White Star Line

previously obtained through viewing and researching the film and also gain new answers to the list of questions we were required to address in our film paper. Something I found to be one of the most important ideas we discussion was the presence of the Star of David in the film. Esther treasured a necklace that was given to her by her family; strung onto this necklace was a beautiful crystal. Even though it was not mentioned in any of the historical documents my group members and I viewed, this…

history of the world. This means Primeval nebula means a cloud of gas and dust in outer space a long time ago. It was how people think the galaxy was created. This is saying that the universe was always there. The galaxy was created. Then all the stars and planets were created. They were all made from small clouds of dust and gas in space. The nebular hypothesis is the most widely used theory for the formation of the Solar System. It suggests that the Solar System was formed of nebulous…

How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky and you can see those objects in more and more detail.…

laid asphalt. The Exoplanet is two times less reflective than our own moon, which has an albedo of 0.12. WASP-12b orbits a sun like star named WASP-12A, which is about 1400 light years away. The Exoplanet's radius is almost twice the size of Jupiter and has a year of over just one earth day. WASP-12b is categorized as a hot Jupiter. Because it is so close to its parent star, WASP-12b has been stretched into an egg shape and its surface temperature is 2600 degrees Celsius. Astronomers think the…

the radiation of ordinary stars, AGNs are prominent across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Thus, astronomers needed to look beyond the visual regime to see their full potential. Recent technological advancements, such as satellite deployment, have enabled astronomers to explore energies once unattainable. In addition to the showing in a wide range of energies, AGNs also change in brightness on time scales from minutes to decades. It's no wonder then that some stars once thought to be…

There are many astronomers out there, but the one person that stood out to me was Edwin Hubble. It is because of Edwin, we now have a better understanding on the distance in the universe and that it’s expanding. His research was very remarkable that he had a telescope with his name. Since Edwin established the scale of the universe and laid the observational basis, he helped us understand what are galaxies like in the universe. To start off, Edwin noticed a Cepheid variable in the Andromeda…

wonder has fascinating stars that captivate your attention when you take the time to focus upon it. Location South and away from the Milky Way's band lies the constellation Delphinus the Dolphin. This tiny grouping of stars lies in the transition zone from that of the summer star filled skies to that of the sparse autumn skies. Once you have located Delphinus in the night sky, turn your telescope towards Gamma (y) Delphinus' snout. His snout is one of the most amazing double stars in the…

how accurate the Rydberg equation is at modeling helium transitions and finding the ionization energy from those transitions. To accomplish this aim, the spectra of hydrogen and helium were taken. According to the accurate predictions for hydrogen line frequencies and corresponding known transitions from the Rydberg equation, ratios were found for hydrogen transitions, and matching ratios for helium frequencies were assigned to transitions.…

These ranges fall along the boundary between bands for radio and microwave electromagnetic spectrum, and have longer wavelengths than optical light. This band of light allows astronomers to probe the dark cores of gas clouds to study the formation of stars and planet, and see a very distant light that was shifted to the red end of the spectrum. The electronic detector is called "front end" that amplifies and converts the radio signals received by each antenna ALMA should be kept to a cooling 4…

The planet Jupiter is one of the five objects to be visible from Earth in the solar system. Of these bodies it is the second largest behind the sun. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System with a mass of 1.899x1027kg orbiting at 5.2AU from the Sun. Jupiter is orbited by 67 moons of which the first four are called the Galilean moons as of their discovery in 1614 by Galileo. Jupiter formed about 4.6billion years ago from the cloud of dust and gas that made up the early Solar System.…
