How can I get a skywatch for May 18 - 25 in Arizona? My family and I will be rv'ing through Arizona in a few weeks, and I wanted to take advantage of the clear night sky to see show my kids some of the constellations, meteor showers, etc. Does anyone know of a site that predicts any stellar happenings on a certain date in a certain place/

Learning constellations? I'd really like to introduce my kids (under 7) to astronomy. Each time they look at the sky, they always ask what constellations I see. I always show them the dipper and Orions belt. Other then those two, I really can't spot any others. I was given a book on astronomy which shows all the constellations as well as the myth behind them. However, I do find it very hard to locate them. Are there any tips to assist? Are there any pc programs available that could be configured for the city you live in that would show the various constellations for a given day and time from our location. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Which constellations can I view in Bakersfield, CA? So far under lite polluted skies, I can view the Big Dipper & Polaris in the north. I can't see Orion; perhaps that doesn't appear in my neck of the woods for another month or 2. & I think I can c Pegasus in the south. From what I can remember from a constellation book I had as a kid, the torso of Pegasus was a quadrilateral. I ain't sure if Pegasus can b viewed @ this thyme & in my area. Maybe I'm just lookin' @ a quadrilateral; there is a bright star near it, thought.

Senior high school project, is this a good idea ? I would like to create an astronomy book for young children. This book would be read by parents and would contain ideas of things to do with their kids such as going oustide and spotting constellations that are illustrated in the book. Also some facts that kids can understand with colorful pictures. Yes? No? Maybe so? Ideas ? I'm trying to do something simple enough with astronomy. Thanks y'all :D PS. I know it's the wrong section but I'm trying to get as much feedback as possible .

Is it possible for a sim kid to be abducted by aliens? (On Sims 2) Is it possible for a male sim child to be abducted by aliens? I left him searching for constellations at 3 in the morning (he has a logic skill of 8) but I only vaguely kept watch on him. Next thing I know his sim icon is gone and I have absolutely no idea where he is. I didn't save that specific game but I'd just like to know where he went.

An astronomical survey in two parts.....? This is legitimate, that's why I wanted it listed here and not in Polls and Surveys,where I'd get comedic answers and off-color comments. I'd like answers from professional and amateur astronomers, alike. I'll be using the information gleaned in helping young kids learn about the Night Sky. Everyone knows about using the pointer stars in the Big Dippers bowl to find Polaris, and most know about using the arc of the handle to find Arcturus and Spica. Over the years, I have invented a few ways of my own in locating stars and constellations by using common known star alignments for teaching purposes. Also, in years of stargazing, I've made up and named new constellations out of familiar star patterns. Ex: I think that Perseus, if looked at in the right way, looks like a Klingon Bird of Prey starship from Star Trek. Question #1: Do you have any original ways of guiding novices to a certain star, constellation or asterism? Question #2: Have you made up your own constellations or asterisms that could relate to kids and young adults? Sorry. After reading the above, it' comes off way to harsh. I've asked a question, and I get a lecture. What would a teenager relate to better, a configuration that he can relate to, or something you and I don't even see that's been handed down by the ancients. Perseus sure looks like a Greek guy with a sword carrying Medusas head to me. As to locater tools, one of mine is to use the line passing through the two pointer stars in the dipper PLUS using another line passing through the other two stars of the bowl, extending those lines to a place where they merge BELOW the bowl, and there you find Regulus. The second line that you formed can be extended above the bowl (just like for finding Polaris) and that line extends to the Summer Triangle, and close to Vega. These are the type of things I like to hear, not an Old-school slap down about how I'm doing it all wrong. I used the "bird of prey" as an example of what I want from answerers. I've never used it as a teaxching tool, it's my personal little inside joke. What I meant was do you see patterns in common constellations that would be easier for kids to see? Like the big dipper isn't a constellation, but it's easy to recognize because of its shape. On a tougher scale, Colinder 399 is known as the Coat hanger, because that's exactly what it looks like. I need more examples like these. Again, sorry for my previous outburst.

I'm looking for a good pair of binoculars...? I am very very interested in constellations and planets, and I'm sleeping over at my best friend's house, out in the country, this Monday. Now that it's March, it's a good time to find Leo the Lion, which I am dying to see. Another thing I want to see is the planet Saturn. I read in a book from my library that with a good pair of binoculars you can see its rings. Well my brothers & dad & I went to Target today and looked at binoculars while we were at it. We found some but they were meant for observations in the woods and things like that. We also looked at a smaller pair in the National Geographic kids' section which said it was for any outdoor adventure. Do these include stargazing? I don't know what size would work for me. I know what the numbers mean, maybe 8X60? I have a telescope at home but it makes stars look like the moon. I don't want that. Does anyone have information? I would appreciate it. What I mean is, I'm looking for a pair I can by at the Target near me. Please, simply tell me if field binoculars will do the same for stargazing, and what size is best. Thanks!!

i need help with rhyming.. anyone? i need to do this paper on constellations and the teacher wants five year olds to be attracted to this and want to read my paper. it's more of a drawing on a sheet of paper with a couple of words so that little kids are able to understand ''constellations'' so far i've got: some constellations are named for real or imaginary animals, while others are named for ancient gods or heroes sometimes parts of constellations have their own name and are well know (that's where i want it to rhyme) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ second part: not all stars in a constellation have the same distance from where we are they may seem like they are all together an the same place but in reality some stars are distant and some are nearby.. i want it to rhyme there too ^ ^ ^ ^ any cool suggestion anything is greatly appreaciatted!!! thanksssssssssssssssss!!!!

What's your opinion on this bedroom set? I went to an ashley furniture store today and saw some bedroom sets. My biggest problem is I have a full bed and the only sets with full beds are mostly for kids. So this one is great because you can convert from full to queen. What do you think of it? Too flashy? Pretty? :) thanks! http://www.furniturexo.com/Constellations-Panel-Headboard-Bedroom-Set-Signature-Design-B104-HB-BR-SET-p-38135.html

Would you go under the knife or laser? I was always one of those people when I was younger and said that plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery should only be done if a person was disfigured by an accident (fire, birth defect, etc.) until I got older and had 4 kids. I'm almost 36 and have fair skin that burns easily and everything shows up! I have a tiny constellation of moles on my right arm, some on my face, stomach and shoulders, I also have one little age/brown spot on my face and would love to have them ALL removed? If money wasn't the problem I would do it. I did a search and found a place in NY (too far away tho) that would cost $900. for one laser treatment area. My question is if you have had laser treatment for spots, moles or freckles and what they did for you and if you had good results? Some day I may get the nerve up to do a tummy tuck if anyone had an experience from that surgery, I would like to know how long the surgery was for you and recovery time? (I had gone through 2 c-sections before.)

