If you are talking about shooting stars, they are obviously moving because they are buring out, and they go out with a bang!\n\nStars always seem to twinkle because their force is always moving, the gas makeup seems brighter and darker at times.\n\nOtherwise, the earth is always moving, thats why they seem to never stand still. ( try looking at a planet in a high powered telescope, you only have it in focus for a few moments, then you have to readjust to keep looking at it because of the earths rotation.)

Have you ever looked at the sky and seen a shooting star?\n\nThese are meteors burning up as the enter the atmosphere.  Is this what you are talking about?

You can do it with a laser a small circular obstacle (1cm diametre) and some lens. You built a telescope like picture to have 2cm diameter beam  you put the obstacle in front and you regard at 20 cm from the target

Find a way to catch them in the act.

Assuming you have the money, shoot for the stars.\n\n/doc

what r u people talking about. you can still see stars when you get hit, I have a personal experience although it was more like little squares of light.

Not often enough. When I was homeless living in my car, I would study the constellations, try to remember the name of each star in Orion. I had a star chart. If it were not for thieves, I would live in a tent again, watch the possums and raccoons come out at night, feed and watch the birds by day, and stare into the stars at night. My dream home though would have a lighthouse top with windows all around and a telescope. Enjoy your time outdoors, and try to learn the names of as many stars as you can, for me. I don't know when or if I'll ever get the time to enjoy them like I once did again.

Oh, a con artist.  Make up any vague and positive advice that could apply to anyone.  Then use astronomy to find the location of stars and planets and tell the victim the two were connected.  Then take the sucker's money.

Due North.  There are a couple of ways to find it.  One is to face due north and look up a bit.  If you know your latitude, you can find the North Star by looking up that many degrees from the horizon.  Hence, if you're in SF like me, the North Star will be ~38 degrees above the horizon.\n\nThe easier way is to find the Big Dipper\nhttp://www.wsanford.com/~wsanford/exo/constellations/bigdipper.gif\nWhich is a prominent and easy constellation to find in the northern sky.  Then, close one eye, stretch out your arm, and spread your fingers so that the front two stars (across from the "handle") are each covered by one of your fingers.  Those front two stars point right at the North Star.  Trac out in a straight line from those two stars, going "up" (if you imagine the dipper being oriented in a way that it would hold water) for a distance that is five times the distance between those two front stars.  So if you swing your arm along, placing the lower finger where the top finger just was, and keeping the spacing of your fingers steady, it will direct you to a bright star.  That star is the North Star.

The stars emit particles that reach us.

Ask mom or dad if you can borrow their camera for your project.  You need a camera that will let you set the shutter to open for say an hour.  ON a clear night go outside in a very dark place and place the camera on a table open the shutter to take the picture and wait.  The Picture you will see will be of the stars only they should show signs of having tails..  This will show the amount of distance the planet moved and rotated in relation to the fixed point ( the stars )  It will also give you a cool picture.  Good luck.

The whole thing in pool is that the angle of inflection is equal to the angle of reflection.  I wonder, I've never tried this, if using a laser pointer to show the line of sight and the place on the ball where the cue ball should hit.  You could also use a mirror and a laser to find the position on a the bumper to shoot the cue ball for a bank shot.  If you move the mirror along the bank with a laser behind the cue ball pointing at the mirror, the only time it will shine on the ball intended to be struck will be at the position you would like to aim the cue ball in.  \n\nI just made all this up, so I don't know if it would work.  But, it would be a good visual way to describe what you are trying to explain to your friend.

You need a telescope to see them.
