Is there some sort of gravitational explination for this? Do other planet moons rotate faster or slower than our unnamed moon?

In books you see division of the rings of Saturm. Pictures show different colors of Jupiter. I can barely make out the rings around Saturn. I am not using a cheap scope (8" LX-50). When using higher powers (150X and up) you loose clarity. I live in the country with no light polution and this is also during the winter after the scope temperature has adjusted.

Was it a certain color? Gravity? How was it "made"? How did it get started? (You don't have to answer all of them.)

If I wanted to detect slight changes in cosmic radiation using a Geiger Muller counter would it be best to measure, alpha, beta, gamma or X-ray radiation?

I heard that the temperature of Pluto is around -380 F. This would instantly kill any human. Pluto is relatively close to a star (it orbits our sun) and gets its heat from that star. Therefore, how cold is it in deep space where no stars are nearby?

If a person was exposed to radiation 20 years ago, does it wear off gradually over time, or does the amount stay the same in your system over the years. Thank you.

My mother-in-law has a patch from the Apollo 13 mission, with a signed letter from Jim Lovell authenticating it as one that was with him on the mission. Where can find what the value of it is?

If a black hole is a singularity that pulls in all other matter close enought to get caught in it's gravity, will black holes eventually swallow all matter in the universe and compress into one "master" singularity?

i would stop time and like rob banks, that would be so cool. Everything would stop even cameras and other electrical devices.

Imagine a huge pair of scissors, with blades one light year long. The handle is only about two feet long, creating a huge lever arm, initially open by a few degrees. Then you suddenly close the scissors. This action takes about a tenth of a second. Doesn't the contact point where the two blades touch move toward the blades' tips much faster than the speed of light? After all, the scissors close in a tenth of a second, but the blades are a light year long. That seems to mean that the contact point has moved down the blades at the remarkable speed of 10 light years per second. This is more than 108 times the speed of light! But this seems to violate the most important rule of special relativity -- that no signal can travel faster than light. What's going on here?

The Mayan's were a very advanced culture. They predicted eclipises through star formations and predicted the weather through highly advanced mathimatical reasoning. There calender is more accurate than the one we use today by 10/1000th. Their calender ends on 2012. Tell me what you think..

Wouldn't the most mass equal the most gravitational pull? Are there concentrations of dark matter or is it spread evenly out over the universe? Since the universe bends, is there a center to the universe? Having one of those curoius days and need some help feeding the beast. Thanks in advance

This item was in today's Space.com news.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20070103/sc_space/scientistsspotblackholeinunlikelyplace
In part, it says:
"Astronomers have spied a small black hole nestled in the middle of a packed star cluster...
The discovery...is surprising because some theories predict that gravitational interactions among black holes inside a cluster would simply kick most or all of the black holes out of the cluster.
Scientists think [that] because black holes are usually among the most massive objects in a globular cluster, they sink to the cluster's center. There, they typically pair up with either a star or with another black hole that has also [sunk] into the cluster's middle. A binary system made up of a black hole and a star can be stable, but when two black holes pair up, strong gravity interactions between them are thought to give one or both the boot."
MQI, why wouldn't all the black holes inside a star cluster, or anywhere else, simply merge???
Thanks.

16th of July 1968, Amstrong the first one to land on the Moon...right?? It has been much debated if this was really true or was just a fake experiment...but we never found out the real truth.

And why hadn't they sent other astronauts on the moon in all theese 40 years, but only in space..?

I want to know your oppinion.. was this true or was it a fake experiment just to mislead Humanity??

Is this an X-file of mankind?