What do you think of my story so far..? It needs further editing, but I would like to know what you think about it in general. This was one of the last time I would see Macy for a while and Trevor was hitting on me. Trevor, Macy's boyfriend, was telling me how good my legs looked in my black miniskirt. "Bite me," I told him when he placed his hand on my leg. Thank goodness Macy was on the dancefloor dancing with Darcy. "I think I will take you up on that offer, Beth," he said, slipping his hand up a bit further. He leaned forward and I got a big hiff of his whiskey laced breathe. I shuddered, slid out of the booth, and weaved my way through the dancefloor to Macy and Darcy. "I'm gunna step outside," I told them. "Huh?" Macy asked over the loud music. "I said," I yelled, "I'm gunna go outside." Macy gave me a thumbs up and I scurried to the door. I showed the bouncer my stamp and he let me out the door. Outside, there was a long line to get in. A few of the kids in line I recognized as freshmen. Like they were going to get in. The bouncer barely believed my fake I.D. that stated I was 21. I took a deep breath of the crisp New York air and stepped into the ally. It was empty accept a few kids on the other side, huddled in a group. I leaned against the club's brick wall and closed my eyes. I couldn't believe that high school was almost over. Two weeks left. But what was worse, Macy was moving to Wisconsin to live with her mom in two days. I would have to spend all summer without her. At least we were going to the same college in the fall. I opened my eyes and looked down at the group of kids. They were all stairing at me and whispering. I pulled a cigarette out of my pocket and they huddeled back into a tight group. I lit it and looked up at the sky. The stars were beautiful. They always seem to sparkle when I look at them. I know all the constellations. And that's what I want to do with my life. I want to be an astronomer. Throwing the cigarette on the gound, I looked back over at the group of kids, who were all stairing at me again with their peircing black eyes. I could feel their hate. One of the guys began to walk over to me, followed by the rest of the group. "What's your name?" the guy asked. I hesitated for a moment, then answered, "Beth McQueen. Why?" "Do you deny being daughter of Thanatos?" he asked. He looked very serious and his eyes took a new shade of black. "W-what?" I stuttered, "I'm the daughter of Molly and Paul McQueen." The guy looked over his shoulder at the rest of his group. "Are you sure?" he asked, looking back at me. His whole group was stairing at me with disappointment. "I don't know a Thanatos. Sorry," I replied. The guy took a step forward, but then his eyes looked past me and bugged out. He backed away and him and his group walked out of the ally. I turned around to see what scared him off. At the entrance of the ally was a little bit bigger group of teens. I don't know why those other kids were scared of them. They all looked so nice and, specifically, beautiful. Every single one was insanely beautiful. One of the older girls stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?" "Yeah. I'm fine. Scared out of my witts, but fine." The girl laughed. "I'm sorry about those guys. They're stupid." "Yeah, they are. Hi, I'm Beth," I told her. She gave me a warm smile, "I'm Caesarea, but everyone calls me Cae." She stuck her hand out. Awakwardly, I shook it. "So, you don't know who Thanatos is?" she asked, the mood shifting. I shook my head. "They might not have told her. She could be it," one of the guys in the group told Cae. "Yes, she does have a strong aurora," Cae replied. "Would you like to go somewhere with us?" She asked me. "Um," I answered inteligently. "I'm kinda with my friend at the club." Cae gave me a pleading look and I felt a strange tug in my stomach followed by anger. "Please? It's important." I suppressed my anger. "Where would we go?" "My house," she answered, giving me the pleading look, followed by the tug and more minor anger. "Just for a minute," she added. "Sure," I told her automatically, and somewhat robotically. "But I have to tell my friend I have to leave." Cae grinned, "Great! We'll wait here." I walked to the other side of the ally, pulled out my cell and dialed Macy's number. It rang, and rang, and rang. She never picked up. I called again. Voicemail. I called again and got voicemail, again. Finally, I gave up and walked back over to Cae. "Ready?" she asked. "Yeah," I answered, "I'm ready." Cae unlocked her front door and stepped in. "The living room's that way, I'll be in there in a moment." We followed the direction of her point. Her living room was really big. The walls were a deep red and there was a mural painted on the ceiling. She had a very expensive looking couch and I didn't go any where near their statue. One of the guys turned their flatscreen onto ESPN. There seemed to be about twenty people in her living room, more than it look *looked like in the ally. "Okay," Cae announced, walking in, "we are going to do the fruit test." Cae walked to me with an apple in her hand and held it infront of me. "Beth, I want you to rot this apple." I laughed. "How?" "Focus on the apple," is all she told me. This is strange, but I felt like I had to do it. I closed my eyes and thought about the apple. It wasn't heavy. The skin was light green with a little bit of bruising. The stem was brown and short. Why was Cae having me do this? I sighed and began to go over the apple again. "Focus," she said once again. I tried a different approach. I immagined the apple brown, deteriorated, and gross. I watched it rot in my mind many times. I concentrated on the apple until it felt like a part of me. I rotted it in my mind. When I opened my eyes, the apple was rotted. It was just like I imagined. Cae had a huge, satisfying grin on he face. "Finally," she said. "Finally." I looked around the room. Everyone had relief written on their beautiful face. I always thought I was pretty, but in the room with this many beautiful people, I looked like the ugly duckling. "Beth," Cae exclaimed, "you are daughter of Thanatos."

What are some fun projects to do with children on the topic of space? I am going to be doing 5, 1 hour lessons in an afterschool program with children from grades K-6. I chose the topic space because I figured it is something fun to learn about after the children come from a long day at school. I am however having trouble finding projects to do. I found one on making a rocket: http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/rockets ... and another was making a constellation using a shoe box and poking holes at one end for the constellation and putting a flashlight through a hole at the other so you can project it on a wall. Thanks for any help you can give me. I really enjoy doing creative projects buy my brain seems to have run out of ideas.

Why does the Sun now set in the North? It's June 12,2008 and where I live, in Southeast Washington State, the sun now sets in the NORTH, while it used to set in the WEST. It's not tracking as it used to at all, and neither is the moon. My wife and I have been watching these changes for about two years now, and MANY people we talk to around here are asking why this is happening. The only logical explanation is that the earth's tilt is shifting. I don't know what makes you actually believe that the governments of the world cannot stifle the news media, or are you really that naive? All they have to do is say that it is a matter of National Security, and it's done. If you honestly can't see the changes in the locations of the constellations, the sun track and the moon track, then please visit your vision expert. Wake up, kids, something big IS happening. We humans have never seen it happen before, so how do we know how it's supposed to look? I happen to think that a sudden rash of volcano eruptions and earthquakes is significant, especially when it is accompanied by a reported shift in the earth's axis. Has NOBODY ever heard of the HAB theory? Listen, stick your head in the sand if you want, it's perfectly OK with me, but when the sun starts to suddenly change what it's been doing since the day I was born, I pay attention.

How is my novel beginning? Argentum, The Forest of Silver. The home of immortals and constellations. Ruled by Orion, the great hunter. Guarded by Orion’s hunting dogs, Canus Major and Canus Minor. The story slowly came back to me. The story that my grandfather Connor told me when I was a kid, but soon enough I found myself thinking about my grandpa instead of the story. Grandfather Connor, I was his favorite grandson and he was my only family ,and now…he’s gone. A heart attack on February 12, 2010. Otherwise known as yesterday, the day before my birthday. Today is my fourteenth birthday and I have no one to celebrate with. Grandpa and I lived alone and now…I live alone. The people from child services haven’t came to get me yet, but they should be here any minute. I jumped into the shower to get ready, so that maybe when they put me in an adoption home, someone will take me. I felt the cold chill of air as I got out. My blonde hair looked black from being wet. My gray eyes were blurred from the steam that swirled around me. I brushed my hair and my teeth. I found a black t-shirt and gray pants to wear. Knowing I would still be going to school, I grabbed my book bag. Just incase, I filled a suit case with clothes. DING, the doorbell chimed. I grabbed my wallet and jacket as I walked toward the door. A big, muscular, black guy in a suit walked in when I answered the door. “Hello?” I said. “Hi, I’m Mr. Jameson, from child services,” the guy answered in a deep voice. “You must be Logan.” “Uh, yes sir.” Mr. Jameson took my bags and escorted me to his car. “So, where am I going?” I asked. “Down the road, to the orphanage.” he replied. I looked into the rearview mirror and saw that Mr. Jameson looked kind of sad. “I help out there a lot, so I should be good.” “That’s what Ms. Marks said.” “So you talked to her about me coming?” I asked curiously. “Yes, she is sad about Connor, but is thrilled that you will be staying with her.” Mr. Jameson said my grandfather’s name like he knew him. I sat there quietly until we pulled up to the orphanage. Mr. Jameson took me inside were Amy was sitting at table surrounded by little kids. “I will back in a second,” she told the kids. She walked over to us and shook hands with Mr. Jameson. “How are you Logan?” she asked. “I’ve been better.” Mr. Jameson walked back to his car. “I have something for you Logan.” he said as he took a brown leather chest out of his car trunk. “It’s from you grandfather. He wanted you to have it.” Mr. Jameson handed me the chest. I foot slipped back under the weight of it. “Let me help you with that.” Mr. Jameson said grabbing the other side. “You can put it in the back room, where Logan will be staying.” Amy said. We sat the chest in the corner of the room, beside my bed. “You can open it once I leave if you’d like.” Mr. Jameson said. “Yes sir.” I replied. Mr. Jameson walked out, shook Amy’s hand one last time, and left. How was it? Keep in mind that it is a rough draft.

Do you like Beatrix Niamah Giselle? Maybe not all of the names together, but do you like them seperately? 1. You are a starving broke artist living in the middle of nowhere, your name is Gwen and you are dating Adam. You own a very tiny gallery and are barely getting by. One day at work you feel sick, and find out it's cause you're pregnant! You decide to keep him. It is going to be a boy, his first name should be of an artist, middle name must be a color. 2. A month before your boy is born you get a break! An art agent sees your work and offers to move you and your family to New York! There you make a fortune off your new gallery. The baby is born and everything is going smoothly. Adam proposes, and you quickly elope. Describe the wedding, big or small, colors, cake etc. 3. You leave your son with a family friend and go to a rural countryside destination, it can be anywhere, where do you go? When you come back you are expecting twins! It is going to be two girls! You want one first name to be after a big city or crowded state (like NY, Paris), and one first name to be after a more rural area with less people (like Lousiana, or a city, country anything), boys middle name should be after your grandpa, girls after your grandma. 4. Your oldest 5 is, and the twins are 4. Your gallery is still thriving and gaining popularity. You start basing your art off different elements, during your sucess you find out you are expecting again. This time quads! You can't believe it! You want to base their names off the four elements. (Fire, Earth, Air, Water). They have to mean those things or have to do with them. Two girls and two boys, middle names anyhting you want. 5. 5 years later the oldest boy is 10, twins are 9 and quads are 5. With 7 kids you've definitely had your hands full but it's been fun! You started designing clothes now and thats also been a sucess. But you accidentally wind up preganant again! Just one this time thank goodness, a girl. Her first name is after a fashion designer middle name after a fabric. This part is optional: 6. Oldest boy- He's become an astronomer, he is married with a boy and girl both named after constellations, what are their name ( you can just do first names) Twin named after city: Of course this one has ended up a city boy/girl. They become architects and love designing sky scrapers. They are married with one son named after a famous building. Twin named after country: Married but no kids yet, they've bought a male horse and a cow, what did they name them? Quad boy 1- What does he do for a living? He has two girls, name them anything you want. Quad boy 2- Has become a professional athlete in the sport of ______. He has one daughter, she is named after an athlete what is it? Quad girl 3: She has become a florist and is married with 3 girls all named after flowers. Whats their names? Quad girl 4: She is studying to become a _________ and she has a serious boyfriend named___________. Hope you had fun!

