Moon + Mars tonight [Sunday] [Archive] - RonFez.net Messageboard

If you've never seen Mars with the naked eye and knew it was Mars, the red planet is very close to the moon tonight. All night. Go outside and it's right there, up in the sky. Yep, that way...The reddish tinge of Mars can be seen with the naked eye to differeing degrees; some can't see it, some can. It's sometimes easier to notice the red if you use averted vision, don't look directly at mars, look away, our eyes sense color a bit better at the edges then right dead center. And to bring things to a cosmic scale, while they look close together in the sky, Mars is 245 times farther away from us then the moon.

I really hope one specific poster is outside all night howling at Mars instead of posting retarded photoshops on this board.

Oh I love certian aspects of astronomy and other cool ass shit, but I just don't think a dot next to the moon is that big a deal.  I've always been meaning to get at least a weak, small telescope.  I really should.

whatever happened to sheepy after the prom? Right after they named him "Prom King" they dumped a bucket of pig blood over his head.  At that point, his latent telekinetic powers kicked in and he killed the entire senior class.Then he made Crazy Clare his love slave and moved to Micronesia where he now benevolently rules over a race of Pygmies.

Was there a meteor show last night, too? =Absolutely. The geminids peaked last night, and sadly with a full moon so the skies werent very dark, and I went out about 5am for about 5 mins but was driven back in by the cold. Saw nada, but they were indeed in action last night.Bits of rock the size of a matchhead coming in to the atmosphere so fast the kinetic energy blazes them for that split second of their death.A bit bigger, say the size of a house, and you get Meteor Crater out west. And Google/Wikipedia 'Tunguska' and read about how Something huge exploded over Siberia early in the century, flattening forests for miles around.

this is a little off topic but still somewhat relevantusually during the MLB playoffs and sometimes during regular season as well and in the NFl too, they sometimes show the moon full screen during a game. One of these days i wanna see some kind of activity up there, ufo's flying past or landing or explosions or something. That would just be awesome and incredible to see and at the same time freak the hell out of everyone

Do you think it was really a meteor?  Definitely a strange incidence with lots of conspiracy theories.=My guess is not a rocky meteor, since Tunguska doesnt have an impact crater like Meteor Crater out west. A Comet entering would do it; mostly ice, the energy of hitting earths atmosphere at that speed is essentially the same as hitting a brick wall, so an air-burst explosion would explain a lot.Or some mofo of an alien took a wrong turn at Mars and Boom goes the Dynamite.

Mike - have you read anything about the
Tunguska connection to Tesla?  Interesting stuff. 
Believable?  Maybe.  Leans toward the Art Bell side of life a
wee bit.  If Tesla did actually pull that off, maybe it's better
we really don't know what happened.  Either way Tesla was one
amazing dude.  Alternating current - what a concept.  Some of
his generators are actually still running up in Niagare Falls.

Mike - have you read anything about the Tunguska connection to Tesla?=Yeah the more I read on Tesla the more I think he got the shaft in terms of history; he's considered an also-ran after Edison et al, but he definately pioneered some amazing stuff, and I think the others were like, alternating current?; why?It's a big stretch to one of his machines/experimets going tits up and causing a Tunguska type event, but it is fun speculating.One Q I wanna know, is, why is the sky dark at night? Coz science doesn't have a very good explanation for this, because at night, the sky should not be dark.??????????????????????????????

For the same reason your room is dark when you turn off the lights.=I make no claim to super-smartness, but at night, the lights don't go off. There are still stars out there, triillions of them, and as far away as they might be, the night sky should be aglow with the lights of all of these stars. If you pick a point in the sky and go far enough, there should be a star. Far far away? doesn't matter, it's dimmer due to it's small angular size, but i's still spitting out photons, and all those trillions of stars lumped together suggest the night sky should be as bright as the surface of a star.It's called Obler's paradox, and some say is resolved due to the non-infinite nature of the universe, but still, some speculate the night sky should be as bright as day.
