Five-pointed star

the night and what do you see? Millions of twinkling lights, also known as stars. Stars are one of the most popular astronomical objects and represents the building blocks of galaxies. A star is defined as a vast ball of gas held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to earth is the Sun. Similar to a living organism, stars have a life cycle in which they are born, they develop and grow, and eventually die. Stars begin as a vast cloud interstellar dust (mostly carbon or silicon) and…

Did you ever think on how the universe ever started ? It all started in total darkness. An astronomer named Edwin Hubble found out that the galaxies were moving farther away, he knew that by a telescope that he created and it is called the hubble telescope. When the universe exploded it began to spread really quickly and when it exploded the universe had a very high temperature when this happened. Which created formation of elements ,gravity,redshift ,doppler effect,CMB, many more . The big…

of a Star,” gave us incredible information regarding the life cycle of a star. There are billions of stars out there and in our galaxy, we have about four billion. Stars, which are ignited by the power of the atom, burning with light, heat and wrath, stars are anything but peaceful. They collide, devour each other, and explode in enormous supernovas. These “supernovas” are known to be the largest explosion in the universe. Throughout the video, we were given so much information about stars and…

Star Journal Year 1: Today my nebula started collapsing. A star a few light years away exploded in a supernova, which started my formation process. I’m feeling changes in my gravitational pull, I think it’s getting stronger. I’m so excited, in a few million years, I’m going to be a protostar! I can feel all of the gas and dust starting to form around me, slowly condensing. It’s making a huge spinning disk around me, and the cloud of hydrogen is getting smaller. My core isn’t hot enough to start…

The active region displayed in Figure 1 show a larger pore and several smaller pores in G-band. Bright points and several micropores are also visible. This active region was observed from 18:08 UT to 23:38 UT. However, there are three gapes from 18:42 to 19:08 20:21 to 20:47 and 21:59 to 22:26. Figure 1 shows the first image of the time series. Figure 2 illustrates the evolution of the fine structures at the inner part of the granules (i.e. towards umbra) at the pore boundary. Several dark…

The objects between 42 and 47 AU are in very stable orbits – not affected in any significant way by any of the planets. Like the “classical” planets, these objects are in nearly circular orbits, so were given the name “Classical KBOs” (CKBOs), by David Jewitt. Of the CKBOs, about one-third have a low orbital inclination of around 2o – these are the “Cold” CKBOs. The remaining two-thirds have a much higher inclination of up to 20o or more – the “Hot” CKBOs. Hot and cold do not have anything to do…

Cepheid Variable Stars are large and luminous yellow stars in space known to sporadically change size and temperature resulting in pulsing variations in brightness and thus, inconsistent levels of luminosity. There are two types of Cepheid Variable Stars; Type 1 Cepheids (or classical) which are high mass stars with smaller pulsating periods and Type 2 Cepheids which are lower mass stars with greater pulsation periods. All Cepheid Variable Stars, named after the first observed star of this type,…

Since I was little, I have been hypnotized by the stars. Each star twinkles in such a spectacular way, that when I would look outside my window, with my teddy bear in hand, I would have trouble picking my favorite one. The stars inspired me to be curious, to look for the same light they gave off in the world around me, and to love myself just like I loved the stars. As I prepare for college, the idea of college as a whole reminds me of the stars. The promise of a bright future, the chance to…

and cost 180 million dollars. It takes up as much space as 30 football fields. It was built in China by the Chinese Government, Mainly using drones. It was built as far away from civilization as possible as to not get interference. It is called the Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope or FAST for short. Fast was designed to detect strange occurrences in space. Like clouds of dust or strange sources of light. It allows astronomers to not only find out more about our galaxy but also…

Purpose: To use Parallax and triangulation to measure the indirect distance between two points. Hypothesis: If a long distance is measured using triangulation then it will produce an accurate measurement. Materials: 1. Protractor 2. Ruler 3. Tape measure 4. Table or desk 5. Paper 6. Pencil 7. Masking tape Procedure: 1. Gather all of your materials 2. Clear off your table or desk 3. Place an object at one end of the desk (image A). Using masking tape, label this point C. 4. From the end…