What are the lamps that project stars/beams of light called? I really want to know where I can get this type of lamp, and what it's called. Any thing like this, or one that projects constellations or some thing like that. I'm NOT looking for some thing that's for little kids. I mustmustmust have one! here's the example of what i'm talking about: http://18.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqm2s7eoEB1qzgq8co1_500.jpg Yeah, nothing that looks like a big black ball on stilts. Also, I'm not looking for one of those REALLY fancy ones. I just want to put it in my room as a night light. I would really like a glass one.

what do my 3 dreams and my 'vision' mean? I am going to make this short by just not including detail, but first.... i'm my dream's and my 'vision' I found that 'he' always wore a black T-shirt and sort-of-baggy jeans. He has dark blue eyes, black shaggy-if-you-would-like-to-call-it-that hair and a perfectly curved face.. teehee :D. looks about 13-ish. Im my first dream, well I think it was because i heard a story earilier that day, it was like these 2 vampire kids came and did it to you. I practically had that story as a dream, but with only one guy, and instead of how in the story how they ate the girl in the story, he just kissed me...... In my second dream I was in my bed asleep, when he came and grabbed my hand. He then pulled me out the window and we ended up on a hill in this beautiful hill. when we came there, I said how the stars are beautiful then he said (well not really said, beacause I didn't hear a voice..) "they are okay, but are nothing compared to you." then we just layed under the stars watching all the constellations he could pick out from the sky. (if you ask that was my favorite dream) in my third dream... we (me and my best friend monica) went to hudson middle school. (thats where we are going next year) and we ran into him and a dude i have never met before. he said "hi," then smiled at me . I bet my whole face was red!!!! it was burning like crazy! But i still smiled back! then after words they left i puled monica and said how he was teh guy in my dream (you see I told her about teh first, but not the second). then and this is super creepy... since im catholic I prayed a dacade of the rosary, then right before I went to sleep, I couldn't find my stuffed animal 'kitty' (okay dont ask ) and it was weird because I could FEEL him. I could FEEL him almost see him in my bed he was just laying there by the time i layed down and was falling asleep, he was just there watching me go to sleep... with eyes that practically said " I am seeing the most beautiful thing ever".... and in the mrning he was already up just standing by the bed practically saying good morning! I even felt him through all the day in schooL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i dont think i just dreamed this for no reason becauase I did feel him, and even I dreamed of him 3 times!!!!!! so whats this mean?

what do my dreams and my weird visions mean? o.k.... a little info on 'him' in my dream's and my 'vision' I found that 'he' always wore a black T-shirt and sort-of-baggy jeans. He has dark blue eyes, black shaggy-if-you-would-like-to-call-it-that hair and a perfectly curved face.. . looks about 13-ish. Im my first dream, well I think it was because i heard a story earilier that day, it was like these 2 vampire kids came and did it to you. I practically had that story as a dream, but with only one guy, and instead of how in the story how they ate the girl in the story, he just kissed me, on and on.... In my second dream I was in my bed asleep, when he came and grabbed my hand. He then pulled me out the window and we ended up on a hill in this beautiful hill. when we came there, I said how the stars are beautiful then he said (well not really said, beacause I didn't hear a voice..)

But i still smiled back! then afterwards they left i puled monica and said how he was the guy in my dream (you see I told her about the first, but not the second). then I had this weird daydream.. it was like I was asking for sex from him.. but i did it by well undoing his shirt..... first he looked confused then when he understood... he said (in his not-really-a-voice-since-i-didn't-hear-anything-voice) "wait! we're not ready! I mean I am not ready.." after that i convinced him he did it only for about a minute then, he said "no I can't do it." then after that i pulled him in a close french kiss..... then poof it ended. then this happened.... since im catholic I prayed a dacade of the rosary, then right before I went to sleep, I couldn't find my stuffed animal 'kitty' (okay dont ask ) and it was weird because I could start to FEEL him. I could FEEL him almost see him in my bed he was just laying there by the time i layed down and was falling asleep, he was just there watching me go to sleep he had his arm around me too..... and had eyes that practically said " I am seeing the most beautiful thing ever".... and in the morning he was already up just standing by the bed practically saying good morning! I even felt him through all the day in school.. just sort of following me... closely... now this is all new to me, especially since I have never even had my first kiss.. but why does he show up so often? I just know that this is nothing...

First chapter comments? Would you read more of this spiritual sci romance future channeling...? “We have society! Pinching myself. Yesterday - they were primates. Grooming parasites, eating reeds. Today they’re driving! Just fifty thousand orbits!? How could they evolve so quickly? I need to know. We looked for the link but nothing yet. Possible I missed something, but what? Jim’s going over the logs, maybe he’ll find it. Mind’s a blur - thoughts won’t stop - could go on all night, need to rest. Hope I can. Wish Rose could have seen this.” - From p. 66 of Webster’s journal. Chapter 1 - The Concept It was late winter. My legs labored to turn the pedals on my bicycle as the frigid air bit into my cheeks and knuckles. I cursed myself for leaving my hat and gloves at the bar the night before. I rode slowly, steering with one hand while warming the other in my pocket until frostbite forced a switch. It didn’t matter how cold it was. I needed the work. My stomach reminded me that it needed food, real food. It was tired of stale crackers and cheap beer. I rode on through the frost. I rode my bicycle everywhere. I even fashioned leather saddlebags over the front and rear tires to carry my essential tools. I was the only carpenter I knew without a truck. Yet with two bags of basic tools, I could accomplish almost any job. From that, I felt some pride. I pedaled quickly past a busy construction site and endured the jeers from workers dressed in expensive coveralls, laughing at me as they leaned against new trucks, sipping their hot drinks. The aroma of fine coffee made my stomach grumble. I thought of my situation and felt a bit angry. I wondered if I was a loser. Success meant having things like a good job, a wife, a home, kids and pets. I was over thirty and had none of those. I didn’t even own a car. But I took pride in limited needs and thought the world would be a better place if more people were like me, common and somewhat content. T-shirts and jeans filled the closet in my apartment, and I liked it that way. Certainly I wasn’t a success. Was I a loser, though? That was a good question. The thought was going through my mind as I pulled up, hungry and half-frozen, to his driveway for my first meeting with Webster Adams. Adams hired me as a handyman. He got my name from his neighbor, an elderly woman who had employed me in the past. He came out to meet me in the driveway, walking quickly in the brisk air, wearing a collar shirt and slacks. He was taller than average and thin. He appeared to be in his late fifties. His hair was black and wavy, mixed with streaks of gray. He had very blue eyes. Adams smiled awkwardly as he surveyed my bicycle. Then he stuck out his hand and shook mine. “Your hand is freezing,” he observed, gripping mine harder than I wanted, not sensing the pain of near frostbite that I was experiencing. I smiled and replied, “Pleasure to meet you, sir. I’m Jon Gruber.” “Interesting transportation, Mr. Gruber. Especially in this weather.” His look was one of admiration and concern. I suspected he was deciding whether he had made a mistake in hiring me. “Gets me from point A to B,” I said, disconnecting the front leather bag. I slung it over my shoulder, hoping to instill some confidence in Adams. He led me into his house. The entry had a cathedral ceiling with stained glass windows that filled the downstairs with an array of colors, like walking through a rainbow. The wooden floor was finely polished. My footsteps echoed softly as I followed him down the hallway. “Should I take off my shoes?” I asked. Adams shook his head no. On the walls hung dozens of photos of the happy family: man, wife and pretty daughter. The girl instantly caught my eye. Auburn hair, easy smile, fit and smart. She had the girl next door look that I was naturally attracted to. The stairwell was filled with astronomical works of art, paintings of planets, nebulas and constellations. Things I knew nothing about. Adams paused briefly on the stairs as he passed the largest of the paintings, a planet with a purple body and half-finished blue rings around it. It was a lovely piece of work, though I wondered why it was unfinished. He stared at it for a moment, then continued up. The top floor was immaculate, with marble counters, leather couches and a plush carpet that led to a stone hearth and fireplace, where a small fire crackled. I looked around at the trophies of a successful man and wondered if I would ever have those things. “I want to tear down this wall that separates the kitchen from the great room,” Adams explained. “The idea is to make it one big space.” “I can do that.” “Everything?” “Yeah.” “How would you get the materials here?” “Delivery.” “What would you recommend?” he asked. I imagined the finished product and said, “I’ll rip out the wallboard and the studs to here, then frame a bar that stretches toward the middle. Then I’ll rewire the electrical, texture, paint and whatnot.” He ended by saying, “I want it to be done well, Jon.” I answered with a promise that n

Most popular star names for people? Some people name their kids after stars (not celebs) and I though that would be cool. I'm just asking an opinion. What star/constellation names do you think would be cool? (Ex. In in the Harry Potter series, there's Sirius, Andromeda, Regulus.)

