Finished animation for a school project. The Solar System.

Note: Celestial bodies’ sizes, distances and speeds are not realistic.

There are stars in the background but the compression erased them so they are not really visible.

Music is:

I sometimes feel that some aspects contradicts the other. Since i’m new to this stuff, i need your advice. So, can anyone recommend any good websites to learn about aspects in detail?

I’m going to start with the second part of your question first.

There are several really good sites that are great for beginners. The one most people recommend is http://www.astro.com ; they have excellent tutorials for aspects. Also, Bob Marks astrology http://www.bobmarksastrologer.com/ is one of my favorite sites for researching houses and aspects.

Now, for how to analyze aspects…that’s not such an easy question to answer. It’s a matter of preference to what is most important to you, but very generally, I would recommend working your way through your aspects starting with the most prevalent placements (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) first. Those are your personal planets and, being closest to Earth, will have the most "pull" on you.

Also, I really don’t consider aspects has having a specifc "precedence" when I’m reading a chart. I look at the whole thing first, see what jumps out at me, then focus on those areas that are of importance at the time…ie, if I want to look at communication issues, I focus on Mercury, for example.

Also, below is a link that has some helpful hints for a new chart reader from some of the more experienced people here.

Despite what folks believe about Van Gogh, he was far ahead of his time, he portrayed many paintings he did by using very impasto strokes and bright colors and they weren’t that way because he didn’t know how to paint, he was a brilliant copy artist(more in a bit) Vincent chose outright to make those impasto strokes because he wanted the viewer to be able to feel what he painted for real, as in starry,starry night?…..the aberation of starlight and the breezes he felt while he was painting,.he wanted to portray so a person could actually touch the texture of what he felt….he was a genious but like many geniouses, he had poor social skills and that’s why his brother bought and sold his paintings for him and also sought help for vincent because he was his brother. the cutting off of his ear has always been a blemish as the biggest and most recalled story of Vincent but people fail to research his personality, he was by today’s standards and "alcoholic" Bi-polar and he suffered from otherepilepsy and he could’nt explain that to the doctors who treated him with one of the first anti-depressants called "oxycarbazapine",…..his life was one day to the next either "Turmoil" or it was perfectly fine, he like to be alone sometimes and at other times he hated being alone. those two things are what most artists seek today at present and I’d say, art is a form of communication that Vincent tried to get across to his patrons and frineds. His drink of choice was ameranth or a liquer made from wormwood a known hallucinogenic drug in the liquer,..mixing it with his oxycarbazapine probably led to some of his most famous paintings and duels with his being alone and or with people he knew.My opinion?….Clone him!!!!!
I hope this helps you.

there are some solar sytem heading towards our solarsystem.
we they collide the human race will disappear!1
living no trace.
u think life will begin again in different planet.
when our space is going to collide what will happen

once they collide thats it.
no more living beings

How was the Hubble telescope invented, what gave them the idea to make such a thing , did any telescopes come before that helped them develop this idea?

Has the technology world gained anything from the invention , has it lead to anything greater being invented ?

The hubble telescope is _not_ an "invention." There is nothing new about it: it is a natural evolution from trends in astronomy going back centuries. It is a normal modern research telescope, only unusual in that it is placed in an orbiting satellite, so that it is above the turbulence of the Earth’s atmosphere.

Te original hubble telescope had a major optical flaw and produced very poor images. This led scientists to develop sophisticated image processing techniques to extract sharp images from fuzzy ones. These techniques are used widely today in medical imaging.

I counted about 80 galaxies in the planetary Camera of the Hubble Deep Field. The Camera is 35 arc seconds by 35 arc seconds in size, and the entire sky has an area of 41,253 square degrees (degrees), how do I calculate how many galaxies are in the universe? How do I set up the equation?

1 degree= 3600 arc seconds

Well there are 60 arcseconds per arc minute and 60 arcminutes per degree. So you just have to do the conversions.

Using your information the Hubble Deep Field is:

35 / (60 * 60) = .0097 degrees across and,
.0097 * .0097 = .00009409 square degrees

There fore there are
80 / .00009409 = 850249.761 galaxies per square degree, and
850249.761 * 41253 = 35,075,353,385.057 galaxies in the sky. Obviously this is a very rough estimation, but kinda cool nonetheless.

Professional estimates of how many galaxies there are range into the hundreds of billions. The descrepency can easily be attributed to a miscount (the hubble Deep Field is huge and there are tons of galaxies there), there may be denser areas in other parts of the sky, etc., etc.

Who bought the original painting, for how much, and when? What is your source?
Just a price would be fine, but I need a website
Thanks

The Museum of Modern Art in NYC owns it ( They bought it in the 1940s)
Contact them for more info.

I’m suppose to declare and intialize an arrayList of PlanetS with the name solarSystem to represent our solar system. The arrayList sholud contain one element for each planet in our solar system.

ArrayLists can contain any object type, as well as a mixture of object types. As such, populating the ArrayList is easy:

ArrayList solarsystem = new ArrayList();
//create a PlanetS object for Venus
solarSystem.add(/*name of PlanetS object*/);
//create a PlanetS object for Mercury
solarSystem.add(/*name of PlanetS object*/);
//etc etc…

The complexity comes when you want to get data out of the ArrayList, as you will have to cast it to the correct type:

PlanetS p = (PlanetS) solarSystem.get(1);
