    • 3 Pages

    laid asphalt. The Exoplanet is two times less reflective than our own moon, which has an albedo of 0.12. WASP-12b orbits a sun like star named WASP-12A, which is about 1400 light years away. The Exoplanet's radius is almost twice the size of Jupiter and has a year of over just one earth day. WASP-12b is categorized as a hot Jupiter. Because it is so close to its parent star, WASP-12b has been stretched into an egg shape and its surface temperature is 2600 degrees Celsius. Astronomers think the…

    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…

    There are many astronomers out there, but the one person that stood out to me was Edwin Hubble. It is because of Edwin, we now have a better understanding on the distance in the universe and that it’s expanding. His research was very remarkable that he had a telescope with his name. Since Edwin established the scale of the universe and laid the observational basis, he helped us understand what are galaxies like in the universe. To start off, Edwin noticed a Cepheid variable in the Andromeda…

    wonder has fascinating stars that captivate your attention when you take the time to focus upon it. Location South and away from the Milky Way's band lies the constellation Delphinus the Dolphin. This tiny grouping of stars lies in the transition zone from that of the summer star filled skies to that of the sparse autumn skies. Once you have located Delphinus in the night sky, turn your telescope towards Gamma (y) Delphinus' snout. His snout is one of the most amazing double stars in the…

    Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram, or the temperature of stars relative to its luminosity, the theoretical H-R diagram. Stars have specific evolutionary stages based on their initial mass, dictating its internal structure and means of energy production. The phases in stellar evolution correspond to alterations in luminosity and temperature. There are three main regions present on the diagram, the most dominant is the main sequence which is where approximately 90% of all known stars lie and extends from…

    fully understood, it is believed that it is a spirling column of gas, similar to a hurricane. The Great Red spot is not alone on Jupiter, in 2005, a miniature red spot was formed, causing a disturbance of three large white oval clouds. According to Stars and Planets by Ian Ridpath and Wil Tirion, “the increased size of the merged ovals is thought to have created a sufficient disturbance to dredge up reddish material from deeper in the atmosphere.” This gave astronomers…

    These ranges fall along the boundary between bands for radio and microwave electromagnetic spectrum, and have longer wavelengths than optical light. This band of light allows astronomers to probe the dark cores of gas clouds to study the formation of stars and planet, and see a very distant light that was shifted to the red end of the spectrum. The electronic detector is called "front end" that amplifies and converts the radio signals received by each antenna ALMA should be kept to a cooling 4…

    The planet Jupiter is one of the five objects to be visible from Earth in the solar system. Of these bodies it is the second largest behind the sun. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System with a mass of 1.899x1027kg orbiting at 5.2AU from the Sun. Jupiter is orbited by 67 moons of which the first four are called the Galilean moons as of their discovery in 1614 by Galileo. Jupiter formed about 4.6billion years ago from the cloud of dust and gas that made up the early Solar System.…

    • 3 Pages

    Some people usually have a confused look on them whenever they hear the word Parallax. Parallax or image focus adjustment accomplishes two things; focuses the image on the scope and allows the shooter to estimate the distance to the target. The parallax is an adjustment where the focal plane of the rifle scope is offset to the target while looking through the scopes reticle. The parallax is basically an optical illusion needing correction and should not be confused with the focus. Changing a…
