Occultation

When participating in this observation of the sky many things were brought to my attention. The sky has many mysterious things including the stars’ movement. I made eight observations where I live Del Mar Heights. Most of the descriptions of observation were an hour to complete. These observations over the semester from September to December were done with drawings I’ve below, I’ve noted any constellations that were visible I also used an astronomy website to name and understand what I was looking at. All observations were at lease days apart. My observation started on the fifth of September. During this drawing the sky was cloudy. I didn’t see the Moon out at this time. The constellation Sagittarius was located to the left of the sky. Then in the upper left side, I viewed what is called Tea Pot. In the lower right hand side, I saw Corona Australis which looked like a candy cane. . That was really interesting because I thought the same stars were always in the sky. Light pollution made only the brightness stars visible. The next observation was on the eighth of September and I notices difference. The stars changed position. Sagittarius was still in its location and changed to the right-side. The Tea Pot had moved slightly to the right. When I was looking at the sky, it was hard to see all of Corona Australis. Most of it was cut off on the horizon. During this time, there was an eclipse on the 16 of September. The first observation took place during the first week of…

years, a period they refer to as the lesser occultation. Shiites also believe that the Twelfth Imam has never died, but disappeared from earth in about A.D. 939. Since that time the greater occultation of the Twelfth Imam has been in force and will last until God commands the Twelfth Imam to manifest himself on earth again as the Mahdi, or Messiah. Shiites believe that during the greater occultation of the Twelfth Imam, he is spiritually present-some believe that he is materially present as…

this manner, the Shia belief in the Twelver Islamic prophecy of the twelfth messianic leader of Islam defines the cultural flexibility of Islamic orthodoxy, which allowed Adud and his successors to pursue a Persian version of the Islamic faith within their cultural nexus. Adud’s leadership defines the occultation of the Imam that defied the orthodox tradition of installing a direct descendent of Ali on the throne: Had he lived longer and had he been able to secure the succession to his own…

authority and their economic independence as a result of the collection of Islamic taxes, rise in the notion of obedience to the scholars in the form of taqlid (imitation), and the association of Shi’ite scholars with political power in Iran are all factors that enabled the Shi’ite community to maintain their authority structure despite globalization. He bases his article on the intellectual grounds of Iraqi Shi’ite authority structures from the viewpoints of three scholars: Sistani, Ha’iri…

The length of one Neptune day is 19 Earth hours, its mass is 17.1 times that of Earth’s, It’s density is 1.71, where water equals one, and it has a total of six rings. Although not as significant as Saturn’s rings, Neptune also has a planetary ring system. They are composed from particles of silicate-coated ice, and carbon based substances, which causes them to appear reddish in colour. Edward Guinan and his team discovered the first of the rings in 1968. In 1984, a stellar occultation (when a…

a light-month in diameter (Finkbeiner 1992). The popularity of radio astronomy in the 1950s unveiled yet more astronomical puzzles. One of the first enigmas was the radio galaxy. While unassuming at optical wavelengths, these bodies, which consisted of a pair of extended radio lobes on either side of an elliptical galaxy, proved to be quite interesting in the radio band. Then in the 1960s, radio sources were found to be associated with objects assumed to be stellar in origin. First came the…

with the ethical problems by building 4 schools of thought, each school was built to help solve Islamic moral and religious questions that Muslims had. The Shiite muslims seemed to not help solve the problems but let the Sunni Muslims do it for them. The Shiite Muslims continued on believing in what they normally do which is this. The Shiite Muslims have an ¨Imam¨ who is a leader appointed from the prophet 's family. The Imams descended from Ali and Hussein and led to community until the 9th…

Arterial repair was an advance of the Korean War pioneered stateside at Walter Reed” During world War I and World War II prior to the advance of medical practices…
