Astrologers, Vs,,Astronomers,,?
why is it when some people r interested in astrology, all of a sudden,, a suppose Astronomer, has to put their 2 cents in as for instance,, how ridiculous, you astrologers r to compare us Astronomers, to you! some seem to even attact with words like were no where even close to astrologers, and some of us r offended when you compare us Astonomer's to your astrological views,,as we astronomers dont believe in you astrologers, as we r two seperate and not of the same! Well, I am sorry to hurt some of you astronomers, but the truth is your wrong!! reasons being,is that Astonomy is the branch of natural science that studies the celestial bodies, The word is a combination of astron, greek for "star" & nomos, greek for "law
Astrology was formerly part of astronomy, with astological determinations being viewed as a practical application"of astronomical knowledge. Prior to modern period, all of the great astonomers were also astologers, like Tycho Brahe&Johanne

My reasoning is: If it was possible to dig a tunnel to the centre of the earth, at the actual centre the mass of the earth would be equally distributed all around you and would cancel itself out; you would effectively be weightless?

Does the same reasoning apply to the singularity of a black hole, indeed does a singularity have a centre. If I am correct in my reasoning, what implications does this have, ie having a zero gravity adjacent to infinite gravity.

Hello everyone. I just got a new scope for my birthday. Ive never looked at the stars before but I love astronomy. I aimed at Jupiter tonite and was dissapointed in the result that I got. No matter what lens I used the planet never changed shape from a round ball of light. Very blurry as well. From what I can tell my scope only has one focus. Here is all the info about my scope...

Science Tech
Precision Optics 525 Power
Astrolon Telescope.

My Lens' : 20mm, 12.5mm, 9mm, 4mm. There power is shown as 35x,56x,78x,and 175x respectivly.
It also came with a 3x Barlow. With the Barlow, the power is listed as 105x, 168x, 233x, 525x respectivly.

What am I doing wrong? Shouldnt I been able to see Jupiter clearly. I did try many other stars and same result. The only really exciting thing I did see was 2 of Jupiters moons that were lined up almost perfectally. Did my wife buy me a piece of junk, or was it just a bad night, or do I need different lens'. Please let me know asap.

I've been on the high plains of experience and on mountain tops - away from city lights. Where is the best place to view the bright stars?

My astronomy teacher mentioned once that outer space is green, not black. I dont remember his reason.

does the special forces uniform blend you in with the others or is it just as useless as the other uniform?

the Apollo11 landing might have been a huge conspiracy!the landing would have made a huge crater from the engine-yet it didn't make a scratch!none of the pictures showed any stars AT ALL!!!!none of the pictures would have been able to survive the radioactivity!and one of the rocks in a picture had a prop number on it!!!also the american flag was waving in the wind-one problem-there is NO wind on the moon!!!!!!!what do you think and why?!?!?!?
