Supernova

The spectacle that we call the Super Bowl is nonetheless amazing to the senses; not only the eyes, but the heart. The money making super giant that is the NFL, continually surprises, amazes and ultimately disappoints us in ways we forget, year after year. In this discussion, football shall be a focal point, but not the main topic. Our topic concerns something much larger than football (Huh? Gasp! Couldn’t be!), a topic that is intertwined with everything and anything we do; the sociology of our…

Time is a concept that for a long time was thought to be untouchable. This was until black holes were discovered. These collections of matter hold the seemingly supernatural effect to alter time as we know it. A black hole is a star that has collapsed and become so dense that it creates a gravitational field strong enough that nothing, not even light, can escape. When a star dies it leaves behind a very dense remnant core. If the core’s mass is more than three times the mass of the sun, the…

Callaway wasn't the first to pursue the lost garden. Columbus went inspecting for it in Venezuela. Dr. Livingstone presumed it was in Zambia. John Calvin preached that it lay hidden in Iraq. William Warren, the president of Boston University, took a sabbatical Arctic cruise to confirm its location at the pole. The Garden has been the illusory dream of scientists, kings, writers, and at least one contrarian Southern lawyer. It is a story so compelling they’ve sometimes abandoned gold, tenure,…

A teacher’s goal is to maximize his or her student’s potential. Traditionally, the biggest challenge for students with disabilities was to meet their needs in the areas of social, behavioral, cognitive, perceptive and motor skills (Adebisi et al. 14). A learning disability is defined by the Schwab Foundation as a person who is diagnosed by a professional with a difficulty as a result of a CNS dysfunction in the areas or reading, writing, math, science, reasoning speaking, or listening. In order…

lack a true depiction of how hard and dirty the work really is. An example of a modernize Latina maid would be the film Maid in Manhattan. Jennifer Lopez, born and raise in the Bronx, NY, from Puerto Rican parents, was considered to be a “Latina supernova” (Rodriguez, pg. 220). She rose to fame after her depiction of Tex-mex iconic singer Selena. She is an actress that has been able to attract multiple audiences across different platforms. It was surprising to me that she took on the role of a…

Introduction The Anasazi were American Indians who disappeared around 1300 A.D. No one knows what happened to the Anasazi, just that they were once a well-developed civilization. The Anasazi grew and hunted for their own food, until one day, they were just gone. The Anasazi left everything behind: cooking pots, baskets, clothing, and food. Some say that they might have migrated to a different place because they were in the middle of the Great Drought which took place in the 13th century. Others…

There are two events that stand out: an astronomical event, or a fictional event. Astronomical event is an even such as a nova, supernova or meteors. However, most of these options do not fit into the description given of the star. This theory is hard to understand because the timing of these events must match perfectly with the time zone that they are considering for when Jesus was…

The Sun and Our Star - Have you ever questioned as to how and why we are able to dry our clothes in the summer, and to be able to heat food and treat our water? - This all thanks to the sun - Without the sun, we all would be dead, it gives us light, heat and energy to heat up the Earth - Most of the energy stays inside of the sun because of its gravitational pull, and all small amounts leave the surface in the form of radiant energy Type of star: Age: Yellow dwarf 4.5 Billion Years…

XMM Newton:- The XMM-Newton (X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission or High Throughput X-ray Spectroscopy Mission) is an orbiting X-ray observatory launched in December 1999 by ESA (European Space Agency). ). XMM-Newton is the biggest satellite ever built in Europe. It is used for the detection of soft portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (100 eV to 12 keV).Using its large collecting area and highly eccentric orbit, it is making long observations of X-ray sources with extremely high sensitivity. It is…
