Ongoing debate with a few of us who used to live near DC and have moved to Texas. Some of us think the sun really IS brighter down here than farther north.

Is there a mathematical equation for position on earth relative to sun's perceived brightness?

Artificial gravity would greatly improve the time that astronauts could be in space, and return to Earth. They would only have to make modules spin at the speed that would create a force equal to the acceleration of gravity on Earth.

OK, I know that Star Trek is fiction, but do you think that one day, people could use inertial dampers to resist the g-force created by rapid acceleration?

What would it take for a person to travel through space? I'm not talking about to the moon or ISS, but through our own galaxy and beyond for numerous years.

Does any of that technology exist today? When do you think it would/could happen?

Where would I sign up to make that journey?

Just wondering if this has ever been tried. We know we can figure the distance to stars within our galaxy by using the paralax method...by comparing observations of the same stars made six months apart, where earth is diametrically opposed to itself in its own orbit around the sun. BUT...can you actually take two separate photographs using the same principle, and in the process create one of those Magic Eye 3D images??...where you can actually see the stars in 3 dimensions??
