CYGNUS One of the most prominent constellations in the night sky, and one of the most involved and eventful regions of space, the Cygnus constellation and its surrounds are fascinating, and a worthwhile talking point for many a topic. Occupying an area of 804 square degrees, Cygnus is the 16th largest constellation in the night sky; it lies in the fourth quadrant of the northern hemisphere, with right ascension at 20.62, and declination at +42.03: in other words, if you were in the northern…

because in order to go this fast you have to basically have infinite energy which is almost impossible. Scientist around the world could use the speed of light to determine the distance between a star, planet,galaxies or even a catastrophe as in a supernova to Earth’s location and to explore the universe. Einstein has proven the fact that if there was another amount of speed added on to the speed of light, the speed of light would stay the same. Light has no speed delay meaning whenever light is…

Though is can also be produced during certain types of supernova explosions by nucleosynthesis from lighter elements through a form of nuclear fusion that produces many elements heavier than iron. It is a very soft metal and is often mixed with an alloy like copper. The copper hardens the silver and makes it able…

remains true even at the massive scales of the Universe. These clouds of gas and dust can be billions of miles across (Chinn, 2010b), and as such, require significant events to occur to displace them. The movements of galaxies and shock waves from supernova explosions are examples of events that can cause the gas and dust clouds to be…

no ultimate being. Part B: Scientists believe the formation of the Solar System started around 4.6 billion years ago. They believe there was a huge molecular cloud and that a small part collapsed, possibly due to a shock wave from a close by supernova. This is known in science as a gravitational collapse which is (according to Wikipedia) “the inward fall of an astronomical object due to the influence of its own gravity which tends to draw the object toward its center of…

I want to believe For years, humans have looked up to the stars, wondering what is in space. As time passed and science evolved, the human race discovered many wondrous objects in space. Space has, for some, become a land of fantasy and storytelling. This has led some people to come up with conspiracy theories about space and extraterrestrial life that are absolutely absurd. One of the most interesting theories is that President Obama was teleported into space in the 1980s as part of an elite…

tweaking the model or idea to improve upon it. The first historically important astronomer to disagree with his work was Tycho Brache. He was a very talented, trained astronomer all over Europe. Brache discovered a new star, but known today as a supernova, in 1572 and a new comet in 1577. This did not go along with the Aristotelian view because new stars can never come about because the heavens are perfect and unchangeable. This alone would mean the Aristotelian view was incorrect, but he didn’t…

Uranium Paetyn Blockhus Why do you think people thought when they first discovered uranium? The warfare has changed when uranium was introduced. The discovery of radioactivity and other things in uranium has been discovered over the years. The size and weight of uranium is one of its many characteristics. The world had changed when they started using and mining uranium. The fun facts of uranium are truly surprising. Uranium is an…

One of which is when he found the four moons of Jupiter. This was his most famous discovery though, but was not his first observation. Galileo’s first observation was a supernova in the sky. He is also credited with making a better telescope than the one that was already in existence. The sad part is that most people back then thought that it was only illusion she was seeing in the sky and were not real (Erickson 1). Image…

Galileo Galilei Have you ever wondered what Galileo Galilei did in his life?. Galileo Galilei made astonishing and world changing inventions and improvements to other inventions. His inventions and improvements to other inventions were made in the topics of math, astronomy, and cosmology. Galileo Galilei made significant change in the history of science. Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy. After he was born he moved and lived in a town close to Florence, Italy.…
