"Tell the world. Tell this to everybody, wherever they are. Watch the skies everywhere. Keep looking. Keep watching the skies." Ok, corny quotes from 50s scifi movies aside, maybe we've got something new up there to watch for. patrick http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/mar/31/secret-stealth-warplane-cau…

COSMOS

I watched the latest COSMOS episode yesterday, and was shocked at one totally unrealistic scene, in particular. The animation of John and William Herschel walking on the beach at night. A clear, star-filled sky. In England? I didn't buy it. ;-)

NOAH: daytime stars

I liked the movie. I also like the daytime sky in the pre-flood version of Earth, where stars are visible during the day. What would be the scientific reasons for such a thing: * earth much closer to other bright stars, so their light is visible during the day? * different composition of the atmosphere? * dimmer sun? I liked the effect. Dion
