..and yes, I know.. pluto is no longer even a planet!
but - does time pass at the same rate as on earth? ...understanding too that yes, time is relative....

I've been taught in school, that stars regularly turn supernova, that this is a common event for stars after being around in space for so long. Also I've been told our sun will come to a point where it will turn supernova aswell, and will likely destroy the earth within the wake of this cosmic event. This suggests to me that a force unfathomable to me will be propelled from the sun, colliding with the earth, busting it to bits, or throttling us out of the orbit we used to have with our now, non existant sun. (granted we need the sun but would earth REALLY blow up?)

I would like to know of the destructive capabilities of a supernova, also the repricussions it will have on a planet nearby. Sorry for using 2 posts for 1 question, i just want to be specific Thank you for your replies, Its appreciated

I was reading of some interesting series of events during the Kennedy administration during the cold war. The information was provided to me that over a couple of years, Russia and the United States of America were testing Thermonuclear devices in the outter limits of our stratosphere attempting to "knock out" radio communications by the produced EMP.

Through these readings I learned some obvious facts that werent really considered before, namely that a thermonuclear device will not dispurse a "nova" or circular shock wave, often misconceived by popular Space / Sci-Fi shows such as Stargate SG-1 or Star Trek. I'm sure you understand what I mean when I say it just fizzles out when a Nuke blows up in space, so I'm curious... When a star reaches its critical mass and reaches supernova, how does the star manage to throw energy waves into space where a nuclear device can not?

One evening I was outside and in the sky I could see the exact line division between day and night right over my head. On one side you could see the blue skies while on the other it was as dark as it would be at night. But the odd thing is that it was as if there was a perfect line seperating the two so explicitly.

Has anyone else ever experienced/seen this

Imagine it. It could be made out space ships that would travel there and eventually combine them all into a giant moon colony.

Can it go so far (like googols of lightyears) that it just stops being light and dies or becomes something else?

about how we're one planet among hundreds of billions upon billions of planets, and we're in one galaxy among billions upon billions of galaxies?

doesn't it make you feel like things are put in a much different perspective?

I want a straightforwad beginner's cosmology book. I want in particular to read about the big bang, but in a non-jargony way. (I was disappointed with both of Stephen Hawking's books because I want more explanation and a little more in-depth than that.)
