All 6 crew-members including Kalpana Chawla died in the crash of discovery while it was on its way back. I just wanted to know what happened to their dead bodies? Were they ever recovered? If not what happened? What will happen to the bodies if they were in space? Will they decompose or remain as it is??

In Sumerian mythology a large rogue planet enters our solar system from the southern skies through about where the astroid belt is every few thousand years. It has a very eliptical Orbit of our Sun. Has anyone spotted it coming yet?

We may be defining "life" forces too slim and therefore bypassing instances of extraterrestrial forces of which we know nothing about.

also if jupiters moon has about the same mass as the moon and orbits jupiter at about the same distance that the moon orbits the earth (center to center). then why does it take only 1.8 days to orbit jupiter but our moon take 27.3 days to orbit the earth?

if stars are fusion reactors of the energy released by the fusion of two hydrogen atoms into helium,
1. how and why is it that astronomers and physicists say that stars are the thing that makes all other elements? for example, how can a star make carbon, sodium, gold, or oxygen?
2. then how would such elements get dissipated throughout solar systems?
3. where are the elements other than hydrogen? are those elements only on planets, and if not, where else do they exist in universe (other than inside of black holes)?
4. and how does a star control how planets are made?
5. how does a star cause a certain balance of certain elements to exists on one given planet and not on another? (for example, on earth, but not so much on jupiter)?
6. and one other thing: how does hydrogen eventually form into cloudlike structures in space, eventually making nebulae whereby [where] stars get born?
7. how are we so sure of all of this? what empirical proof do we have?

If we were able to put a large amount of Solar panels in the Sahara (or any other well lit area) would the electricity generated it be worth it ?

Would it be putting earth's deserts to good use ?

The Myan End-Time refers to the release of a bursting, twisting, uncoiling serpent of light residing in the constellation Sagittarius, rising out of the Mouth of God, the buldge in core of the Milky Way, striking the earth on the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21st, 2012. The shifting of our 4th dimension space-time perceptions of reality, by capturing our conscienceness, literally. The Bibical "rapture" is the experience of expanding one's sense of self into reality: the 5th dimension. How does this strike you? Ever hear of this as it pertains to the Myans?

The Sun rises, sets two different ways
Only exactly each year on two days.
Otherwise, on the horizon it.
Moves along- day by day, bit by bit.
Also changing is the length of night.
And the Sun's height, affecting its light.
Its distance is *not* one of the reasons
That we exist. We are the... ?

How is it even possible to give me facts or even assumptions as to how the Sun works and what it is made out of when it is impossible to get close enough to gather legitimate information about it. How do they know that it is 70% hydrogen, 28% helium and 2% miscellanious matter. One can't make facts about the Sun based on the way the Earth works. It does not seem reasonable to me. I believe that they can tell me the approximate diameter of the Sun and that is it. Not the temperature of the surface or core. Not the mass. Not what the Sun is made of, or how it works. I really believe that everything is based off of facts about the Earth, which is wrong. I believe in most scientific facts, but this is too far-fetched for me. For some reason this is just a question that just popped up in my tiny brain.

I have heard that black holes can suck in everything, including light, since their gravity is so strong, but what happens to everything that is sucked up by the black hole? What happens to the light?

I was reading an article by someone from New Scientist the other day and he suggested that; well if I can remember rightly; that when things are compressed to as much as they can be, very tightly, then they expand. So this is what the universe could have been. Now this experiment could be done by us on a small scale but not yet as we do not have the capability, but it is not impossible. Imagine if we put together all the minerals, gases etc that make up our universe and pact it tightly on a smaller scale, we could literally create a mini universe.

Now this is the exciting part that has had me thinking for days! Imagine if somewhere, they did do this, they had the capability to do the experiment. What if we are the experiment. What if there are literally billions of these experiments somewhere. I find it very interesting, but if the person who did the experiment was huge, could he just end our universe by emptying us down his sink!?

Anyone have any comments or further thoughts?
