Stellar Nebula Research Paper

Great Essays
Stellar Nebula : This is a cloud full of superheated gases. They range in size from millions of miles across to hundreds of light years across. This Nebula appears larger but is barely visible in the sky. Some Nebulas can be seen with a naked eye, this one can not because it does not glow as bright as others. This star isn’t as bright as others because it is larger. Red Supergiant : The Red Supergiant is a star with a supergiant luminosity class. The “red” part of Red Supergiant is because of the cool temperature, Red Supergiants are cool are large. Red Supergiants are much cooler than the sun but they are so large that they are highly luminous, which means that they are super bright.They are bright because of the temperature of the star. It can be larger than others because of its temperature as well. Neutron Star : …show more content…
These live shorter than most other stars in the galaxy. The Planetary Nebula is consisting of glowing shell of gas, and plasma formed. Some of these exist in the Milky Way Galaxy. This is an important star because they play a key role in the chemical evolution. Massive Star : Any star that is larger than eight solar masses is a massive star. Massive stars are formed just like any other star. If a cloud dust a large it will create a Massive star. When it collects enough mass it begins to get under its own gravity. The Massive star will rise to a high temperature, when this happens it will be big and

    A spiral galaxy is a certain kind of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae and, as such, forms part of the Hubble sequence. Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disc containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge.(Sloan) Spiral galaxies resemble spiraling pinwheels, nearly 77% of space consists of spiral galaxies. Though the stars and other visible material contained in such a galaxy lie mostly on a plane, the majority of mass in spiral galaxies exists in a roughly spherical halo of dark matter that extends beyond the visible component, as demonstrated by the universal rotation curve concept. In the Hubble classification scheme: Spiral galaxies…

    Fixtures of the northern sky, the Big and Little Dippers, swing around the North Star, Polaris, once a day or once every 23 hours and 56 minutes. Polaris marks the north celestial pole around which all the stars of the northern sky appears to rotate. It also marks the end of the Little Dipper’s handle and the whole constellation (Ursa Minor) is circumpolar, which means it’s always above the horizon in northern latitudes to as far south as the tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude). The Big Dipper is part of the larger constellation, Ursa Major. It ascends in the northeast on spring evenings and descends in the northwest on fall evenings.…

    Each of those galaxies contains billions of suns and countless worlds. But the whole part of the Virgo supercluster forms a small part of our universe. Copernicus had a proposal that the Earth was not in the center it was just one of the planets that revolve around the sun. The universe is unbounded and the cosmos must be infinite. Ten years after Bruno was killed Galileo looked in the telescope and realized that he was right the Milky Way was made of countless stars and worlds invisible to the naked eye.…

    I learned quite a bit from the H-R diagram. I chose the star Bellatrix, and for starters, I never even knew a star named Bellatrix even existed. I can see that my star is about 30,000 K. 30,000 K means it roughly 5 times hotter than the sun. I know that Bellatrix is spectral type B by looking at the bottom of H-R diagram. Spectral type B's are a light shade of blue.…

    As the core grew, the supernova occurred, leaving behind what astronomers called a neutron star, a compact star entirely made of neutrons and very dense, to the point of forcing out the space between atoms. This was supported by the detection of the Neutrinos by an underground detector in Japan. Just as amazing as the mystery of the origin of SN1987A, is the story behind its…

    While most of the radiation emitted from a "normal" galaxy is in the form of visible light, like that of the radiation of ordinary stars, AGNs are prominent across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Thus, astronomers needed to look beyond the visual regime to see their full potential. Recent technological advancements, such as satellite deployment, have enabled astronomers to explore energies once unattainable. In addition to the showing in a wide range of energies, AGNs also change in brightness on time scales from minutes to decades. It's no wonder then that some stars once thought to be variable, such as W Comae, AP Librae, and BL Lacertae, were in fact AGN.…

    The Atomic Model

    Scientists believe that stars are made of mostly gas, and this gas is made up of many atoms. In the star, the atoms in the gas bang into each other and give off different light depending on the type of atoms. This light from stars enables scientists to figure out the type and amount of atoms they are made of. Knowing the composition of the stars, we can guess how they were formed. Therefore we can see that stars are just atoms (hydrogen) hitting each other producing light.…

    The Nebular Hypothesis is a theory about how our Solar System was formed. It is the theory that our Solar System was formed from massive clouds of gas and dust. Then, for some reason over the span of billions of years, the cloud collapsed in on itself. The denser areas of the cloud started to pull in more matter and started to rotate. The pressure caused it to get hotter and hotter until it created the Sun.…
