Was this a long time ago?

Are they still coming through our atmosphere today?
Could we intercept one?, if so. (Assuming a better study since the earth's atomsphere contaminates/morphs the rock rendering it hard to study, so to speak.

Most Americans believe NASA never even went to the bloody moon anyway

There is a group of people who insist that the Earth is stationary and that the sun actually rotates it,instead of the other way around. Do you think this is religious propoganda?What proof is there of either?(I don't know much about this I'm afraid), Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the subject. Thanks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that we can model a Geocentric "solar system" mathematically, with the Sun orbiting the earth and the other planets somehow spiralling round the orbiting Sun.

I imagine though that physics tells us that that cannot be the case, that the model is "innacurate" or impossible as things stand. For if the Sun (and planets) were to orbit the Earth daily, the Earth would have to have one hell of a (mass related) gravitational pull to hold such a massive and fast moving body as the Sun in orbit.

What would that (Earthly) mass be if it could hold the Sun in orbit? What calculations would I (or you) have to use to determine that? (Perhaps skip the last question, as I've seen Wikipedia's Analysis of Orbital Motion and given up right away).

How dense would it be, if it's size remained the same, and what would it be compared to, a Black Hole, collapsed dead star or Red Dwarf or something?

Everything on the Earth's surface would collapse, right, underthe G-force?

I even bet that the Geocentric model couldn't possibly be true, even if we could tamper with the masses of the Sun and planets, because with changed relative masses, the current dynamics would break down entirely. Right?

I thank anyone who can help educate me, so that I can educate others

I just recently found an interest in astronomy and im looking for a telescope that will satisfy me and not leave me in regret. I want one that has great distance and a clear view. I'm currently looking at the SkyQuest XT10 Classic. If there are other telescopes in witch you think are better I would be glad to know. Thanks.

My question is, with NASA's focus on the moon, mars, and beyond, can the international space station remain a relevant par of the united states space program? Why or why not?

please include some website or something where i can find reference and where on the page it is. <--- please do if u can :)

do u think it exists elsewhere? if so in what form?
if we are talking about inteligent life...how advanced do you think they wil be? will it be millions/ billions of years the difference?

It's 2 AM over here. About ten minutes ago, I was walking back to my dorm room and suddenly I see a ball of white light fall from the sky and land behind a hill in the distance. Then the entire back of the hill (where it logically struck the ground). lights up creating a silhouette of the hill. If anyone at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo saw something like this, email me immediately.

A Because of the concentration of gases in the vicinity of a Jovian planet, the moon formed in an unusually dense environment.

B The moon is outgassing its atmosphere, so that the atmosphere is continually regenerated.

C The moons in the outer Solar System are subject to frequent impacts from the icy bodies – the atmosphere can arise from the gaseous materials emitted by these impacts.

D The temperature in the outer Solar System is low enough that the gases in the moon’s atmosphere do not reach escape velocity.

E If the moon formed more recently than Mercury, it may still have its atmosphere but will eventually lose it.
