In Harm's Way

example of this is the following: the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way is called the Andromeda Galaxy. It is just over two and a half million light years away, which means that the light we see from there is just over two and a half million years old because this is the distance between us and the Andromeda Galaxy. Now imagine those numbers written out. Wait, don’t even attempt it, I’ll write them for you. The nearest galaxy to our Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy. It is just over…

How do stars form? The stars were born among the dust and scattered throughout the most galaxies. There is an example of dust cloud which is the Orion Nebula.The turbulence in the depths of these clouds produces enough mass of knots.Because its own gravitational attraction,and the gas and dust can begin to collapse. Then the material at the center begin to heat up which is known as protostar . The heart of the collapsing cloud will one day become a star. Since stars are formed from…

basic human want to know if we really are the only form of life in the universe and if there are any other planets out there with the same conditions needed for life as on Earth. Kepler has been “specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover hundreds of Earth-size and smaller planets in or near the habitable zone and determine the fraction of the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy that might have such planets.”(“Mission Overview | NASA”) Kepler is able…

The universe is very big. It could be infinite, we aren't sure exactly how big it is because it is still growing. It is home to countless stars, planets, galaxies, and nebulae. Everything is so far apart. For instance, our moon is 238,900 miles away from the Earth. It is about twice as many miles that someone might walk in eighty years, assuming they walk about 7,500 steps every day. The closest galaxy to us is the Andromeda Galaxy, it is approximately 2.9 million light years away. As long as…

scientists have used to name this phenomenon when galaxies interact gives people a wrong picture on what happens, but even if the process is often slow in our standards the interaction has an impact on the galaxies involved and our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has been,…

Based on Natasha’s story, I concluded immigration to be a constant struggle, learning experience…
