Elliptical galaxy

Something pulls at my heart when I look into the stars. Something in the great beyond pulls at me, calling me, begging me to claim it as my own. Something in the great nothingness that envelopes our tiny planet is beckoning me. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it’s a fool’s hallucination, the manifestation of a child’s dream. Maybe it is a call that was meant to be answered by men and women far greater than I’ll ever be. Maybe the signal got lost on it’s way to find Earth’s next great hero and instead…

in and around the universe like the plants, animals are all made of dust, even the composition of our bodies is made of this dust. These atoms are seen as the interstellar startups of the universe. This material is constantly spread throughout the galaxy by comets, dyeing stars, solar storms, and other means of massive disbursement of this elemental material. Many scientists have be waiting for many years just to get a glimpse of some the first samples, to come back to earth since the…

The most famous celestial bond, except for the rings of Saturn, is the Ring Nebula or also known as M57. The Ring Nebula is 2,000 light years away and as seen on Earth the nebula looks like a donut-like ring wrapped around the middle of a football shaped cloud of glowing gas. It’s about one light year across and the glowing light the Ring Nebula produces is not coming from the planets but rather from the hot central star ionizes atoms in the gas forming intense ultraviolent light. As seen…

the poles of a collapsing star, these are formed from very intense explosions in distant galaxies. GRBs are the brightest known electromagnetic events in the universe. They can last just a few milliseconds, or hours. The burst is often followed by an afterglow, which is emitted at longer wavelengths. We have been able to learn a lot of what we know about GRBs from afterglow. We can measure how far away the galaxy that the GRB came from is by the afterglow. GRB’s are commonly formed when a high…

dazzling array images that have awed and inspired the public.More than 45 terabytes have been collected. The 45 and more terabytes that have been collected,provides lights into the universe,from objects as close to the moon to the most remote galaxies,with incredible photos of supernovas and nebulas in between. In 1923 a German scientist Hermann Oberth first suggested that that a telescope could be launched into orbit to help overcome…

24,500 lbs. NASA launched Hubble in 1990, it was "named after Edwin P. Hubble, He was an astronomer" (Rosario). Hubble is a traveling telescope it traves around the Earth taking pictures of planets, stars, and galaxies. "It has seen stars being born and stars die, and it has seen galaxies that are trillions of miles away" (Dunbar). Furthermore, Hubble can see space better than telescopes on Earth can, it's a different kind of telescope than one would usually use, you don't look through the…

Science 07 March 2017 The Milky Way The galaxy is made of many diverse stars. From Protostars to Supergiant stars, it is also very unique. It consists of the only known planet that can sustain life (Earth ). As we know, the galaxy is full of stars. But did you know it is almost as old as the universe, or it was made of several galaxies that collided to create our galaxy? Here are some basic facts to improve your foundation of your understanding of our galaxy, the Milky Way. ( Below here is an…

Andromeda Galaxy can be easily observed in the sky by the unaided eye, even though it is about 2.5 million light-years away from Earth. The unaided eye, however, can only perceive the galaxy as a whole and is unable to distinguish features within the galaxy. Luckily, microscopes combined with the intellect of many bright astronomers over the years have allowed us to better understand what the human eye cannot see, in particular what lies beyond the Milky Way Galaxy in our neighboring galaxy.…

Between Two Galaxies The show opens with Marina in her quarters humming a tune while crafting a self-portrait. Some other drawings are hung up; others lay across her desk or in piles on the floor. None of the other portraits are of her, it’s a healthy variety of artistic musings. Her musings are less than inspirational as her life and surroundings are the epitomai of monotony. Marina's humming picks up in volume as she is seen about her day. Marina is in Sick Bay organizing medical…

on Earth, we perceive Earth as a large mass of land that has been around for about 4.6 billion years. But the Earth is only a small part of what makes up the Universe. Earth is located in the Milky Way Galaxy, and contains billions of stars, which is only a small fraction of the 100 billion galaxies. While the Universe has been around for roughly 13.82 billion years, everyday we learn more and more about the complexities that were once hidden from us. One of the main things found in the…
