Neglecting energy absorbed or reflected by Earth's atmosphere, the solar energy hitting 1 square meter of Earth's surface is 1360 J/s (the solar constant). How long does it take a baseball diamond (90 ft on a side) to receive 1 megaton of solar energy? (Hint: A 1 megaton bomb produces about 4 x10^15 J.)
__________years

I'm planning on buying a 5mw green laser pointer to mount on my telescope. Is it illegal to use it at night, just pointing at the sky (not waving it around, obviously) or is it fine with the law? Must I have legal, signed documents to use for astronomy or must I be a scientist conducting an experiment?

If escape velocity from Earth is 25,000 mph and the moon is 250,000 miles away, shouldn't it only take 10 hours to get there?

The Galaxy! I want peoples theory on how it was created. It could be the Big Bang theory or just something you made up! I thinks it was always here and that it's old enough that no one will ever have the technology the see how old it is. Just so people know THE SUN'S GOING TO BLOW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! But that's billion's of years from now and how people think in million's of years California will fall off, Global Warming will probably kill us first but that will also take a very long time. Not to worry anyone but hey it's true! To: Global Warming >:P

Is it the super massive blackhole in the middle of our galaxy that makes everything spin? If so would passing through the central band of this massive gravity not cause a poleshift?

big white ball with a little red. I am looking at it when it is low in the sky. do i need a filter( if yes please tell me what kind ).
Again I am using a meade 4.5" reflector with my 8 mm eyepiece. i am sure that i am looking at jupiter.

There wasn't enough room to give enough detail in the ? for it to make sense, so I'm elaborating here! LOL I don't know that this has ever been done before, but, my question is hypothetical; I'm wondering what type of protections someone would have to put on a movie camera, to avoid it burning up or being jarred loose, for it to survive being on the outside of a spacebound vehicle (like the Shuttle) while going into space. Let me know if you need more clarification, and I'll put it up. :)

Can you please explain why humans are the only ones with umblical cords. Some Scientist say we evolved or what ever they say. They don't believe in God. This is why I don't understand what they are saying. Please anybody who believe please explain it to me. Thank You.

This experiment with a gyroscope (like a spinning top) measured the amount of time it took to stop. In the same direction, ie right spin, measured time, right spin, measured time... it took the same amount of time to stop. However when the direction was altered, ie right spin, measured time, left spin, measured time, right spin measured time, left spin... it took longer each time for the gyroscope to stop. When left alone for a certain amount of time, then spun again it still had a longer amount of time to stop. It took a month of the gyroscope not being spun for it to return to its original spinning time.
The experiment didn't result from error as it was done by an experienced physicist who used different materials to make sure the experiment had no fault.
The gyroscope appears to have attributes that make our present perception of mathematics and physics not fully thorough. It appears to escape our present perception of time.

I was wondering sine space is vacuum? How does it propel itself and changes direction when there is no air to thrust itself?

Converting into Earth Years:
Period; 1.69150 days divided by 365=0.004634327 (So this is my P)

Converting radius in AU:
Amplitude; 2.8674 into 1050= 0.002730857 (And this is my A)

Then take A^3= 0.00000002

Then take P^2= 0.000021477

Then take A and P and divide it, which equals to= 0.000948251 (Which I suppose is M?)

Ok up until now do you think I’m right? And these are the next steps one guy told me to do not sure if it’s right or not.

Take the answer of 0.000948251 and multiply it with the mass of sun, 2x10^30. Which equals to = 1.89650283 to the power of 27.

Then take that number and multiply it with 10^27, which equals to 1.89650283^54.

So is my answer then the last one? And here's the question Im being asked: If your answer is 2.0, your calculations say Jupiter is twice as massive as the Sun, if you get 0.005, then Jupiter is 1/200th of the mass of the Sun. Does your answer make sense?

Hi,

I have an 8" Celestron SCT and I just bought a Celestron Astro Solar Filter. I was pretty disappointed the first time I used it because I wasn't able to see any detail in the Sun at all. I could only see the Sun as a white circle. I used different eyepieces to vary the magnification from 50x-300x and still no definition at all. No swirling, no lines, no spots. Nothing. Just a white circle.

Is there a better filter that I could get that would show more definition?
