Andromeda Galaxy

Title: Perseus Quest Theme: perseverance Concept: will be based on a myth, Perseus and Medusa. It would be a game that relies on moral choices to progress through the story. The main character will be Perseus, and to reach certain areas, vanquish enemies, or progress, you must rely on choices that will become available once you reach a certain point/marker. It would make for a compelling game since you will be the one to influence Perseus to make moral decisions within the game. The game will…

understand what are galaxies like in the universe. To start off, Edwin noticed a Cepheid variable in the Andromeda Nebula which is known to astronomers as M31. For Edwin to obtain his photographs, he used Mount Wilson 100-inch telescope. Once he found his variables and determined their periods and visible magnitudes, he used a technique which is called: “Leavitt’s period-luminosity…

Cepheid Variable Stars are large and luminous yellow stars in space known to sporadically change size and temperature resulting in pulsing variations in brightness and thus, inconsistent levels of luminosity. There are two types of Cepheid Variable Stars; Type 1 Cepheids (or classical) which are high mass stars with smaller pulsating periods and Type 2 Cepheids which are lower mass stars with greater pulsation periods. All Cepheid Variable Stars, named after the first observed star of this type,…

The universe today is huge. Scientists and Astronomers are finding new galaxies, planets asteroids, and more. But today, that's not what we are going to talk about. We’re going to talk about galaxies. Have you ever wondered what a galaxy really is? In the early 1900s, astronomers . Astronomers argued about spiral shaped, gas, dust were getting closer to discovering galaxiessome star vast cloud found in the night sky. In 1919, Edwin Hubble, an astronomer found the answers. Hubble used his…

vast amount of galaxies of various shapes and sizes. A galaxy is defined as a system of millions or billions of stars with gas and dust held together by gravitational attraction. There are several types of galaxy types: elliptical, spiral and irregular. Spiral galaxies are galaxies which usually have a large mass in the middle with arms branching off of it containing stars and star systems (Swinburne University of Technology, n.d.). All of the objects orbiting the centre of the galaxy must…

Galactic cannibalism, Galaxy harassment, Galaxy collision and Satellite interaction are some different kinds of interaction between galaxies. Interacting galaxies, which is the collective term, are in general the circumstance when two or more galaxies gravitational fields interact with each other causing different effects or different levels of disturbance in the gravitational fields depending on things such as size, speed and more. The word collision that both documentaries and scientists have…

of this is the following: the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way is called the Andromeda Galaxy. It is just over two and a half million light years away, which means that the light we see from there is just over two and a half million years old because this is the distance between us and the Andromeda Galaxy. Now imagine those numbers written out. Wait, don’t even attempt it, I’ll write them for you. The nearest galaxy to our Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy. It is just over…

Way is a barred spiral galaxy, which looks like a pinwheel. At times, people can look up to the sky and see the faint band of light, the glow of stars in the galaxy’s disk, which gave the Milky Way its name. The galaxy is of an average size, 100,000 light-years across and 1,000 light-years deep. It contains about 500 billion stars and many planets. The center of the galaxy contains a supermassive black hole, which is the cause of our galaxies spiral space. Within the galaxy, there are four main…

The messier galaxy is galaxy that is seventeen million light years away. This galaxy can be seen in the constellation Hydra. This galaxy is a spiral pinwheel galaxy and is also one of the brightest galaxies in the sky. The galaxy messier 83 was founded in February 23 in 1752 by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. Lacaille found the Messier 83 galaxy off of the Cape of Good Hope. In March of 1781 Charles Messier added this galaxy to his catalog of nebulas objects, known as the messier catalog. Later on…

Universe 1. Galaxies can be as large as a few thousand to several hundreds of thousands of light years across. 2. Astronomers, at the time this was released, believe that there are over a hundred billion galaxies in the universe. 3. It is estimated that a light year is 5.88 trillion miles. 4. Galaxies come in three different main type shapes. There are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. 5. Spiral galaxies usually have a large flat disk… 6. Lenticular are similar to spiral galaxies except…
