V. The Cat’s Eye Nebula One of the most famous nebulae is the Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC-6543); it was discovered by William Herschel in 1786. NGC-6543 is located in the northern constellation of Draco; it appears as a blooming center with surrounding and expanding rings. The NGC-6543 has a historical importance because it was the first nebula to be studied spectroscopically by the astronomer William Huggins in 1864; this study revealed the distinctions between PNe and the other gaseous nebulae.…

said Mitali. I looked out the cabin window, it was clearly night time. I couldn’t see a thing. But I knew, we were deep in the woods. Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming towards me. It sounded like they were getting louder and louder each time I heard one. The psycho guy who was following us stared at us from the other side of the room. I wanted to jump out the window, but it was probably locked and I would probably get even more lost. I had so many thoughts racing through my mind. Eventually,…

Part I: Introduction 1) One method scientists use to measure the distance of the star is called parallax. Parallax shift is when closer stars shift positions against the farthest stars. In order for astronomers to measure that distance, they measure the distance of the shift, also considering the diameter of the Erath’s orbit. Then the angle of the parallax is measured. The smaller the angle of the parallax shift is, the farther away the star is from the earth 2) The way that we determine…

The messier galaxy is galaxy that is seventeen million light years away. This galaxy can be seen in the constellation Hydra. This galaxy is a spiral pinwheel galaxy and is also one of the brightest galaxies in the sky. The galaxy messier 83 was founded in February 23 in 1752 by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. Lacaille found the Messier 83 galaxy off of the Cape of Good Hope. In March of 1781 Charles Messier added this galaxy to his catalog of nebulas objects, known as the messier catalog. Later on…

ability. George was a Cornell lacrosse player up until 2004 when he lost his life mid game from a shot that hit him square in the chest. It wasn’t necessarily his statistics that impressed everyone George encountered, but rather his work ethic and the way that he held himself stood out to everyone. George was truly an inspiration to everyone on his team. A selfless, driven, class act that wanted nothing but perfection, is the reason that George earned immortality amongst his peers. Before his…

The Way It Haunted Me People say that good things always come in pairs, but what about bad things too? My parents, sister and I decided to visit Cedar Point during what I like to call a dark fall. The days were hazy and honeyed, and cinnamon and pomegranate aroma filled the air. The skies were always awake and illuminated with the never-ending thunderstorms, and murky rains; the scattered leaves were luminescent in their yellows, reds, and purples as if they forgot they were about to die. That…

In society, there are many ways of learning, understanding, and knowing the world that range from scientific ways to non-scientific ways. There are many types of scientific ways of learning that include but is not limited to psychology, sociology, and political science to name a few. But learning if not limited to scientific ways, learning can also be accomplished through non-scientific ways such as learning from personal experience, learning from parents or through tradition, and even using…

differ which of these was the real one, the voice or Goofy’s barking. He managed to wake up as Goofy’s barking began louder. The first thing he wanted to see was the morning star. But then Goofy started to run as if he wanted to show something. Zhana followed him up to the hill, realising that something spectacular was about to happen. An illuminated figure threw a twig that Goofy ran to catch it. As Zhana looked up to the sky, a flying dish was rumbling. In one lightning move, it dwindled to…
