Night Sky Research Paper

1. The earth’s sun is a star, it generates heat and light through nuclear fusion.

Moon shadow is a young boy from the motherland aka China. Moon shadows dad works in america or as the call it the land of the golden mountain. White people and anyone from America are called demons. His dad was a kite maker and made very nice kites that moon shadow would fly with his mom. Hand clap who brought them a letter was his dad’s cousin, His dad wanted him to come to America to be with him to help him work. Moon shadow made up his mind and decided to go. Moon shadow is scared and nervous to go to America. Hand clap takes him over and passed all the security and they make it to America, and he meets his dad. Moon shadow meets the whole crew, besides Black dog on the docks of the harbor. They go to the Chinatown, then they make their way to the

Moon Shadow, a Tang boy in the Middle Kingdom, otherwise known as China, lives with his mother and grandmother. His father, Windrider, is in the “Land of the Golden Mountain”, or America, in seek of money to send to his family, and bring them overseas. Moon Shadow’s grandfather died in America on the ship dock years before because he was lynched, or hanged, by the “demons”, or white people in America. Because of this tragic event, Moon Shadow’s mother does not ever want to or talk about the Land of the Golden Mountain, Grandfather, or her husband. All she ever says is “... He was a maker of most marvelous kites…” However, one day a distant cousin of Windrider’s, Hand Clap, comes with a message for Moon Shadow: Windrider wants Moon Shadow to

Dreams lead to false hopes and are deceiving! That’s at least what some say. But throughout the dream unit we have seen and have read about achieving our dreams and not going the distance. It is worth it to dream because dreams give us hope and purpose, working hard at our dreams can have a great outcome, and Dreams can lead to more than we can imagine.

Stargazing is often thought to be something lovers would do on a date or something of a hobby. Astronomers and scientists of all kinds make their careers out of it every day.

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars,” said Les Brown. Throughout the dream unit we have seen lots of videos of people who have achieved their dreams. But also of some people who didn’t achieve their dreams after they worked for it. But they ended up in the stars and were happy with what they did achieve. But just because some people don’t always achieve their dream doesn’t mean everyone can’t there’s a chance to achieve the dreams. But if we don’t we can still end up with part of the dreams or still achieve something.

Art is a form of expression that can be interpreted through different perspectives. Some people may think an elaborate painting that took hours to create is art, such as The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh or Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. Others may consider graffiti painted by teenagers on the side of the fence is art like modern graffiti artist Banksy. How many people would say faces painted on the sidewalks, trees covered in shopping carts and stuffed animals was considered to be art? Many people would nod and say no or give a confused look to such unorthodox form of art. In Detroit, Michigan there is such a place like this and people from the area consider it to be art. These collections of art work have even won several awards and recognitions.

Have you ever had one of those days where you’d take a nice walk in the night time and just gaze into the night sky, and when you look up you see a bunch of beautiful stars. Well, if you have taken a closer look you may have noticed that the stars have patterns that create images called constellations. Constellations are a group of stars that are connected together to represent mythological images of animals and objects from the past that is located in the celestial sphere 1, 3. They were mainly discovered by the early people, primarily used as references to coordinate directions, measure time, predict farming seasons, and for religious studies3. According to the International Astronomical Union, there are 88 constellations in the sky, but

The sky has been a major attraction for astronomers, scientist, and many civilizations of the past hundreds of years. What are Constellations? Why are they so important? The science of finding out what all these amazing stars in the sky first begin when ancient civilizations begin seeing patterns, which they shaped out a variety of images while stargazing has had different meanings for different cultures, this can be seen with the Big Dipper. The topics discussed will include a summary of the history of how the constellations came to be, also a brief overview of how the IAU came about, and recent findings made by the IAU in the past 10 years.

The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. The descriptive "milky" is derived from the appearance from Earth of the galaxy a band of light seen in the night. From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis and an observation by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies.

The modern constellation system comes from the ancient Greeks, but the information comes from a Greek poem called Phaenomena written about 270 B.C by Greek poet named Aratus. Today we know that this isn't the first discovery of the constellations, but no one knows for sure who first discovered them.But we do have a possible theory; which comes from the fact that Aratus’ constellations didn't include any from the south hemisphere that area of the sky was below the horizon of the ancient constellations-makers. This shows us that the people responsible for the original constellations lived near a latitude of 36° north--south of Greece, north of Egypt; this is similar to the latitude of the ancient Babylonians

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is on of the most incredibly demanding and far-reaching astronomical survey ever attempted, so far having created the some of the most detailed three-dimensional maps of the Universe that have ever been made, with deep multi-colour images of a significant portion of the sky (about one third), and spectra for over three million celestial objects.

When you picture a sunset you may only see the beauty behind it. Often times you may not look at a sunset and wonder why the sun sets the way it does. The answer is physics. Physics is in every sunset and makes the sunset the way it is. The first change you see when viewing this stunning phenomenon-taking place is the coloration of the sun. According to the physics of sunsets, “On an airless world like the Moon, the Sun at sunset would look no different than at any other time” (Ethan, 2013). In reality, we are not in an airless world and our atmosphere is what makes the sunsets so spectacular and looking nothing like the sun at all when it sets. In order to reach our eyes, the sun needs an immense amount of light to pass through our atmosphere.

The topic that will be discussed is why stars twinkle at night, and how technology has been enhanced to produce clear images of the stars. The stars twinkling was fist investigated in 1956 by the US air force Dr. William Protheroe and Dr. William Blitzstein are conducting the inquiry from the University of Pennsylvania observatory in Philadelphia.
