Question by ccisa3@sbcglobal.net: What is a good telescope for a ten year old child?
My son wants one for Christmas. I have found tons on Ebay in different price ranges, of course-but I have no clue what is junk and what is good. I don't want to spend hundreds on his first one because I am not positive how far he will go with Astronomy. I need to get it ordered in the next couple of days so I can get it on time. Thanks for any ideas.

What happens to the space shuttle rocket and boosters?

by State Library and Archives of Florida
Question by Sherlock2006: What happens to the space shuttle rocket and boosters?
That rocket that the space shuttle is strapped to when it lifts off - what happens to that thing once the shuttle's in flight? I know the side booster things fall off first, and later the whole rocket detaches. But where do they land? In the water, I'm guessing, but if the space shuttle is way up in outer space by the time the rocket parts fall away, how can they be sure

What's the difference between astronomy and astrology?

Although astronomy and astrology are historically related and many individuals were interested in both, there is today no connection between the two. Hence two different USENET newsgroups exist: sci.astro (for the former) and alt.astrology (for the latter). DO NOT CONFUSE THEM.
Astronomy is based on the laws of physics (and therefore mathematics) and aims at describing what is happening to

What is the meaning of "naked eye" astronomical observation?

Question by GaryB: What is the meaning of "naked eye" astronomical observation?
A friend of mine travels to an observatory to look through their telescope and calls it "naked eye" observation. I expressed my belief that such observation is done lying on one's back in a meadow, not with a telescope. He says that "naked eye" just means without a camera. He's the astronomer but I still think I'm right.