Thoughts on these names? Long story short, this is a story from the point of view of animals, so no worries- I don't plan on giving my kids these names! The names are actually all constellation or star names as a common theme. They include mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, hamsters, a robin, and a raven. Do you like the names- for animals in a book, anyway? What sort of... erm, animal, do you picture, personality-wise or appearance-wise? F is for female, M for male. Mice: Kitalpha (Kata)- F Kraz- M Lyra- F Navi- F Furud- M Crux- M Indus- M Bellatrix- F, hamster Castor & Pollux- twin male rats Alniyat- F, rabbit Haedi- F, robin Lesath- M, raven Skat- M, guinea pig Carina- F, guinea pig Propus- M, guinea pig Thanks! Teased? Erm... did you read what I said? As for the Bellatrix thing, I did consider that- but this character is so different, I don't think it'll be a problem. My character is extremely timid, almost the the point of being annoying... she has a very good heart, but she's so timid that she can rarely act on it. She's a good friend of the main character, Kata.

What should I say for my Astronomy project? So my teacher is making us orally present our astronomy project and my topic was the Pegasus Constellation. she never specified what we were supposed to present about, some kids got it easy and are able to give background info on Astronomers. I asked her what topics I should discuss and all she says is "your Pegasus Constellation" but....I don't know what to say. I can't just say "This is the Pegasus Constellation, look at it!" so what do y'all think i should go over? i have to be up there for about a minute or two.

Can you add anymore to this? imagine your self sitting on a soft blanket out in a lush feild. the black night sky is overflowing with tiny white lights known as stars. they twinkle and tease your eyes with the constellations they create. but out of the corner of your eye, you see a round fiery speck, known more commonly as a comet flying straight across the sky. its got a long tail and it seems to beg for a wish. you blink a couple of times, to make sure that your not insane. then its halfway gone. you try to think of a wish for superstition, in hopes it might come true. but its to late, the moment passed you by. "oh well", you think. its only a star streaming by right? "who was i kidding?". as the comet is orbiting to elsewhere, its got a problem of its own. . . This is a poem i read from a really cool person, do you think you could add more or is it just fine... I think its great tho

How is this part of my beginning? Dear Logan, My spear is a great possession of mine. I gave it to you for a reason. I need you to return it to Argentum, or as most people call it, The Forest of Silver. You might remember me telling you about Argentum when you were a little kid, but just incase you forgot, I will tell you again. Argentum is a forest where all the trees have silver leaves. The tree trunks are whatever color your Aurora is. When you touch the tree it will change to that color. Only immortals have Auroras. You are an immortal, I could tell when I first saw you. Being an immortal allows you to see Auroras around other people as well as your own. Now when you go to Argentum, you will be met there by your Spirit Animal. Mine was a deer. The silver furred, golden antlered stag. Your animal will turn into a weapon or another item that you must carry at all times in the mortal world. My stag was the spear. When your item gets to Argentum and you are not with it, it turns back into the animal and leaves forever. However, when you are alive, it will turn back into your animal until you need it to be your item again. The way you get to Argentum is by slashing your weapon, or by using your item. It will open a rip in the air and you have to jump in it and it will take you there. When you get there, don’t be scared when you see the giant dogs. They are Canus Major and Canus Minor, or the hunting dogs of the constellation Orion. Orion is the leader of Argentum some other constellations rule beside him. The hunting dogs should recognize the Aurora, but if they don’t just hold up my spear and they will let you in. Now, toward the middle of the forest there are cabins for immortals. They don’t look like much on the outside, but the inside is large. The constellations each have cabins that they sleep in. The cabins are prearranged do to the color of your Aurora. Now there are five cabins for five Aurora colors. The colors are blue, red, green, purple, and black. What should the Aurora colors stand for. I was thinking elements, but that is over done.

Would this make a good white elephant gift? It is an old Smithsonian solar system set that you paint the planets and hook them up on rods and they rotate around the sun. It also has a constellation dome thing that maps the star on your ceiling. I got it as a Christmas or birthday gift like ten years ago when I must have been eight or nine. It has never been opened until a couple a days ago when I found it in a closet and thought that I would check it out in side so everything should be good as new. It is meant for kids probably around eight to ten (why I got it at that age.) So is this something that you would try to get or would you go for a unopened one to see what you get? This is not a high budget white elephant gift exchange, it is with mostly high school students and a few college kids so nothing too expensive that might be gotten.

Do you like the name Bethany Nora Grace? I wouldnt do so many middle names but what do u think of it? 1. You're married to Brad, he has been wanting a son with u for years now u finally agree, but get pregnant with a girl. He is still happy but he wants the baby's first name to start with B, the middle name is after your grandma. 2. 2 years in Brad is still wanting that son, you are pregnant again but with twin girls! Still you're both happy, first names can't start with the same letter, middle names should be words that can sound good as names feel free to be crazy. 3. Your girls are 5 and 3 years old. Brad is now thinking about adopting until you find you are pregnant again, finally with a boy! His first name is Bradley, middle name must have a good meaning. 4. Brad still wants to go through the adoption so that Brad Jr. has a brother. You kids are now 7, 5, and 2. You adopt a 3 year old from a foster home named Ethan. You give him a middle name of a constellation. 5. Your girls are 10 and 8, your boys are 5 and 6. On your anniversary you find out you are expecting and a baby girl is due Valentines Day! Her first name should mean love or be meaningful, the middle name should have to do with Valentines Day somehow. What do you name her. 6. Your kids are all grown up now, what do they do for jobs and do u have grandchildren? Feel free 2 skip this if u wish.

Lenght of time for Light to travel from Abell 1835 to Earth? Abell 1835 in the Virgo constellation is one of the most distant galaxies ever observed. It was created when the Universe was merely 470 million years young, that is, barely 3 percent of its current age. Abell 1835 is 13,230 million light-years away or 77 billion trillion miles Light travels at 11.1 million miles per hour. So to travel from Abell 1835 to Earth would take 6,958,471,108,319,644 hours 289,936,296,179,985 days 794,346,016,931 years 794 Billion years!!!! What? Could some one tell me where I’m going wrong here. I’d want to be able to explain this to kids, so if you could tell me in kid language I’d be really grateful THANKS!!! Zeta thanks for your imput but 13.2B is the same as is 13,230 million Thanks Goblin Best answer and 10 points for you Cheers

Cut Jobs for early education? Obama's plan for NASA? http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/04/obamas_plan_for_nasa.html http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1100/1 http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2008/04/obama_would_pul.html http://io9.com/389634/will-barack-obama-destroy-the-us-space-program The early education plan will be paid for by delaying the NASA Constellation Program for five years, By the same logic, we should also suspend medical research grants and close down the National Institute of Health because we're not going to have physicians and biologists if we don't have kids who are able to read, write and compute. Is he crazy? You don't pull funds from space program to fund education or the jobs will not be there when the kids do get out of school.

