A spiral galaxy is a certain kind of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae and, as such, forms part of the Hubble sequence. Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disc containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge.(Sloan) Spiral galaxies resemble spiraling pinwheels, nearly 77% of space consists of spiral galaxies. Though the stars and other visible material contained in such a galaxy lie mostly on a…

Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy. He was the first of six children born to Vincenzo Galilei, a well-known musician and music theorist, and Giulia Ammannati. In 1574, his family moved to Florence, where Galileo began his formal education at the Camaldolese monastery in Vallombrosa. Galileo Galilei is remembered for several things but one in particular was making observations that essentially set the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. Galileo was never…

natural tranquilizers that can calm me down. There will not be stinks from the dead fish or sea creatures but only fresh and comforting air. The sea breeze whispers to my ears, blows smoothly through my hair, and hugs me warmly with the slowly-fading sun that is caressing my skin. The foamy waves roll onto the gritty beach, crash the shore with a mighty liquid…

Summary Assignment #1 Sunspot Cycle: A Brief History In 1610, shortly after viewing the sun for the first time through a telescope, Galileo became the first European to observe sunspots, which are visibly darker, cooler areas on the sun. A little over 200 years later (in 1843), amateur German astronomer Samuel Heinrich Schwabe discovered that there is a cyclical, eleven, and by extension to a full cycle, twenty-two year pattern to the variation of sunspot counts known as the sunspot cycle. In…

well being. This is what happens to nine year old Margot. All she wanted to do was see and feel the sun that she’d been missing for years and because her classmates couldn’t understand why she looked, acted, or talked the way she did the treated her with hateful actions and stole her opportunity to regain happiness for a brief moment by locking her in a closet for the minute period of time the sun would come out on Venus. In Ray Bradbury’s story, All Summer in a Day, he alludes to the theme that…

3. Tasks In order to get answers to the Mission questions, Euclid will measure the geometry , expansion rate and structure growth in the Universe as a function of redshift. This map, spanning 3/4 of the lifetime of the Universe will complement the single snapshot at z ≈1100 made by WMAP and Planck. By combining the use of Redshift measurements (4.1), Weak gravitational lensing (4.2) and Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (4.3), both Dark Energy (DE) and Dark Matter(DM) will be investigated in the…

Heat conduction mechanism represents the energy loss at the particle surface due to the collisions with the surrounding gas molecules. There is no simple theory to explain the cooling mechanism of the particles. During the laser pulse, the particle achieves the peak temperature and emit thermal signal. After the laser pulse duration, the particle starts to cool down. The cooling of the particles is characterized by a decay function. The decay of LII signal provides information about the primary…

“The Sun is alone too but it still shines” by an anonymous author. This quote shows us that just because you are alone doesn't mean you can stop being yourself. In “All Summer In A Day”, by Ray Bradbury, the main character Margot discovers how hard it is to fit in. As Margot tries to fit in and explain the sun to her new classmates, she finds herself alone because none of the kids believe her stories about the sun. Some students then find out that she may be returning to Earth, away from the…

every night when the sun goes down, we have a different form of light. The moon orbits the Earth, like the Earth orbits the sun. The moon we see only orbits around Earth. As the moon orbits our planet, we see that the shape of the moon changes throughout each month. This is because the amount of light that the sun that illuminates the moon changes monthly. These are called the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon are the changes in amount of moon illuminated by the sun as viewed from…

I deeply inhaled the cool, salty sea air, which blowed in calm gusts. The sun’s rays wrapped around me like a warm blanket, sending happiness and serenity through me. I took deep breaths as I listened to the consistent sound of waves hitting the shore, and rested my tired muscles. It was a perfect day, especially after playing a long, tiring tennis match in Boca Raton, Florida. I lied down on my turquoise beach towel and closed my eyes, simply to relax. “LISA!” my mom shouted, sending…
