Supernova

. Hawking says that there was a time when everything in the universe were connected to each other and the density of the universe was infinite, which according to the “general theory of relativity…predicts that there” was “a singular point in the universe” [3]. Before big bang, nothing existed. Energy and time were created later. This theory is in coherence with the scientific method. If we invest some thinking to find some evidences that support the existence of god, we can find a few…

(http://kencroswell.com/Copper.html). Copper does not begin forming at around the same time as other metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. These three elements begin forming in the exact opposite of the s-process, (the r-process). Right after a supernova the elements scatter all over the galaxy and eventually find homes on different planets. Stars are really important to the element of…

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 vast majority of my employment experiences in the social service and educational sectors involved serving people with diverse disabilities. They include Autism; Asperger’s Syndrome; Attention Deficit Disorder; Deaf/hard-of-hearing; speech disabilities; visual impairment; mobility challenges; learning disabilities; psychiatric disabilities; brain injuries and medical disabilities such as epilepsy, chemical dependency and HIV/AIDS. I have nearly five years experience in the educational sector…

I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…

When a giant star explodes into a supernova, it can eject terrifying flash of radiation known as gamma ray bursts, one of the brightest electromagnetic event in the universe. But in order to find the brightest sustaining phenomena, one paradoxically has to look at the darkest thing in the universe: a black hole. Black holes interact with light, reflecting so little, that they do not let any escape. That is dark but the intense energies created by black holes in the process of eating stars is…

Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” ends with this stark imagery: “Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of Owl Creek bridge” (151). This line presents a cold, distant, and annotative description of death; there is little to invoke the representation of the life that has been lost. Yet, Bierce’s narrative up to this point has succinctly painted the picture of that life, its final moments and its desire to keep…

Rebecca McKenney Frontiers of Astronomy Mrs. Alburg 26 April 2017 Our Galactic Universe 1. Galaxies can be as large as a few thousand to several hundreds of thousands of light years across. 2. Astronomers, at the time this was released, believe that there are over a hundred billion galaxies in the universe. 3. It is estimated that a light year is 5.88 trillion miles. 4. Galaxies come in three different main type shapes. There are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. 5. Spiral galaxies…

The Kepler Telescope main instrument is a photometer. This instrument measures the brightness of stars within its field of view. Data is then gathered and analyzed to detect any variations or deviations of light which is caused by the transits of plants of host stars. These dips in light help in detecting planets in "Habitable Zones". Gliese-581g The planet Gliese 581g is one of six possible planets in the constellation Libra. This exoplanet was discovered in late September 2010. The main reason…

3. The mind palace (or brain attic) In one of the many stories that Conan Doyle wrote, Holmes tells Watson: “I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.” Then, the idea of the brain attic is not actually new, because this quote was published in 1891. The brain attic is not a very common idea, it is not usual to come across those words neither in literature nor in television, nevertheless, it is one of the most…
