I am a amateur when it comes to astronomy... I don't even have a telescope but I often like star gazing. Many times (but not always) I start staring at a star and it starts moving erratically... never fast but not slow either... it also stays in one vicinity (it isn't zipping all over the sky).

Like I said, its movement is erratic (so I don't think it is a satellite). I can see fixed or nearer objects in the sky (brighter stars) that always seem to be on the same spot in the sky... i.e., the moving "star" is closer to the fixed object and then moves away from it.

Does anyone know what I am talking about??? I don't think these are UFO's... I am thinking this is a trick of the eye but I purposely don't allow myself to get tunnel vision when I am seeing this.

I hope I explained this clearly.

do they aim a laser at the star and wait? how can they be accurate in distances over 100 light years?

I am trying to find a good quality telescope to view the planets, but I am not sure which is best. I was looking into the Meade ETX-80AT-TC Astro Telescope; does anyone know if this is a good one or can anyone suggest another. I am looking to spend between $300-$500.

do you think that if you were on another planet, that you would be able to pick up the satellites signals?

Also, I am under the impression that other moons of the solar system behave the same (I was reading an article about Saturn's moon Lapetus, and it seems that this moon also shows always the same face to its center planet).... is that true ?

I do believe in the moon landing and was curious about the mechanics behind it. The moon has amazing temparatures that I doubt anyone could withstand unprotected. What kind of powers do these suits hold and have they evolved since the first moon landing?

Now that it's the year 2007, why can't we have Japan or one of the many other orbiting satelites take "new" zoomed in photos of the moon surface showing the landing sight and rover left behind. It's only a matter of time before one of the Asian countries land a lunar module there a prove that the U.S. was in fact on the moon. Such a bizarre thing to think that it was a hoax!!

With a huge universe that hasnt all been discovered yet it is very possible for somthing to be faster then the speed of light.
I mean There is somthing faster then the speed of light. A black hole can suck up light which leaves light slow compared to it. If a black hole can suck up light then is it possible to pull the light closer to where you are and find out what the current state is? May seem impossible but as we know Black holes have a range limit of what it sucks in. If a minature star can be accellerated to the point of collapsing with a supernova then it can be possible to steal the light as in like pulling a string.
If that string can be pulled time will be accellerated between the Hole and the light of the planet or star. In which I think is a wormhole? Do you think that could be possible of all means in any way at all? Which such a huge universe? Think of all the possiblities of things like that happening in the huge universe.
