From the position of the Southern Cross you estimate the South Celestial Pole at an altitude of 44degrees south. You see a full moon on eastern horizon an your watch tells you its 1AM. Where are you?

You would need to provide the date, or at least the month and year, in order to calculate this. I would also need to know what time zone your watch is set to.
Further; it would be difficult to estimate the location of the south celestial pole to an accuracy of one degree; it would be tough to estimate it to within 5 degrees. But let's assume that you can; this gives us a latitude of 46 South.
Are you on a ship, or on land? There's very little land at 46 South. Since you posted this question in the English language rather than in Spanish, you're probably in New Zealand's South Island, possibly in Dunedin, New Zealand. (Had you posted this question in Spanish, I would have guessed Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina.)

Does the sun rotates towards the center of the galaxy as every 230 million years and if all asteroids mixed together what it will be form as an celestial object?
The Sun, or the Solar System, rotates AROUND the galaxy. After 230 million years (or whatever time it takes - you should understand that's an estimate), it will return, more or less, to the position it is now.
What math did Benjamin Banneker use to predict solar ad lunar eclipses?
Benjamin Banneker used trigonometry and advanced mathematical calculations to predict solar and lunar eclipses. He referred to mathematical tables and made observations of celestial bodies to estimate their positions and movements accurately. His predictions were notable for their accuracy and were used by others for navigation and astronomical purposes.
When will people land on Mars does NASA have an estimate?

How could you find the direction North by looking at the night sky and its stars?
In the northern hemesphere u can find north by using the star Polaris in the constelation Ursa Minor. (Polaris is in fact a multi star system, not just one star)It is easily found by finding one of the most distinctive constelations Ursa Major or the Big Dipper. Take the two stars that make up the scoop part of the ladel (opposite the handle) and extend it up and you find to Polaris.
What is boiling point of water at 6000ft?
The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees F). The boiling point depends on a substance's vapor pressure, which in turn is dependent on pressure. So, at significant altitude (reduced pressure), water's boiling point drops. Decreased pressure at altitude lowers the temperature of boiling water by about six degrees C per 1000 meters (or about two degrees F per 1000 feet). This general formula can be used to estimate the boiling point at your altitude (for areas below sea level, add instead of subtract). For this reason, boxes of foods with boiling instructions will usually give 'high altitude cooking instructions.' The reason is that the temperature of boiling water is precisely 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and this is the temperature that the usual (sea level) directions expect. If the actual cooking temperature at your location, say at the top of a mountain, is only 192 degrees, then your food will need to cook significantly longer, if cooked 20 degrees cooler. This is also where the concept of the pressure cooker arose; cooks found that they could cook food hotter and faster using water, if the container was airtight enough to allow pressure to build.
What is the altitude for Nampa Idaho?
At the airport in Nampa, the altitude is 2537 feet MSL (mean altititude above sea level). Nampa is located in a relatively flat valley area (the treasure valley) along with Boise and Caldwell and other small towns. The variation in altitude in these surrounding areas is not great, so for a casual estimate, a this altitude is a good estimate for most of the area if the figure is not critical.
How many feet did the atomic bombs drop?
In very rough figures the B-29s were flying at about 30000 feet of altitude when they dropped the bombs and the bombs exploded at about 1500 feet of altitude. You can estimate from there.
How much does sonographer school cost?
I had one estimate for about 36,000 in Southern Ca.
How long is the Southern Ocean in Km?
Best estimate suggests 20,327,000 km2
How many islands are in southern Europe?
There are truly no given numbers are to how many islands are in Southern Europe. You can estimate, however. Southern Europe borders the Mediterranean Sea. This sea contains about 1,460 islands. Since most Mediterranean islands are located in Europe, it is safe to say that about 1,350-1,400 of these islands are in Southern Europe.
How much fuel does a 737 jet use in a hour?
That depends on a lot of factors such as cruising altitude, aircraft's payload, model of 737, etc. However generally 737's burns 30 kg/ minute. 1800 kg/hr is a very rough estimate, given aircraft's flying at optimum cruising altitude, etc.
How many miles can you travel with 40000 gallons of gas and an average of 4.5 mpg?
180000 miles. This only a very rough estimate. It does not take into account speed, incline, temperate or altitude, to name a few variables.
What was the life expectancy of an African slave working on a southern US plantation in the 1850s An estimate would be fine?
21 - 22 Years. THATS HORRIFIC!
How far is Atlanta from Dallas?
Dallas is about 720 miles from Atlanta in a straight line, or about 780 miles by road. An example of the nonstop flight times: Atlanta to Dallas = 1 hour 30 minutes (time zone earlier, headwinds at altitude) Dallas to Atlanta = 3 hours (time zone later, but tailwinds at altitude) One estimate of the driving time is 11 hours.
What is the population of italy in 08?
Italy is a sovereign republic in Southern Europe. In 2008 Italy's population was 60 millions. The population is now 6.07 millions according to a 2013 estimate.
How long does it take to drive from southern border of west Virginia to Caro Michigan?
The overall distance is about 561 miles. The estimate time it will take is about 8 hours and 48 minutes.
