Death Star

I have always been fascinated with the night sky and have enjoyed looking up at it without the light pollution. While living in Las Vegas I would have to commute at least an hour past Red Rock or Valley of Fire to escape the bright lights of the city. Since moving to a small town I have been able to enjoy watching the moons and her phases, meteor showers, and seeing where the constellations are in the night sky. William Herschel was a German composer, teacher, and musician residing and…

the formation of planets based on our current scientific understanding. a) Star and planet formation starts inside a collapsing cloud of gas and dust inside a bigger cloud called a nebula. Because of gravity pulling materials in the collapsing cloud closer together, the center of the cloud gets increasingly more compressed and because of this get hotter. The dense hot core of this collapsing cloud becomes the kernel of a new star. b) Next motions inside the cloud cause it to start churning. As…

The influence high mass stars have on our Universe is that they create and affect many other bodies in space. For example, when they explode, they create supernovas and eventually those supernovas create black holes. They also are very beautiful and powerful. A high mass star starts out in a nebula and is created by the matter that lies in the nebula. When the hydrogen gas is forced together due to gravity, the star begins to spin and reach extreme temperatures. It gets so hot that it begins…

astronomer Mercedes Richards. This astronomer love stars and studying on the history about them. When she was a little girl that’s all her farther would take her out to see was the beautiful stars floating in the midnight sky. But there is a certain kind of star Mrs. Richards studied in her system which is called Binary stars name after a prototype. She always makes sure people around the world understand the socialization with her and the stars and the descriptions on them. Astronomer Mercedes…

Nothing, not even light is able to escape a black hole because of its strong gravitational pull. Black holes are the last great stage in enormous stars lifetimes that had been as big as ten to fifteen Suns. With zero force of gravity the black hole sucks up light from such a star. The light from the star then gets stuck in an orbit. Which that dark star then turns into a black hole. Matter and energy are pulled from the black…

They could be confused with supernovae, but they surround a star. Supernovae are bright when they first are formed and normally spread a hundred light-years across (Arnett). The explosion could be seen in the sky but it would more like a star because of distance between the earth and the nova. Dark nebulas block light from surrounding stars and join with reflective and emission nebulas(Arnett). Reflective are normally blue in color but are not as big…

Star Formations Every star you see at night in the sky is bigger and brighter than our sun. Stars are born within clouds of dust and gas that is spread throughout most every galaxy. The life of a star includes many stages from nebulas to the mysterious black holes. Stars are responsible for the creation and circulation of heavy elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The elements characteristics are informally bound to the characteristics of the planetary systems that may consolidate…

Since the first planet orbiting a star other than our Sun was discovered almost 20 years ago, astronomers have detected over 3,000 exoplanets. Going forward, exoplanetary scientists have two major goals: detecting smaller, more Earth-like planets, and characterizing particular planets of interest. With the advent of the extremely large telescope (ELT) era soon approaching, these two goals will become increasingly intertwined as better instruments give us the power to study the atmospheres of…

used as fuel. The 100% energy release of annihilation gives off a lot of power. If an effective way of containing the antimatter to use as fuel was found, travel time could be greatly reduced. “If we use antimatter as fuel, we could get to the nearest star in only two years” (RealLifeLore). This could have a huge impact on how scientists discover planets. Although they cannot do this now, they are learning about antimatter a lot and now know how to store…
