well to research this i picked up my telephone and hit '0'. I asked the girl who picked up, 'why is the world flat?' she hung up on me, the idiot. so that was no good at all. \n\nthen i YIM'ed this girl i don't know very well that i just met over the internet. she said "because people haven't traveled into space yet. lol." \n\nthen i posted a myspace bulletin that said "why is the world flat" as a title, then "tell me" as the body. no one has answered, probably because everyone on my friends list hates me. oh well. \n\nthen i joined a random religious chat room on yahoo and asked out of the blue, "why is the world flat?". somebody replied, "its not" and went on to talk about something else. the dorks. ah well, its not like i was a bit weird about it lol.\n\nmy friend then told me to join this site called gaiaonline.com. so i did, and posted a bulletin that said 'why is the world flat' and 'tell me' just as i did on myspace. my answers were, respectively, "49," "Because it's god's hamburger," "so the aliens can play chess,"  "cuz of jesus," "Because if you stand, and look out towards the ocean, you can see the edge. Scary!" "It's a moldy pancake." "I'm going with the chess board idea because chess can answer just about anything anyone can ever think of!" "The world is stuck in a giant waffle maker. Didn't you know Earth is just a waffle cone for an even bigger universe that happens to be a giant ColdStone?" and "you're backwards. that's ok. "\n\nso NOW i'm a bit confused as to why i think the world is flat. i myself always thought that it was like that because the great ninja warrior above once accidentially chopped off the bottom and top parts of our planet, rendering it flat. ah well. \n\ni think somebody out there knows the REAL answer, but they aren't telling me because they like to keep it a secret. tis a conspiracy. so until i find out who it is, these answers shall have to do us for now. when i do find the person witholding this vital information, (and finish with kicking their butt for keeping us all on the hook,) i shall let you know. i promise.

Absolutely nothing is better than attending a star party and actually trying out a handful of different scopes.\n\nAnyone who brings one is there to share and would be happy to tell you about their scope and its strengths and weaknesses.\n\nWhen buying something that enables you to see, it is best to go and try them first rather than trying to visualize from a text description in a magazine or website.\n\nGo to your local community college and ask when the next one is or maybe some libraries around would have a community board.

Sorry I can't help ya dude, BUT I'm a big time fan of Orion's products.  I own a 10 x 50 OUTSIDER from Orion, and the optics are out of this world.  Extreme clarity, even around the edges.  I haven't found another binocular that can top it!  I've always wondered about those simply gorgeous views of wide stellar swaths!  I'm not endorsing here, just stating a fact Orion has quality equipment.

Wow, that's a broad area of a problem. What exactly are you having trouble with?\n\nMy guess would be that you're not confident in your ability to do maths, because that underlies most science. You need to "get" algebra, in particular, to solve most Physics problems, and some people just have trouble getting thir head round the idea that a letter can stand for a number you don't know (or even one you do).\n\nI'd suggest you try to get some remedial algebra help and see if that makes things easier.\n\n=======\n\nIf it's not the maths, then I guess you are having trouble concentrating because you don't find it interesting, and don't see how it relates to your life.\n\nPartly that's down to poor teaching, but you can't let that ruin your education. You could read some popular science books, or New Scientist magazine (your school probably has it in the library). I don't know if schools still run electronics clubs like they did in my day, but that's one way to get into a certain area of Physics. Astronomy is great to read about, or again join a local club.\n\nBut yeah, some of it is hard and boring. Thermodynamics springs to mind :-)

Just singular? Sceintist or professor? Maybe you meant scientists or professors. Not that the professors are the leading authority on celestial discoveries. They more of just train others to go outside and look straight up in the air. Usually they use a telescope. In some cases, they consult the spheres. In your case, I'm surprised you even know what the word discover means.

Creepy.  I've seen lines in the sky, moving slowly, coming together and moving apart over and over.  That was creepy too!  But no I've never seen any triangles.  http://www.nuforc.org/  That's a site where regular people report their ufo sitings.  Pretty interesting, you should check it out!

Get some Wintergreen lifesavers.\n\n(P.S. - this really belongs in the Chemistry group, not the Astronomy group)

Make sure you don't have a lens cap blocking the other end.  Try aiming at distant objects, not close ones.  It may be that it is focussed for eyes that have a different tolerance than yours, so trying working the focus knob.  Failing to accomplish anything, I suggest you contact the nearest planetarium or science center and ask for help.  If they can't help, they should know members of a local astronomy club who can.

I agree and this is one of the most difficult issues that I have been struggling with lately.  Our ancestors of 2000 years ago did not have the science nor the technology to explain everyday events.  "Oh my gosh!  That glowing ball is back!  It must be a god!"  So, they named him Helios.  I'm just so confused as to why the Bible is still the end all, be all authority.  We've obviously made leaps and bounds in our understanding of the earth, our solar system, our galaxy and our universe.  Ugh!  I'm just so confused and find it VERY hard to follow with blind faith.

I would try checking the meteorobs mailing list. And perhaps posting about your sighting to the list.\n\nhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/meteorobs/\n\nThere's also a fireball log here:\n\nhttp://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2006.html\n\nUpdate: Turns out you weren't alone. There's a bunch of sightings posted in the fireball log I posted above as well as an update that was posted to spaceweather.com\n\n"On Nov. 28th, in a split-second of total coincidence, a meteoroid the same size as the Lunar Leonid plunged to Earth over the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. What happened? Nothing. It disintegrated harmlessly in the atmosphere. A local security camera captured this movie of the beautiful fireball."\n\nAnd here's the movie they are referring to:\n\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/swpod2006/03dec06/huntsville.asf

Dear Virgo, Your libido is about to melt your side of the equator....you are dreaming of roses and feel colour in everything, as your senses are heightened. Your laughter right now is saving that one thing that you will NOT reveal. no , you have nothing to lose....you can be a real prig, prissy and hypercritical...so what? Get drunk and tell people to get the **** away from you, go to a club, climb up on the stage and sing...yeah what i said..just grab the mike and DO IT!!! sing "twist and shout"..no one can wreck that one....dance on tables....tell people what you REALLY think of them and ask them why you haven't gotten better presents in the past from them. Call the manufacturers on the back of everything in your cupboard and explain that you like or dont like thier product and get FREE coupons.I am a Virgo and guess what? I am kicking up MY heels and doing just this. Let the damn phone ring....it probably isnt for he real you anyway..YOU are coming into your own right now. Join a fan club...or not. forget housework..right now wherever anything ends up is where it belongs. Gardens are or gardeners right? So what if you don't want to do the dishes...get paper plates....eat and veg out. have a slumber party.HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!As far as work goes, cant you just call in well? OK......you want another job..you have JUST finished your first saturn return..and your entire life is different..if you havent moved yet, you will. The job will be up to you and may be one of the best you can have...go for something in radio...and WRITE ffs...ok? Hope this helps!!!!!!

We'll be watching at my school if it's not cloudy (the weather doesn't look good for the northeast US).  We don't have anything fancy, just an 8" Schmidt-Cass with a solar filter.  If we do get clouded/rained out, then we'll be watching a webcast, projected on the planetarium dome.
