Death Star

Stellar Dawning Coalescence The early Universe was filled with roaming clouds of gas, namely hydrogen, and dust. In many cases, the ingredients for stars laid dormant for millions, perhaps billions of years until an event disturbed them ("Star birth", 2013). As Isaac Newton states in his first law of motion, “An object will stay at rest or travel at a constant velocity until acted on by a force,” and the same remains true even at the massive scales of the Universe. These clouds of gas and dust…

I would like to gain knowledge regarding galaxies, black holes, and exoplanets. A galaxy is a system that contains millions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravitational attraction. A black hole is a place in space where the gravitational force is immense, making the escape of matter and radiation impossible. An exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star, other than the sun, beyond our solar system. By choosing these targets, I wish to learn about how the first galaxies were formed, why…

Have you ever wondered how stars are formed, how massive they are, or even how they perish. 1. Well most massive stars are the shortest lived.2. A star's life expectancy depends on its size. 3.Most star’s take millions of years to perish. We should be learning about stars because stars are something that most humans don't know about, most don't know how they form, how they perish, or even how massive they are. Most massive stars are the shortest lived. A star's life expectancy depends on its…

As a young girl, my neighborhood friend and I would stargaze consistently throughout the summer. We would lay on her trampoline, look at the stars, and have detailed conversations about space. While we were lying down in the palpable darkness, we would identify as many constellations as possible. Although, the main night that stands out to me, was when her father brought his telescope outside to give us a close viewing of Jupiter. That moment still affects me today since I have continued to…

Quod phoenix est ut incenderent existo.’-The phoenix must burn to emerge. In accordance to this statement everything in this cosmos at one point of time must be reborn to emerge stronger than ever. There is a specific period in life when humans at a certain time become retrospective. Rebirth or The Renaissance during the Quattrocento period in Italy epitomized this phenomenon. Classical antiquity and the interest and learning that accompanied it was reborn after the Middle Ages in a period…

The Kepler Telescope main instrument is a photometer. This instrument measures the brightness of stars within its field of view. Data is then gathered and analyzed to detect any variations or deviations of light which is caused by the transits of plants of host stars. These dips in light help in detecting planets in "Habitable Zones". Gliese-581g The planet Gliese 581g is one of six possible planets in the constellation Libra. This exoplanet was discovered in late September 2010. The main reason…

The constellation is easy to find in the sky because it is located near the centre of the Milky Way. It contains a number of notable stars and deep sky objects, which makes it easier to find. The three main stars it contains are Antares, Shaula, and In Greek mythology, the constellation Scorpius was identified with the scorpion that killed Orion, the mythical hunter. The two constellations lie opposite each other in the sky, and Orion is said to be fleeing from the scorpion as it sets just as…

HOW THE SUN CAME TO BE By Coleton Frizzle Long ago before the Sun was a huge star, it was a normal day until the smallest star ever born. Its name was “Sun.” Everyday Sun tried to talk to the other stars, all they did was laugh and say. “Look it’s midget man! The smallest star in-the galaxy!” All Sun could do was bow down his head and say nothing. One day the Sun ran into Sundray, the biggest star of them all, and his guards, the planets. “Look who it is, its Sun the smallest of them all…

our understanding of black holes. In 2015 a star 25x the size of our sun was supposed to explode into a huge supernova but it got crushed under it's own weight and became a new black hole and that is the only black hole we have seen form in record. Our universe would be really different if we didn't have black holes so i'm going to tell you about how the universe would be different. The first way that the universe would be different is that the stars would be so much different because they…

disappearance of ships over the horizon, the tops of the sails disappearing last. There was also the shape of the curved shadows of the earth on the moon during eclipses and the variation of the star’s elevation with latitude. The fact that one sees new stars as ones move north or south on the earth’s surface was a backing to this idea. Another one, which most wouldn’t guess would be elephants. When someone travels west from Greece, they find elephants (African). When someone travels East…
