Any of our photographers going to get up early and photograph the big bang? It'd be very cool to have some pics on here.

OOPS Sorry, didnt mean to send the Moon on a collision course with earth. You have seven days before the collision........Dude Im headed to Indo Kraemer Since 24 Apr 2006 1736 Posts Sky Pilot Unicorn Captain Thu Oct 08, 09 7:07 pm     Link cosmodog Since 06 Oct 2005 205 Posts Stoked Thu Oct 08, 09 7:17 pm     Quote: Sorry, didnt mean to send the Moon on a collision course with earth. Don't think there is much to worry about - someone did the math: Quote: The impact vehicle masses ~2300 kg and will impact at roughly 2.5 km/s. The moon is 7.36 x 10^22 kg (or 72,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg). So you can expect the moon's velocity to change by about 7.8 × 10^-17 m/s, or 2.5 nanometers per year. So after ~160 years the moon will be off-course by about the wavelength of purple light.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
