Super Giant Star: When I was a young star, younger than all of you, just about after was born. I was a small star, didn't have any idea of what was going on. I had a very surprisingly strong gravitational pull, pulling all sorts of gases. Having stronger gravity pulled more and more gas and dust to me. The inner layers of gas and dust start to warm from the pressure of the gas and dust above. Now the star's heat and light blows away the surrounding gas and dust, and then I could finally be seen in the nebula. What's the nebula? Well, it's kind of a cloud of gas and dust in outer space. When all you young stars get bigger, you will be just as big and bright as me!

Moon: Okay, when you come to visit me, you will be quite surprised with all my wonderful features! Yes, I may be small compared to planets, but I can be just as cool as them! I do have gravity, just not a lot. Compared to your home, Earth, I have about a sixth Earth's gravity. So when you walk, it will feel weird but it is so much fun! It's like you are on a giant trampoline! My surface is covered in thousands of craters, some big and some small. They are fun to explore. When you come you will see footsteps, those are all from people who have

For I have noticed that we all have begun to grow apart, slowly edging away from each other. I am also afraid that by the time you get my letter, It may be too late. As you know, the galactic post office takes 1,000,000 years to deliver to distant galaxies. And since you all are getting further away, I am sorry if the letter does not reach you in time. The universe is changing. In fact, galaxies are moving apart at an ever increasing rate. The gravitational attraction between two galaxies at that distance is too small to have a significant effect, so the galaxies more or less follow the general flow of the expansion. I hope the best from all of

    This type of star is very uncommon similar to the “B” and “A” stars. These stars get their energy from nuclear fusion, as they convert Hydrogen to Helium. As these massive stars begin to die once they’ve worn out their hydrogen and are now very old stars, they turn into giants/supergiants (old, large stars), resting just above the main sequence stars. This is where the “F” and “G” stars are located. The hotter they are, the brighter they are demonstrating the Sun being a G star.…

    I recently finished reading a published compilation of essays that you have written called “Death by Black Hole.” Before I read this book, I understood how big the universe was and how dangerous it was to an extent, but after reading this book my horizons have been broadened and I look at things differently than before.

I then proceeded to watch all of the episodes of “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” so I could soak up as much information as possible. Your essays paired with “Cosmos” has changed my worldview entirely.…

    It’s amazing how the same stars we look at today are the same ones, more or less, that all humanity has gazed upon. Plato, Queen Mary, Martin Luther King—the list is endless but these great historical figures have all seen the balls of light and gas that shine in the sky tonight. That’s all they are, floating matter in a vast, unknown space we call “outer space” simply because it resides outside the front door. Space. It envelopes us like an old, soft blanket with moth bites here and stains there.…

    Hypernovas are the deaths of massive stars and the formation of a black hole. They are larger than supernovas and are believed to be the origin of long gamma ray bursts. This violent explosion happens in a matter of seconds, but produces more energy in those seconds than the sun produces in its entire 9 billion year lifespan. Not a lot was known about hypernovas until 2003 when a massive gamma ray burst reached earth. This was identified as a hypernova and photographed.…

    Astronomers are not entirely sure what happens inside the whole galaxy but what has been found is super novas, formation of planets, flares, birthing stars. Supernovae are stars which reach the end of their life span, two things can occur in a supernova, the core can accumulate too much matter causing the explosion, the second reasoning is that the core runs out of nuclear fuel and starts sucking in its own mass, it then cannot withstand its own gravitational pull causing the explosion. Flares are a sudden but brief burst of bright flame or light. Flares are usually formed by a sun or bright star realising waves of energy creating the…
