Obviously it would be an unknown solar system, but still.
Our sun is a star, right? We revolve around it. Could other unknown planets be circling the stars in the night sky right now??? And if we were on another planet galaxies away (just pretend here,) would we see our sun as a normal star? This is just an interesting question to me, and I want to see others opinion on this. Plus, it's something to think about...

If a spaceship with a powerful enough drive was launched outside a launch window, couldn't it just accelerate in the direction it needed to go in and cancel out its orbital velocity?

I admit this would probably take a crap-load of fuel to do wih current technology.

I was just watching the Larry King show and they had a panel of men discussing seeing UFO'S, in fact on Monday November 12th, they will be in washington to discuss it with government officals. My question is, Do you believe there are UFO's out there.?
This panel was made up of mostly military men who seemed very believable in what they saw.

When Jesus died on the cross. 30 AD, more likely 36 AD, possibly somewhere in between, it was said in the bible that the sky went dark for a few hours. Can you help me determine if there was a full eclipse in Jeruselem during this time? thanks!

How long would it take to reach the closest star if our ship could accelerate at exactly 1G halfway and then reverse & decelerate at 1G? How long to the center of the galaxy?

Those who believe in It and please It will be granted universal knowledge and paradise in the cosmos while those who do not accept It will be stuck forever on Earth wondering about the stars and the heavens and how the Universe came to be until they, in their lifetime or next, accept It and be freed.

My point? You may never know the secrets of the Universe until you learn that just because something lacks evidence doesn't mean it's improbable.

This is just a karmic theory to think about. Imagine that all you had to do was believe but instead you reached out and tried to grab it but it disappeared. The very one thing that you worked so hard to get someone else got with no effort at all, they just simply believed.

If this were true how devastating would it be to the Astronomers who don't believe in Intelligent Design?

In the Star Trek series, they often say a destination is something like 200 light years away. They seem to get there in just a few days or so. The top speed they have traveled on any of their starships is about WARP TEN. Since WARP ONE is equal to the speed of light, that means they it would take one year to travel one light year..., meaning a trip of 200 light years would take 200 years at WARP ONE and 20 years at WARP TEN.
So are they just way off on these shows or am I wrong in my caculations?

Is it weird to be kind of freaked out about why we(people) exist, and where we are in the Universe? I look at pictures of outer space and find myself thinking and pondering sometimes where the hell are we? What is out there? we are on some planet living life. Who are we? are we just some biological stuff? What exists outside of space, outside of all the blackness of space? Is there something greater? Why are we humans, animals that can actually think about this stuff?

I realize no one knows, but anyone know of any good books about this stuff? I hear Cosmos is something about this?

We're talking here about the series of optical phenomena that took place in the sky over the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada, and the Mexican state of Sonora on March 13, 1997.

No, they were NOT flares...flares don't fly in formation.
But, what was it?

Former Arizona Governor Fife Symington witnessed the event and said:
"To my astonishment this apparition appeared; this dramatically large, very distinctive leading edge with some enormous lights was traveling through the Arizona sky."

THE STORY:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/11/09/simington.ufocommentary/index.html

Symington will appear on the Larry King Show tonight to discuss this sighting.

Serious posts only please, something "not of this Earth" was up there...
what was it?
what do YOU think?

math and science? When did astronomers start to understand what solar eclipses and lunar eclipses were? How complicated is the math necessary to calculate the movement of planets and future dates of eclipses? Before the computer was invented, how laborious was it to hand calculate those astronomy data? Prior to the invention of the clock and the 24-hour time format, how did astronomers measure time and express time?

ASTRONAUTS NEIL ARMSTRONG and BUZZ ALDRIN speaking from the Moon:

"Those are giant things. No, no, no ... this is not an optical illusion. No one is going to believe this!"




MISSION CONTROL (HOUSTON): "What...what...what? What the hell is happening? What's wrong with you?"

ASTRONAUTS: "They're here under the surface."

MISSION CONTROL: "What's there? Emission interrupted... interference control calling Apollo II."

ASTRONAUTS: "We saw some visitors. They were there for awhile, observing the instruments."

MISSION CONTROL: "Repeat your last information."

ASTRONAUTS: "I say that there were other spaceships. They're lined up on the other side of the crater."

MISSION CONTROL: "Repeat...repeat!"

ASTRONAUTS: "Let us sound this orbita ..... In 625 to 5... automatic relay connected... My hands are shaking so badly I can't do anything. Film it? God, if these damned cameras have picked up anything... what then?"

MISSION CONTROL: "Have you picked up anything?"

ASTRONAUTS: "I didn't have any film at hand. Three shots of the saucers or whatever they were that were ruining the film."

MISSION CONTROL: "Control, control here. Are you on your way? Is the uproar with the UFOs over?

ASTRONAUTS: "They've landed there. There they are and they are watching us."

MISSION CONTROL: "The mirrors, the mirrors...have you set them up?"

ASTRONAUTS: "Yes, they're in the right place. But whoever made those space ships surely can come tomorrow and remove them. Over and out."

The space is nothing but vacuum. The earth's atmosphere contains many gases. Why does the atmosphere doesn't get emptied from high pressure to the low pressure? Is it because of the gravity effect that we are saved of this to happen? I think so but just want to confirm
