Astronomy & Space - August 2007

Hey I heard in news yesterday that there is going to be a meteor shower on 12th august at night!! They say the best time to see it is 11:00 pm onwards!! There will be no moon in the sky and there will be hundreds of meteors in the sky!! So don't miss this chance!


I even heard that the scientists discovered a new planet and they named it "TRES - 4"!!
It is 10 times bigger than the sun, 1 1/2 times bigger than Jupiter with a temperature 2,300* C and is 1,400 light years away!!!


I just wanted to share this information with you'll!!

how many times have the Space Shuttles passed through the Van Allen Belt Radiation Belt ?

do the Space Shuttles ever venture into deep space, or do they just orbit the earth?

And I mean, even if it took billions of dollars and trillions(and possibly more) gallons of water, would it be possible? Or is it just an impossible concept?

we are guinea pigs to the aliens. aliens exist and we are a profuct of them.
Everyone is familiar with the supercontinent that existed billions of years ago on earth consisting of all the continents put together and which slowly separated to give us the continents we have today. I believe there was a superplanet which existed even more billions of years ago consisteng of all 9 planets (mercury, venus, earth, mars, saturn, jupiter, uranus, and pluto and whatever the other one was) - all 9 planets were attached as ONE planet and something struck this super planet years ago dividing it into the 9 planets as we know them today. The moons were part of the planets they most closely orbit. our moon was once where the atlantic, pacific, or indian ocean are today(probably the pacific ocean because when you move our continents to form the supecontinent the gap where the moon would have come from would be where the pacific ocean is today). Why haven't scientists acknowledged this possibility?

What would you see if you were looking into a mirror while travelling through space and gradually approaching the speed of light? What would the image in the mirror show? And additionally, what would you see?

its time again for the Perseids Meteor Shower! i was wondering if anyone knows what the distance range is for people to see the same shooting star? say, can people in different towns see the same shooting star at the same time? how far away can people see the same one? thanks and enjoy the shower! (i saw 2 tonight already around 11pm in about 20 minutes)

For example, they say we would never be able to live long enough to travel to the nearest star, because it's 2 light years away. But the astronauts only had 1 day of beard growth on there face in 5 days time because of E=MC2, time for them was slower because they were travelling faster. So if you're travelling fast through space, it may take you millions of Earth years, but only 2 space years, right? If I'm wrong then I guess I just proved Einstein wrong.

My mom and I talk/ fight about it all the time she says im small minded if the case may be
but i just want to know other people thoughts on this...
The whole landing on the moon and area 51
i mean i believe that there has to be other people out in space theres just so much of it. but what i cant seem to understand is that if the U.S got on the moon when Russia had sent the first satellite. why havn't they gone to the moon?
and also i cant remember exactly where i saw this story but i remember that astronauts had found out some secrect but then had suddenly died and they couldnt find there bodies

any input on this?

first how does a black hole have such an enormous gravitational pull? alsohow heavy is a black hole exactly? ive heard that if somethin with mass moves at the speed of light it has nearly infinite weight...is that true? and if so would somethin movin that fast be heavier than a black hole? ive also heard that black holes grow in wieght but not mass(unless i guess if 2 black holes merged together or somethin)...true?

and im not sure if any1 can answer this question but how in the wrld is a black hole infintly deep? that doesnt make any sense to me.
