Astronomer - "Astronomy"

How does a person determine when the moon is full or it's a half moon because I always see on calenders how it says full or half moon?

Kind regards
Arné

Because of the patterns it follows in the sky, it's easy to tell how the sun is going to hit the moon at a certain time of day. Here's a diagram of how it works: http://www.moonphases.info/images/moon-phases-diagram.gif
Hope this helps

Astronomer - "star trouble"

There is the pole star isn't there? Well... I am confused because some people say it is the north star!

Are they both the same?
Are there any zodiac signs connected to it?
A unsolved mystery?

modify delete 19182 - Reply from sachal186 (Pakistan) - 2012-10-26

well the pole star is located in the northern hemisphere just right above the north pole so that's why some people call it the north star

modify delete 16247 - Reply from Casey112 , 15 yrs (USA) - 2012-05-19

The pole star and the North star are the same. You see, it is lined up exactly with the North pole. This star is called polaris and is attached to the constellation Ursa Minor, or the Little Dipper as most people call it. You can read the legend on http://www.comfychair.org/~cmbell/myth/ursa_minor.html.

Astronomer - "Cost of A Backyard Telescope"

Hey! I have been intrigued by astronomy & space since I was in 3rd or 4th grade! & I was wondering what the price of a backyard telescope (in US currency) would be; Please tell me soon because I need to know how much I would need to save up! (I currently have an [rounded] about of $60)

Hi,

I am from Bangladesh, currently living abroad. I know very little about Astronomy and Telescope. Astronomy is my main hobby.

Regarding your question. It depends on your demand of research and darkness of the sky of your area. There are two types of instrumental requirement, visual and Astrophotography.

Visual: Planets, moon, sun , DSO (deep sky objects). Viewing DSO will require short focal length with large optics let say 5” optics or more with f/5, Viewing Moon don’t require large optics. Viewing Planets require large optics with long focal length minimum 5” f/10. Sun don’t require large optics telescope but the scope will require solar filter on it, it is not expensive but if you want to see even more details, Ha (Hydrogen-Alpha filter is the answer, it is much more expensive then the telescope itself, let say few hundred dollars to thousands.

Astrophotography: practice makes perfect. Need to learn lots, also lots of $$$$ require to spend. Most money will spend on the mount. 80mm ED Telescope can take decent picture of DSO. 80mm Ed will cost about $400 to $800+ depends on the quality, mount will cost few thousands, Autoguider, guide telescope and DSLR or CCD CAMERA, and a Computer. Total cost few thousands $.

Be honest with you $60 telescope? you will not be pleased with it.

Thank you
Duke

I just ADORE astronomy. I have a tiny telescope and when I look at the top of the Spire (It's a giant pole in the middle of Dublin, Ireland. Te top and middle of it light up at night), it's like looking at a group of powerful, beautiful stars. And here is some information:

Stars look white, but are in fact red, yellow and blue.

Blue is the hottest, at more than 10,000 degree celsius,

Red is the coldest, at either 2,000 or 4,000 degree celsius.