Different names for different types? Please don't report this I've really spent time on this: 1. You and your husband Josh really want to have a big family. You are both settled in your jobs so you try and concieve. You concieve two beautiful twins! A boy and a girl! They are perfect and look almost magical with blonde hair, blue eyes and round faces. You name them after fairytale or children storybook characters (EG Alice and Hansel, Gretel and Jack) middle names should be long and elegant. 2. The twins are perfect, a year later you feel you want to expand your family, and give birth to a boy! He has black hair and forest green eyes, almost cat like. He even moves smoothly like a feline would. Give him the first name of a famous cat (EG Garfield), middle name after a breed of cat ( Siamese) 3. The three kids are happy and healthy, they get along great. 2 years later you concieve once again, you hope its multiples but it is just one, a girl! You are still excited. She is almost white blonde hair and grey eyes, glowing white skin. You think of her as your little star. Her first name is after a star or constellation, middle name is Norah because it means "light". 4. 2 boys, and 2 girls, it is the perfect family, you still want about 2 more since they are growing up so fast. You try again 5 years later, and you get not one, not two but three! Gorgeous triplets! 2 girls and one boy! One girl has red hair and blue eyes, the boy has brown hair and green eyes, so does the girl. The day they were born the weather was crazy, with all types of different things happening, rain, wind, snow. Their first names must be after types of weather (Hail, Snow, etc), Middle names anything you want. What do you call them? 5. 3 years later your second daughter is really wanting a horse of her own since she is an equestrian rider. You decide to move on a property with more land and space and eventually get a male horse. What color is he, what is his name? 6. Optional: Y ou can paste pictures of the kids, your house, and tell what they do for jobs and names of grandkids. Hope this was fun!

Critique story? Just made for fun, not seriously.? Fiction: I met him in Science. "Einstein sure had a brain," he said in what I thought was a German accent. "Yeah." "Bill Gates has a big one, too." "Yeah." "Stephen Hawking." "You really like Science, don't you?" "No, I just look up to those guys for their brains. The way they think, you know? I guess I just value intelligence," he smiled. "I'm not really the person to talk to then." "Oh, but you have Steve Urkle on your binder." "You're drooling," I pointed out. "Yeah, I'm just hungry. Cool binder, though." "Alex Pardee did that." "Yeah, I know the name. I'm an artist." "Me too. I don't know anyone else that comes to class so late with so many excuses and hasn't been marked absent." "Yeah, I like to paint. You should see my car." "You painted your car?" He smiled crookedly as the bell rang. "Well, I guess it's time for lunch." I was fixated on him the moment I entered the cafeteria. He sat there talking about rap music with his friends. Their mannerisms isolated them from the other kids in the school. The moment he caught me looking at him I felt my cheeks turn into flame at the intensity of his gaze. I saw a lot of myself in him. He had bags beneath his eyes that suggested some intense insomnia. Other than that, his face was a clawed as a homeless mans after a few bar fights. Stitches traced every outline of his pale, dry skin. He made Michael Jackson look tan. I bet a planet eons away spotted him in the sky and referred to him as their own constellation for the way he glowed. I remember rumors circulating around the school about a family that moved from the slums of Detroit. He asked if I wanted to hang out Saturday. I didn't see why not, so I accepted. I forgot I had to babysit that night and didn't answer the door. Not really. I called him. We were took our turns inquiring about each other casually, building up comfort, and exchanging jokes. By the end of the call, silence found it's way in. "Oh, are you still there?" "Sorry, you had me in stitches," he said, as the sound of static popping in the background distorted his voice. Did his stitches really break off? "I guess." "It was the card joke....the one about the spades" "Oh." "Can't say I like spades much," he mused, more to himself than anything. "Cool?" He showed up Saturday just as planned. It was the typical clunker from the 80's that had a dented door that most parents, despite popular teen movies where the teens have new cars, give their teens when they're learning to drive. The only thing about this car is that it was originally a bright neon green, but now it had red splatter paint all over it. It looked like something fat rolled up and died on it. I stared at his car and just asked, "Why?" "I thought it came out nice." "I don't think you did," I mumbled. "What was that?" "Hm?" His car stank. I thought it was rotting. "You got something in the back there dying?" I joked. "Probably just roadkill," he smiled. "So, the park, or the movies?" "I'll flip a coin. You call it." "Oh, I'm pretty satisfied with heads." We ended up on the swings at the park. After jumping off, we looked at the stars, and he said, "You know, I've really felt some amazing things the last few weeks with you." "Show me your tongue!" "What?!" "I want to see if the Razzles kicked in." "I'm not going to show you my tongue." He did anyway. "Yeah, you can put it back in now." It looked like stone. He took my hand and I thought stroking sandpaper would be softer. "Oh, yeah, sometimes the playground makes my hand crusty and red," he said, as he caught my expression. "Dry skin." "Mhm." We went back to the car both intoxicated by the evening's events. He was articulate, appreciated intelligence, was humble, and mature. He was everything I wanted in anyone. I was too dumbfounded by how amazing he was to really think or talk coherently. I stumbled opening the door for a few minutes. "Sorry, I'm so Razzle-Dazzled out," as I stalled opening the door. How do you do this again? "Do I Razzle you?" he said, as flashed a crooked smile. I thought he needed to visit the dentist, but I didn't say anything. He had a homeless man's smile too. His eyes were glowing. In the dark, he didn't look so scarred and tired as he did in the day. In fact, he was rather handsome, or maybe it was just my emotions warming up to him? As soon I climbed in, the music came on. "The Grateful Dead!" I exclaimed. "You like them?" "Yeah, they're not bad." "I like Buried Alive better." "Who else do you like?" "Burnt by the Sun, Burn the Priest, Bloodbath, Rob Zombie, Dropdead, Hollywood Undead, the Beatles. I'll admit Hannah Montanna is catchy." "Uh, lots of deads there, Brian." "Well, I guess Hannah Montanna is pale in comparison." "Yeah, I have the same middle name as the drummer in Bloodbath." "What's that? "Brian Zachary Omi? Brian Z. Omi? What do I call you?" "Just Brian is fine. What about you?" I told him my name. "What a night tonight is," he said, appreciating the full moon and the stars. "You mean was?" "Well, the night's only beginning for me. I'm pretty nocturnal," he pointed to the bags beneath his eyes. "I suppose it's nice. Sorry, I'm a bit of a deadbeat tonight." "Oh, I know how it is. I never felt more alive." We ended up pulling in front of my house earlier than planned. "Well, I guess this is it," I said. "See you tomorrow? Or tonight if you want..." he grinned. "Sure." "I wish I could take a part of you home," as he stared me in the eyes, or my eyebrows? My forehead? "Will my heart work?" "Sure does." "We should see a movie." "How about the Corpse Bride?" "We'll see." I went to get out. "By the way -," he called out, "I always liked you for your mind." I smiled and went inside. Brian Z. Omi was a stiff. Edit: Had to cut some parts out. He's a zombie.

So... Does he like me? I'm 13 if that makes a difference with anything... There's this kid named Cole that I see every Tuesday at a Venturing meeting. (Venturing is like Boy Scouts but co-ed; and in case you don't know what that means... boys AND girls...) He flirts a lot when we're not around other people (like when we go on camp outs and stuff...) like one night on a camp out, we were the only two still up and we were just standing outside of our tents looking up at the stars... I kept mentioning how cold I was and he said, "Here, let me see your hand..." He didn't hold it but kinda randomly he just like put mine against his for a bit. It seemed like he wanted to hold hands though. I really regret not doing that... It was also weird cuz we were just looking at the constellations and he was pointing one out to me and I couldn't see it. He walked up behind me, put his arms on my shoulders, and kinda moved me so he could point it out. It just seems like he does like me. If he does like me... any ideas on a good way to tell him I like him or ask him out? Thanks!

please please please help me? does he like me? So this guy im into, i'm really confused. Theres a group of about 8-9 of us that hang out, and this guy i met through my friend i'm really into. All of us have hung out about 4 times since halloween...i developed a crush on him and i'm confused if he's interested in me or not. A couple of examples are: we were watching paranormal activity and we were really close and my head was on his arm and he easily could have moved over, and i asked him if he was okay, and he said yes i'm fine, your totally fine. but then he kept sitting on top of the couch a couple of times because his 'neck' hurt. he called me one night and we talked on the phone for an hour and it wasn't ever awkward. after that night, he walked me to my car; just me and him, and he hugged me for a while, longer than a normal hug it felt like...we looked at the constellations and hugged again and i left. and he said he'd call me and stuff so it made me happy. my friend asked him one time when we first hung out what he thought about me. he said i was too "crazy" for him to handle; but my friend thinks its just an excuse because he wants to get to know me better. I'm extremely confused. Then my guy friends hung out and he brought me up randomly and said he sees me as a good friend...but i feel its different. i really do. keep in mind that this kid is crazy. he hinted at me when we first met that he wanted to meet new people and get a girlfriend. I've been thinking about just waiting and not rushing into things, but if hes not into me then why would he call me? Wouldn't he just ignore me if he didn't want me to get hints? I want to hang out with him alone just to see how it is. Help me, what do i do? Is he into me? thank you guys (: well i mean, he's kind of a flirt-not too much though. it just feels different than when he hugs/talks to other girls.

