Upon reading mickal555's last post: What is ToSeeking?
I came across this word several times; I do know that ToSeek is one of the top ten (if not the top) poster here on this board; and I know he has got this wonderful signature about Googling - But what does "to ToSeek" actually mean? Anyway the one about the sodium came from my head, not Google (the one about Hartwig did, though ops: )

"ToSeeking" means posting something that has already been posted. ToSeek often posts interesting articles before anyone else has or has the chance to. So, when someone posts an article about something, they are often ToSeeked--it's already been discussed elsewhere. edit typo

Thanks for the ToSeeking - yeah I see why it is hard to keep up with his prolific posting and introducing new things into the discussion ("Iapetus is artificial" was a real howler).
Your mythology is absolutely correct - but nope, Charon is not the reddest object inside the orbit of Pluto - BTW I don't think you can seperate the pair with amateur equipment - The Pluto/Charon system together is a challenge even to moderate-to-large amateur stuff and Charon was not discovered (by Pros, of course, as was Pluto itself) before 1970. So the race is still on! \ / :-k

So, I am off to my football match - tune in if you can, it's Germany against Brasil, a good way to spend two hours.
If you don't find out (but you will), I suggest champion_munch put forward the next quetion. See ya'll

redest
trick question maybe? the sun? it would contain the most red energy overall *not as many ppl know this but toseek is an awesome googler and searcher hence the name toseek. I meant it in that context... |

Ok, are you talking about another planet's satellite? Some cross-orbiting, because if so, I looked it up and was having a hard time finding something that fit your question, unless you are referring to the pinkish-looking pictures of Triton. Triton was Poseidon's son and is the man represented with the fish tail; he would blow into a conch shell to upset the waves--the harder he blew, the more the seas would kick up. If I'm wrong again, there's another story! OK, so I have a lot to learn. :wink:

C-Munch, see my answer above: I Googled, I looked in every book I have, and I still can't say with certainty what Arneb is referring to unless it's Triton, since it's cooler and red. Now, I'm really curious. Now, I have to wait for a soccer game to be over to find out!
Champion Munch's question: Alrighty then - name all the different types of 'waves' in the electromagnetic spectrum.

What is the name of the largest meteorite found in the world? Where is it? Bonus points for it's weight. What is the largest in your own country? (if you don't have one, adopt another country). :P

There is a large meteorite in Mexico, but it's not the largest, but darn large enough, so the question still stands: What is the name of the largest meteorite found in the world? Where is it? Bonus points for it's weight. What is the largest in your own country? (if you don't have one, adopt another country).

Well, I don't wanna spoil the fun for everyone, so I'll just say that the largest one found in Australia was in Western Australia, and it was found in either the 50's or 60's.

OK, two questions are still standing, while I'm off: Arneb's question: 1. Let's see - Which is the "reddest" celestial body inside the orbit of Puto? Hint: You can see it with amateur equipment. To gain extra credit, tell us something about the mythological significance of the person after whom it was named. I am not absoluteley sure what "reddest" refers to - probably the relative strength of the red wavelengths in the reflection spectrum of the body. I take some artistic liberty here, not being a physicist. My latest guess on that: http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/vi...=492269#492269 My question: 2. What is the name of the largest meteorite found in the world? Where is it? Bonus points for it's weight. What is the largest in your own country? (if you don't have one, adopt another country). I'm wondering if Eroica is holding back on answering these.

I have no idea how much it weighs, though. A few tonnes, perhaps.Okay, I just Googled "Black Stone", and it turns out that it's tiny - about 50 cm across. I always imagined it must be big if they had to build the Kaaba to house it! Oh, well... ops: Quote:
