Hi. 1st I need to say that I genuinely like your weblog, just found it last week but I have been reading it since then.

I seem to consent with most of your respective thinkings and opinions and this submit is no exception. entirely

Thank you for a great webpage and I hope you hold up the good work. If you do I will continue to checked out it.

Use a great evening.

Good question – the only one I’ve ever used is basically this one: http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_3053597 – and I think I’ve personally broken three of them. So, not a glowing recommendation, but bear in mind that every prop I use is often handled by thousands of people.

I’ve always wanted one of those really pretty steampunk brass-and-wire orrerys. That would be so pretty.

Comment on Got a Question? by alicesastroinfo

The Moon is so much brighter than the stars that you tend to be able to get only one or the other in the picture. It might be possible to get both by using a method called "high dynamic range" - but it is likely the Moon will be too bright and will likely be so overexposed that it will wash out any stars nearby. Here is a more detailed answer - along with a digitally manipulated photo. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap010906.html Here's a photo that does show both - but it makes the Moon look like the Sun: http://www.astronet.ru/db/xware/msg/1199835 -Alice!

Why are not stars visible in the photographs taken on the moon? The sky only appears black, but no stars.

I love your stories very much because they are spelled in an understandable coherent. So I can learn them although I come from Germany and have some problems to translate English articles.
