Early in October 1957 communications stations started picking up a regular beeping noise coming from space. \n\nThe signals were coming from Russia's Sputnik 1, the world's first man-made satellite. The launch of Sputnik caused a panic in Washington, as the USA realised how far it had fallen behind in the space race. The worries deepened three months later, when a Vanguard rocket with America's first satellite exploded two seconds after ignition.\n\nIt was January 1958 before a Jupiter rocket successfully launched Explorer 1, the first American satellite.

I would have to say yes. As an avid amateur astronomer the search for knowledge is always a good thing. After all, the Hubble still has a few good years left in it, but they won't upgrade it (I think it's a mirror, that was made specifically for it, and it's still sitting on earth because NASA wants to scrap the Hubble). Mind you, I could be wrong about NASA's decision, since I heard it was going to change and they would be upgrading after all. As for us willing to spend the money, sure. After all, our tax dollars are being wasted elsewhere. I honestly believe the individual should decide where the majority of their own tax dollars are spent.

is it possible that this might be called the cat's eye nebula?  if so, go to hubblesite.org. no specific listing for "god's eye"

I would recommend a Meade ETX-90.  That's about the lowest price scope you can buy with good optics.  Don't waste your money on a $49.95 cheap 60mm scope - a good pair of binoculars are much better, you don't have to set anything up, and they go with you in your car's glove compartment.\n\nThe Meade ETX-90 is a Matsukov Cassegrain ("Mak-Cass") telescope.  It comes with Autostar (computer guided "GOTO" feature that lets you view 1000s of celestial objects with the push of a button).  It also comes with a very sturdy tripod, motor drives, and push-button focus.\n\nRetail price about $750.00 with everything included.  As I said, if that's too much money, binoculars are a better option.  A good pair (10 x 25) will run about $60 to $100.  With good binoculars you will be able to see craters on the moon, the Andromeda Galaxy, and star clusters.  You wil also be able to make out Saturn's rings and Jupiter's main moons and equatorial bands.\n\nThe nice thing about a telescope with a motor drive is you can stay focused on an object without constantly having to adjust the telescope.  The art of astronomy is not something you can pick up in a day.  Most people looking into a astronomical telescope for the first time won't be able to make out even one tenth as much as somebody with experience.  So, if you plan to spend some time with your new toy, it's well worth it to get something that will hold your interest.\n\nThe other nice feature about this particular telescope is that it doesn't flip things upside down (like most reflector scopes do), which means you can also look at land objects.  It does flip them horizontally, like a mirror image, but that's not a big deal.\n\nOne last thing:  For astronomy, magnification is the least concern.  You want light gathering ability.  No matter how powerfully you magnify a star, it's not going to get any bigger.  You want to see as big a field of the sky as you can.  Magnifying it just narrows the field to a few stars, which is highly uninteresting.  By the same token, if you view the Moon, magnification helps somewhat, but it just makes things bigger and fuzzier, not any clearer.  A tiny detail in sharp focus is much better than that same detail made large and fuzzy.

My favorite of the free ones is Celestia.\n\nhttp://www.shatters.net/celestia/\n\nyou can fly to any star and then center the view on our sun, Sol.  By turning on constellation boundaries, you see what constellation it is in--and how badly mangled the constellations become when you go far away!  It has some extra solar planets modeled too (generic planets, since we don't know what they really look like).\n\nSo if you go to this site and download and run Celestia, you can do the following:\n\nclick Navigation at the top, then goto object.  Type Arcturus in the "Object" field and click "goto".  The way I have it set up, my screen is now all white (I'm TOO close to arcturus!).  I rotate my scroll wheel down to move back some to see the star better.  (HOME and END move forward and back if you have no scroll wheel).  Then, I click Navigation, then Select Sol to select our sun.  Then hit Navigation and Center Selection, and there's a teeny yellow dot in the center of the screen--that is the sun. It appears to be in the constellation Cetus (a really mangled barely-recognizable Cetus).
