The Way Home

Astronomers discovered a galaxy 9.8 billion light years away that creates an astounding 800 stars a year. To put this in perspective, the Milky Way produces two stars per year at most. “It is very exciting to have discovered such an interesting object,” said Gillian Wilson, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Riverside and a member of the research team. “Understanding its nature proved to be a real scientific challenge which required the combined efforts of an…

example of this is the following: the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way is called the Andromeda Galaxy. It is just over two and a half million light years away, which means that the light we see from there is just over two and a half million years old because this is the distance between us and the Andromeda Galaxy. Now imagine those numbers written out. Wait, don’t even attempt it, I’ll write them for you. The nearest galaxy to our Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy. It is just over…

How do stars form? The stars were born among the dust and scattered throughout the most galaxies. There is an example of dust cloud which is the Orion Nebula.The turbulence in the depths of these clouds produces enough mass of knots.Because its own gravitational attraction,and the gas and dust can begin to collapse. Then the material at the center begin to heat up which is known as protostar . The heart of the collapsing cloud will one day become a star. Since stars are formed from…

basic human want to know if we really are the only form of life in the universe and if there are any other planets out there with the same conditions needed for life as on Earth. Kepler has been “specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover hundreds of Earth-size and smaller planets in or near the habitable zone and determine the fraction of the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy that might have such planets.”(“Mission Overview | NASA”) Kepler is able…

Have you ever been in love with someone 22 years older than yourself? Well I am, his name is Lee Grinner Pace. I have many fandoms, or as some people like to say, obsessions, but Lee Pace is my main one. He might be mentioned a lot in this paper. As a Forest Grove transfer student, I have to ‘remind’ everyone/all the new people about my obsessions. There are things I want to do before my bucket gets kicked. For starters, I want to meet Lee Pace. This is because he is my idol and…

scientists have used to name this phenomenon when galaxies interact gives people a wrong picture on what happens, but even if the process is often slow in our standards the interaction has an impact on the galaxies involved and our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has been,…

and peace. I believe that funerals are a way to resolve grief, have closure from the tragic loss, moving on to the future, and accepting their loved ones death. My reflection will provide information,…

With the increasing cost of medical care, the US health system have been working tirelessly to find ways to reduce the cost and at the same time improve quality of care. Current US medical payment methods have continue to fail to support the system, which is apparent through the cost of care. For so many years the most dominant method for physician payment in the US is the fee-for-service method. In this method, payers reimburse for all services; meaning payment is based on the quantity of care…

runner a lane otherwise it is obstruction. If the runner hits the catcher or doesn’t slide when it is a close play at the plate then the runner is out. Some games come to a last-second play at the plate. This rule ends games in a very controversial way. I had a game end this past year because I was called for obstruction. It was a suicide squeeze and the runner…
