Question by jotun_hertigen: Is the rapture really to be on June 1 since the calendar was adjusted 11 days in 1752 ?
11 days were deleted from the year 1752 so that’s gets the rapture up to June 1. Also on June 1 , 2011 it is a solar eclipse and planetary alignments are to occur between Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.

There is no doubt that astronomy is the oldest science and there is also no doubt that astronomy was being studied by everyone, not only the wise men, thousands and thousands of years ago. We do not know exactly why they did it, but we can surmise that early man noticed a correlation between the weather and the stars, which were themselves not fully understood, of course.Early man, probably even as far back as Neanderthal man, noticed the relationship between the weather and herd movements and crop growth, or at least fruit and nuts on local trees, if they did not have planted crops. This means that people could see a relationship between the stars and food availability. This relationship was probably ritualized into some sort of religion like early Wicca. Therefore, the stars became a very important part of the lives of every single person and it is likely that astrology and astronomy were widely intermixed by the average person.However, there were also people who did not only use the stars as some vast celestial clock and tried to make sense of the whole shebang. and I am going to relate below, eight of the most important dates or years in the history of astronomy before Christ walked on the Earth. Never forget that they had nothing but an abacus to do there calculations and no telescopes, which came about two thousand years later.<u>585 BC</u>: Thales of Miletus (c. 625- c. 547), a Greek, predicted a solar eclipse in Asia Minor purely on the basis of his observations and calculations. It was not a lucky guess!<u>c. 400 BC</u>: the astronomer Oenopedes (5th. century). also a Greek, announces that the Earth is tilted on its axis with respect to the Sun.<u>352 BC</u>: the Chinese report what they called a 'guest star', a supernova, which was the earliest reported sighting.<u>340 BC</u>: The astronomer, Kidinnu (b. Babylon c. 379 BC) discovers the precession of the Equinoxes, ie the apparent change in the position of the stars caused by the Earth's wobbling on its axis.<u>c. 300 BC</u>: a 'committee' of Chinese astronomers compile star maps of the visible universe.<u>c. 240 BC</u>: Chinese astronomers observe and make notes about Halley's Comet. Also Eratosthenes of Cyrene (c. 276 - c.194 BC), a Greek, correctly calculate the Earth's dimensions.<u>165 BC</u>: Chinese astronomers notice sunspots for the first time.<u>c. 130 BC</u>: the astronomer Hipparchus of Nicea (b. 147 BC), a Greek, correctly calculates the distance to the Earth's Moon and also rediscovers the precession of the Equinoxes.You will notice from the dates above that obviously not everyone let nature and the stars rule their lives, as the comon farmer or hunter did. Some men actually took pen to paper, but before pen and paper even existed, and tried to
will we in America be able to see the solar eclipse 2009?

Question by hello world: will we in America be able to see the solar eclipse 2009?
I mean will our view here be as good as in India?
Best answer:
Answer by toyz5Unfortunately not, Solar eclipses are fairly regionalized, so the only place you can see it is in a specific region of India.

Space-based solar power is a method of using solar power satellites to collect solar energy so that it can be distributed for use all over the earth. This amazing technology could be an apt answer for the growing needs of the world energy resource consumption.A recent study states that the in 2050 earth will need to produce 3 times the energy it produces now to feed the world population hence we are in dire need to find out a solution and many feel that this SBSP will be one of the best solution.Benefits of Space based Solar Power:The first benefit of these satellites or powersats is the fact that they collection is virtually unaffected by the day and night cycles of the sun, with only minor effects from orbital eclipse. On the earth's surface, solar panels can only collect solar energy for a maximum of 9 hours per day and when there is cloud cover this number is even lower. It can be collected 24 hours per day for the majority of the year and this means at least 5 times more space-based solar power can be collected than that collected by solar panels on the surface. That's 5:1 in favour of space-based solar power. In areas where it is frequently cloudy, this number jumps to 25:1.It is a method of collection that is not affected by weather on the surface, the seasons, or by the earth's atmosphere, which can act as a filter, reducing the strength of the solar energy. This means that it is far more reliable than surface solar panels and it is also a renewable source of energy.Space based Solar Power is the energy of the future. It is generated via solar power satellites, otherwise known as powersats, and the energy is transmitted wirelessly to receiving stations on the earth's surface. Space based Solar Powerallows for a significant increase in the amount of they collected compared to that solar power collection on the surface of the earth as the solar satellites are not affected by the earth's atmosphere, seasons, weather, or cycles of day and night.Solar satellites, otherwise known as powersats, orbit the earth and are designed to capture solar energy and transmit that energy to receiving stations that are situated thousands of miles from each other on the surface of the earth. These satellites are made up of a number of modules outfitted with light weight photovoltaic solar panels.It is clean, it is green, and it is safe. Collecting solar in space is also more efficient than collecting on the surface of the earth for many reasons.About the Author

Q&A: How is an annular eclipse of the sun different from a total eclipse?
Question by : How is an annular eclipse of the sun different from a total eclipse?
Best answer:
Answer by ChrisAn annular eclipse is when the sun and moon are in line (eclipsing) but the apparent size of the moon is less than the sun so there is a border of sun around the moon.
A total eclipse is where the moon completely blocks out the disc of the sun leaving only the corona visible.
