The Hard Way

M. Alqadhi Dr. Bret Lehmer Investigating the Possible Suggested Binary System of the Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) Introduction and Background In 1764, Messier observed an intriguing celestial object that is known today as the Dumbbell Nebula or M27 as Messier named it in his catalogue of unclear nebulous objects. As many other similar objects were observed, astronomer noticed their similarity to the disk of a planet and that explains the reason behind their name, Planetary Nebulae (PNe).…

What makes an organization “great” is the way they structure themselves with the goal that customer satisfaction is extremely important with how prosperous they want to be. A mission statement that they stand by also ensures that there is always a goal they’re trying to achieve. Having a very motivated group of individuals in the organization will make sure that they take care of the things necessary to become as successful as possible. Anyone that is employed at an organization has their own…

uses effective literary strategies in order to turn us against Chua, but at the same time opens our eyes to the idea that she is no better than us Americans. He exploits Chua’s parenting flaws right from the beginning, and takes repeated stabs at the way she punishes her kids. Statistical data is included in the article to establish supporting evidence , and to make his writing credible. Finally, he negates Chua’s sense of hierarchy, in order to prove…

remember a few things. First, take your time. Few good problem solvers solve problems fast. Second, don't give up. You will never solve a problem if you don't try. Last, be flexible. If a first you don't succeed, try another way. And if the second way doesn't work, try a third way.      There are a few steps to solving a problem that you should follow. First, read the problem very carefully. Try to understand every word and make sure you know what the problem is asking.…

strategic supplier relationships that will assist in VF Brands providing a cost saving production process. Accomplishing the feat of keeping supply costs down based on region of the company owned plant or cases of providing guidance as a part of the “Third Way”, chain supply strategy will benefit VF Brands and their suppliers. We must always keep in mind that lining up creditable sourcing requires an enormous investment in time, as they need to be visited and capabilities carefully assessed.…

Today Andres and his younger brother, Joshua, went to the Holocaust Museum with their school. They were the only ones with a grandfather who had died in the Holocaust. The museum was very beautiful and posh, all made of black marble, like millionaires’ houses. It was full of sad black-and-white pictures and lists of people, countries, and dead people. Andres walked past the pictures and his teacher said: "Don 't touch!" But Andres did touch one picture, made of cardboard, showing a thin, pale…

within two dozen years.” – Dr. Seth Shostak, Director of Communications for SETI Look up into a clear night sky in a city, and you might see a small handful of pinpricks of light dotting the sky. Move out to the suburbs, where there’s less in the way of light pollution, and you’ll see a few more. Keep traveling away from population and artificial light – down a deserted highway, or out into a dark forest – and the sky begins to explode with thousands of stars, each of which could have their…

V. The Cat’s Eye Nebula One of the most famous nebulae is the Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC-6543); it was discovered by William Herschel in 1786. NGC-6543 is located in the northern constellation of Draco; it appears as a blooming center with surrounding and expanding rings. The NGC-6543 has a historical importance because it was the first nebula to be studied spectroscopically by the astronomer William Huggins in 1864; this study revealed the distinctions between PNe and the other gaseous nebulae.…

NGC 584 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Cetus. The galaxy was discovered on 10 September 1785 by the German-British astronomer William Herschel. Number 20 in the Herschel 400 list is NGC 584. NGC 584 is a moderately large and bright elliptical galaxy in Cetus. In an 18 inch telescope it appears as an elongated patch of light with a bright center. The two bright galaxies either side of NGC 584 are the 13.2 magnitude NGC 582; (left) and the 15.2 magnitude PGC 1028168. (Right). While…

distance, they measure the distance of the shift, also considering the diameter of the Erath’s orbit. Then the angle of the parallax is measured. The smaller the angle of the parallax shift is, the farther away the star is from the earth 2) The way that we determine the luminosity of a star is by using a formula L = 4πd^2b. 3) To measure stellar masses we need to measure the properties of the stars in binary systems. 4) In order to measure the radius of the star there are 3 things…
