Death Star

tilt of 23.5 degrees relative to the “ecliptic plane” the imaginary surface formed by its almost circular path around the sun the tilt towards the sun is maximised during northern hemisphere summer in late June the summer solstice. There are so much stars in the galaxy that some of them we can not discover in the universe.At night you can see some of the milky way. The sun is actually closest to the Northern hemisphere in winter not summer and the sun is always closest to the Northern…

morning star. But then Goofy started to run as if he wanted to show something. Zhana followed him up to the hill, realising that something spectacular was about to happen. An illuminated figure threw a twig that Goofy ran to catch it. As Zhana looked up to the sky, a flying dish was rumbling. In one lightning move, it dwindled to the vanishing…

Entry 5: For the analysis of Public Women, we focused on the era of the early to mid 1800s. Specifically we read the speech of Angelina E. G. Weld. She stood in front of a large audience of curious southerners to address the controversial subject of slavery. This was her first break at becoming a public woman. She confronted the stereotypes of a woman’s place in the industrializing American country and found a space, her public, to exhibit her strengths and opinions. Weld did this by not…

the study of heavenly bodies, as they considered celestial bodies to be divine. Travelers at that time relied on the knowledge of the stars to guide them around. Later on Muslims adopted…

Rotation is the action of moving an object around a center and this concept is fully shown in the movie “The Martian”. The rotation however depends on the concept of angular momentum, which is the rotational analog of linear momentum. This quantity is and will be the same for any rotating object and will not change unless it is ever impacted with an external force. In this case per say the Earth or Mars, rotating about its axis the physical quantity will always be conserved. Thus poses the…

that was covered was the following: S4E1. Students will compare and contrast the physical attributes of stars, star patterns, and planets. a. Recognize the physical attributes of stars in the night sky such as number, size, color and patterns. b. Compare the similarities and differences of planets to the stars in appearance, position, and number in the night sky. c. Explain why the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same, but a planet can be seen in different locations at different…

classification of stars and continues to do so in today’s time. Annie Jump Cannon’s legacy will carry on lasting a lifetime! The first letters of each word in the phrase represents the seven main types of stars. Starting with ”‘O,” these stars are very young, blue, hot, massive and extremely bright star. 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…

Nasa’s spitzer and Hubble space telescopes have discovered a massive galaxy creating more and more new stars. The way that this massive cluster has been formed so quickly is by feeding off gases from other galaxies. Tracy Webb of McGill University explained that usually a star in the center of a galaxy is old and dead, but this new cluster within this rare galaxy is creating new stars very quickly by merging with other smaller galaxies. Clusters are families of galaxies bound together by the…

Brianna Susnak Mini-Project #1 1. The six steps of the formation of the solar system are: • Gravitational collapse—the protostellar cloud collapses into a rotating disk. This disk increases in temperature and rotation rate, due to the conservation of energy and angular momentum. The rotating cloud is flattened into a disk, and the materials in the disk move in a circular motion. The material in this disk forms planets that orbit in the same way that the material from which they are formed…

universe Imagine a star between four and eight times the mass of our sun exploding into a supernova. Next imagine watching the inner core condense into a sphere due to the enormous gravity of the star like there’s a new star forming in its place. This new star is so dense it smashes electrons and protons together forming neutrons which form a neutron star. This is the recipe for a pulsar. There are several types of neutron stars but this essay will highlight pulsars. When the star explodes it…
