Dwarf

the neighborhood around its orbit. A dwarf planet is also a celestial body that orbits the sun, has a certain mass, but has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and is not a satellite. This is what we use to classify planets but we don’t have an actual definition for the word planet. Pluto has been a part of our solar system for a long time now, but the question is Pluto a planet is still upon us. Some consider Pluto a planet and some consider it a dwarf planet. By using Kepler’s Third…

In 1906 Percival Lowell, who was a wealthy Bostonian who founded Lowell Observatory, started a search for a ninth planet in our solar system which he called planet X. But as Percival was looking for it he died in 1916 with no prevail, he had gotten pictures but planet X was very faint in the pictures, and so after 10 years the search for the planet began again but this time a 23 year old astronomer named Clyde Tombaugh who proved the existence of the mysterious planet in 1930; the planet was…

here on Earth. There are hundreds upon thousands of stars that take on many different sizes and colors. Depending on the size of the star from its birth, the star could take two paths at the end of its life: turn into a nebula leaving behind a white dwarf, or the star could burst in a fierce supernova explosion. Either road the star chooses to go on, determined by the mass of course, the process still takes billions of years. The life cycle of a star, although lengthy, is the rawest and most…

Solar cores of high temperatures, generate energy quicker, therefore higher temperature stars are more luminescent. Stars located on the main sequence, referred to as “dwarfs”, must generate power through hydrogen and helium nuclear fusion in their solar core and be in thermal equilibrium, the balance between luminosity and energy generation, and hydrostatic equilibrium, equality between pressure and gravity. Following…

is a planet! No, Pluto is not a planet! The science community ignored what other people had to say about why Pluto should be a planet. Yet, the discoverer classified Pluto as a planet, but the IAU ripped his finding apart, and reclassified it as a dwarf planet. Pluto lost its title "planet" due to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) definition of planet, but NASA is still receiving new information from New Horizons. Pluto was a "planet" that wasn't discovered until 1930 by, Clyde…

Mike Brown 2003. In 2014 Mike Brown debunks Dwarf Stars causing these unusual orbits, that in fact it was this mystery Planet causing this major discrepancy. That’s when Brown teams up with Caltech, Batygin to help with making solar modules to figure out a pattern with the orbits of the objects to see why they were orbiting like this. “Yet the allure of Planet X persisted. In the 1980s, for example, researchers proposed that an unseen brown dwarf star could cause periodic extinctions on…

Pluto is known as “dwarf planet” in the planetary system. Also, it’s called the “Dwarf Planet” because of its size. It could be called a “plutoid” because it’s farther out into space. Pluto is occasionally closer to the sun than other times because of the oval orbit. Pluto has five moons, which are Kerberos, Styx, Nix, Hydra, and Charon. Because of the New Horizons information and pictures this data has helped scientists learn more about Pluto. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an astronomer…

The universe What is the universe? How big is it? What is all part of the universe? These may be questions that you probably wonder when you read something about a planet or learn from a science book. The universe is so big that it is hard for people to understand just how big it is. The meaning of the universe is all existing matter and space considered as a whole. (Davies, Luke. "How Big Is the Universe?" How Big Is the Universe? N.p., 5 Oct. 2015. Web. 09 May 2016. Website) How gigantic is…

The purpose of the lab was to fully understand the Herztsprung-Russel diagram. We use this diagram to categorize stars with their stellar properties. By examining a star’s temperature, relative size, and luminosity for instance, you can plot them on an HR diagram. During the lab we did four different activities to understand the lab. The first was to look at a group of squares with different sizes, letters, color, and numbers. We categorized them based on color and then in order from smallest…
