    The purpose of the lab was to fully understand the Herztsprung-Russel diagram. We use this diagram to categorize stars with their stellar properties. By examining a star’s temperature, relative size, and luminosity for instance, you can plot them on an HR diagram. During the lab we did four different activities to understand the lab. The first was to look at a group of squares with different sizes, letters, color, and numbers. We categorized them based on color and then in order from smallest…

    or not. Though no one has unearthed all the secrets of Earth, countless scientists, astronauts, and engineers yearn for the opportunity to watch an American citizen take their first steps on Mars. "NASA aims to extend human presence deeper into the solar system and to the surface of Mars," states a well-educated member of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA's Journey to Mars: Pioneering Next Steps in Space Exploration" [4]). However, would colonizing The Red Planet be a…

    Young Earth Creationism is a theory that states that the universe, including Earth, is 6000-12000 years old and was created in six literal days (Mortenson, 2011). One of the main arguments for this theory is that there are many naturally occurring phenomena in the universe which show that YEC is the only viable theory. This argument was proposed by Dr. Russell Humphreys, an expert in YEC. One of these phenomena includes the spiral shape of the known galaxies. Humphreys suggests that the spiral…

    supergiants are old, large stars. Red giants are usually orange and are about six hundred light years away from Earth. Blue Giants are hot, blue stars that burn helium. Supergiants are the largest type of known star, and are sometimes as big as our entire solar system. When they die, they supernova and turn into a black…

    Is the coastal eroding? Yes, along with the power of the waves and wind the coast is eroding. The coast is not only eroding because of the water and wind, it’s also eroding because of human activity. The one activity that we do causing erosion is dredging; it’s when we get shipped to us. The ships cause waves to hit the coast. Is there any other planet that is habitable? NASA’s space telescope has found planets that could be the second “earth”. They found an earth sized planet orbiting the…

    discusses some of the major findings on investigations of the universe. Much of the research relates to investigations in the laboratory relating to synthetic biology and how it can lead to better understanding of alien life in other planets outside the solar system. The most interesting idea is Sasselov’s claim that super-earths have better chances of harboring life than earth-sized planets. Personally, I have been interested in studies that relate to investigations about alien life. Sasselov…

    The search for viable planets and moons for NASA to colonize may be narrowed to one. The Jupiter moon Europa may be next on the mission list for NASA astronauts. Leaving Mars out in the cold. Recent research from NASA scientists could have found the life sustaining evidence they need on Europa. Or at least under its icy surface. The study is encouraging, now that scientists believe that the Jupiter moon ocean has enough energy to support life. If so, will NASA astronauts find aliens on the…

    This star is an M-dwarf star, it is smaller, cooler, and dimmer than our sun. A lot of scientists have disagreed over the fact that M-dwarf stars aren't typically good places for life since they send out more flares and damaging radiation than G-type stars, that is our sun. I mean sun flares? We don't want another Maze Runner do we?I sure don’t But M-dwarf planets are easier to find because their planets block more of their light, And since M-dwarf planets take up 70 percent of the stars in…
