18 Apparent Motion

Decent Essays
Catherine McKay Block E

17/18 Apparent motion is what we can see of the stars moving, not involving the rotation and movement of earth. Actual motion is the movement of how planets, stars, and other sky objects actually move, involving the Earth’s movements and backed up with scientific research. They both involve the movement of all objects in the sky, and how they move or how we think they move.

19/20 If you were camping on a weekend night, you would probably see way more stars than in the city because there is no sky pollution. Depending on what season it is, you could probably see some constellations and circumpolar constellations.

    For this assignment I've chosen Orion (The Hunter) and I've chosen this one because my mother had always pointed this one out whenever we could see him. Orion is just one of the constellations located on the celestial equator and is visible throughout the world. Orion's current name derives from Greek mythology. Its brightest stars are Rigel (Beta Orionis) and Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis), a blue-white and a red Supergiant. Orion's name derives from Greek Mythology, in which Orion was a gigantic, inhumanly strong hunter of ancient times born to Euryale, a Gorgon and Poseidon (Neptune), god of the sea in the Graeco-Roman tradition.…

    The Big Dipper is the first constellation I learned to identify as a child. Though I made up stories and constellations as I stared into the velvety darkness, the Big Dipper was the only "real" one I knew. This constellation is one of the easiest to find, as well as being one of the few that can be spotted year-round in North America. It is also part of another constellation, Ursa Major. Another advantage to being able to point out is that it also becomes easy to find Polaris, the North Star.…

    As the star begins to move, its brightness will increase and decrease as observed from Earth. Furthermore, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is being developed to detect extremely faint signals in infrared light. The telescope contains microshutters able to observe up to 100 objects at the same time (“About the James Webb Space Telescope”). Once launched, the telescope will rest at the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrange point, 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth. This location, combined with its infrared design, will allow the JWST to view the youngest galaxies of our universe (“How does the Webb Contrast with Hubble?”).…

    WAR MATHS- PROJECTILE MOTION Sun Tzu, the man whose name is famed by the phrase, the art of war, once said “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and seek to win. ” which means victors were the ones who calculated and analyzed their opposition and factors that would ensure their victory. Cannons and catapults in my view, were the earliest form of artillery used for fighting wars with great separation distances between the parties at war. Bows and Arrows also were sure to level the battlefield if the enemies were caught unaware, securing a victory in war without swords engaging. The concepts or methods of fighting required a parabolic trajectory launch to fly a greater distance and reach the…
