Third Way

Many Mizzou students are surprised to hear that the campus is home to an observatory. In fact, the observatory has been serving Mizzou students for over 100 years. The observatory is named after university president Samuel Laws, who personally donated $2,000 to help finance the new observatory for the university. The observatory has had multiple locations on campus before reaching its current spot on top of the Physics Building shortly after its 1964 construction. Galileo Galilei is widely…

Nasa’s spitzer and Hubble space telescopes have discovered a massive galaxy creating more and more new stars. The way that this massive cluster has been formed so quickly is by feeding off gases from other galaxies. Tracy Webb of McGill University explained that usually a star in the center of a galaxy is old and dead, but this new cluster within this rare galaxy is creating new stars very quickly by merging with other smaller galaxies. Clusters are families of galaxies bound together by the…

Later in their stay the Germans collected all radios but skipped over the one hidden away in their attic. Marie-Laure's father is called back to the Museum but is arrested on his way there. Schulpforta, the Nazi school, is worse than Werner had imagined, he finds his only friend in a fragile boy named Frederick with a love for birds. Frederick is picked out as the weakest and is brutally beaten, resulting in permanent brain damage…

1st Root Race: Ethereal Beings from outer space were the first Intelligent Life on Earth and comprised both Good and Evil Beings, i.e., we had both Benevolent and Power-Hungry Beings. These Beings were led to Earth by beings that had already evolved on other planets both in our solar system and beyond…Sanat Kumara was one of them. 2nd Root Race: Beings born from the interaction of ethereal beings and primitive humans and therefore Half Ethereal and Half Human. This race is now extinct… 3rd…

Discovery of Uranus William Herschel had a few motivations that led to his discovery of Uranus. However, “[he] spent most nights observing nebulae, looking for double stars, and searching for signs of life on other worlds.” (Ruskin 282) He basically discovered Uranus by accident supposing at first that it was a comet. After sharing his find with other astronomers, they questioned whether it was a comet at all. One astronomer named Nevil Maskelyne “suggested that [it] might be a planet” but it…

why they fall from orbit? Why do the stars appear different colors when seen through a specialized telescope? Curious about the mythology of stars and why people use them for guidance? Throughout history people have used the stars to navigate their way around.…

this is false, but people can never be too careful. Many individuals claim the radio signals scientists have been monitoring from 3 billion light-years away are proof. Some claim the probability of aliens not existing is far too low, and there is no way Earth hosts the only intelligent life forms out there. Others claim the government is hiding the proof from the public, with the evidence kept in secret underground bunkers. Whether aliens are peaceful creatures, just studying the universe around…

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…
