It's possible it was what is called an Iridium Flare. [See related question]

There was one predicted for 20:23 on the 27th November at an altitude of 15o so it's quite possible that is what you saw.

See related question and link for more information.

How do you know that your camera is charging?

Normally on a digital small camera like the Nikon Coolpix S220 there is a power button and by that power button should be a small light, once plugged in the light should switch on and go red or green (sometimes yellow, amber or blue its depends on the company) If there is no light anyway that indicates anything then i suggest to search the brand and type of camera it is online or it might say something about the charging light in the manual... Hope this helps!

What does a flash on a camera do?

Old flash bulbs contained a lot of jumbled tungsten, zirconium or aluminum wire housed in an oxygen atmosphere that was rapidly burnt when the shutter was clicked. Early amateur cameras supplied the current by battery. Later, simple point and shoot cameras like the Kodak Instamatic used something other than a battery (probably a piezoelectric device like a barbecue starter, but I'm just guessing). The bulbs were blue coated to balance the light for color film, and some contained a blue dot to indicate the oxygen had not leaked out and been replaced by air. If an air contaminated bulb was used, it usually exploded. Some cave photographers prefer the flash bulb to an electronic strobe, claiming the quantity of light output is superior. However, bulbs are getting harder to find.


What color do you get when you mix dark blue and light blue?

BLUE!!!!! ----- The color (hue) will be a blue, but it depends on how your mixing what color you finally get. If mixing subtractively (like inks on paper) your colors are filtering the light that reflects off the page (we'll assume the light and the page is white). In this case "light blue" is a transparent blue and dark blue is blue and black, so the white light in the room will be both filtered by the pale blue and the dark blue. The pale blue removes some of the light which isn't blue, the dark blue removes a lot of the light - even some blue. None of this puts any light back, so the dark blue would dominate - you would get dark blue. If you were mixing light (additive mixing), dark blue is just a small amount of (dim) blue light and light blue is blue light with a bit less of all other colours in it (white). What you get then is the light blue, with just a little extra blue in it. Imagine a room in daylight and switching on a blue light-blub - would you notice the room becoming more "blue"? You'd probably still call it light-blue. If mixing opaque paints and you took a pale blue (blue+white) and very dull blue (blue+black) you would get a cool-blue-gray. You certainly wouldn't get back to a spectrum (saturated) blue.

How do you get radar you images?

An imaging radar works very like a flash camera in that it provides its own light to illuminate an area on the ground and take a snapshot picture, but at radio wavelengths. A flash camera sends out a pulse of light (the flash) and records on film the light that is reflected back at it through the camera lens. Instead of a camera lens and film, a radar uses an antenna and digital computer tapes to record its images. In a radar image, one can see only the light that was reflected back towards the radar antenna.
