Only one supernova, SN 1993J, has been detected in M81. It was discovered by F. Garcia in Spain on March 28, 1993 and peaked at apparent magnitude +10.8, making it the brightest supernova in the northern part of the sky since 1954. he beautiful galaxy Messier 81 is tilted at an oblique angle on to our line of sight, giving a "birds-eye view" of the…
relativity. It uses a large object with massive amounts of gravity to see behind it for instance a black hole has an enormous amount of gravity. Most of the time scientists use this method to see other planets stars etc. Scientist were able to view a supernova more than 4 times because a galaxy had magnified it to the point where scientists can easily view…
it has multiple systems. Scientists have recently discovered that the star CE-Camelopardalis, in the Camelopardalis constellation, is nearing the end of its life. The supergiant star, located near the giraffe’s hind foot, will end its life in a supernova that could leave behind a black hole leaving the giraffe with what will look like an ankle bracelet. It is quite remarkable to think that the universe is alive and constantly evolving and changing. Since the beginning, when humans first started…
Confucianism. Although there were several people who practiced Confucianism, there were some people who practiced forms of a dynamic Chinese religion. Thins such as imperial cults, magic, and sorcery reinforced interest in astronomical omens such as supernovas, lunar and social eclipse, and meteors. The masses of the Han Empire believed that the unpredictable celestial events, for example, earthquakes and famines meant that the Emperor of the Han had los the mandate of heaven. Moreover,…
Plato once said, “Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world into another.” Obviously, astronomy has always been an interest to mankind. We look up into the night sky and feel an urge, something pulling us towards the stars. Many people have been influential in discoveries involving the stars and the planets beyond. From Galileo Galilei to Stephen Hawking, we have learned and discovered amazing things about the universe, and in recent discoveries we have wondered if…
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…
You are being brainwashed, but it isn't quite as intentional or sinister as you might think. Society creates a framework so that future generations can grow up and support that framework. It may sound awful to you, but if such a system weren't in place, there would be too many elements in society pulling in too many directions and it wouldn't grow. Most of this guiding force happens without the direct knowledge of the people doing it. Schools train kids to think a certain way, which helps them…
and “G” stars are located. The hotter they are, the brighter they are demonstrating the Sun being a G star. Next, the core contracts as the outer layers expand. This is leading to the explosion of stars eventually becoming a planetary nebula or supernova,…
reader, we read about how the speaker longs for their lover’s sweet embrace and their kiss on their lips. (Bishop, 4). There’s a lot of visual aid conveyed throughout as the speaker describes the relationship between the lovers like a galaxy and supernova. (Bishop, 11). Line 1 begins with the speaker asking their lover, to take a drive back to their time together. In line 2 of the first…
brightest star in the night sky. The magnitude of the star is +0.12. Betelgeuse is a star nearing the end of its life. Shining with a cool, subdued red hue and a location of 643 light-years away it is, according to scientists, expected to become a supernova within the next million years. This is due to the spasms of expansion and…
