Tonight I saw two huge greenish colored meteors. They looked like huge chunks falling, rather than the usual little flash of light. So bright they lit up everything around me.

Is there a shower going on that I dont know about? What could cause a meteor to look green?

Astrophysicists say that the Andromeda Galaxy is raveling toward us at 200,000 miles per hour or about 55.55 miles per second. If Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away how many years will it take for it to impact with our Milky Way Galaxy?

I am thinking that it is about 250,000. If that is the case then a beam of laser light which travels at 186,000 miles per second would take just over 2 seconds to get there and back to Earth. The reason I asked, is that i saw a documentary about the Apollo missions and on one of them they left a mirror or reflector which scientists still use to reflect laser beams back to Earth. They claimed that the moon's orbit is moving out away from Earth about 1-inch per year. I assume that means that if the moon is 4-billion years-old, then it has moved away from the Earth about four billion inches since it first formed. 4,000,000,000/12 = 333,333,333 feet or 333,333,333/5280 feet in a mile = 63,131 miles further from the Earth than when it was first formed. Anyone know the moon's present distance from Earth?

Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.
It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate
on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. Be sure to watch
the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The
next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again..

I know I see Venus in the West, but I also see a bright light in the sky in the South (is it Jupiter?). I live in Chicago.

I am looking to purchase a telescope. I would like to have one that has the ability to see nebulea (sp), and be able to see individual creaters on the moon. Being able to see (with clarity) Saturn's moons would be great. I am not looking to mortage the house to get one, however. But, I also don't want one of those cheapo walmart one either.
