There are never silly questions. A question is only easy if you know the answer.

If only every person had this kind of attitude! I asked a question on another forum recently, not astronomy related, and the people on there just ripped me to pieces and completely shot me down, funny thing was, this particular forum has a very prominent banner running along the top of every page stating how friendly this site is and how inflammatory and offensive behavior is not tolerated!

Anyways, sorry to go off topic!

I once saw a particularly bright and long lasting blue trail in the sky, was quite awe struck at the time, lasted around 4 seconds and was a brilliant blue colour. Never ceases to amaze me when I see something like that, even just seeing hundreds of stars through a telescope, in what appears to be an almost empty patch of sky.
