Astronomy & Space - October 2007

The last three days coming to work, the moon was HUGE and yellow and on the horizon the other day (Central time around 5:45 a.m.). Then, on Thursday at around the same time it was almost white, much higher in the sky and seemingly further away, i.e. very much unlike Wednesdays 'moon'....Today it was even higher and seemingly farther away? I know it's full moon, but what gives to make it look totally different three straight days when the weather here has been virtually the same and the shift from fall to winter only happens in small increments? Anyone else notice it?????

When one year to the day past the 9/11 attacks, I was looking into the sky and noticed the shape of the moon. It was exactly the same shape of the moon that's on at least one of the flags of the Middle East. Maybe I'm being pretentious here, but I wonder if anyone else noticed that? Every culture ties into astrology in some way or another/degree of depth; in this case possibly knowing what moon would be up that night, one year before hand. I'm NOT pointing fingers because I can't, but isn't this an interesting unsung coincidence?

Elevations on google earth at any point on sea shore level (above or below equator etc) or somewhere on the middle of sea where the curvature of the earth changes is zero (same). If zero elevation is the correct elevation at all points along the sea shores then can I say earth is FLAT?

Please check the elevations along the seashores on google earth before answer to this question. Thx...

What will happened to the universe at end of the worm hole?
Just guesing i think they have become the heavy mass of energy to make a energy ground floor the waitlesness i think. Just like on a human hair if you rub it, and it will only take a second to charge the hair to make a waitlesness of energy but the worm hole that is why the star is also connected to create this waitlesness like a human hand. In my terms the hands of god?

No noise was there,light was glowing sometimes and when they moved towards east they were looking all black.This went on for half an hour.Can anybody tell me exactly what it must be?

That counts 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 which isn't in order.


Doesn't it make far more sense to count time from 1 a.m. - 12 a.m. and 1 p.m. - 12 p.m.?

This counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 which is in order.

Any logic behind why we don't count time from 1-12?

24 hours. I think it was hit by an asteroid. Why do you think it got so bright? Look NE tonight and see the extra star in Perseus. It is easy to see the fuzzy star in binoculars.

I was told by a teacher that the farther a scope can see into space, that you are seeing deeper into time, so if we looked back far enough could we see the big bang, or what ever happened?

I'm writing a story similar to that of the new movie 30 Days of night. I need to know what would happen if the moon was hit by some space debris stopped moving, and turned around during the full moon phase. I hope that is a plausable question. THanks a bunch!
