Star Wars: Battlefront

In the daily speech colliding is a word used to describe, when it is two (visible) objects, something is “hit by accident when moving”1, but when it is about galaxies it is not the stars or the solar systems that are colliding. In this subject it is the gravitational fields of the involved galaxies in a interaction that can be called that they are in collision. As this is galaxies the spacing and the sheer size makes the chance of…

she discovered 300 variable stars and invented her own system of classification, which became the universal standard, she listed around 350,000 stars. Annie Jump Cannon died on April 13, 1941 in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the age of 77. Annie Jump Cannon’s father was Wilson Cannon, a Delaware shipbuilder and state senator, her mother was Mary Jump, Annie was the oldest daughter. She was first taught about constellations, which became the main source of interest to stars for Annie, by her…

An astronomical star catalogue lists stars by number according to different criteria (such as their magnitude), which can provide insight into the positions of stars, how they change over time, and even the history and culture of the astronomers who create these catalogues. As early as the 2nd millennium B.C.E, star catalogues have been kept (Van der Waerden); they can be seen all over the world and across cultures, increasing in breadth over time as the technology of telescopes advanced and…

Astronomy is an ongoing process. It is always changing and improving as we discover new stellar objects and use more advanced technology. For example, people once believed that the Earth was flat, and the sun and other planets orbited around us. As we advanced in technology, we proved both of these ideas to be false. Even today there is still work to be done, ideas and theories to confirm and disprove, and plenty of other things to explore. One scientific discovery that influence society was…

First, Energy has multiple forms that can switch different states. The two most common forms of energy are, Kinetic and Potential Energy. Kinetic Energy is the energy created when an object is in motion. It can be transferred between two objects if the object has enough energy, therefor it can be from of a collision. Kinetic energy can also be elastic or inelastic energy, however Potential Energy is an energy, but is potentially created before Kinetic Energy. Both types of energy are measured in…

As we arrived to our new four star hotel we felt relieved and felt almost safe. We made our way to the dining area ready to eat a delicious breakfast buffet. I neared a chef that was preparing waffles and she grunted at me in acknowledgement. “ Do you need help?” A young beautiful chinese…

The upper point on the main sequence which is the most densely populated with stars where the red giants seem to begin is called the turnoff point; the exact location of turnoff point indicates the age of the cluster. Deriving the distance and age of M52 We have already identified main sequence, turnoff point, and giant red for M52 shown in figure by comparing with Figure 1. A best fit line this will help to find the distance to open cluster M52 by using the techniques of best fit line. In…

Without the gravitational pull or the attraction a sun exerts on our planets we would just float away from the sun. According to http://earthsky.org/ Inside of spinning disk is a rocky material because all of the gas had joined together and created a star.…

During their existence, stars form when the density of interstellar gas and dust, which form molecular clouds, reaches a certain point, and die by collapsing and turning into a white dwarf or a neutron star. Stars can fail and become a brown dwarf. Stars form when the density of the concentration of molecular clouds collapses and reaches a certain point. These regions are usually extremely cold and contain carbon and hydrogen. However, not all materials from the clouds form stars. Some of the…

civilizations within the universe right now. R* is the approximate rate of the formation of stars within our galaxy. Fp represents the fraction of stars in the Milky Way that are companioned by other planets. Ne takes the place of the number of planets per sun-like star that have habitable ecospheres, which is what allows for the chemical evolution of life. Fl is what breaks up the planets per sun-like star which obtain inhabiting ecospheres and separates them from the ones that actually do…