What CD is Atmosphere's 'Always Coming Back Home To You' on? I LOVE the song by Atmosphere 'Always Coming Back To You' and I know there is that song on Sevens Travels but it doesnt have this song with it.. Does anyone know where or what CD it is on? Here are the lyrics to the one I am talking about: To all my killers and my hundred dollar billers… To emo kids that got too many feelings… He held the register open while he counted her change I was next in line which meant I was invisible From where I stood I could see that the till was full He didn’t look the type to play superhero So I stepped forth and paid for my cigarettes Crept out the stores front door to chase a little breath Bangles in my head, shake the song off Another manic Monday night, its gonna be a long walk A car pulled up, a fixed up cutlass A woman and a child climbed out and left it running They went inside of the deli, placed an order With the extra dollar fifty bottled water cuz the daughters picky When they came out mommy gave me a glance That said man can love an angel but he’s got to take the chance Already knew the deal, I lit one up and walk So they got back in the oldsmobile, belted up, and took off Thug love on the corner by the walgreens Lookin at me like I’m just another square saltine As I get closer I notice that they showin each other sketches Out of their notebooks, reminded me of my old roots I walk pass with a nod and a reminisce Swear to god hip hop and comic books was my genesis Respect the life and the fashions of the children It’s the only culture I’ve got, exactly what we’ve been buildin All of a sudden I’m in front of some man No he’s a youngin but he’s got a gun in his hand He looks fifteen, he looks frantic, no he looks afraid Immediately apprehensive til I heard him say “Do you want this It’s not mine I promise I found it on my block in between a couple garages Didn’t wanna leave it for a child to stumble over I don’t even know how to hold it.” It was a thirty eight, the poor mans machete Held it in my hand, thinking damn man it’s heavier then expected, wedged it behind my belt buckle knowin that its evil, even thought that I could smell trouble the extra strength felt weak, but over there on the corner saw what I needed and proceeded to cross the street put the heat in the mail box to loose it figured that the post office knows whats best to do with it Mosey down the road thinkin’ bout the old I use to roam this zone with two feet of snow Right here, this use to be a record shop I’ve gotten love, I’ve gotten drunk, I’ve gotten beat up in that parking lot I’ve had my lake street pride for three decades These alleyways, and these streetlights have seen my best days Before I was a germ learnin how to misbehave, All the way to the grave, south side is my resting place Took a right on Lindale I’m getting near But then the road became empty and the people disappear’d The clowds ran away, opened up the sky And one by one I watched every constellation die And there I was frozen, standin in my backyard Face to face, eye to eye, starin at the last star I should’ve known, walked all the way home To find that she wasn’t here, I’m still all alone No matter where I am, no matter what I do I’m always coming back home to you They can leave me for dead they can take away my true I’m always coming back home to you Through the lies and the sins that ride the wind that blew I’m always coming back home to you As sure as the life in the garden that you grew I’m always coming back home to you No matter where I am, no matter what I do I’m always coming back home to you If only I had known what you already knew I’m always coming back home to you From the heaven I’ve had to the hell I been through I’m always coming back home to you I’m always coming back home to you It is on Seves Travels.. but not this one.. I dont know how to explain it because there are two songs.. On the song I downloaded its 'Always Come Back To You' and then "Shhh" is a hidden track.. but on my Sevens Travels its 'Shhh' but says its 'Always Come Back to You'..

I wrote a new song, critique? It's about this guy I hardly know, but there's something about him and i dont know what it is but i want it. You’ve got these eyes, and they’re just like ice And I think about them all the time, and the way they shine They keep me awake at night Wishing on stars, wherever you are You’re nothing like the other guys But I don’t know why, no I don’t know why You’re a lonely silhouette painted in a crimson sky Mixed with blue, the blue in your eyes I don’t know what it is But I know you’ve got it kid And I feel this need for you And I cant stand it I guess, I’m a mess But what’s a girl to do When she cant have a guy like you? When she cant have Dylan. No one’s alone the way you are alone I want to know everything, you have to show Is a camera, the only love you’ve ever known Dylan tell me why, you’re so alone? Where is your head, where does it go When the rain’s pouring down and you’re at home Where is your heart, when you’re miles away In New York city at the end of May Do you miss the mid west When you’re on that plane Dylan why are you so far away? I don’t know what it is But god, I want it And I feel this need for you And I cant stand it I guess, I’m a mess But what’s a girl to do When she cant have a guy like you? When she cant have Dylan. She’ll write a stupid song hoping you Will someday sing along Dylan do you like long drives On sunny days and dark blue nights? Dylan do you like girls, with big brown eyes Who can’t keep her balance half the time? Do you lie awake at night Wishing on constellations and stars Wishing I was yours? Probably not, but that’s alright I’ve gotten used to hearing you’ll never be mine. Tell me does Time’s Square Smell like the good kind of air? Does it shine all night? Does it compare to your eyes? Well I guess, maybe I’m a mess But what do I do When I cant have him? When I cant have Dylan yes his name really is dylan.

Is President Obama willing to increase NASA's budget? Is he a "space president"? The President always talks about how it's important that we get kids interested in science so they can perceive science as being cool (which it is, and the coolest branch of science I think many would agree is Astronomy and Space exploration), how the country that has the best educated young men and women will lead the world in the 21st century, etc. So he's definitely pro-science and he's maybe the first truly modern/tech President and he's pro discovery, etc. But at the same time it seems to me he's not really willing to give NASA the money they really need. Moreover, not only does he seem to be supporting the trend that sees NASA's budget cut almost every consecutive year, but it looks like he's considering making even more significant cuts now that he's appointed a special board to "evaluate" (code word for find out what we can cut) the goals of Project Constellation, which is our only hope for a return to the Moon in the near future and a reset of the spirit of space exploration. I am and always have been a big supporter of the president, but on this single issue which is important to me (although the vast majority of Americans couldn't care less about what doesn't directly concern their immediate needs and entertainment) I definitely feel some disappointment. President Kennedy's view of space exploration changed NASA, changed America and the world, and he was our only true space president so to speak. President Obama needs to stop letting everybody push him around and start making some significant history. I don't understand - we spend a billion dollars every 3-4 days in Iraq and that's no big deal while with an extra 10 billion a YEAR NASA can once again be the NASA that sent people to the Moon and more... *Sigh* ...

If he does like me... any ideas on a good way to tell him I like him or ask him out? Thanks!

How can stars influence you? This is something that has always baffled me about astrology. How does the apparent position of arbitrarily defined patterns of stars relative to the current position of Earth in it's orbit have an effect on humans? It has to be transmitted somehow and received somehow. It can't be gravity, the effect of stars so far away is negligible, it's drowned out by the Earth. It can't be low energy EM radiation (light), kids are born inside these days. It can't be high energy EM radiation, gamma ray bursts aren't nearly frequent enough to sync with every birth. It can't be particle streams, we're protected by the heliosheath. It can't be the nuclear interactions, we're well and truly too far for that. And it can't be neutrinos or WIMPs. They pass through the Earth, so it'd be impossible to isolate each constellation from the other. Does anyone have an intelligent hypothesis? Sona, that's not what I asked. What I asked is HOW? Black Roses, an interesting idea, but we know that genes do no fluctuate or mutate in the womb, they are simply the sum of the 46 chromosomes in the sperm and ovum, set in stone from the moment of conception. This is how we can test unborn foetus' for genetic predispositions and disorders. Deal. I'm so confident that I'll agree to your unwinnable bet since, by it's very definition, you can simply wait forever and not lose. KitKat, firstly the moon isn't a small planet, it's a natural satellite (although, given it's disproportionate size to the Earth, it could almost be called a binary planet system, but we'll stick with tradition). Next, your theory is fundamentally flawed, as astrology claims that the star signs are on a 12 month repeating cycle (necessary if you intend to use constellations as markers). Our solar system does not operate on a 12 month cycle. Consider, for example, that Mercury makes one orbit of the Sun every 87 days, whilse Uranus takes over 30,000. You cannot create a 12 month repeating cycle from this system. Next and most importantly, magnetism is most certainly NOT "the result of gravity". In fact, the irreconcilability of these two fundamental interactions is one of the biggest problems in modern theoretical physics. Even if any of this were true, the Earth's magnetic field is incredibly weak, and doesn't have an effect on the brain. The computer I'm sitting in front of right now has a stronger (albeit more localised) EM field than the Earth. Namaste? QED. Black roses, astronomy has never been considered a pseudoscience. And astrology will never be considered a real science. As for bothering my brain? That would be so boring. I'm a physicist, I don't know how to shut my brain down. Aspicco, that's even crazier. You say that the stars/planets are related to people's personalities like a clock is to the time. That is to say, simply an indicator, whilst we still have free will? So, if I make a decision to say, get in a fight, my astrological planets will indicate this? Are you seriously telling me that I can move Jupiter with my mind??? Sparrowbird, it shouldn't be hard to see why I rejected the clock analogy. If astrology is true, then either the planets affect our actions/personalities or out actions/personalities affect the planets. The clock analogy suggests the latter and it is beyond absurd to suggest that mercury is moving around the sky because of what I'm doing. I know about dark energy and dark matter, and if you look closely, you'll see that I addressed it in my original question. Dark energy is not emitted by stars or planets, it is a fundamental component of spacetime, a "cosmological constant", with uniform density throughout the Universe. With uniform density and essentially maximum entropy, no data flow can take place, so dark energy could not possibly affect us in such a complex way as astrology would suggest. Dark matter, on the other hand, assuming the prevalent WIMP theory, would not affect by, as it is by definition weakly interacting. With a MACHO/RAMBO theory, we're back where we started. You're right about physics though. It doesn't have all the answers. Contrast however, with astrology, which doesn't have ANY answers. For all we don't know about physics, we know a hell of a lot. We know the building blocks, we know how it should work and we know how to test our predictions. Astrology has no basis in logic or evidence whatsoever. Hell, right here I've asked you to provide any reasonable theory to explain how it works and I've yet to get one.

