When we got back from Hungary, where we watched the total solar eclipse of 1999, a dear friend at the paper asked me if people could see the eclipse from places where it was night at the time. -- Joe
In this morning's Parade magazine, Marilyn vosSavant lists questions she has received that she says are just too funny to answer. I must admit, all you can do is laugh at the amazing things that go through people's minds. Among these are a few astronomy-related questions:
Where did all the stars go? In the '50s, the sky was loaded with them. -St. Petersburg, FL
Do you think daylight-saving time could be contributing to global warming? The longer we have sunlight, the more it heats the atmosphere. -San Antonio, TX
I see falling stars nearly every night. They seem to come out of nowhere. Have stars ever fallen out of any known constellations? -Batesville, AK
Hope these brighten your day!
