“Oh, be a fine girl/guy kiss me,” or maybe not. Learning this phrase has helped multiple astronomers to educate themselves on the spectral classification of stars and continues to do so in today’s time. Annie Jump Cannon’s legacy will carry on lasting a lifetime! The first letters of each word in the phrase represents the seven main types of stars. Starting with ”‘O,” these stars are very young, blue, hot, massive and extremely bright star. This type of star is very uncommon similar to the “B”…

has no chance of producing radiation, greenhouse gases, or any other harmful substances simply because there is not any possibility of creating any of these harmful substances. The reaction to produce energy creates three products: Helium, a fast neutron and energy. It is physically impossible to create any thing else. Fuel The fuel for nuclear fusion is very important for the argument to use it as a renewable energy source. Deuterium and Tritium, the fuel of the reaction, are both hydrogen…

The Cultural Impacts of Nuclear Events in Japan Japan has had an unfortunate history with nuclear events. The 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as the recent critical incidents Fukushima in 2011 have had significant impact on the country’s culture. Japan’s unique culture also affected the way these incidents were handled and how people affected were treated. Popular media was noticeably influenced by the events of WWII as seen in the 1954 film Gojira and the 1974 manga Barefoot…

Nuclear energy has certainly come a long way since its introduction to the public in 1945. The world stood in shock at the revelation of the destructive capabilities of the two first nuclear weapons “Fat Man” and “Little Boy.” The actual development of nuclear energy began in the 20th century following the discovery of the elements uranium and plutonium. When the bombs were detonated these elements produced enormous sums of energy in the form of both heat and radiation; these hazardous…

Nuclear Energy not a Solution for the Energy crisis in Europe Energy is an important part of our daily lives helping citizens to achieve a comfortable lifestyle through electricity. However, resources like oil and non-renewable resources which generates the majority of current energy are running out and that the world needs alternative energy in order to solve the increasing demand. Nuclear energy is one possible energy alternative which can be useful for the world. European countries are one…

4) Elements can be created naturally through processes such as the big bang or other methods conducted by scientists. Scientists are able to create elements by using atomic colliders and quantum calculation. One process that scientists use to create new elements is to add protons one by one into an atom. This would increase the atomic number of the element which would change the identity of the element. The addition of protons causes a repulsion between the atoms because two positive forces…

Noah Yeasted A black hole is a large amount of matter in a small space. Black holes are one of the things that can be left over after a larger star dies. The other thing a larger star can become after it dies is a neutron star. A white dwarf is created after a smaller star dies. The only way for a star to become a black hole is if the star was 10-15 times more massive than the sun. The diameter of a black hole is approximately the diameter of New York City. A black hole’s gravitational pull is…

The Atomic bomb is a very destructive weapon that can obliterate anything in a 5 mile radius. This device had been developed in a project over the past few years starting in 1939 which was known as the Manhattan project. During the project over 100,000 people were employed and scientists from various nations contributed their work towards creating the bomb. Finally on July 16, 1945, it was tested in the Trinity test in central New Mexico. While this test was a success, the struggle with…

Today’s modern research is finally beginning to prove Einstein’s theory absolutely correct. Scientists from around the world have stated that Einstein’s interpretation of the expansion of the universe has evidenced right with “incredible accuracy” and is handling to support the scientists to conclude and comprehend the unfathomable hastening of the universe. Is Einstein’s Theory of relativity really all what it adds up to be? Does it really matter?? The most important discovery in Physics…

The first atomic model was introduced by an English chemist, physicist, and meteorologist named John Dalton. John Dalton had reintroduced the idea of the atom that had once been a theory of a Greek scientist named Democritus. However, unlike Democritus, Dalton was able to prove the existence of atoms. Through many experiments, Dalton came up with a list of properties, that he thought, all atoms shared. Each element is composed of atoms Atoms are tiny, featureless spheres All atoms of same…