Baby names...Im getting stuck on a girls middle name.? Pierce Allan for a boy...that is pretty much set in stone. The girls middle name on the other hand has not been so easy. Here are a few ideas we've had. Luna Leanore <~ great grandmothers middle name Luna Sunflower...he he he I like sunflower is that mean to name a kid? Luna Jade Luna Olivia Luna Leigh Luna Ursa....its a constellation and the Last name starts with V so her initials would be L.U.V. :) So which if any do you like? If not what do you think is better? I'm not totally stuck on the name Luna either but I am rather fond! Any ideas? Luna Estrella good Idea. Hope it helps to know the baby is half Puerto Rican. So a Spanish middle name might be a great Idea.

Sailing in space on a current? Question: Has anyone seen or read any published proposals for either a draft or plan to build a spaceship with alternate propulsion (planned beyond 2030 or 2040)? Does anyone have an opinion to Electromagnetic acceleration? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliosphere http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_... When I was a kid, I wondered if a spacecraft could be propelled by a solar drift, similar to how a piece of tissue paper or ash rises under a match. Has either Voyager I or II determined the direction the interstellar wind (from which constellation are we moving from and to which constellation are we headed)? If so, could the wake (or bow shock) of the terminal shock propel or accelerate a spacecraft along a right angle (like a dolphin)? It would seem logical to release or skip a small planetary satellite as a test for the effect?

Why are images blurry or out of focus with my telescope? I have a Newtonian Reflector NGAZ76 telescope that i purchased for 3 dollars at a yard sale. It came without any eyepiece and i had to use a 25mm originally from a refractor telescope. i also had to cover the edges of it in eletrical tape so it will fit. After finding saturn, which was difficult due to a shaky mount and uneasy movability in it(it would seem to recoil to origional position after adjusting and finding the planet), I noticed that it's not quite clear at all, just a light(black and white) looking sphere. I couldn't make out any rings. I do let the telescope sit outside to adjust to hot summer temperature. Looking at mars is even less impressive, just a dim sphere in the sky(no color at all)-thats the biggest problem i'm having, COLOR! I cleaned the eyepiece with a q-tip, and even unscrewed the back mirror and cleaned that(even though it was already virtually spotless). another problem i have is the design seems to place a 3-legged spider design that obstructs the center of the image(because of center mirror). This is my first real use of a telescope-others I had as a kid)-how much would I benefit from using a better eyepiece that I dont have to jerry-rig to fit. I want crystal clear views of saturn and mars(as well as its rings). if so, what eyepiece would you reccomend? I'm thinking of switching to a 4mm. p.s. I am viewing from a suburban neighborhood with a fair amount of light polution but not bad. I can see the big dipper no problem, the constellation of virgo, leo, and cancer are difficult to make out. Keep in mind I have a very limited budget. Realligning the telescope is out of the question for now. The mount has a broken piece(one of legs is disattached and goes where it wants) i will fix that with epoxy later. Is it the mount thats the major problem? The focuser on it works just fine.

What are some fun projects to do with children on the topic of space? I am going to be doing 5, 1 hour lessons in an afterschool program with children from grades K-6. I chose the topic space because I figured it is something fun to learn about after the children come from a long day at school. I am however having trouble finding projects to do. I found one on making a rocket: http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/rocke... and another was making a constellation using a shoe box and poking holes at one end for the constellation and putting a flashlight through a hole at the other so you can project it on a wall. Thanks for any help you can give me. I really enjoy doing creative projects buy my brain seems to have run out of ideas.

So... Does he like me? I'm 13 if that makes a difference with anything... There's this kid named Cole that I see every Tuesday at a Venturing meeting. (Venturing is like Boy Scouts but co-ed; and in case you don't know what that means... boys AND girls...) He flirts a lot when we're not around other people (like when we go on camp outs and stuff...) like one night on a camp out, we were the only two still up and we were just standing outside of our tents looking up at the stars... I kept mentioning how cold I was and he said, "Here, let me see your hand..." He didn't hold it but kinda randomly he just like put mine against his for a bit. It seemed like he wanted to hold hands though. I really regret not doing that... It was also weird cuz we were just looking at the constellations and he was pointing one out to me and I couldn't see it. He walked up behind me, put his arms on my shoulders, and kinda moved me so he could point it out. It just seems like he does like me. If he does like me... any ideas on a good way to tell him I like him or ask him out? Thanks!

What are "The Kids" in relation to astronomy and where are they located on a constellation map?

Need help entertaining kids? I babysit these three kids often one girl is 13, the boy is 9, and the other girl is 6. My older sister, when she babysits them, takes them outside at night to look at constellations. But I know nothing about that stuff. I need something like that to entertain all three kids at once and keep them interested. Any suggestions?

What do you think of my kids names? Jasmine Sophia Orion Thyme Ayden Reed (and I pronounce it like the constellation =))

10pm EST, Northern Hemisphere (Canada): look up at the sky. Is it a star or a planet, and which one? About 10pm EST, there is a very bright star next to the moon (lower-right of the moon). I was showing my kids the constellations last night, and I thought the 'star' might be Jupiter, but I didn't know how bright it could get or even if it is visible from earth. I am in an urban area, and the 'star' was still clear and bright. (43° N)

Do you know this children's chapter book about bears and constellations? It's a book I read about ten years ago. All I remember is that there was a family of bears, or maybe just a mother and a baby bear, who (I think) were living in an apartment. I don't remember any part of the plot, except that in the end it turns out that the bears were really the Big Dipper and Little Dipper. I want to say that one of them had the name Ursa or Ursula. And maybe there was a kid who becomes friends with them? And I have a feeling that an elevator in the apartment was mentioned, if there even was an apartment? Okay, talk about vague. Summary: Children's chapter book, published at least ten years ago, about bears that are really the Big Dipper and Little Dipper. Sound familiar? It's not a picture book, it's a chapter book, maybe 3rd-5th grade reading level. Not Good Night, Moon or the books in that link, but thank you for trying. Yes, I meant Ursa Major and Minor. Sorry 'bout that. That one sounds cool, but it's not the one I'm looking for. The book I'm thinking of is more "realistic," and I don't think the people in the apartment (if it exists) knew they were bears. And I have this stupid feeling that it was called "The Bears Upstairs" but it sounds so dumb :) I'm almost sure that's not the title! If this at all helps, I very vaguely remember the cover. There's a bear wearing a long coat, maybe a hat, and holding a briefcase or luggage or something, and walking down a flight of stairs. There's a boy (maybe) staring at him from the bottom of the stairs. Aside from the picture, the cover was yellow. Of course, this coming from the girl who kept searching for a book called "Bufo the Amazing Talking Frog" when it was actually called "Jennifer Murdly's Toad." :P That's funny! But the one before it isn't it either :) Chapter book as in longer than a Junie B. Jones book, probably the length and reading level of The Castle in The Attic. . . if you've read it :) Everytime I search, something about the Soviet Union comes up! YES!! That's it! I can't believe it was actually called The Bears Upstairs! And that I mostly got the cover right! Wow, I should've just searched for that. . Thank you millions and millions of millions! You're my hero today ♥ Now, just wait a few more hours for your points, okay? :)

When I was a kid (1980's) I remember hearing about a star that died/disappeared from a major constellation Anyone know which one it could have been?

