I can't believe people don't know how to rotate their images.

[BeanerSA]

6 months ago, I would have had no idea. Never thought you could see Jupiter and Saturn with the naked eye. Go easy on him!

[LewisM]

I thought you were always falling down drunk Andrew. He was only being helpful :P

He might not be intelligent :question:

[FlashDrive]

[multiweb]

About 99% of the population who doesn't give a hoot about astronomy. Now back to the geeky thread :p

[astroron]

[jayconnor]

He guessed Saturn! Ruled out Neptune straight away!

[PCH]

Horses for courses Jay matey. After all, who would've thought a clearly more educated person would say 'would of' when they meant 'would have' or 'would've'?

No offense intended - just sayin' ;)

[jayconnor]

When it comes to spelling and grammar you wouldn't want to depend on me haha

[rustigsmed]

I thought they were his pyjamas.

[AstralTraveller]

Is he a golfer perchance?

[JD2439975]

There was a question only last week...what lies at the centre of our galaxy?

Answers were, the Earth, the Moon, a black hole and a supernova.

First contestant passed, second answered...the Moon!!! :screwy::rofl:

[leon]

A lot of people would have got it wrong, especially if one is not interested, or knows anything about Astronomy.

Just saying !! :)

Leon :thumbsup:

[PCH]

Totally taken aback by such basic lack of knowledge, I shouted that question out to a few buddies.

NONE of them knew the right answer. I was shocked.

And incidentally Justin, Eddie (McGuire) mentioned the name of our galaxy as being the Milky Way, and the 4th selection wasn't 'a supernova', it was 'nougat' (being in the centre of a bar of 'galaxy' chocolate bar I suppose!).

But yeah, everyone I asked was struggling between the Earth and the Moon and essentially had no idea.

I very quickly decided not to ask anyone else because they looked at me like I was some sort of smartass or something - knowing (a little) about this space stuff!

Duh..:shrug:

[julianh72]

It doesn't REALLY surprise me that many people have no idea which planets are visible to the naked eye - it's not a fact that comes up often in daily conversation if you have no interest in astronomy.

What DOES surprise me is that some people are apparently unaware that the Moon is visible in daylight hours:

I saw the moon in a blue sky. Why? How can this happen? I thought the moon was visible only at night!

You would have to be almost wilfully stupid to reach adulthood and never have noticed the Moon in the daylight sky!

[JD2439975]

Ahh, thanks Paul

Was struggling to remember the fourth answer and supernova was all that came to mind.
Nougat is far more obvious an answer, surprised it wasn't chosen.

[Matt Wastell]

Not sure if he is a golfer but they are definitely Loud Mouth golf pants - Strawberry Shake if I am not mistaken.

[traveller]

But can you see Uranus naked :rofl: :P

[LewisM]

With a mirror, yes :P

[OzStarGazer]

Bingo! How did you know? Are you a golfer too?

[Matt Wastell]

Well, a golfer would be a complimentary term for what I do every Saturday - I do play - a member at Gailes (Wacol). I do have quite the collection of LM pants & shorts.
