how did the space shuttle get loads of dent holes from hail onto it? why do they not keep it in some huge building and take it out like 2 days or less before its meant to launch? , therefore it would keep it clean and thered be no risk of damage like that. why wasn't it under cover when it began raining? do they hav it sticking out at cape canaveral for tourists or something? in my opinion its pretty stupid they've probably done millions of dollars worth of damage and around this time of year its usual for florida to get these lil hail storms

I am located at about 33 degrees latitude in Southeastern U.S. Also, this object appears about 7:30 P.M., and has been appearing for the past few nights. It passes through the sky fairly rapidly moving positions within a few minutes, as I tried looking at it through a telescope and with binoculars.

If yes, wouldn't the Sun get smaller and smaller as the galaxy expands?
If no, what are our chances of travelling beyond the solar system?

I've heard a lot of talk about this year because of the Mayan calender. Is there any legitimate theory or science to it, or is it just the media giving the public the wrong idea and individuals trying to scare us?

I am looking for anyone who has info on this old company which was in Farmingdale NY. My grandfather whom I never met worked with them and was 'affiliate' with the FBI. I can't find ANY info on him through the FBI, so I am hoping to try other channels. Anyone know anyone that worked here or knows of this place? Is there anyway to get a list of workers for this company from the 50's-60's? My grandfather introduced the 'welding of aluminum' for this company. ANY info is greatly appreciated!

hi, Im 15, I live in miami, florida and I would like to buy a good telescope, not too expensive though; and I would like to know where can I buy one. I don't want to buy one online. I want to see things like planets, comets, stars, and even galaxies (like andromeda). I would also like you to explain me basically what are the things that you have to look for (what are good brands, what are the types of telescope, what is that aperture that everyone talks about, etc.) and give me a basic idea of what i'm looking for. If you can't explain these things to me, at least tell me some websites that have good information. Remember, I'm 15 and this is great hobby but I don't want a $1000 telescope, well, I actually want one but I can't so I want something not cheap because I don't think good telescopes are cheap but something with a good quality and a price that doesnt exceed the $800's .. thank you

Back in high school I heard/read something about the Andromeda Galaxy getting closer to us and imminent collision in the very distant future.

According to more recent observations the universe is exapanding and everything is moving away from everything else. So is this Andromeda thing still correct, or has that been disproven?

I'm not talking about the philisophical implications of this question, rather, scientifically, what qualifies as life? What are it's characteristics? How would you know something is or was alive?
