Of course, but not today.  Last night, my neighbors were abducted right in the middle of a game of gin rummy  We were just having such great fun when the beam of light shown through our side window.  It fell on Bob and Janet.  Oh, the surprised look on their faces! In a flash, they were sucked into the light and off into the wide black yonder.\nWe waited a few minutes and then had to re-deal.

This site might help "see" what is going on and why.  Interesting question by the way.  I saw my first one last summer and the colors were so bright.  It was amazing!  Had everyone out in the parking lot of the strip mall checking it out.\n\n\nhttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/atmos/rbowpri.html\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow

The Sun rotates on its axis once in about 27 days. This rotation was first detected by observing the motion of sunspots as shown in the animation to the left. The Sun's rotation axis is tilted by about 7.25 degrees from the axis of the Earth's orbit so we see more of the Sun's north pole in September of each year and more of its south pole in March.\n\n\nEDIT: "the sun doesnt move the plantes revolve around the sun"  Your thinking of an Orbit, the earth rotates on an axis, and so does the sun, the earth circles the sun.

I was fox hunting with my ex wife's uncle one night. It was a clear sky and stars everywhere. We were walking through a meadowfield and all of a sudden everything lit up around us like it was daylight. As quick as it happened it was over. We looked at each other startled and still to this day don't have answers. There was no noise and nothing in the sky.

No, looked for them the first night and nothing, must of been the light pollution. The next day it was cloudy, o well at least I've seen a comet or some kind of speeding rock around 1977.

It doesn't. Go south of the equator and you will see it spins clockwise.

i want to see the daily path of the sun on the sky:\n\nrising from east and setting to west as everywhere on earth but going through north at noon not south as in northern hemisphere. must be fascinating to see: all shadows at noon pointing south instead of north\n\nlove your beaches too

Call newschannel 3, I bet they would look into it.  Royal Norman may even already have an answer.  I have not seen them, though I live very close to you.  I'll have to keep my eye on the SE sky.  Do they occur at a certain time, or various times?  Are they low to the horizon?

Galileo did something that you should never do.  He looked at the sun through a telescope, which later caused him to go blind.  But over a period of time he observed the sun and he saw sunspots.  If you took a ping pong ball and spun it through the air then it might be hard to tell that it was spinning.  But if you put a spot on the same ping pong ball and then spun it through the air then you would even be able to tell how fast it was spinning. It was the same for Galileo.  He was able to measure how long it took the sun to rotate (about 25 days near the equator).

I thought it was the sun!

No.\nThe Sun may be visible for more than one day over the geographic North Pole during the Summer, but the day is still only about 24 hours long.

Yes. Here is eyewitness accounts of the miralce of the sun:\n\nO Seculo (a pro-government, anti-clerical, Lisbon paper):\n\nFrom the road, where the vehicles were parked and where hundreds of people who had not dared to brave the mud were congregated, one could see the immense multitude turn toward the sun, which appeared free from clouds and in its zenith. It looked like a plaque of dull silver, and it was possible to look at it without the least discomfort. It might have been an eclipse which was taking place. But at that moment a great shout went up, and one could hear the spectators nearest at hand shouting: "A miracle! A miracle!\n\nBefore the astonished eyes of the crowd, whose aspect was biblical as they stood bareheaded, eagerly searching the sky, the sun trembled, made sudden incredible movements outside all cosmic laws---the sun "danced" according to the typical expression of the people.\n\nStanding at the step of an omnibus was an old man. With his face turned to the sun, he recited the Credo in a loud voice. I asked who he was and was told Senhor Joao da Cunha Vasconcelos. I saw him afterwards going up to those around him who still had their hats on, and vehemently imploring them to uncover before such an extraordinary demonstration of the existence of God.\n\nIdentical scenes were repeated elsewhere, and in one place a woman cried out: "How terrible! There are even men who do not uncover before such a stupendous miracle!"\n\nPeople then began to ask each other what they had seen. The great majority admitted to having seen the trembling and the dancing of the sun; others affirmed that they saw the face of the Blessed Virgin; others, again, swore that the sun whirled on itself like a giant Catherine wheel and that it lowered itself to the earth as if to burn it in its rays. Some said they saw it change colors successively....\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nO Dia (another Lisbon daily, edition of 17 October 1917):\n\n"At one o'clock in the afternoon, midday by the sun, the rain stopped. The sky, pearly grey in colour, illuminated the vast arid landscape with a strange light. The sun had a transparent gauzy veil so that the eyes could easily be fixed upon it. The grey mother-of-pearl tone turned into a sheet of silver which broke up as the clouds were torn apart and the silver sun, enveloped in the same gauzy grey light, was seen to whirl and turn in the circle of broken clouds. A cry went up from every mouth and people fell on their knees on the muddy ground....\n\nThe light turned a beautiful blue, as if it had come through the stained-glass windows of a cathedral, and spread itself over the people who knelt with outstretched hands. The blue faded slowly, and then the light seemed to pass through yellow glass. Yellow stains fell against white handkerchiefs, against the dark skirts of the women. They were repeated on the trees, on the stones and on the serra. People wept and prayed with uncovered heads, in the presence of a miracle they had awaited. The seconds seemed like hours, so vivid were they.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTi Marto (father of Jacinta and Francisco)\n\nWe looked easily at the sun, which for some reason did not blind us. It seemed to flicker on and off, first one way, then another. It cast its rays in many directions and painted everything in different colors--- the trees, the people, the air and the ground. But what was most extraordinary, I thought, was that the sun did not hurt our eyes. Everything was still and quiet, and everyone was looking up. Then at a certain moment, the sun appeared to stop spinning. It then began to move and to dance in the sky until it seemed to detach itself from its place and fall upon us. It was a terrible moment.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nMaria de Capeli

On 25th June 2006 at 05:07:26 am, exactly IST, look in the SW skies about 60 degrees. It helps if you get your watch to exactly IST from an internet time server or something. You will see a very bright flash of light.(Trust me this will really happen.)\n\nIf this looks anything like one of ur "UFO" sightings then it wasnt a UFO but sunlight reflecting off the solar panels of a Satellite.

YES, me and my friend were driving and all the sudden up in the sky a bright yellow light  flew across the sky, kind of like a shooting star, but then it stopped and hoverd for like a second and then shot straight down, when it seemed like it should have hit the ground there was a bright flash of light. this was almost two years ago, it sucks because you had to be there to see how weird it was, and its impossible to get people to take you seriously, so i kinda just let it go
