If u were born under a wandering star,how far would u wander?

As far as the wandering star took me!

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

Depends on how fast your going.  It's 794 million miles away!  So divide that by how fast you want to go and you'll know.

It would be known as the Phraddorian World and orbits the star Ennea Naddoria.  It is located on the far side of the Milky Way galaxy approximately 63,000 light years from Earth.  They journey across the stars using a device called the Lahnshal Gateways, but for greater distance, they use great starships called Wave Riders.  \n\nAcross a vast stellar wasteland is another world called Sandahl Shore.  For the Phraddorians, this world would be a close approximation to Heaven.

such a waste of space if we were alone.\n\n if you could just imagine yourself looking on our milky way from another outside.. \n\nhow infitestimally small we truly are... we are nothing but dust on a small rock revolving a small star..

About 6 feet, which isn't an issue, unless you live at,near or below sea level. If you do, you should move anyway.

Not counting the sun, the closest star to earth is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.1 light years away from the earth. Light travels at 300 000 km/s so you can now use this to calculate the distant. 4.1 light years x 365 days per one light year x 12 months per 1 year x 30 days per one month, x 24 hours per one day x 60 minutes per one hour x 60 seconds per one minute = 4,654,713,600 seconds. Multiply this figure by 300 000 km/s and you get an answer of 1,396,414,080,000,000 Kilometers.

CLOSEST?? to the sun?\nThat would be Mercury....

Without a doubt. Seeing all those stars in the sky.. One of them somewhere has to hold some kind of life. But I don't believe they travel to earth. No ET is phoning home LOL

Well the simplest way has already been said... the sun rises in the east and sets in the west... so you can work out north from that.... \n\nBut as you mention the stars are we to assume you are trying to find direction at night?\n\nAgain there are many country ways - like the moss growing on trees and prevailing winds etc - but I personally wouldn't rely on this.\n\nSilly thought but if you have a map and can see any landmark or town lit up at night you can get your direction.

Use your imagination. Under the stars, in a swimming pool, camping there are 100's of places, it also depends on the risk you are willing to take of being discovered.Need more ideas e-mail me.

The closest star to the Earth is the actually Sun, at a distance of 8.3 light minutes (93 million miles), but I suppose you weren't asking about that. \n\nThe next closest star is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.3 light years away.

Probably find a ship graveyard.\n\nNo...for real...I don't think it is possible to reach the edge of the universe.\n\nPrint this out, then if it happens, you can say, "I told you so."  :)

The distances to stars closer than about 150 light years can be measured directly by use of parallax.  The position of the star against background stars is measured at times 1/2 year apart, and then it is a simple mathematical procedure to determine the distance (you have a side and two angles of a triangle--the angular distance the star appears to move at it's distance over 1/2 year equals 186 million miles-the diameter of the orbit of the earth).  \n\nStars farther than that cannot be measured directly.  But, by use of knowledge about how bright a star should be (on average) for it's spectral type (which loosely is governed by its mass) an estimate of its intrinsic brightness can be made, and then by looking at how bright it appears, it's distance can be estimated.\n\nCepheid variables are used, as well, but mostly to determine the distances to groups of stars and of other galaxies.  Incidentally, the North Star (Polaris, or Alpha Ursa Minor) is a cepheid variable.\n\nNovae and supernovae tend to have average intrinsic brightnesses, so their apparent brightness in, say, a distant galaxy, tells us (within limits) it's distance.\n\nRed shift is used for objects outside our galaxy because the amount of red shift within our galaxy would be extremely small (it increases with distance) if it were not totally overcome by the gravity of the galaxy.

I don't know but perhaps you can star an astronomy club. After all, many of our stars were named by your ancestors!

In outer space...       ... about 6 inches away from Uranus

duh, My goal in life is to be an astronaunt and I'd love to find aliens.
