My professor said we should use at least 400 speed, but a friend of mine who is into photography said we shouldn't be using that speed, because the stars are very bright against a dark sky. I will be away from the city lights, looking to Polaris to catch the stars rotating around it. I just need to know which film speed is best. Anyone have an idea??

We don't know if it was made out of nothing but do we know that it can never become nothing?

Does nothing even exist?

If there was a planet at a similar distance to earth, with the same orbiting period as earth, how would we have known? Can we see clearly in the movements of Venus, Mars and Earth itself, that this is not the case?

Spirit and Opportunity for their research?

Specifics would be very helpful. I find this subject fascinating and I can't find much on the internet. Links would be helpful too, if you know of any. Thanks.

Logically, planets don't NEED oxygen/water to support life, if we don't know about an alien yet, how do we know they need oxygen? what if they have some super advance organ that allows them to breathe hydrogen or some unknown gas?

And out of all the planets out there, it's hard to believe a 1 out 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance of earth being the only planet with life....

1. Explain how to use parallax to measure the distance to objects. (I understand what the question's saying, but I don't get what parallax exactly is...)

2. Where are elements heavier than hydrogen and helium made? (I can't find it in the book!)

3. What causes a star to die?

Not the rotation speed but the forward motion of it's orbit.

My understanding is that the universe has no borders, no edge, and if you could somehow cross the entire universe you'd end up where you started (sort of like Asteroids for Atari, but..not exactly).

So, while you could say the universe has no center, wouldn't it be just as accurate to say that every point could be considered the center?

If an asteroid were to hit earth, would the whole earth be destroyed or just that part of the earth?

It's almost like keeping a suspect in custody despite all the evidence being disputed repeatedly. How does one search for a complete theory?

I was on community security patrol about 10:00 pm., checking out some of the popular teen party areas in the woods near the river. I drove down a path to about 50 feet from the end, where there is about a ten foot drop-off to the water. Looking over the water to the northeast, I could see a fairly bright light, about as bright as Jupiter. With the airport a few miles behind me, I figured it was an incoming plane. It was at a low altitude, about 20 degrees.

I stayed awhile because it was nice and peaceful. I noticed that the light didn't change. After awhile, it was clear that it was not moving, so I thought it might be a helicopter past the other side of the river. There were no towers in that direction. It remained fixed. Even though this part of the sky is fairly bright because of Baltimore being nearby, I started to wonder whether it might be a supernova. I was a pretty serious amateur astronomer and got excited about that. I knew it couldn't be a planet.
