Astronomy Laser Pointers - Green Laser Pointers for Astronomy
High power green laser pointers are becoming more and more popular for use in astronomy. Whether you are star-gazing with your astronomy club buddies or conducting an astronomy lecture outdoors, there is nothing more frustrating than unsuccessfully trying to identifying a star or constellation in the sky. Before portable lasers were available, the only ways were to either point to it with your index finger

by mike.in.ny
Question by v3nome: Why do virtually all the galaxies in the universe appear to be moving away from our own?
Because we are located near where the Big Bang happened.
Because we are located near the center of the universe.
Observers in all galaxies observe a similar phenomenon because of the universe's expansion.

Do all the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in a single plane?
Question by Ravi: Do all the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in a single plane?
Do all the planets orbit the sun in a single plane, or do they have their own planes of orbit (forming an ellipsoid)?
I suspect that they are not all in a single plane. This is because, when we see the planets in the sky, we need to look above into the sky, each planet seen at various angles from the Earth's horizon. Further, if all the planets were in the same plane we should not have been able to see

Assume that the space shuttle is just an average NASA shuttle. By "completely unaffected" by gravity, I mean that it would be able to just keep on going at the same speed indefinitely , because there was no friction or gravity .

If you want to use a bigger one, you could just buy time on it - or pay a few million for your own. Most have to be made from scratch and designed special, so that's

Jupiter moons?
by mcwetboy
Question by Kara: Jupiter moons?
I believe that Jupiter has quite a few moons that orbit it and that the gravitational pulls on a couple of the moons actually cause them to switch orbital patterns occasionally. My questions are:
1) is it possible for two full-sized planets to orbit the same sun/star and occasionally switch orbital patterns?
2) If question 1 is possible, is it possible for those two planets to collide (obviously at the intersection point)?
3) If question
