All planets have a gravitational pull, but would other objects too? If there was a pen floating around in space would smaller objects be attracted to it? If this is true, How light would something have to be to be pulled in by a 10 pound weight in space?

Current telescopes, such as Hubble, are revealing distant objects...billions of light years away. So we're seeing how they were billions of years ago, not "today". What if a telescope had the ability to see 13.7 billion years back?

This question popped up in a discussion with a coworker regarding the seasons. As I recall, the angular inclination is approx 13 degrees relative to the Earth’s solar orbital plane, I believe; I’m not certain of this, though. Additionally, I tend to believe that the angle is somewhat constant.

My coworker disagrees, though. He accounts for the seasons by believing the pitch/angle varies throughout the year. But I asked, what phenomenon occurs that is great enough to pitch the Earth up to 13° (or whatever the angle is) in one direction, reverse direction, and then pitch it 13° in the opposite direction? The force required to do this would be tremendous.

I contend that the angle is constant. When the North pole is pitched toward the Sun, the northern hemisphere has its warmer months. At the opposite end of the Earth’s orbit about the sun, the North pole would be pitched away from the Sun, thus the colder months.

Can anyone shine some light on this topic? Thanks for your help.

how do you name a star for someone? I know it's possible and I've seen it in movies, but I don't know anyone who has actually done it. Can you? And is it something only a guy can do for a girl? Or can a girl name a star for a guy? would that be corny? Can you name more than just stars, like a nebula or unnamed planet?

It appears on TV that the pipe is maybe 150-200 yards from the pad.

Is it possible, with a big telescope, to see the things left on the moon from the various landings? Lunar rovers, landing modules etc? Is it possible to see the flag that Armstrong planted? Does anyone know of any photos of this on the web?

I wondered if it could be refueled in orbit then use its engines to leave earth travel around the moon and then return.

Where did this myth come from I mean the space race maybe.
But i think we have been to the moon many times but the first time I dont know but my argument would be we didnt have the technology to produce such a film look at the movies back then the special effect sucked.
