Star network

I look up to the sky and see millions of stars, and I wonder to myself. What makes them light up so bright, and what makes them a star? What does it take to create a star; they just don’t pop out and shine bright. I want to know the process, and how long it takes for a star to be born. I am also curious to know if the star can die. I plan on finding the answer. I believe that they are created by gases and that they die when they use up all of their gases. Stars have had an impact in our society for millions of years. They go all the way back to biblical times, from when God was creating the earth to when the three wise men had to use the North star to get where baby Jesus was being born. In other words, stars have always been mentioned throughout…

There are many theories for how life started on earth. After reading many theories, I found the Lighting and Panspermia theory the most interesting. These two theories made the most sense to me even though they don’t have much in common. The Lighting theory is the idea of chemicals from earth’s early atmosphere working together with chemicals and lighting from erupting volcanoes in order to create the first life on earth. The second theory is the Panspermia theory, the idea that earth’s first…

Astronomy in Yosemite The Sun The sun is a star located at the center of the universe, and without it, there would be no life on Earth. It is the most important source of energy for humans as it provides us light, heat, and more. It can reach surface temperatures of about 5,276 degrees Celsius, and 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit. The composition of the Sun changes slowly as hydrogen is converted into helium in its core; however, it is currently made up of around 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, and less…

Nuclear Fusion and the Remains of a Dead Star Throughout the history of Earth, multicellular organisms rely on one thing, the sun. And throughout the observable universe, there are million of stars out there just like our sun. These stars could be different however, with either more mass, volume, heat, etc. In our high school career, we learn a lot about astronomy, such as the order of the planets in our solar system. We also learn about gravity, rotation of planets, and how long it takes…

his use of stars throughout his poetry to signify a light in the dark. Neruda uses a star motif to indicate a positive feeling or outlook surrounded by the harsh darkness of negativity. Neruda suggests that there can only be light if there is also darkness and the emotional highs and lows in life must ultimately balance out. In his poems, Neruda uses the motif of stars to portray positive emotions in contrast to the negative emotions represented by night, showing the reader that people cannot…

One example is, the 13 Apollo missions have helped us learn about the moon and have showed people that we can land on the moon. This shows that if we had not done those Apollo missions, we might of still have not landed on the moon and still be trying to explore space from Earth. Another example is, the hubble space telescope takes pictures every day of, stars, planets, and even, black holes. This shows that eventually we will get a picture of a planet that we can colonize on. My third example…

however, determining whether the facts that I collected and the opinions I formed based on those facts is correct, is harder to complete on my own. Our group discussion of the film One Night With the King was collaborative in that we agreed with one another on several aspects of the film, which many of us had detailed in our essays. I also found our group discussion beneficial in that it helped me understand the context of the film better. I had the chance to build upon the knowledge I had…

This theory is the theory that the solar and stellar systems were developed from a primeval nebula. A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in outer space. A primeval is standing for the earliest ages in the history of the world. This means Primeval nebula means a cloud of gas and dust in outer space a long time ago. It was how people think the galaxy was created. This is saying that the universe was always there. The galaxy was created. Then all the stars and planets were created. They were all…

patterns and properties of stars based on plotting them by their temperature on the surface and their light they emit, or luminosity. Created in 1912, the HR diagram was made by two astronomers, Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Russell who found patterns with stars’ properties. The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram shows how every star goes through different evolutionary stages. These evolutionary stages are based on the internal structure of the star and how the star produces energy. On the graph, the…

How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky and you can see those objects in more and more detail. …
