Introduction: Have you ever notice a moth circling street light, porch lights, or car lights? Pointless, right? Well, the moths have a very specific reason for why they circle and spiral lights. In Khristo Boyadzhiev’ paper, he shows that the moths take an equiangular spiral path. Moths navigate by a point light source called transverse orientation. This source being the moon which was developed well before humans’ invention of the light bulb. One reason behind the spiraling happens to come from…

Stars that are formed with different masses are thought to have different properties, such as low mass stars are more likely to turn into dwarf planets and high mass stars are more likely to turn into supernovas. Average stars like the sun usually become white dwarfs and the process of emitting its outer layers carry on until the stellar core is revealed which is known as a white dwarf. White dwarfs have the mass of a star but are the size of our planet which arose various questions along the…

Geography Question 1: The big bounce theory. The big bounce theory is a theory that scientists have created that shows that the universe was formed The big bounce theory is a scientific theory about the origins of the universe. Scientists say that our universe is the result of the previous universes collapse. The big bounce theory states that the universe expands and contracts. The universe expanded so greatly that it exploded and created the universe we’re living in today, The Milky Way.…

Analysis The Earth and the Universe: First of all, Hesiod’s Theogony (circa. 700 BC) is a written source explaining the connections between the gods, goddesses and these immortal beings are the embodiment respective parts of the earth and universe. Hesiod explains that in the beginning there was only Chaos and then came Gaea, the broad earth who supports Mt Olympus and at its core, Tartarus. From Gaea came Uranus, the sky and stars and together they bore the titans and titanesses and the…

The cosmos are a timeless collection of space and stars. It’s our home and it’s our Earth’s home. It holds the key to our survival, the sun. It it both where we came from and where we are going. The universe is all that we have, and human kind has developed the ability to explore it. But the real question is if we should. Some issues should be considered when it comes to space exploration, and those are economics, ethics, and science. These three things are the most important factors to consider…

First, Energy has multiple forms that can switch different states. The two most common forms of energy are, Kinetic and Potential Energy. Kinetic Energy is the energy created when an object is in motion. It can be transferred between two objects if the object has enough energy, therefor it can be from of a collision. Kinetic energy can also be elastic or inelastic energy, however Potential Energy is an energy, but is potentially created before Kinetic Energy. Both types of energy are measured in…

Many scientists, starting with Galileo, had noticed there was something strange because of a small fleck they saw in the sky. These scientists had try to discover something new, but each time, their ideas were dismissed. This went on for several years, before William Herschel had the motivation to figure it out for himself. At first, he thought it was a comet, but through a mirror he had built, was able to verify that this object wasn’t making the same motion as a comet would. This is where his…

Theory on Lithium in Stars May Be Confirmed The light chemical element lithium is one of the few elements that is predicted to have been created by the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago. But understanding the amounts of lithium observed in stars around us today in the Universe has given astronomers headaches. Most heavy elements are produced during supernovae, as massive stars explode in their death throes. However, these events were believed to be too rare to produce the vast amount of…

Fixtures of the northern sky, the Big and Little Dippers, swing around the North Star, Polaris, once a day or once every 23 hours and 56 minutes. Polaris marks the north celestial pole around which all the stars of the northern sky appears to rotate. It also marks the end of the Little Dipper’s handle and the whole constellation (Ursa Minor) is circumpolar, which means it’s always above the horizon in northern latitudes to as far south as the tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude). The…

WASHINGTON: Scientists have surprisingly built up an approach to decide the vicinity of solid attractive fields profound inside using so as to throb goliath stars a procedure like medicinal ultrasound. Attractive fields have critical results in all phases of stellar advancement, from a star's arrangement to its destruction. Presently, surprisingly, astrophysicists have the capacity to decide the vicinity of solid attractive fields profound inside throbbing goliath stars. Analysts utilized…
