Astronomy & Space - October 2006

Since astronauts are away from, our planet earth for weeks even months, and also they are in zero gravity environment at outerspace, wearing heavy suits, I am wondering how do they release their natural calls?

I've read a few books by Lawrence Kraws (SP? Right name hopefully?) Which were interesting, I LOVE to watch videos on space.com, I like watching Astronomy specials on the Science, Discovery, and History channel.

Any other reccomendations to help quench this thirst? I'm REALLY REALLY curious!

I need a "set induction" for a lesson plan on how night and day occur and the phases of the moon. This is the introduction to the lesson where I would use interesting facts or a quick activity to catch the interest of the students. It doesnt have to be directly related to the lesson, but it needs to have a common thread.Then I would tie it into the lesson. any suggestions?

This past few years many people thought that persons born on the 20th of January were of Capricorn while all that I know is that I'm of Aquarius

Time dilation on a neutron star.
That sounds a bit better than 20,000 years. ;)

So in one day on a neutron star equals about 27 1/2 hours on earth. For each year you would age 53 days slower than people on earth. If average life expectancy was 72 that would be a couple years longer.

Not much difference at all.

For example, earth's gravity is two trillion times weaker than a black hole then put that in a percentage.ie. 000000000002

And if so, what phase would the moon be in and are they both visible?

There are two things. The speed at which gravity turns on and the strength of gravity. Like a ligh bulb, there is the speed at which the light turns on and its brightness.

So the most powerful sources of gravity known is a blackhole. The gravity is pulling things in a such a rate that light itself is sucked in so its safe to say that gravity in a black hole is traveling at the speed of light.

What would the speed of gravity be on a neutron star and earth?

You can convert the gravity to speed by knowing the strength of gravity.

What is the strength of gravity in a blackhole?
That variable would be the speed of light in gravitation because we know light can't excape it.

What is the strength of gravity on earth?
So what is the ratio between earth and the blackhole? Do some math skills that I am horrible at and you come to the conclusion at how fast gravity is.

If you could walk across the surface of a neutron star you could cover light years of space in only 20 feet and it only took you 5 seconds to do it. Mean while in that time span on earth, earth aged 20,000 years.

agree or no?

Consider that your age is different on different worlds (or planets). Notice that your age in "days" varies wildly..

So we have to think of how we define the time intervals we measure. What is a day? What is a year?
