggest that these astronauts would have survived travelling through this huge and deadly belt of radiation.

If so - the moon could truly become a spaceport to other planets in the solar system. You wouldn't want to build nuclear rockets on Earth, because of environmental reasons. Not to mention terrorist attacks. Besides - who would want all of that radiation around? But nuclear rockets on the MOON would be a completely different story.

Seems like a good enough justification to me for a lunar outpost.

It could open up THE ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM - not just near Earth space.

I was on an all night road trip last night and spent hours watching them in the sky! It was nothing short of spectacular and I couldn't remember the last time I had seen them! I even remembered the proper name, "Aurora Borealis!"

To me, the sight almost seems 'divine.' It fills me with wonder and anticipation, just as it did when I was a child!

How do you feel when you see them?

For those who haven't... here are a couple of links:
The first one is almost exactly the same as what I saw!

Beteleguese, a red giant carbon star in Orion, is in the last phases of its life before going supernova. What would we see? Would it still be dark at night? Would we fry?
