Astronomy & Space - December 2006

The seeable universe is billions of light years across and i wonder if we would know right away if it were collasping in on itself or if it would take billions of years for us to know. Technically, it could be happening RIGHT NOW and we just dont' know it yet...what do you think?

I thought i saw something on the Discovery channel about how the earth is smoother than a ball bearing of relative size, but i cant find any information anywhere. Does anyone have any help or websites where this can be found?

why only very few atoms can give very big energy during fusion or fission why all atoms can not?

And why does it take the time it takes to orbit the sun to make it for it to tilt in the same position again?

If the earth is at perihelion in January, shouldn't it combine with the effect of tilt and make the sun feel stronger in southern latitudes, compared to an equivalent northern latitude in July?

Now and then we see photos in newspapers regarding the view of certain planets. Can we see all the planets together in one photo to see their location at a particular point of time ?

Would the spacesuits and spacecraft stand up to the intense heat and radiation? Shouldn't this be a consideration for any moon base?

I have enough difficulty when an itch occurs during a long motorcycle ride wearing my full face helmet. Is there a way astronauts can end what could possibly be hours of discomfort?

Okay, so we all know that nothing travels faster than the speed of light. And we know that the force of gravity that the sun exerts on the earth keeps us rotating around in a nice circular fashion.
Now, let's say, one day, the sun BLOWS UP!!! Oh my god, it's a disaster! Everybody's about to die! But wait...
Did we have a warning? Or didn't we?
It's been said that it takes approximately 7 minutes for light to travel from the sun to the earth. So nothing can get to our location, from where the sun is, any faster than 7 minutes. Light is the limit!
But... if the sun is no longer there, nothing is keeping us in orbit! Let's assume, just for simplicity, that the sun blew up and left the earth intact, and there is not enough collective matter to give the earth an even orbit. The earth starts wobbling out of orbit...
but WHEN? Do we start wobbling out of orbit immediately when the sun blows up, or does it take 7 minutes for the earth to recieve information that the sun has been destroyed

Billions of things make is possible for life on Earth. If not temperature, atmosphere, environment etc. Is it just coincidence that we can live so comfortably on this planet?

The question is isn't the design of the I.S.S. already obsolete i mean why didn't they design it to have artificial gravity so the astronauts could stay up there longer?

sorry i think that i might have squeezed two questions into one sentance.
