Hi, an astronaut is visiting my school tommorrow and I need to ask him a question about the fuel and/or fuel tanks of space shuttles. Can anyone give me a question to ask about that topic? I really appreciate it, I am in a real bind.

is it so they can tell the truth finaly much later to the new generation who don't ever care or remember?the world knows the moon landings were fake, it don't matter if out governemnt brain washes us into believe other wise.it's about what the world thinks not just us.just like our close allies we tell our public the truth years later so there won't be an outrage.

can you help

1. If a star is found by spectroscopic observations to be about 500 parsecs distant, its parallax is
.2".
.5".
.02".
.002".
.005".


2. Which statement about stellar motion is incorrect?
a. In general, the closer a star is, the more its proper motion.
b. The radial velocity is measured by the Doppler shift.
c.The transverse velocity is measured by the proper motion and the distance.
d. Like parallax, proper motion is measured over intervals of exactly six months.
e.The Pythagorean theorem relates space, transverse, and radial velocities.

3. While Sirius, the Dog Star, is type AO, a star just a step hotter than M0 is a related
M1.
K9.
F5.
AOK.
B9.

thanks

H. A. Ray wrote a book entitled "The Stars: A New Way To See Them," which included a convenient table showing what constellation each visible planet could be seen in, at about the first of every month, across a number of years. But his planetary table in that book ends with the year 2006, and I wish I had a continuation. And everything I've found on the internet is either more complicated than I'd like to have ... like telling how to calculate the coordinates myself ... or is otherwise inconvenient ... like maybe giving a method for finding the precise location of a given planet at a given time, or is inconvenient in some other way, for the simple stargazer. Does anyone know of a table that's easy to read and essentially just a continuation of H. A. Ray's?

this is my understandig of the big bang
first, all the matter in the universe was confined into an extreamly dense ball, then as its entropy increased it exploded. the universe began expanding rapidly and as matter began to collide planets and stars began to form.

is this roughly correct?

i am in 10th grade and have never taken a physics corse so forgive me for my inaccuracies.

Was the atmosphere too thin, and couldn't keep it from evaporation. Someone said it was due to Earth's magnetic field...so, which way? Why?

It cannot be the exact same kind of distortion, because magnetic field attracts only magnetic objects. Also, there is repulsion. Neither of these is true for gravity. So, how else could a magnet attract ?
