The weatherman said something about being able to see Jupiter in the sky tomorrow. Has anyone heard anything about this, and if so, when (approx. what time) can we see it?

The state of our nation and its media is disappointing. Today they have shown their true colors. One of the most spectacular events of mankind occured tonight and there was minimal coverage. However, if there was a problem the would have been swarming and eager to have the heads of everyone at NASA. Remember they stopped all other TV for the first launch and landing after the Columbia disaster as they chomped at the bit for another problem. Has our nation become this bloodthirsty? Or do ratings matter more than history? Why don't the American people demand more of the people who deliver our history?

I have a 5" reflector, and am considering getting some filters. I live in an area that has some pretty bad light pollution, so I have been looking at some of the UHC/LPR filters, and am wondering if this would be worth the money. I am also looking into solar filters, and could use some advice with those as well.

Shuttles are sheduled to retire in 2010, what will take their place? Is there a new generation of space "airplanes" coming or is there going to be rockers and all that other "one-time-use" junk?

This question is to determine the mathmatical process to calculate: Azimuth, Elevation, and Time of Firing of a hypothetical rifle firing a bullet (2500 FPS Muzzle Velocity - 180 Grain Copper Jacket Bullet) at the Sun from a theoretical orbiting space station (estimated fixed altitude 100 miles - stationary orbit over Cape Hatteras, NC). Please disregard the radiation and heating efects of the Sun and assume it is of planet like composition, possibly that of Mars. For purposes of this question we would like to have the bullet projectile attempt to strike the surface of the Sun to see the math involved. Please use Miles, Miles per hour, etc., and not metric units. I pose this question as a result of answering someone else's question and realized that I lacked the knowledge to complete the calculations necessary. Also, given the enormous pull of the Sun's gravity (in comparison with Earth's) would you estimate the changes bullet velocity during flight..
