Astronomy & Space - January 2007

I had to do an experiment, but since my flashlight broke I can;t. :(

Anyway, which 'star' would be brighter- the larger one (the full flashlight beam) or the smaller star (the flashlight beam through a hole in the aluminum foil)?

Or the latest sunrise fall on a day weeks after the winter solstice? The winter solstice may be the shortest day of the year, but it's not the day of either earliest sunset nor latest sunrise. For the southern hemisphere, the situation is shifted to the summer solstice.

space does
a vacume is nessesary to evacuate matter in this dense atmoshere but space is rarefied [sans conductive matter],
on earth we need to empty our the gasses to duplicate the rarified conditions of space ,yet our thermose dosnt conduct heat and space 'vacume ' does.

if you look at the moon right now there is huge circle around it. Inside the circle is clear skies but the rest of the sky is cloudy.

Seems like crossing space the conventional way (chemical and ION engines) takes a really long time to get where you're going.

Is anyone working on the next quantum leap forward for propulsion? I hate to use the term 'WARP' engine because it involves warping space and time but isn't that the way it needs to be done to cross great distances.

So, the question remains, is anyone working on the next big deal for crossing space? Can you point me to any web sites?

Everything has an end, right? What is beyond the sky? Where does the universe end? Where does it begin?

There is no good or right answer for this question. Any speculations are appreciated, scientific or philosophical.
