Astronomy & Space - February 2007

The earth rotates once every 24 hours, the moon doesn't rotate at all, leaving it a dark side, and a side we cannot see at all.

On the above date and time near Comrie, Perthshire, my sister and I saw what seemed to be a particularly bright cloud in the sky, like when the sun is behind a cloud, however it wasn't that because the sun was behind us as we were looking at it. Fortunately, my sister took a photo with her phone and the result is amazing - the best way to describe it is it looks just like a sundog (google sundogs to see what they're like) except that sundogs only appear near the sun, this thing we saw was almost but not quite opposite it. I can only think that it is obviously the sun reflecting off an object, but what? I don' think a plane, as no noise and also it is round, not oblong like a plane would be and it's too big and low to be a commercial plane (without us hearing it!). Any ideas??!

I don't understand why propeller planes aren't flown in space? Is there truth that it is harder to navigate in space than on earth and why? I think I heard on the news one time that like, if you're 10mi. off target on earth, thats equivalent to like 1000 mi. off target in space?

It's just theoretically impossible. It's like knowing how yourself look like without a mirror/camera/alike. We see those pictures of Milky way in books/online/etc., but how do they know what it looks like (when we, ourselves, are in it)? We must have put cameras/telescopes outside of our Milky way galaxy, but that's not possible.
