Andromeda Galaxy

On a clear and dark night from a position with low levels of pollution, the Andromeda Galaxy can be easily observed in the sky by the unaided eye, even though it is about 2.5 million light-years away from Earth. The unaided eye, however, can only perceive the galaxy as a whole and is unable to distinguish features within the galaxy. Luckily, microscopes combined with the intellect of many bright astronomers over the years have allowed us to better understand what the human eye cannot see, in particular what lies beyond the Milky Way Galaxy in our neighboring galaxy. This paper will focus on some of the recent discoveries and observations on the Andromeda Galaxy that have been key in helping our planet comprehend what lies beyond us. Recently,…

The universe is very big. It could be infinite, we aren't sure exactly how big it is because it is still growing. It is home to countless stars, planets, galaxies, and nebulae. Everything is so far apart. For instance, our moon is 238,900 miles away from the Earth. It is about twice as many miles that someone might walk in eighty years, assuming they walk about 7,500 steps every day. The closest galaxy to us is the Andromeda Galaxy, it is approximately 2.9 million light years away. As long as…

NASA has recently discovered a new planet Yelger in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is the right distance from the sun to support life. It is the same size and mass as Earth. It takes 700 Earth days to revolve around the sun(360 on Earth), and takes 20 Earth hours to rotate around its axis(24 on Earth). It’s temperatures are about the same as on Earth, and has a tilt of 45º. It’s moon is the same distance away from Earth but it twice the mass and size. Because Yelger takes 20 hours to rotate on it’s…

Between Two Galaxies The show opens with Marina in her quarters humming a tune while crafting a self-portrait. Some other drawings are hung up; others lay across her desk or in piles on the floor. None of the other portraits are of her, it’s a healthy variety of artistic musings. Her musings are less than inspirational as her life and surroundings are the epitomai of monotony. Marina's humming picks up in volume as she is seen about her day. Marina is in Sick Bay organizing medical…

It has intense ultraviolet radiation from the luminous, massive stars (Howell). One of the brightest regions found inside the Triangulum Galaxy is the NCG 604. It is about 1,500 light years away, which makes it one of the largest discovered in the Local Group. One of the brightest regions found inside the Triangulum Galaxy is the NCG 604. It is about 1,500 light years away, which makes it one of the largest discovered in the Local Group. It has about 200 blue stars and about 100 times bigger…

Hubble identified a type of “variable star” called a Cepheid in the Andromeda nebula, or known today as the Andromeda galaxy. Hubble was able to discover several of these Cepheids, along with other objects, .and was able to calculate the distance to them from the Milky-Way. Hubble was able to detect nine other new galaxies. Later, in 1925, Hubble came up with a galaxy classification system, which breaks down, or classifies galaxies. Hubble continued to work with galaxies, discovering the…

Mass Effect: Andromeda is a pretty awesome space exploration game where you play as John Smith from Pocahontas. Today, Bioware released a video showing off different components of the game such as weapons and different skills the player can equip. The video starts off by showing off a more fluid movement in the moment to moment gameplay. We see Ryder swiftly dart into battle using a jetpack, and using the same jetpack to distance herself from enemies. Players can also take the high ground and…

To humans who live on Earth, we perceive Earth as a large mass of land that has been around for about 4.6 billion years. But the Earth is only a small part of what makes up the Universe. Earth is located in the Milky Way Galaxy, and contains billions of stars, which is only a small fraction of the 100 billion galaxies. While the Universe has been around for roughly 13.82 billion years, everyday we learn more and more about the complexities that were once hidden from us. One of the main things…

Some kind of “stamina goal” could be set before battling Medusa. As a mini boss, Cetus, the sea monster creature that guards Andromeda, could be added – or could be even defeated by Andromeda herself when Perseus is in danger of failing, and stamina would be still won from the confrontation. ‘Acquire more provisions to last until you reach the Gorgon lair’ Strength: Another element that challenges the player to be alert of. It even can give the possibility of dying before accomplishing the…

and for the examples I will list below, you can see why in most cases, there’s nothing to fear on Earths end. Normal sized galaxies; such as the Milky Way galaxy, can contain an estimated 400 billion stars. In someone’s mind who knows nothing about Astronomy, they think that the larger the amount of stars, the more crowded the galaxy is. The truth is, that stars and planets are so far apart, the chances of them colliding with each other are small. That…
