		<description>WOW HoosierHoops! Lots of great topics. I&#039;m going to start working on them tomorrow and plug away on them 1 a day or every other day. (Although the book may take longer... And &quot;Astronomy for Dummies&quot; is already taken :( )</description>

		<description>Sorry about the moles Pamela..
So I have a couple subjects that maybe you could write on..( it&#039;s ok if you humor me..maybe something will click )
1) I know you have seen the picture of the cosmic microwave map..It&#039;s kindof an elongated bubble with hot spots and cooler spots of microwave energy from the big bang.. I&#039;ve always wondered about that map.
At the moment of the big bang the biggest most powerful explosion of all time..and it obviously had to occur in the center of the bubble..
My question is..shouldn&#039;t most of the leftover radiation be at the center of the explosion?
Just as a star explodes and leaves it&#039;s imprint and radiation? where is that center of the big bang and how come no one, even with a map can find the smoking gun of the biggest explosion of all time?

2) I saw a picture of a ring of dark matter..or it&#039;s effects..If it&#039;s everywhere in space..how come we don&#039;t see more of it in our corner of space? If we can detect dark dust and dark matter is real matter..some kind of particle..
how come it doesn&#039;t block out light from stars? like dust? Could dark matter just be a property of gravity that we don&#039;t understand yet? and speaking of gravity..When you speak of gravity waves..how can a wave exist from a large body yet not exert sort of a wavy property on another body obiting? You folks say it&#039;s like a rock thrown into a lake..yet waves on a boat in the lake causes a bobbing or weaving action on it.planets seem to obit in a smooth action.Strange if you ask me.

3) What&#039;s the deal with Mars? there is no water there..so probably no life..Yet there is a moon around Saturn full of water..albeit frozen on top.
Why hasn&#039;t there been a probe sent there ? Yet everybody wants to keep sending probes to Mars..yea i get it..it rocky and dusty on mars with no water..
Then send another probe or rover there? I predict we&#039;ll find more rocks on Mars..and in another 50 probes we&#039;ll know if some small insignicant trace of water is underground somewhere. big whoop..we have a whole planet of water to go explore.

4) So the speeding up of the expansion of the universe breaks every law of Physics..after 13.7 BILLION years the explosion continues out ever faster and faster..a thought..are we sure there isn&#039;t a property of red shift that we don&#039;t understand or have not discovered? there is no way we are going faster..or is the vaccum of space pulling us apart..or it&#039;s just a property of space and we call it dark energy..All I know is there is no way something happens without following the laws of Physics.. and the universe isn&#039;t following that law.
5) Write a book..call it &#039;the universe for dummies&#039;
that way you&#039;ll be able to afford a gardener for the mole problem..
Thanks so much for your time
Kind Regards</description>

		<description>Pamela, I think your local hardware store would have some humane traps for the moles.</description>

		<description>Eeeewwww - That would leave me with a lawn filled with dead moles. Mole Trap = metal device thatstabs or cuts mole to bits (think mouse trap). In English, not all the devices that trap the animal are humane.</description>

There is a section on how to trap a mole.</description>
