TRAPPIST-1 twice as old as our close planetary system 0 BY/ON 13 AUGUST 2017 SCIENCE Aug. 11 — Astronomers have limited in on a more exact gauge of the TRAPPIST-1 framework. Researchers trust the star and its exoplanets are in the vicinity of 5.4 and 9.8 billion years of age — as much as twice as old as our close planetary system. The sun was conceived 4.5 billion years back. In February, NASA declared the disclosure of seven Earth-sized planets circling TRAPPIST-1, a ultra-cool smaller…

(the red end of the spectrum) in radiation from distant galaxies and celestial objects. This is interpreted as a Doppler shift that is proportional to the velocity of recession and thus to distance. Stars 1. So creating a brand new element requires loading an atom's nucleus with more protons. Stars create new elements in their cores by squeezing…

that cannot be directly seen because it does not interact with light. This mysterious matter makes up the majority of mass in a galaxy. Although we cannot see dark matter we know that it is out there because we can see it effecting the motion of the stars in a galaxy and gravitational lensing. The first piece of evidence for dark matter is in the way we have observed galaxies moving. You would likely expect their behavior to replicate that of the Sun and the planets, with the velocity of…

ASTROPHYSICS Methods used to search for extrasolar planets Lucky Ruangsiri 24.02.2016 Extrasolar planets are planets that revolves another star apart from our solar system. The human race has found nearly 2000 confirmed extrasolar planets by the year 2016, and this has fuelled the search for extra-terrestrial life as we scour the universe for anything out there. How do we discover these planets that are light years away from the earth? An extrasolar planet detection technique is the…

the night and what do you see? Millions of twinkling lights, also known as stars. Stars are one of the most popular astronomical objects and represents the building blocks of galaxies. A star is defined as a vast ball of gas held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to earth is the Sun. Similar to a living organism, stars have a life cycle in which they are born, they develop and grow, and eventually die. Stars begin as a vast cloud interstellar dust (mostly carbon or silicon) and…

Did you ever think on how the universe ever started ? It all started in total darkness. An astronomer named Edwin Hubble found out that the galaxies were moving farther away, he knew that by a telescope that he created and it is called the hubble telescope. When the universe exploded it began to spread really quickly and when it exploded the universe had a very high temperature when this happened. Which created formation of elements ,gravity,redshift ,doppler effect,CMB, many more . The big…

of a Star,” gave us incredible information regarding the life cycle of a star. There are billions of stars out there and in our galaxy, we have about four billion. Stars, which are ignited by the power of the atom, burning with light, heat and wrath, stars are anything but peaceful. They collide, devour each other, and explode in enormous supernovas. These “supernovas” are known to be the largest explosion in the universe. Throughout the video, we were given so much information about stars and…

Star Journal Year 1: Today my nebula started collapsing. A star a few light years away exploded in a supernova, which started my formation process. I’m feeling changes in my gravitational pull, I think it’s getting stronger. I’m so excited, in a few million years, I’m going to be a protostar! I can feel all of the gas and dust starting to form around me, slowly condensing. It’s making a huge spinning disk around me, and the cloud of hydrogen is getting smaller. My core isn’t hot enough to start…

The active region displayed in Figure 1 show a larger pore and several smaller pores in G-band. Bright points and several micropores are also visible. This active region was observed from 18:08 UT to 23:38 UT. However, there are three gapes from 18:42 to 19:08 20:21 to 20:47 and 21:59 to 22:26. Figure 1 shows the first image of the time series. Figure 2 illustrates the evolution of the fine structures at the inner part of the granules (i.e. towards umbra) at the pore boundary. Several dark…

The objects between 42 and 47 AU are in very stable orbits – not affected in any significant way by any of the planets. Like the “classical” planets, these objects are in nearly circular orbits, so were given the name “Classical KBOs” (CKBOs), by David Jewitt. Of the CKBOs, about one-third have a low orbital inclination of around 2o – these are the “Cold” CKBOs. The remaining two-thirds have a much higher inclination of up to 20o or more – the “Hot” CKBOs. Hot and cold do not have anything to do…
