Q&A: When will be the next lunar eclipse occur in the United States?
Could you tell me some things about Solar and/or lunar ECLIPSE ? Thank you?
Question by Stefan: Could you tell me some things about Solar and/or lunar ECLIPSE ? Thank you?
I need some interesting facts about these two, if you know only about one of those, please answer, also if you know where to download videos of SOLAR ECLIPSE, LUNAR ECLIPSE and universe, especially if it's about the sun or about the moon.
Oh and if you know anything about what people used to believe in when they didn't know what happened and are there any drawings ( like in caves ) that are showing them being scared or something ?

NASA's Hubble harvests distant solar system objects

NASA's Hubble harvests distant solar system objects
Beyond the orbit of Neptune reside countless icy rocks known as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). One of the biggest, Pluto, is classified as a dwarf planet. The region also supplies us with comets such as famous Comet Halley. Most TNOs are small and receive little sunlight, making them faint and difficult to spot.
Now, astronomers using clever techniques to cull the data archives of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have added 14 new TNOs to the catalog. Their method promises to turn up hundreds more.
"Trans-Neptunian objects interest us because they are building blocks left over from the formation of the solar system," explained lead author Cesar Fuentes, formerly with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and now at Northern Arizona University.
As TNOs slowly orbit the sun, they move against the starry background, appearing as streaks of light in time exposure photographs. The team developed software to analyze hundreds of Hubble images hunting for such streaks. After promising candidates were flagged, the images were visually examined to confirm or refute each discovery.
Most TNOs are located near the ecliptic -- a line in the sky marking the plane of the solar system manufacturer (since the solar system formed from a disk of material). Therefore, the team searched within 5 degrees of the ecliptic to increase their chance of success.
They found 14 objects, including one binary (two TNOs orbiting each other like a miniature Pluto-Charon solar system supplier). All were very faint, with most measuring magnitude 25-27 (more than 100 million times fainter than objects visible to the unaided eye).
By measuring their motion across the sky, astronomers calculated an orbit and distance for each object. Combining the distance and brightness (plus an assumed albedo or reflectivity), they then estimated the size. The newfound TNOs range from 25 to 60 miles (40-100 km) across.
Unlike planets, which tend to have very flat orbits (known as low inclination), some TNOs have orbits significantly tilted from the ecliptic (high inclination). The team examined the size distribution of TNOs with low- versus high-inclination orbits to gain clues about how the population has evolved over the past 4.5 billion years.
Generally, smaller trans-Neptunian objects are the shattered remains of bigger TNOs. Over billions of years, these objects solar system supplier smack together, grinding each other down. The team found that the size distribution of TNOs with low- versus high-inclination orbits is about the same as objects get fainter and smaller. Therefore, both populations (low and high inclination) have similar collisional histories.
This initial study examined only one-third of a square degree of the sky, meaning that there is much more area to survey. Hundreds of additional TNOs may lurk in the Hubble archives at higher ecliptic latitudes. Fuentes and his colleagues intend to continue their search.
"We have proven our ability to detect and characterize TNOs even with data intended for completely different purposes," Fuentes said.

Free astronomy software that lets me create my own theoretical solar system?
by Velo Steve
Question by : Free astronomy software that lets me create my own theoretical solar system?
And then calculate events such as solar eclipses and moon phases? Would anyone know of a program like that or at least a way to try and find a program like that?
Additional Details
I need something that will allow for the formulation of a calender for the various planets, which includes the lunar phases of various moons for each planet and will allow me to view them in orbit at any set date on the solar calender created for the system. I also need one that does most of the advanced physics and mathematics for me as I am not skilled or talented in those areas. Think something for the education of an average high school student or general layperson.

Answer by Dr WhoI am the only one in my high school to take an independent study in astronomy. At college, I took the basic astronomy class and was a lab assistant at the same time which had plenty of students doing a double take. Also had to give a lecture because the professor was ill and had a physics professor assisting me. It turned out that he was hiding nearby. I have not heard of a program for a make believe planetary system. Google Earth has extras like zooming in on the Moon/Mars/etc. Go surfing.

I would just call up astronomy departments at universities and ask this question to the professors. Track down an observatory. They would love to talk your ear off on it.

In the heart of Scandinavia, where the northern-most tip of the Danish peninsula known as Jutland bends East and breaks the surging waters of the Kattegat and Skagerak seas, lies a small and picturesque fishing village. Its name is Skagen - the Skaw - and for connoisseurs of Northern Europe it is associated with a unique charm that is the result of the fusion of nature-given and man-made romanticism. At Skagen the elements can rage and reduce mankind to mere extras in a veritable power struggle between the sky and the sea. Here, time stands still, all sounds vanish, and nature is so compellingly beautiful that it takes your breath away. Here the perfect purity and beauty explain where Danish design found its unique qualities, and where the international company Skagen Designs found its name. In 1989, Henrik and Charlotte Jorst came to the United States from their native Denmark to follow a dream: that of owning and running their own business, to introduce the Danish lifestyle and philo

What are the farthest points north and south that total solar and lunar eclipses can occur?
Question by Pastor Chad from JesusFreak.com: What are the farthest points north and south that total solar and lunar eclipses can occur?
I was just reading about today's total solar eclipse, which was visible in Siberia, and I got to wondering, what are the farthest points north and south that total eclipses can occur? Can they occur at the poles?
Best answer:
Answer by JeffSolar eclipses can theoretically happen anywhere on the earth where you can see the sun. Think about it this way, during any new moon, there is a point in space near the earth where the shadow of the moon falls. (the moon is always casting a shadow in space behind it) Sometimes we get lucky and that shadow lands on the earth and we call it an eclipse. But there is always a shadow, and as the moon orbits the earth and passes by the sun every month during the new moon, the shadow usually passes above or below the earth. Of course, it could happen to just graze the top or bottom of the earth and cause an eclipse at one of the poles. You don't hear of that happening very often because of random chance--the poles are a small target, just like New York city is a small target. How often does New York get a total solar eclipse? Not very often, but just as often as any other random spot on the earth.
An eclipse of the moon happens on the entire earth/sun facing side of the moon, so it is visible from any part of the earth that is facing the moon at the moment of the eclipse. In other words, during any lunar eclipse, about half of the earth (the half facing the moon) can see the lunar eclipse.
