Last year at Christmas I saw one right at sunset; it was spectacular. Was it the elements in the meteor, or the atmoshere at sunset? Than you.

Since we always measure “C” no matter how we move, what happens to length, mass and time of a moving object by someone outside of the motion?

I've been thinking about how costly it is to manufacture the large mirrors used in optical telescopes and whether or not it would be feasible to have instead a large panel of photo sensors similar but != the sensor in a digital camera. I know it sounds silly, but there must be a better way than just building bigger and bigger mirrors to get a better picture of the universe. What could be some alternatives?

I'm guessing the chances of them finding our probes might be astronomical. But if there are objective reasons for finding the areas of "scientific interest" that we've chosen to explore, that would bring them closer to the same general region of the planet. What sorts of observations would they need to make to uncover our by-then ancient probes? Would simple metal detection work? Density scans of the dunes that show something the density of hardened rubber (tires)? What would be the easiest way for them to detect such a thing?

I guess a secondary question might be that if there -is- a practical answer, might that be something -we- would want to consider watching for, so long as it doesn't take too much time, energy or effort away from more likely studies?

Recently I have seen a BBC program on Black Holes. I assumed after watching that show, that the galaxies which have Black Holes at its centre are actually sprial. This is because Black Hole is consuming the galaxy which makes it look spiral when seen from outside the galaxy.
