Arrrrrrrrrrgh!, who else has had enough?
Look at the top 20 questions in Astronomy and Space:

16 of them are about the end of the world. Can someone tell me what this has to with Astronomy? I'm sick of this bunk, and it's only going to get worse the closer we get to 2012. Does anyone else agree?and more importantly what can we do? . . . Maybe an Email campaign to Yahoo answers administrators to set up a doomsday nitwit forum?
15 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoHas anyone seen "In the Shadow of the Moon"?
I found out yesterday that Ron Howard made a movie about the Apollo program called "In the Shadow of the Moon ". I was shocked because this movie has been in theaters almost 2 weeks now and I haven't heard anything about it. Has anyone here heard about it or seen it? If so, what did you think?
5 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoHistory repeating itself . . . Ceres / Pluto debate?
Reading about the Dawn Mission (launching this June) got me thinking about Ceres. Like Pluto, it was considered a planet after it was discovered in 1801, only to be "re-classified" as an Asteroid 50 years later. My question is:
What happened in the 1850's to make them re-classify it?
and was there a meeting/debate in the 1850's similar to the 2006 International Astronomical Union meeting about Pluto?
