Dear God,\n\nI am quite happy and contended, hope you are feeling the same even after creating we humans.\n\nI know a few billion cratures here on earth dont mean much to you because you have to take care of billion of solar systems and compared to your entire kingdon , we are not even a dot on your atlas but here i am representing a section of a species that you crafted and i would like to draw you attention to the fact that , its an emergency and we need your help. \nPlease do focus your attention at us for a while\n\nThank you God

I don't know yet. I have read it over, but not really studied it, and I am going to be watching a special about it tonight at 8pm EST on the National Geographic Channel. I do not make decisions about my faith until I know all the facts and have had ample time to think, pray, and do some soul searching. I suggest that any who are interested in gathering all the info necessary to make an informed decision watch the show and read the text.\n\n To the person above me still waiting for it's publication - you can read the text at the link below. Just click on the link, and to the right where it has the two download buttons, click the "download the entire English text as PDF."

I see it right now, just below the Centaurus next to Alpha Centauri. Try visiting Astronomy.com and click on star dome

I'm in Oklahoma and will be going out to see them.  The key is, will the constellation Leo be visible at 10:45?  If it is then we'll get to see the peak (about 2 per minute according to some articles)!  If it's not up in time, we should still get a show.

I was observing Alpha Orinis (Betelgeuse) through my telescope, and I saw something seem to fly towards it, then head the other direction. I don't know what it is. Thus it was unidentified. It was obviously flying, and I will assume its an object. There you go. A UFO. Therefore, anything that is in the air, and you dont know what it is, is a UFO.

I agree and this is one of the most difficult issues that I have been struggling with lately.  Our ancestors of 2000 years ago did not have the science nor the technology to explain everyday events.  "Oh my gosh!  That glowing ball is back!  It must be a god!"  So, they named him Helios.  I'm just so confused as to why the Bible is still the end all, be all authority.  We've obviously made leaps and bounds in our understanding of the earth, our solar system, our galaxy and our universe.  Ugh!  I'm just so confused and find it VERY hard to follow with blind faith.

A Planetary Nebula is a misleading name.  At the end of a lower mass star's life (for stars up to about 8 times the mass of the sun), the star puffs up, and loses the outer layers of gas surrounding it.  All this gas goes out into space where it can be seen as what we call a planetary nebula.\n\nOriginally the word "nebula" was applied to any astronomical object that was not a star or a memeber of our solar system (planets, asteroids etc), the word essentially means "cloud."\n\nAs telescopes got better people started to find many different types of nebulae. A Spiral Nebula looks like, well a spiral, today we know that these are spiral galaxies.  Planetary Nebula were named because the looked round, and a number of them had the same greenish color that Uranus had been seen to have by Hershel.

12:25 AM eastern daylight time july 3rd....Stay up late sunday night! With a little luck you may see it but they say unless you have a good telescope it probably wont be viewable....I have mine ready so if I get lucky we will send a pic!

I think maybe the separation is smaller than the resolving power of my eyes rather than the angular separation of my eyes. So I can't resolve the two sources and just see one bright star. \n\nBest of luck - Mike

ahhh more swamp gas refracting off venus with a strange cloud formation, is what they'll have you believe.\nfollow it up at http://www.ufoevidence.org/ \nGood luck

Gas cloud, Read further:\n\nNebula\n\nOriginally "nebula" (Greek for "cloud"; plur. nebulae) was a sort of catch-all name for any extended astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. This occasionally survives, but the stricter modern term is used for interstellar clouds of dust and gas, which are categorized by how they are illuminated.\n\nSome types of nebula have special names, such as dark nebulae, emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, reflection nebulae, and solar nebulae. \n\nFollow the links in the source links below for more info on nebulae\n\nst

Hmm, this one is interesting. I mean you could have left this one off with the science, but you added the philosophical point. But thats ok because it makes it so much more subjective. But, let's start with what science can prove, and move on from there. This should be interesting. Ok. Would the sun go supernova? No, because our nice little star is not massive enough, it needs A LOT more mass to go super nova. But what it will do is many years from now (hopefully) it will enter the Red Giant phase, where the Sun will expand outwards to about where Mars is. As it is doing that, yes it will burn concrete, it will flashboil the oceans, and turn our lush eden into a barren world shortly before being consumed by the sun. After that it will explode to create a planetary nebula and the suns inner core will remain and cool to a white dwarf. Now, the philosophical question. Mother nature would probably not step in because this is just another cycle, this happens to many other stars/ suns in our night sky. But, God probably would. In fact, he could come before our little star goes boom. Because remember that when he spoke to Noah, he said that he would destroy the world again, only with fire this time. So the sun destroying itself could have some part to play. But, he may not come till after it destroys itself. Now, that is if you believe the Bible. Im not sure what the Kuran or any other religious works have to say about their god or gods. Because remember, it took him from the big bang to about 35 A.D. to return, about 20 billion years. So, he may not come for another 20 billion years! Remember, his timescale is not like ours is. And thats the beauty of all this! He gave us a universe to explore, and a holy work commanding us to go forth unto the world and multiply! What better excuse to use for space exploration! I mean we have so much time that its almost insane. I feel that we have barely scratched the surface on our understanding of the universe, and that we should take steps to understand it.\n\n(Please note: Though I am a Christian, I respect other religions because last I looked, we lived in a country that allows freedom of religion, and actually, I would love to see some one from another religion answer this to see what they have to say about this)

It's actually a composite of photos (as are most photos of space).  Some more information is here:\n\nhttp://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000828.html\n\nwww.snopes.com has some information as well.  Type in Eye of God in the search box.

Yes, yes and yes, the people who answered your question were quite familiar with the night sky being a portal into the distant past.\nI've been fascinated with the night sky and have studied books and articles on astronomy and astro-physics over the years just so I can try to keep up with current issues.  In several bedrooms where I have lived, I have painted the night sky in deep, swirling cerulean blues and blacks with the comets(wasn't that neat we finally got to see some comets in the 1990's?) and galaxies, and shooting stars and suns and nebulae.  The best, of course, is the images that have come in through the Hubble Telescope, such majesty and wonder, beyond my simple mind to grasp!  Such distances, such an endless melange of mysteries and ideas to confront and wrap our minds around.  You must love the sky as well, to ask such as you have.  You must also be a teacher at heart.  Thanks for your question.\n                                                          --->>>Sincerely, UCSteve
