Supernova

Astronomers are not entirely sure what happens inside the whole galaxy but what has been found is super novas, formation of planets, flares, birthing stars. Supernovae are stars which reach the end of their life span, two things can occur in a supernova, the core can accumulate too much matter causing the explosion, the second reasoning is that the core runs out of nuclear fuel and starts sucking in its own mass, it then cannot withstand its own gravitational pull causing the explosion. Flares…

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…

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…

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…

Over 104 years ago, on August 7th, 1912, an Austrian scientist named Victor Hess changed the Astronomy and Physics world forever when he discovered cosmic rays through a strange experiment that took place in a hot air balloon. Cosmic rays are high-energy, subatomic particles that appear outside the Earth’s atmosphere. These rays are known to strike to down on Earth, which may seem dangerous but even very energetic primary rays crash into the Earth’s atmosphere and they basically never make it to…

Marisol shone so brightly right then. She burned hotter than a supernova. She was so bright that even Julia couldn’t consume her light. Without a word to the teacher, Marisol marched her to the guidance counselor’s office. The door was closed, but Marisol didn’t knock. She just barged in, black hair streaming behind her…

introduces the concept of the Big Bang Theory. I even listened to the hissing sound of the universe, which the video calls “The echo of the Big Bang”. (Understanding the universe,2012). In addition, I heard about the concepts of black holes and supernovas.…

holes. But the same year Karl Schwarzschild proved that theory correct. And people have performed more and more experiments to enhance our understanding of black holes. In 2015 a star 25x the size of our sun was supposed to explode into a huge supernova but it got crushed under it's own weight and became a new black hole and that is the only black hole we have seen form in record. Our universe would be really different if we didn't have black holes so i'm going to tell you about how the…

The myth of the Ecological Indian, has influenced historians’ beliefs for centuries. The thought that Native American’s were a part of nature, never exploiting their resources, a primitive species, a peaceful people, is a stereotype that is proven wrong by the paramount chiefdom of Cahokia. The stratified community, of what was in its day, a powerful unprecedented empire in North America, calls into question who Native Americans were believed to be. Cahokia, a Mississippian culture, is one of…

Cosmos episode 13, “Unafraid of the dark”, begins by talking about the vast amount of scrolls and information that was kept in the library of Alexandria. Many of the books and scrolls were lost when the mob attacked and destroyed the library. This is shocking because of all the history of Ancient times that he's been lost due to the destruction of these books. Although we lost many discoveries, we as humans continue to learn new information about the universe. This begins the discovery of…
