    both made discoveries associated with each other’s discoveries. Fritz Zwicky discovered dark matter, and supernovas. Supernovas play a part in the expanding universe. This is because supernovas brightness is observed by scientists to find their redshift. By doing so scientists can find how quickly the universe is expanding. To confirm this as stated in the “Dark Universe” article it says “Supernovas explode, and scientists observe the red shift.” Dark matter is the non-visible matter in space…

    Stars that are formed with different masses are thought to have different properties, such as low mass stars are more likely to turn into dwarf planets and high mass stars are more likely to turn into supernovas. Average stars like the sun usually become white dwarfs and the process of emitting its outer layers carry on until the stellar core is revealed which is known as a white dwarf. White dwarfs have the mass of a star but are the size of our planet which arose various questions along the…

    the star is. The protostar starts forming when colossal clouds of frigid molecular hydrogen and helium collapse because of conjoint gravity. The spark of the collapse could have been caused by a galaxy collision, or the shockwave of a neighboring supernova. This collapse causes the cloud to break into fragments. These fragments start to grow as more and more molecules start to attach creating a protostar. The new star starts to increase in temperature, because of the switch from gravitational…

    they sent him to Hypernova; a group of bounty hunters who occupied the entire solar system of Hyperforce x. Hyperforce x as created when the massive star Helios 5 went supernova and turned the planets in its solar system to pure metal rendering them lifeless. Then Hypernova harvested the metal to build the massive ships the Supernova and the Thunderstruck, which have a powerful gravity and magnetism effect allowing them to literally tow planets to Hyperforce…

    Stellar Nebula : This is a cloud full of superheated gases. They range in size from millions of miles across to hundreds of light years across. This Nebula appears larger but is barely visible in the sky. Some Nebulas can be seen with a naked eye, this one can not because it does not glow as bright as others. This star isn’t as bright as others because it is larger.…

    planet with life. One of the reasons that this Earth-like planet is hard to find is the time delay between what we see from Earth and when things actually happen in deep space. In Bauman’s article after explaining how a Utah astronomer watched a supernova explode through his home telescope, he talks about the time delay by “assuming the latest estimate of the distance to the Fireworks…

    and theories that will be summarised are how the Big Bang theory had created the very first and lightest elements in our universe, and also how red giants have contributed to creating more elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen whilst the supernovas had contributed to creating elements heavier than iron such as Uranium and Gold. Another major theory that can be summarised from the report is that Dmitri Mendeleev had made himself a major breakthrough with his discovery of the periodic table…

    Pulsars are neutron stars after exploded in the supernova. It spins and released pulse of radiation at constant frequency. At the time of discovery, it was believed that after star has exploded in supernova, everything dispersing into space, leaving nothing behind. In 1930, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwiki when the supernova occurred, the core of the star would shrink into the neutron rich dense ball. Finding of the pulsars which are the leftover of supernova releasing emission became the first…

    Supernova can occur in one of two ways, either near the end of the star life or in a binary star system. Inside of a binary star system one of the stars would need to be a white dwarf which is a star who has depleted most of its energy and begins to take away energy from the other star in the system ("What Is a Supernova?"). If it were too depleted too much energy from the other star it would begin to go supernova due to raising its core temperature, igniting…

    A supernova takes place when, first, nuclear fusion stops, then the layers of the sun fall inward towards the iron core at light speed and finally bounce off the core and explode. (Stellar Death) During nuclear fission chain reactions take place. “A chain reaction…
