Each morning I appear To lie at your feet All day I will follow No matter how fast you run Yet I nearly perish In the midday sun?

A morning shadow is cast at your feet, but as the day progresses and the sun rises higher in the sky, the shadow shortens and almost disappears in the midday sun.


Are the stars that make up the constellation near each other?

Not necessarily. A constellation is more properly thought of as a direction from the Earth, rather than a region of space. Stars that are in the same direction appear to be part of the same "picture", but one may be more distant from the other. As an extreme example, the star 61Cyg in the constellation Cygnus is about 11 light-years from Earth, while the apparently nearby Deneb (also in Cygnus) is 3200 light-years away. Deneb is essentially "behind" 61Cyg, so they appear to be in the same region of the sky, even though they are very far from each other.


What is a pair of stars which appear to form a double star but do not?

A "binary star" is the word used for two stars that orbit each other around their common center of mass. For example, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B are a "binary star" that is the 2nd closest stars to our Sun. (The red dwarf Proxima Centauri is a little closer, but is so dim that it is invisible to the naked eye.)Two stars that appear to be very close to each other in the sky but are at different distances are a "double star". They aren't associated with each other; they are merely in the same direction.

In the game uncharted drakes fortune how do you pass the level in the library?

I did it,but I forgot how. It has something to do with turning the statues that are in the wrong place a certain direction. Look in the journal, each picture has a name under it. On the opposite page, the names are written on the points of a compass. Look at the compass on the floor and turn each statue to face in the direction indicated in the journal.

What is 30 degrees north and 70 degrees east?

If you look at a compass, it points north. Each mark is one degree, and there are 360 on a compass, so 30 degrees east of north means that you head towards the thirtieth park to the east (right) of north. On a watch, if 12 o'clock is north, then 1 o'clock is thirty degrees east of it.
