ost_uid0="MasterX05"]How can you say NASA is making the space and planets up?

The first planet to be discovered was Uranus by William and Caroline Herschel on 13 March 1781. It was discovered by the fact that it showed a disk when viewed through even a fairly low powered telescope. The only other planets which have been discovered are Neptune and Pluto. These were predicted using ingenious mathematical arguments based on Newton's laws of gravitation and then observed near their predicted locations.
In fact Neptune could have been discovered without the mathematical arguments. It very nearly was discovered by Galileo, the first person who could possibly have discovered a new planet. Galileo turned his telescope on the planets and was immediately fascinated by the system of Jupiter and its moons which he observed. While he was observing the Jupiter system on 28 December 1612 he recorded Neptune as an 8th magnitude star. Just over a month later on 27 January 1613, he recorded two stars in his field of view.

One was Neptune and the other a genuine star. Remarkably, Galileo observed the pair again the following night when he noted that the two stars appeared to be further apart. How close he was at that point to discovering that one of the stars was the planet Neptune.

NASA only did further research of the planets and discoverd more of them. The only thing to be fake was teh man landing on the moon when it happen, no one believed it.[/quote]
whoa whoa whoa Max i never said that the planets dont exist, i was just saying that by Karmas "philosophy" if he hasnt seen it himself then how can he believe it?
The same goes for atoms and cells, if you have never seen one do you believe they exist just because a scientist said so?hu Karma? :laughlong:
