Astronomy & Space - March 2007

the other day i was looking up at the ski in plain daylight and i noticed that i could see the moon

as you know this is rare since the sun was also up

anyways i could see the sun completly but the moon looked like a half moon

this doesnt make since, if i can see the whole sun and only part of the moon it means the earth should be eclipsing the moon right ?

but then how is this possible ?

i wish i could draw a picture
but it was something like this

moon (1/2) Sun


me

so about 60 degrees up from horizon


how could this happen ??

I must say I doubt this to be possible, but I was talking with a friend who said that it was possible for people to live on artificial light after the sun dies. Personnally I think this impossible, but I thought I would ask just the same.

Do any of the five main stars in this constellation have planets? More specifically, does Ruchbah?

I have seen this telescope here at

http://www.scopesnskies.com/prod/bresser/starter-scope/skylux/mars-explorer/70.html

I was just wondering if anyone had it, and could verify that it was any good.

I am hoping to be able to see what it says in the description... Can anyone confirm that the specs are atually good enough to let me see those objects?

Also, if anyone could point me in the direction of a telescope for under £100 that is better, please say!

Thanks.

I and others are so sick of this stupid and ignorant hoax thing that seems to persist to excite feeble minds, that I might publish this every day on here.

Yes, it was just about feasible to film a fake moon landing in the 60s, but the concept of incorporating the created simulation in the systems at mission control so as to fool all those controllers for the several years of the moon missions is laughable. Anyone who thinks that is possible has not the vaguest idea of what it would take.

It would mean that the simulation would have to work perfectly in sync with the shots every second of the entire operation. One little blink in that, and the controllers would be onto it. They would literally see through the hoax in the first seconds of the first moonshot.

If what I've read is accurate, protons are composed of 3 quarks, two up and one down. They are held together by the strong nuclear force, the same force that holds protons together in a nucleus, correct?

Well, atoms can decay, in that the force holding together the protons can be overcome, thus causing protons to be emitted.

But according to my last question, protons have never been witnessed to decay, so therefore, the energy holding them together as an entity must be greater than that between protons in a nucleus, right?

Basically, what I'm REALLY asking, is:

1) Would it be possible to harness the energy that holds together a single proton?

2) How strong is the strong nuclear force that holds them together, relative to the strong nuclear force that holds multiple protons together?

3) Would it ever be possible to build an engine that utilizes this energy?

Thanks...

why are astronomerse using 1/H to calculate the age? if H is the constant rate of expansion of the universe from the big bang then the universe is not accelerating which is not true.it has always been accelerating right? so is there any way H could be a function of time to guess the age more accurate?
