    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…

    The star outside your spaceship's windshield is a spectacular sight. HR 5171 A is a fireball 1,300 times larger than the Earth's sun. It's so big that if it were in our sun's position, it would swallow up Earth beneath its 10,000°F surface. To look at it from your spaceship, you have to wear special goggles--this star is almost a million times brighter than our sun. As you watch HR 5171A burn, you notice something strange. An object is peeking over the horizon, growing larger and larger. It's…

    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.…

    Parallax Camera Angles

    • 587 Words
    • 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…

    a 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…

    Researches have located a truly colossal black hole at the heart of the recently discovered galaxy known as SAGE0536AGN. The oddly enormous supermassive black hole is approximately thirty times larger than it should be and astronomers cannot seem to figure out why. Researchers from U.K.’s Keele University and the University of Central Lancashire have recently discovered a new black hole that defies all logic. The galaxy, which houses this supermassive black hole, was discovered using NASA’s…

    For such a star, the spectrum would be dominated by Blue-optical and UV lines, which make HST the best-qualified telescope to observe such line (He II) at  = 4686 A. Therefore, I propose to conduct a 1ks STIS exposure time directly over the central star of NGC 6543. The goal of this observation is to address the question of whether NGC 6543 has another companion by showing that a…
