Mine aren't,I can't get a NHS dentist.

hahahaha, that's very funny!  Because she doesn't want fake teeth, like on a bridge of false teeth, she wants a real tooth.

Some stars might have a solar system, but not all do.  Some stars are actually two "suns" orbiting around one another (called a binary star) but appearing to the unaided eye as a single star.  Some are even three stars together, such as alpha centauri, which is the closest "star" in the sky--though it is actually three stars that look like one.  Some are stellar clusters, where many of these "suns" are all bunched close enough to appear as one star.  Some are entire galaxies, with billions of stars, but so far away that they appear to be a single star from earth.  Some are stellar clusters, where many of these "suns" are all bunched close enough to appear as one star.\n\nSome things you might think are stars are actually planets.\n\nSome are dead "suns," where the fuel for the nuclear fusion that makes the sun burn has all been expended, leaving a big mass of iron, that glows white-hot for many years before turning dark.  If you look at these so-called "white dwarves" through a powerful telescope, you can see a faint ring of matter that has been blown away in the explosion that came when the star died.  Some stars are huge, and some are small.\n\nSome of the stars we have been able to see have solar systems of their own, which we detect by the slight wobble caused by the gravitational pull of the planet (or planets) as it orbits.

Look, this is an optical illusion, and it's hard to pinpoint a single reason because human perception is incredibly complex ... there is more than one process in effect.  I've studied human perception for years, and there are things like size constancy, the Ponzo illusion, oculomotor micropsia, etc.  So the EXACT answer you are looking for is a complex answer.\n\n... This is the best link I've found on the topic, and the answer is not simple:\nhttp://facstaff.uww.edu/mccreadd/\n\nOne thing to watch out for, whenever you see two photographs side-by-side like in that link you provided (BBC should be ashamed), they are meaningless unless they are of the same scene on the same night, using the same camera settings.\n\nThe two photographs in your link are terribly exaggerated versions caused by the focal length of the *camera* used to take the photos.  I guarantee you that if you look at a cityscape like the picture on the left, the moon will *not* look like the moon in that photo.

The stars themselves don't.  It is just an illusion.  The miles of air in our atmosphere between our eyes and the star changes in temperature and humidity which makes the star look like it is flickering when it really glows at a constant rate.

I never paid attention to it. I will look at it more closely next time I see it though. I am not really sure about the upside down stars being evil though. I will look into that also.

There are stars in some, but not all of the photos.\nStrong lighting causes the stars to get underexposed, and that is why you can't see them.\n\nIf you have any reason to doubt our landing on the moon ask the Russians (Who had their own lunar program) if they believe it.  They had many spies, and would have benefited greatly if the moon landing was in fact a hoax.

science_FREAK, you think the furthest star is just 82 million km away????!!!  That wouldn't even take us out of our own solar system!  In fact, our star, the Sun, is 150 million km away!\n\nIf you mean why do some stars "appear" brighter than others, then that is because stars are at different distances from the Earth, and they are different sizes.  IF you had 2 identical stars, but one was twice the distance from the Earth that the other, then the further away one would appear much dimmer in the sky.\n\nBut all stars shine with a slightly different brightness, I doubt that any two are identical.  So the appearance of some stars being brighter than others is down to size of stars and how far away from us that they are.

Well compared to a humans lifespan we are only baby's for a short period of time.  After a certain age we need stronger teeth(adult teeth) to help digest all of the harsher stuff we eat as adults for the rest of our lives.  Some individuals such as myself have been blessed with extra teeth (3rd) a condition called freakishly "shark teeth" (because shark have 3 sets) that are still in my gums waiting for me to loss the tooth above it to come up. I am over 20, lost a tooth recently and the 3rd one came up! Cool for me!

Thats one of the funniest questions I've ever heard, and definately a first.\n\nRatio...lol \n\nEven if someone could give you an accurate number it would be too large a number on the star side to even begin to comprehend, and too small a number on the freckle side to even be able to comprehend.  No one knows the exact number of stars, or even galaxies that contain them.

Found this explaination for your question:\n\n"Shadows cast on the lunar surface should be parallel. Some shadows in the Apollo photos are not parallel indicating more than one light source, thus the photos are fakes. \n\nAgain there is a sound explanation; it is a simple a matter of perspective. A photo is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional world, hence parallel lines may not appear as such on film. We all know how lines on a highway appear to diverge as they approach the observer, yet we know they are parallel. Another important factor that comes into play here is the slope of the ground. Let's consider two shadows - one cast on an upward slope and the other on a downward slope. If viewed from the side, these shadows would appear to go off in different directions. However, if viewed from high above, they would be seen as parallel. In other words, looks can be deceiving. There is no evidence of NASA trickery here. \n\nThis photograph [see photo], taken on Earth, is an excellent example illustrating how perspective causes shadows to appear non-parallel when seen on film. In this example [see photo] the astronaut on the right is standing on a small rise. The sloping ground has caused his shadow to elongate and appear at a different angle than the shadow of the astronaut on the left. Also note, if two spotlights produced the shadows then each astronaut would have two shadows." \n\nFor more information debunking "fake" moon landing follow link

Its an illusion.  Its because the moon is closer to objects to which you can compare it.

Well no, they don't believe in nonsensical fictional figures. They only believe in an all powerful being that we have no proof of. He supposedly made us and everything, he has total power, and is responsible for everything. Now doesn't that just make the tooth fairy sound silly.

Sorry to disappoint you, but light from stars and the sun is not crooked. it is straight. Therefore, straight lines do exist in nature.

Usually it is caused by stress or sometimes restorations that are too high.  A bite splint is recommended for grinding at night.

Many of them don't actually have straight teeth - it may appear that way either because of the way the skull was reconstructed (if it needed heavy reconstruction) or the way it was filmed.  It's also a little harder to notice for some people when looking at a skull as opposed to a living person.  And the dessication of the body and loss of soft tissue tends to make teeth readjust ever so slightly.  I've seen (and worked on) any number of skulls with pretty crooked teeth.  If you look at, for example, the skull of Tutankhamun (which, admittedly, still has flesh attached) he had a pronounced overbite and slightly uneven teeth.  The overbite is enhanced because of the dessication of his flesh during mummification, but it was still an overbite.\nThere has been a gradual evolutionary tendency towards a slightly smaller jaw and fewer teeth, but the size and number of teeth has not always kept up, thus producing some crowding in the jaw and crooked teeth.\nChanges in diet and other issues have also played a slight role.  Once people moved from eating primarily protein - meat, essentially, to corn or other carbohydrates the number of dental caries (cavities) tends to increase.  Bread, depending on how flour was produced can also lead to wearing of the teeth - stone grinders for flour can leave small amounts of rough stone particles in the flour that will wear down the teeth over time.  The same thing occurs with particularly tough food sources.\nUse of bottles for feeding, thumb sucking, and similar things can change the shape of the palate in children, causing some tooth crowding or other effects.

Nasa has quite apparently manipulated the light and shadows on the second set of photographs so that the features of the face cannot be properly seen from that angle.  I suggest you investigate these matters on the web.  IMO both the moon, Mars, and Iapetus show signs of ancient ruins of one type or another.  I highly recommend the following site.  Perhaps Iapetus was the Ark that brought us here, Mars was our "Eden", and Earth is where we ended up when paradise was lost.
