Kleene star

Stage Four: Protostar By this stage of the stars evolution, 100,000 years after the process began, it can now be plotted on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which is used to compare the many different stars. Although it is still not fully formed, we are able to determine the type of star it will become based on its luminosity and temperature. In the nucleus of the condensed cloud, which could now fit within the orbit of Mercury at less than 58,000,000 km wide, electrons and protons are ripped…

the cores of stars, nuclei combined to form atoms which constitute the basic unit of all chemical elements. The extensive expansion of the universe induced the birth and demise of more stars and consequently the creation of more elements. According to chemistry professor Carolyn Ruth, author of “Where Do Chemical Elements Come From?,” all fundamental elements are fabricated from the explosion of stars, commonly referred to as supernovas. Essentially, Ruth contends that a newborn star is…

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…

determine the fraction of the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy that might have such planets.”(“Mission Overview | NASA”) Kepler is able to detect planets is by the transit method. This method has Kepler watch stars and see if there is any light coming from the star that is being blocked. If there is that light that got blocked might be from a planet, and to help determine if an object is a planet Kepler will have to watch the star for long periods of time to see if it does come back…

The star would collapse down to a more compact object, like a neutron star or a black hole.. White dwarves are very dense, their average density being about one million times denser than that of the sun. A single sugar cubed amount of white dwarf would weigh approximately one tonne. Its volume comparable to that of the earth, and it’s mass comparable that of the sun. A white dwarf has a faint luminosity which comes from the emission of stored thermal energy. The nearest known white dwarf star is…

Hydra is the largest constellation recognized by the International Astronomical Union, it stretches from the south end of Caner to in between Libra, Centaurus and the Scales. I like Hydra because even though it is such a huge constellation, there isn't a prominent identifier, but when you do see it, it demands to be admired and you can't forget that it's there. In Chinese astronomy, Hydra contains three constellations within itself; Liu, Xing and Zhang. The myth behind Hydra ties into the…

with the naked eye but, rather with the use of a powerful telescope. Most people do not have the chance or opportunity to experience and view the stars and planets that surround us. The universe that surrounds us is one of God’s most brilliant and beautiful creations, and the history and science that is out there is just waiting to be studied. The Stars have been an important aspect to humans since before writing. It is how people could tell the months of the year, and travel across the vast…

Hypernovas are the deaths of massive stars and the formation of a black hole. They are larger than supernovas and are believed to be the origin of long gamma ray bursts. This violent explosion happens in a matter of seconds, but produces more energy in those seconds than the sun produces in its entire 9 billion year lifespan. Not a lot was known about hypernovas until 2003 when a massive gamma ray burst reached earth. This was identified as a hypernova and photographed. In 1999 remnants of a…

available data gathered by NASA's Kepler Telescope to search for other planets like Earth. They soon discovered a bizarre planet that had an unusual flickering pattern, meaning something is happening to it that makes it dim then brighten. The abnormal star was said to be located between the constellations, Cygnus and Lyra and was above the Milky Way. In addition, it was named, “KIC 8462852” soon after. Many astronomers believe that this could result in extraterrestrial activity and could be a…

"There's no such thing as stars, Lea." My older sister and I sit on the shaggy carpet in my room. “Yes, there are. I saw a picture once.” I insist. “They’re beautiful.” “Okay, two things.” My sister Sara says. “One, they’re not real. That photograph was obviously forged. Two, even if they did exist, they are not beautiful. My ancient mythology teacher said that people believe they were giant balls of fire in the sky that would burn things down on Earth.” “They were what gave it light!” I say…
