About the Mars rover getting ready to descend into the huge Victoria Crater?I think it not only is fantastic but amazing that it is still working after 3 years when only though to have a 3 month life span. America at its best!

Only heard about this recently, a star that didn't expand into it's solar system when it "died", what are the mechanics of that?

I was thinking about this. They claim that the universe is expanding, but expansion implies an object growing in space around it. My theory is that rather than the space between matter growing, the matter in space is shrinking. This would mean the size of the universe remains constant but as we are shrinking at the same rate as our nearby surroundings it appears as if space is expanding.

Perhaps it is gravity that is causing this shrinkage.

Perhaps there was no big bang, rather a big shrink, the matter collapsing under its weight and the spaces in between increasing.

This might mean that black holes in our universe form mini-universes of our own, and in turn our universe is merely a black hole in a larger one, and infinite regress of black hole dwelling universes.

I am looking for some one to provide proof that the above is wrong. There are many levels within this question so feel free to attack it at any point, or agree with some of the early points but destroy the later.

I am looking for a nice flexible software that can simulate solar system dynamics - I should be able to place planets in different orbits, define perturbation of their orbital radius, define inital conditions, etc, and would like to observe satbility or instability phenomena. Any free-wares available or any links?

In the past said that it was impossible for People to go to the moon or into outer space, but Neal armstrong proved them wrong. Do you think that its impossible to go back in time? We had a discussion about this in class, so i was just wondering...

Imagine you have been selected to be a crewmember on a deep space probe that will be gone for more than 30 years. The crew is small--only four or five people. You can select anyone you want to travel with you.

The scientists expect the probe to return to earth at the end of the journey, and you are healthy enough to survive several decades of space travel.

Who would you choose to make the journey with you?

at the end of its life a star becomes a red giant and blows up
with a stellar explosion called supernova. But where does it get the energy for this supernova. YOU CAN SEND MAILS TO MY ID IF U HAVE SOME PICTUTES OR SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION.

What if an advanced civilization from another galaxy had the technology of high resolution telescopes beyond the realm of anything we currently have, and they could see detail on a planets surface, would they be able to see let's say the dinosaurs or our early ancestors walking about? In theory this would seem possible
