The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the original creation of the earth from an old-earth secularist view as well as the view from a young-earth creationist’s perspective. Ultimately, the intent is to highlight these opposing views in an attempt to…

spacecraft telescope observatory launched by NASA on March 7th, 2009 with the primary purpose of discovering Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. The observatory named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, is designed to survey our section of the Milky Way in order to discover hundreds of Earth-sized extrasolar planets with livable conditions, to estimate how many stars are found within our galaxy, and create a better understanding of how planetary system’s light years away compare to our own.…

The star outside your spaceship's windshield is a spectacular sight. HR 5171 A is a fireball 1,300 times larger than the Earth's sun. It's so big that if it were in our sun's position, it would swallow up Earth beneath its 10,000°F surface. To look at it from your spaceship, you have to wear special goggles--this star is almost a million times brighter than our sun. As you watch HR 5171A burn, you notice something strange. An object is peeking over the horizon, growing larger and larger. It's…

Some people usually have a confused look on them whenever they hear the word Parallax. Parallax or image focus adjustment accomplishes two things; focuses the image on the scope and allows the shooter to estimate the distance to the target. The parallax is an adjustment where the focal plane of the rifle scope is offset to the target while looking through the scopes reticle. The parallax is basically an optical illusion needing correction and should not be confused with the focus. Changing a…

The universe is filled with a vast amount of galaxies of various shapes and sizes. A galaxy is defined as a system of millions or billions of stars with gas and dust held together by gravitational attraction. There are several types of galaxy types: elliptical, spiral and irregular. Spiral galaxies are galaxies which usually have a large mass in the middle with arms branching off of it containing stars and star systems (Swinburne University of Technology, n.d.). All of the objects orbiting the…
