How big is a white dwarf? What does the redshift of galaxies indicate? What is a white dwarf made of? How big is a brown dwarf star? How many planets are in the Canis Major dwarf galaxy? How many red dwarf stars are there? What are the names of the dwarf planets in our solar sy...
particular the last 20 years when most of the pseudo science of the Agenda 21 movement has been proven false by observation, especially the claims of IPCC politicians that are denied by the evidence of their own science reports, but you must believe, and cannot question. Especially not with ...

The mission will conduct major surveys in the near-infrared to answer fundamental questions about the nature of dark energy, the distribution of dark matter, the occurrence of planets around other stars, and even to enable the direct imaging of planetary systems. Globular clusters are usually ...
Which telescope is best for seeing planets? If you are interested in viewing the solar system planets up close, you’ll want a telescope with plenty of aperture. A Dobsonian telescope with a mirror of at least 8″ is a great choice, but 10″ or 12″ is even better. ...