What is the name of an old game from when i was a kid? I cant remember? help!!? I remember that you went to this mansion or something like that, and tthere were robots, and to get in you had to play a memory game and then you could cook things and explore the different hemispheres and constellations and you had a robot friend. I just can't remember what the game was called? if anyone can remember that would be sweet! its an old pc game

This Is LONG but please help. Would you let him go, or is true love no matter what? Okay. This is QUITE a story, but I am going to try and put this in a nutshell. I need help. Early this summer I got a new job, my first "real" full-time job. I'm 19, and I worked with all guys. Immediately after starting, I had a crush on the 19 year old cutie upstairs, JD. And instantly clicked and developed a deep connection with a 30 year old coworker, Joey. I'd flirt with JD on a surface level, but my friendship with Joey grew stronger and deeper each day. We just understood each other, and even though outwardly we were complete and total opposites, no one could deny that we were always on the same wavelength. As a result, we talked about everything.....and began talking online every night for hours....just about work and life and our pasts and everything in between. One night about a month after I started, we were talking online while I was house-sitting for a friend who was out of town. It was almost midnight, and he said that he would wanted to come and see me. I was hesitant, but deep inside I really wanted to see him too, so I agreed. He drove down to where I was, and stayed till 3 am. It was one of those warm July nights with stars and fireflies.....we walked around the pasture and I introduced him to the horses. We both laid down on top the picnic table, right next to each other. We laid there talking and laughing and pointing out constellations. That night was like something from an old movie. I will never forget it, because right before he left, standing on the front porch steps, we kissed....my first.For 4 days (which is how long it took me to kiss him again), I could taste and smell that kiss and nothing else. I still wonder if that happens to everyone....After that first night we both knew that what we had was more than friendship, and it was very real. How could two people who who were so different in every other way be so much the same inside, and I began to realize that I needed him.Four days later we met again, this time in a quiet country cemetery close to home. Another fairytale summer night...past midnight....we laid in the grass and stared at the sky and talked until it began to rain and we spent the next 3 hours in his car.....and my second kiss went on and on until we had both run out of air.....I left that night with mixed emotions. I was in love with Joey, there was no denying it. And he was in love with me. Nothing about it made any sense. But it was real, and I knew that whatever it was.....I wanted to keep it forever.The mood at work changed for us, and while we tried to keep it invisible at work, people eventually began to catch on. We continued to see each other all summer, and it seemed like midnight was "our hour". We've done everything from watching movies to crazy shopping adventures at Walmart......to just laying on the couch in the dark talking. I have lost count of the times I have fallen asleep in his arms, just listening to him breathe, and feeling his heartbeat. Sometime during the last month of summer, I gave him the only thing I had left that wasn't already his. He was my first, and I wouldn't change that for the world.So here it is November. Everything in me loves this man with every fiber of my being, more every day. We are soulmates, we need each other. I know him inside and out, and he knows me too. He had pain and walls from his past and parts of him that he NEVER let anyone see or touch before I came along. The nights I have spent holding him while he cried and let each piece of his shattered heart fall to the ground and each and every day we are both working at picking up those pieces and putting them back together for the first time in his life. It's a healing process, and he would never have even seen a reason to try if it wasn't for me. There is a part of him that I have found, the "real" Joey that no one else has been able to rescue . . . and no one else ever will. I have never loved anyone like this before, (and I was in a two long relationships before him, and I thought I was in love then) Nothing like this. I would die for Joey right now and never think twice. He is my life. He is everything I ever could ask for.It all sounds perfect doesn't it? Like I should throw a happily ever after in there about now....So here is the trouble in paradise. When I met Joey, he was hanging onto a long-term relationship that was about to fall apart. He and his girlfriend Amy have 3 beautiful children, all under 10. I bonded very strongly to all of them early on, back when I first started working my new job. I have spent a LOT of time with them, babysitting them and taking them places. I would do anything for these kids, and love them like they're mine. They adore me as well....I walk on water to them.At this point, everyone knows what's going on, except Amy. She knows at this point that we are very close friends, since Joey and I have alot of the same hobbies and we go to shows and conventions and specialty stores and stuff and even take the kids. Amy and Joey are s Okay this was too long, so for the last 3rd of the story, see the question labeled "True Love part 2" Thank you SO much.

Why some people don't believe in Aliens? I hope I don't get reported and my question get canceled like my other questions. Not based on modern footage of UFOs, which could be easily fake, like most of them nor photos from more than 100 years ago, when we didn't have computer to fake them, but from ancient history. Every culture in the world talks about "gods" that created man, but it is called a myth. Even in Peru you still find people imitating their gods by elongating their kids head to resemble their gods. You find ancient drawings and paintings depicting UFOs and humanoid beings that are not human as per their own story. The Nazca lines in Peru made more than 2 thousands years ago and can be only seen from high altitude. The Mayan calendar, the most accurate of all, made by people who built a pyramid than in the sumer solstice a shadow with snake like form enters the pyramid as their god. The pyramids of Egypt, made more than 4 thousand years ago, aligned with constellations in the sky and its complexity . In ancient rocks and caves you can see paintings of Perfect animals and humans, but when you see the "strange ones" they call it distorted or hallucinations. I live in NY, I go to the Museum of Natural History and there they have a painting, more than 5000 years old, with perfect human and animals the same sizes, but there is one of a giant humanoid which they said those were normal people that used to live around there. Even the Nazca lines in Peru depicts an humanoid figure with a space suit. Just read: forbidden archeology, technology of the gods, finger prints of the god books. Or go to the many websites like crystallink.com to see the overwhelming evidence of extraterrestrials...but why people keep denying it? I know that people will see things that are not there to support their believes(including me) but this proofs are undeniable yet give credit to ancient primates of things that we can't do today with our technology. Why?

why tropical zodiac is BS continued? im getting sick and tired of tropical astrologers saying the tropics are why the zodiac signs will never change. sure, when the sun hits the tropic of cancer it marks the summer solstice, but this doesnt make a person a cancer! precission of the equinox changed which constellation the sun is in at that time!!!! its actually right at gemini and taurus now!!! the tropics were named because when the sun hit there, the sun was in the constellation of the crab!!! the sun sign in your zodiac chart is built off of a three step process, and always have been. the contstelaion, the sun, and how they relate to the earth. but lets just ignore the constelation part!!!?!?!?@? are you kidding me??? look even if you dont buy into zodiac signs, or its just fun to know what you are, at least know the truth. tropical is BS!!! if you believe in the tropical zodiac, this is what you believe in. that random people gave random names to spots on the sun and earth. at one point they lined up with constellations in the sky, but lets just ignore that now. you believe that random, imagined lines on the earth and sun give you your personality. and btw ignore the constellations that gave these points there names and traits i mean seriously if this is what astrology has come to, its basically the same to say pic a random name, throw in some traits and line it up with the sun. O well that must be accurate!! not according to tropical astrology, i have 8th house capricorn. who knows what the reality is tho Sun in XII Moon in XII Mercury in XII Venus in XII Mars in XI Jupiter in IV Saturn in IX Uranus in VIII Neptune in VIII Pluto in VI Lilith in IX Asc node in VII

Your "Real Sign"? okay so i was online and i was reading this article that said that people have less then a one in seven chance of being their actual sun sign let alone any of their signs because the sun is in deferent constellations now then it was back a thousand years ago now my sign is a Pisces however according to this Capricorn - Jan 20 to Feb 16 Aquarius - Feb 16 to Mar 11 Pisces - Mar 11 to Apr 18 Aries - Apr 18 to May 13 Taurus - May 13 to Jun 21 Gemini - Jun 21 to Jul 20 Cancer - Jul 20 to Aug 10 Leo - Aug 10 to Sep 16 Virgo - Sep 16 to Oct 30 Libra - Oct 30 to Nov 23 Scorpius - Nov 23 to Nov 29 Ophiuchus - Nov 29 to Dec 17 Sagittarius - Dec 17 to Jan 20 i'm a Aquarius if you don't believe me look it up i swear i'm not kidding but my question is considering all this how can i now find my birth chart ???????? because before it was pretty easy but now how do i find it

Cassiopeia as a name? Just trying to get some feedback. What would you think if someone named their kid, Cassiopeia (cass-ee-o-pee-uh)? P.S. It's a constellation.

i'm only in my first trimester...? and my partner's mother is already criticizing me. Last night she asked my partner if we had thought of any names, and he told he that we both had agreed that if it was girl, we'd name her Lyra. She wrinkled her nose and said, "Oh, I don't like that." She wants us to name our child something more "normal"...a common name such as Amy or Beth. There's nothing WRONG with these names, but we chose the name Lyra because it's NOT common. It's the name of a constellation, and I think it's beautiful to name a girl after the stars! Ultimately, it's our baby and our choice what we name her, but mom-in-law really hurt my feelings. I've got another 6 months to deal with her trying to get us to name our kid something "common" when that's the last thing I want to do (my name is Jessica and I know how it is in school to be 1 of 10 with the same name). Even if it's a boy, he's not going to be John or Matt like she wants. How would you deal? What would you say next time she brought it up?
