I'm a science blogger and usually blog on topics such as planetary protection, astrobiology and the search for life, asteroid impacts and such like. But I also greatly enjoy answering questions on Quora and then sometimes write up the answers as science blog posts themselves. This booklet is a compilation of some of the most interesting and entertaining questions and answers.
The questions answered here are:
Can You See Moon City Lights on Earth?
Can a Moon be as Bright as a Sun?
Can a Star Orbit a Planet?
Will Anyone Ever Fly Through Sun?
What Happens to the Shape of a Fast Spinning Planet?
Can a Moon have Moonlets or Rings?
What Food Could You Share with ET?
Can There be a Satellite of the ISS?
Could There be Undiscovered Living Hominids?
We get Moon Tides, but What About Sun Tides?
Are there Launches Out Of Solar System Plane?
Could ETs Tell Which Humans we Find Attractive?
What Happens if the Sun Vanishes?
Can an Astronaut in the ISS Throw a Ball to Earth?
Could You Hover in a Plane and Let the Earth Spin Beneath?
What is a Black Hole Made Of?
You may be surprised at where the answers to these questions take us.
The original posts are available online to read for free. You can find links to the originals near the start of the book.
