Do you know of a website, publication or source, simple, that can give me day-to-day positions of visable heavenly bodies. For instance, tonight, a bright thing is in my west horizon, another is east high, and another is SE, very bright. I want to be able to use a source, simple, that tells me what these planets or stars are.

I suppose that astrology gets it wrong and many people are not the sign that they would be if actual astronomical data was taken into consideration. I don't really believe in astrology, but still, it would be interesting to find out what your real sign would be according to astronomy. :)

I've heard 2 versions my whole life. One is Hailey with a short 'a' sound. The other is Halley with a long 'a' sound. I've pronounced it Hailey my whole life, so it's the version I prefer to stick with, but I'd still like to know which pronounciation is correct. Thanks!

Does it go in one direction (like a particle), or does it emit (like a ripple) in all directions simultaneously?

If emitted in one direction (like particle), how is it that a mirror is capable of reflects these photons in exactly the same direction that they came from? Where aren't they bounced in all random directions?

Hello,
I am currently an Earth and Space Science Student but I take my class virtual as in over the computer.
And if one site does not open for me I can't complete the assignment that = bad.

Right now I am learning about different telescopes and the resource site they have given me won't open for me on my computer.
http://adc.gsfc.nasa.gov/mw/mmw_telescope.html

So I need help, I need either a new resource site (That would be the best because I need to learn this) or answers.

The resource site must cover these questions

Explain why some telescopes that collect electromagnetic radiation in the shorter wavelengths, such as ultraviolet or gamma rays, need to be placed either in dry areas or outside the atmosphere?

Explain the two problems that we have with using optical telescopes from inside the atmosphere.

Electromagnetic radiation travels in waves. Waves have energy. What is the relationship between the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation and the energy of the wave?

Thanks!
