I am looking for a finder scope for my 8 in. Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. I was wondering what you people had and what you recommend. Thank you! Sincerely, Jacob

I observed comet NEOWISE at approximately 4:40 A.M. CDT (9:40 UT). I found it in my 8x32 binoculars and also in my telescope at approximately 63x. The tail was nicely visible in both along with a stark nucleus. I was wondering if there would be a good time to see NEOWISE with the naked eye...

Dave643, Gravity does not exist outside of galaxy groups. Also, gravity is the affect of spacetime being bent by mass. Essentially, gravity does not exist outside of galaxy groups, because there is no mass to bend spacetime; therefore there is nothing to form gravity. Now remember, the...

According to post #5, you said, " I believe that "chance distribution" should be distributed evenly. Am I right? I do know that the Big Bang Theory says that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic. Do this not also apply to antimatter and matter?

I first thought that there was no asymmetry between matter and antimatter, but there is some. See the link below. Why is there more matter than antimatter? The amount of asymmetry is obviously not high enough to explain the matter/antimatter unbalance. That is obvious from what we know...

From all of our evidence, we can see that the only outcome of the conditions of the Big Bang was equal amounts of antimatter and matter created. What happens when these equal amounts were created? Well, what happens when antiparticles and particles collide? They destroy each other...

Cool map! This will definitely help future missions to the moon (when we get there). We will know where we can take samples from of different substances. We will be able to bring back samples of the substances of the most interest. This has and will continue to increase our knowledge of our...

I was up from 1:50 AM until 2:50 AM CDT. I saw about 15 meteors, and about three fireballs. They were very bright! It was very cool to see the ionized trail behind the fireballs. I really enjoyed this meteor shower.

Last night I saw about 5 meteors per hour. I did see two that were fireballs. I am looking forward to going out tomorrow morning to watch during the peak. Happy meteor watching fellow space fans!

Completely forgot that this is the problem.

This article talked about dark matter emitting X-rays. But the second video about dark matter on the same page said that dark matter does not emit "any other form of electromagnetic radiation." Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but I am noticing a discrepancy. I am just wanting some...

Hello, This is Star Lord. I have an interest in space which has been with me for several years. I just recently found out about Space.com and I really like it. I am excited to learn more about space with others who have the same passion as I do...
