Ok so, Me and my friend are talking about black holes.

And he says that theres no such thing as a black hole being
smaller than earth.
I say that theres a such thing IS a such thing.

So, I even googled it. And it said that the smallest black holes
are about 10-35 meters.

So....If you know anything about black holes, Please tell.

Also, Can the sun one day become a black hole?

Mars is supposed to be closer tonight than it will be for the next 9 years. I'm using a meade telescope that my dad picked up for about $800 a few years back. I found Mars, but I'm not impressed. What I see in the telescope is basically what I'm seeing with my naked eye. From what I'm reading, my telescope should be able to present a larger "image" of the object in question. I've tried different eye pieces and tried focusing to each eyepiece, but I always get the same result. What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't Mars appear even slightly bigger? Thanks for the help-- Mike.

My husband wants a telescope. He has never had one before, but he figures things out quickly. Does anyone know of good package deals, maybe with a dvd to help him find things in the sky? I would like to spend around $250 give/take. I have read many pages and many say start out with bionoculars, but everyone tells me he will be disapointed if he wants a telescope. I also know enough to go somewhere other than Walmart/kmart etc. My head is spinning, so I need an easy way out. Will someone tell me a good tele. to start with. I would love for him to see something interesting like planets or other moons. Forgive me, this is not my strong point. Please give me some different models to look up. Thanks in advance!

And yet we seem to think we know all.....! sigh !
