Astronomers found that Seyfert 1 type galaxies sometimes dim and flare by 50% or more in only a month or so. The variations imply that the size of the object could be no larger than a light-month in diameter (Finkbeiner 1992). The popularity of radio astronomy in the 1950s unveiled yet more astronomical puzzles. One of the first enigmas was the radio galaxy. While unassuming at optical wavelengths, these bodies, which consisted of a pair of extended radio lobes on either side of an elliptical…

line exposure of the moon’s rock interior can aid scientists to conclude if the actual tidal forces encouraged the moon’s geological activity or some unforeseen heat source is keeping the moon geologically active. These fault scarps also inspire amateur and professional astronomers alike to continue meticulously studying the moon, slowly peeling away one shrouded mystery after…

Pioneers have applied crowdsourcing in many areas, such as astronomy, journalism, ornithology, genealogy research, genetic genealogy research and public policy. Apparently crowdsourcing is not new, it is active and dynamic in various fields. Companies are increasing turn to crowdsourcing in order to get problem solving…

All frequency bands between 9 kHz and 275 GHz are strategically allocated to avoid interference with sensitive systems such as aircraft navigation, radio astronomy and search and rescue operations. For example, 88 – 108 MHz is used to broadcast FM radio to your car and 824-849 MHz is reserved for cell phones. 5.8 and 2.4 GHz are the two most common frequency bands available to non-military drone pilots. These…

and roads to connect their empires. They performed brain surgery, had an advanced methods of accounting and were the masters of the stone work. In addition, they had an enormous advantage in architecture making the eastern civilizations look like amateurs when it came to the construction of roads, bridges, and terraces. The invention of chinampas, gun and a 360 days calendar is attributed to these influential civilizations. Like the African civilizations the American Civilizations constructed…

“Over one year the Sun appears to us on Earth to follow a route through twelve-star constellations we call the Zodiac. If there is this dark star—or whatever it is because at this stage we don't know—coming in, then the evidence points to its current location at the feet of Virgo.” Karl paused to check his supervisor's reaction. “That's where we would see it if we could. It might be a brown dwarf.” Michael raised his eyebrows and frowned. The table gave a threatening creak as he shifted his…

Carl Sagan was a well-known astronomer who studied extraterrestrial intelligence advocated for nuclear disarmament. Growing up Sagan developed a passion for astronomy (Moore). Michael Shermer received his B.A. in psychology and his M.A. in experimental psychology. He taught a course for Ph.D. students on Evolution, Economics, and the Brain. He was head of one of America’s leading skeptic organizations (Shermer). Shermer is more rhetorically effective than Sagan in his reading because he goes…

to 1939(Timeline). Hepburn said that it was terrifying but a good lesson in independence, she liked the students and teachers but not the process of learning, she could never sit still for hours on end. Her favorites were history, mythology, and astronomy but hated anything to do with arithmetic. She found school very boring and dull and was happy when she finished. There was always one lesson Audrey loved and anticipated: the day where a ballet master would teach a dance class for all the…
