Astronomy Space : What Are The Chances Of Being Hit By An Asteroid
I would like to know what the chances are that the Earth will be hit by an asteroid. ~~~ Karel P ~~~
Astronomy Space : What Happens When We Find The Next Habitable Planet
Will it be owned by the nation that lands first? Who will be a legitimate candidate to live there, and what kind of rules will there be about religion and so on? SHOOT! ~~~ only1duk ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Come We See The Moon In The Day But Not The Sun At Night
We can see the moon both in the day or night yet it has to rotate but we don't see the sun at night ; despite it being the biggest and brightest star in our universe. How come ? ~~~ wilf1992 ~~~
Astronomy Space : What Is The Diffence Between An Asteroid And A Meteorite
Are they the same thing but different in size? I don't know but it will be interesting to find out. ~~~ Tango ~~~
Astronomy Space : What Would Happen If An Irresistible Force Collided With An Immovable Object
I know this is an old chestnut but I have never heard a sensible answer. ~~~ paul j ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Small Is The Planet Pluto And How Big Is The Planet Jupiter
Compare them with the size of something which is equivalent to them. ~~~ Legend Killer ~~~
Astronomy Space : What Exactly Is At The Centre Of A Black Hole
I've heard that theres a singularity at the centre and that you would get torn in half if you fell into it. ~~~ cloud ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Was The First Experience Of Astronauts In A Rocket Going Up Into The Sky
The rocket has powerful boosters for it to escape the earth's gravitational feild. The astronauts during lift off would feel this tremendous pressure, hence what is their conscoius state or are they conscoius during this process? ~~~ rizwan r ~~~
Astronomy Space : What Is The Red Ball Thing Moving Along The Corridors Of The Space Station
I watched a video on you tube of mick softleys Time Machine. The video shows the space suttle, astronauts etc. It shows inside the space station and in these clips there is a red ball floating along the corridors. I think it's some sort of robot mechanism. Does it really exist and what is it? ~~~ purplepeace59 ~~~
Astronomy Space : What Would Be The Cultural Impact Of Discovering Evidence Of Intelligent Life Elsewhere
No big deal, or would society go into a total tailspin? What would the political and religious implications be? Do you think there is intelligent life elsewhere, or is it the case that our wanting it to exist is clouding our objectivity? Perhaps we are the only sentient species (or the first to evolve to this level) in our galaxy. Sounds arrogant? ~~~ georgina ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Far Away Is The Earth From Edge Of The Universe
Always been curious. Thank you for answering,my ignorance is now satisfied. ~~~ Matthew B ~~~
Astronomy Space : What Is The Name Of The First Star To Appear In The Evening Sky
In Northern Britain at this time of the year, one very bright star appears before any other. For some considerable time (at least half an hour), it is the only star visible in the sky - then, as it gets darker, other dimmer stars start to appear. Can anyone tell me the name of this very bright star? ~~~ Archie W ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Much Better Does A Solar Panel Work In Space Compared To On The Earths Surface
If it is more ificcient to produce electricity in space from solar panels, would it be posible to have a geo stationary satalite to send the electricity down to earth in a long cable. Could this solve the worlds energy needs. ~~~ spike ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Much Energy Is There In Tidal Power
I think the answer is a lot, but it is not infinate. Tides are caused by the moons gravitational effect on the earths oceans, but equally the oceans have a gravitational effect on the moon. This is slowing down the moon at a very very tiny rate. If we make use of tidal energy, then we slow down the flow of water, therefore increase the rate at which the moon's orbit is being slowed, by an almost infinatesimal amount. Anyone got an estimate for the numbers? Presumably the total energy available is the kinetic energy of the moon: 1/2m(v squared), where m is the mass of the moon, and v is it's velocity. But if the moon slows too much, will it's orbit not decay? How slow can it go before we need to panic? Don't get me wrong; I think tidal power is a great idea, this is a question of curiosity, akin to "when will the sun run out of fuel?" And yes the tides are slowing the moon. Inertia means that the main mass of the oceans is slightly behind the moon, and therefore pulls it back slightly. No idea of the numbers, something like 1 sec/10 million years? Maybe much less. ~~~ Hairyloon ~~~
Astronomy Space : How To Locate A Star In The Pisces Constellation
I have named a star and was wondering if there is anyway I can get a picture of the star or constellation. I have tried but am no good at astronomy. Any help would be great thanks. ~~~ xdippy_debzx ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Does The Gravitational Pull Of The Moon Create Waves
My scientific knowledge is limited - Laymans terms please if its complex but.. Surely if the garvitational pulls of the Moon and Earth effect our seawater, how does the moons gravity field become more powerful attracting water towards it? Surely it is like a tug of war and the Earth has the stronger pull? ~~~ tim l ~~~
Astronomy Space : What Would Be The Best Way To Build A Nightclub In Outer Space
What would you have in it? I know I would have holographic faries and lots of windows so you can look at nearby cosmic events. It is true i have watched to much sci-fi is that so bad? Alpha Centauri i wasn't thinking that, but now I can't stop thinking about it!!! Todd your coments are intressting. But there is no need for alcohol. There are all kinds of other ways of having a good time in a club, other than getting drunk. ~~~ Jonathan L ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Does Planetary Movement Change Depending On Distance From The Sun
I'm just trying to help my friend's daughter out with her homework! How does planetary movment change, depending on their distance from the sun? I'm guessing they move 'slower', as there is less gravitational pull, but I know there must be more to it than that! Many thanks in advance! ~~~ xbabe82517 ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Is The Physical Universe Best Described To The Layman
Eg: Is the universe a cluster of stars and galaxies somewhere in an infinite void (space) ? Is it like a balloon? If so what's on the outside of the balloon? What's the best way to visualize it? ~~~ SPACE-BOY Atheati Star Captain ~~~
Astronomy Space : How Long Would It Take To Travel To Mars In A Nasa Space Ship
I think it is amazing that people can go into space, its really awe inspiring to me!! How long will it be until humans land on Mars? ~~~ Darlingthatsfabulous ~~~
