astronomy

ok, so some my friends would not believe me that mars flashes red and blue because when i saw mars tonight they would only say it was airplane.  and that was what they were stickin' with, no matter what i say, so....  here we go...

{http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/1999/ast07jun99_1/}  this website basically says that mars and a star named spica sort of flash off of each other.  the pic below show mars (top) and spica (below) flashing.  obvioulsy, this shows spica flashing, but trust me mars does too.  it isn't flashing red and blue because it is a black/white moving pic.  also, notice that {.nasa..gov} gov stands for government and is mainly trustorthy, while .com, basically anybody could be posting.  (my friends and i were discussing that site could have been bogus, but as you can see odds are that it's not.)



also, since they were insisting on mars being an airplane, i want to put out there that we were looking at mars for like 5 minutes and it was in the same spot the whole time!  they claimed it was moving, but if it was it would have been long gone.

k, so i know this is an hp blog, but my i don't have any other blogs at the moment, so just pretend that this is like an astronomy lesson from professor sinistra or a divination lesson from firenze.  (centaurs were always trustworthy with their planets, pro. trelawney, well ummm.... you can figure her out....[don't get me wrong, she's awesome, just not with divination, well.... most of the time.])

now i am going to go to bed and read and rest.  sorry if i've bored you out of your mind, i just had to get this out of my system.  well thanks for reading!

♥, Ginny

p.s.  i feel so bad for scientists like galileo and alfred wegener because nobody ever believed them until after they were dead.  it must have been super frustrating.  but as for this planetary problem between me and my friends, i hope they believe me now.  :D
