Re: Angular momentum- an answer or two
Back when I worked at the SFASU observatory in Nacogdoches I did just that. I was finished teaching an Astronomy Lab class and all the students left. It was a dark moonless night. I laid on the hood of my car looking north. All I could see was the sky. I could not see any of the landscape around me. I could see three planets that marked the plane of our Solar System. I could see the Milky Way stretching across our sky. For the first time I could ‘see’ our place in the galaxy. I also felt like I was off the Earth and in space> It was a powerful feeling.
