Hubble sequence

How Stars Came to be and Their History The radiance of the stars is masked in secrecy. Only those who wish to ponder the vastness of the stars can be enlightened to their true beauty; their ability to create something from nothing is astounding. People revel at the beauty of the stars, generally enjoying a night under the twilight sky. The stars hold so many mysteries that are seldom ever questioned, but how many people ever wonder where the stars come from? How long a star’s lifespan is or why…

Edwin Hubble was an Astronomer and scientist who changed our entire cosmology and revolutionized the field of astrophysics. Hubble’s research helped to prove the universe is expanding and he also created a classification system for galaxies we now call the Hubble sequence. He has been called one of the most influential astronomers since the times of Galileo, Kepler and Newton.On November 20th, 1889 in Marshfield, Missouri, Edwin Hubble was born to parents John Powell Hubble, an insurance…

The hubble space telescope Imagine yourself in a world where people don't know what's in the sky or the creation of the solar system? That would be a little scary because you don't ever know what's out there in the solar system if there's a black hole or a meteorite coming for earth. But thankfully we don't have to worry about that because have the best invention ever. The invention of the Hubble telescope has contributed to the growth of space science. Edwin Hubble was born on november 20 1889…

A spiral galaxy is a certain kind of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae and, as such, forms part of the Hubble sequence. Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disc containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge.(Sloan) Spiral galaxies resemble spiraling pinwheels, nearly 77% of space consists of spiral galaxies. Though the stars and other visible material contained in such a galaxy lie mostly on a…

However, he never realized the large fragments of gas and dust masked within the Milky Way to show its true shape. In the 1920s, another famous astronomer and a telescope named in honor of him, Edwin Powell Hubble provided irrevocable data about our galaxy. He concluded that the circling nebulae were indeed whole other galaxies. This helps modern day astronomers perceive the genuine essence and configuration of the Milky Way, and also the accurate volume and…

video, we were given so much information about stars and with the help of some cutting-edge computer graphics, astronomers are now able to see so much more now compared to many years ago. Pillars of Creation was brought up, a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of the elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula. This is about 6,500-7,000 light years away from Earth. Eagle Nebula is known to be a young open cluster in the constellation of Serpens. Pillars of…

Big History has produced many themes within in context, with the most prominent being complexity. However, expansion can also be seen as the most important theme that traverses through the Big History story. Expansion can be seen in at the very beginning with the Big Bang, through the increasing expanding universe that we live in today, it can also be seen in the creation and development of our stars and planets. Furthermore, expansion allows for the many diverse and different organism alive on…

The first destination will be to Mars. Mars is the second planet after Mercury in the solar system, but in terms of the sun it is the fourth planet nearest to it. The distance between Earth and Mars is maximum 0.00000102529 and minimum 0.00000062363 light years. It is unknown who the first person discovered Mars. In 1659, an astronomer named Christian Huygens discovered the Syrtis Major on the surface of Mars. Moreover, another astronomer named Giovanni Schiaparellin in 1877 discovered various…

CYGNUS One of the most prominent constellations in the night sky, and one of the most involved and eventful regions of space, the Cygnus constellation and its surrounds are fascinating, and a worthwhile talking point for many a topic. Occupying an area of 804 square degrees, Cygnus is the 16th largest constellation in the night sky; it lies in the fourth quadrant of the northern hemisphere, with right ascension at 20.62, and declination at +42.03: in other words, if you were in the northern…
