That is so odd to all of us who are interested in astronomy. Venus is the third brightest thing in the sky after the sun and moon and is visible in the evening or the morning sky most of the year, yet so often people who have lived for years see it and wonder what it is.

My advice is "get out more, folks".

as it seems that the universe its expanding, and distant galaxies are constantly moving faster and faster away from us, this increase in speed its more noticeable in galaxies which are really far away from the milky way as the doppler effect sugests, so what is happening at the edge of the universe, are things moving apart relative to earth at faster then light speed? who can give me an insight into this question?

I know that nobody will ever know for sure. To me, the big bang seems like a primative theory and I'm not really a religious person.

Hi All, My daughter saw a bright star in the sky just after the sun went down. I think it was a planet as it was very bright. Can't seem to find any info on which planet it was. Anyone know? I live in Nova Scotia Canada. Today is January 22/07.

How extensive could the damage be to our planet? Would our very existence be threatened? Are there any feasible counter measures to alter this asteroids path? Is it possible to forecast the future impact site on our planet yet? If we can do nothing to prevent this strike, What would our "Government" suggest we do, and what then should we really do? Sorry so many questions at once.

I have to do a survey on the topic above for school so if you could answer the fallowing questions with a Yes, No, or Undecided it would mean a lot.

1) Do you belive there are problems on Earth?
2) Do you belive there are issues in space that need us?
3) Do you belive that the US is using to much money on space exploration instead of more imprtant things?
4) Are you interested in astronomy?
5) Would you want to be an astronomer?
6)With so many problems here on Earth should the USA continue an agressive exploration of space?

if it takes about 8 minutes for the sun light to reach earth due to the sun distance to our planet, that means, if suddenly the sun ceased to shine, planet earth would only fall into darkness after precisely 8 minutes, which is the time delay expected if suddenly there is no light coming from the sun, however in the very unlikey event that the sun suddenly just vanished, then planet earth and all the other planets would instantaneously come out of their original orbits as there would be no sun's gravitational field anymore. hence the geodesics that planets follow around the sun would cease to exist instantaneously. so that means if the force of gravity its caused by this particles called gravitons, surely it appears that at least there is something which has an effect faster then the speed of light. am i right, or wrong, you decide.

If you built a slingshot from rubber bands, how big would it have to be to send a rocket to the Moon? Tough one! (You can do it).

Think about it. Hopefully over the next few billion years, humans (or whatever takes our place after the "great extinction") will strive to propagate to other worlds as our sun nears the end of her life, making life here on Earth unsustainable.

Maybe DNA arrived here from another world, sent by "aliens", in hope of recreating an image of themselves on other planets as their own planet disintegrated.

I'm not saying that life didn't evolve here from the beginning, or elsewhere....but are there not other possibilities? I mean, that is what "we" will do within 50 billion years, right? Stephen Hawkings is advocating for that even now!
