Astronomy & Space - September 2007

Scientifically speaking, did we come from nothing? There was nothing, then there was a "big bang" and there was suddenly something? If the universe always existed, how is that possible? How can something not have a beginning...and how could there be a beginning from nothing?
I wish my mind could grasp this.

I'm trying to find info on monopoles within black holes or even just info on their magnetic fields but I'm not getting solid proof on black holes' mag fields, and am finding it hard to get up to date information

any opinions or information you could dig up could help.

does this mean god is no longer special?
and....... doesn't the picture look like a black hole and a worm hole that is theoretically created then breaks because of thermodynamic law violation?

Terrestrially, I look at ships that are two miles away and I want to see the flags they are flying and read the name on the prow (the stern is not always visible).

I am looking to spend a maximum of $500 including taxes. I don't need "bells and whistles" either; I just want the scope to be worth the money.

I'd rather have more scope than motorization and I want an Azimuth mount. Slow motion control would be good (ships are moving).

What I have now is a cheap 60mm f15 (a Jason 319 Mercury), with 20mm and 14mm eyepieces (1.25" with a converter diagonal). I can read the name on the prow okay, but the flags are too small to really make them out.

The 14mm eyepiece (2x marlow) gets me up to 128x, which is clear but dim in a 60mm scope (120x is probably the absolute most that I should expect).

I do like the view at 128x and for viewing the Moon and major planets etc I'm thinking of more power (up to 200x or so), though more aperture is higher priority.

Advice please? Thank you!

If anyone has been to Hawaii (Maui in particular) you'll notice the sky at night to almost glow. No matter how full the moon is, or if the moon is even visible from being covered by small clouds, the Hawaiian night sky gleams so nicely. The clouds almost appear to have a shine around them. Does anyone know why that is? Does it have anything to do with being closer to the equator?

Why dont we just quit the BSing around if you are not gonna be civilized like the rest of the world and all you want to do is destroy and create carnage then were just gonna have to drop a bomb and say goodbye. We have the technology right now to take over our soloar system. Not a problem. Lets quit fighting. start holding hands, giving each other big hugs and start taking care of business.
