Moon flits into Gemini & Sun Jupiter Opposition in Leo/Aquarius & Moon Squares to Mercury/Saturn (August 14- 15.2009)
I always like to start with the Moon position in the zodiac wheel because it gives the emotional underlying current of the 2 ½ days the goddess Lunar spends in one sign. It is our fastest moving planet and many people do feel the waxing and waning of the inner tides in sync with the outer Moon. So how are you feeling today? Are you feeling good or

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

How many miles would a space shuttle have to go above earth to be completely unaffected by earth's gravity?
Question by Alec Beattie: How many miles would a space shuttle have to go above earth to be completely unaffected by earth's gravity?
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 .
okay, I know that nothing can be completely unaffected by gravity. Just give me the altitude where the effect of EARTH's gravity
