Orion Nebula

Orion is my favorite constellation because it is one of the easiest to find and most recognizable. This makes it one of the most popular constellations. Orion's belt includes the three brightest stars in the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, Orion is a fall and winter constellation, visible from November to February. One of Orion's "stars" is actually a nebula, the Orion nebula.

One of the most familiar constellations in the night sky aside from the Big and Little Dipper is Orion, the Hunter. Made identifiable by the three bright stars that make up "Orion's Belt", Orion is easily recognized throughout the world due to the convenient position upon the celestial equator, allowing the constellation to be seen from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. I chose this constellation as my favorite because it was, in fact, one of the first myths that I had ever learned, and also because it was the easiest constellation that I was able to find from my Constellation Atlas as a child. The constellation of Orion is comprised of mostly of blue stars: young, hot burning, giant stars that range from 243 light years to 1,359

- They are both made up of the same matter. There is three different types of bright nebulae emission, reflection, and planetary nebulae. And dark nebulae’s are known as “holes in the heavens”.

A second key detail from the debate is the discovering of what nebulae really are and where they are located as well. This is important because it allows us

2008, hereafter Paper I). Par 1802, as a member of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC; Hillenbrand 1997), is considered to have an age of ∼1 Myr (Paper I). A follow-up analysis which included the radial velocity curves and the IC -band light curve found the components’ masses to be equal to within ∼2%, but their radii and effective temperatures to differ by ∼5–10% (Stassun et al. 2008, hereafter Paper II). They suggest that these disparate radii and temperatures are the result of a difference in age of a few hundred thousand

Findings revealed that the system is located 39 light years from the solar system and is in the constellation of Aquarius. The system is formed of at least seven planets that orbit around a star that according to trappist.one is 12 times less massive than the Sun (“About Trappist-1 p.1”). Following findings made by the TRAPPIST, Spitzer space telescope, the Very Large Telescope, UKIRT, the Liverpool Telescope, and the William Herschel Telescope revealed new planets in the system and more facts about the composition of the planets. The discoveries made about the planets in the Trappist-1 system show surprising and promising aspects that might be promising evidence for a habitable

The author states that V883 Orionis is 1,350 light-years away from Earth. It is young enough for

The life cycle of the star is a long process that has taken place for billions of years and will continue to take place long after our star is no longer in existence. In this essay I will be explaining the magnificent process of how a star is first born till the end of its life cycle. First, I will be explaining how the star is first formed in all its beauty big or small. Then, I will be explaining the path of an average star like our own sun will take. After, I will be explaining the journey of a massive star in all its glory till its destructive end. All stars are first formed in clouds of gas called nebulae, turbulence deep within the nebulae causes cores to form as the mass begins to grow the nebulae begins to collapse upon itself due to

The ultimate capability to support liquid water depends on other properties that are not known. There needs to be more studies on climate and geological models to assess chances of supporting life on this Earth-like planet. Finally, there were more observations of signals with longer periods but the data had poor fits and were unstable on time scales, so they were not used.

Original creation of the earth nebular hypothesis vs. six-day creation is the topic chosen for this article. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the difference between nebular hypothesis and the six day creation. The comparison is between old-earth and young-earth viewpoints on the original creation. Both views come from believers who are merely seeking truth and trying to understand God’s message.

The Carina Nebula is located in the Milky Way Galaxy in the constellation Carina in the Carina-Sagittarius Arm. It is sometimes referred to as the Eta Argus, referencing the former constellation, Argo Navis, which represented Jason and the Argonauts. It has been estimated at around 7500 ly (light-years) from earth. It was discovered in 1751-52 by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille and was later found to be one of the largest emission stars in the galaxy. Its entire mass is around 900,000 solar masses which is equivalent to 270 million pounds. It contains several open clusters of stars along with many O-type stars. It used to contain thousands of more stars than it does today, but many self-destructed. It is home to the Trumpler 14 and Trumpler 16

As a comet hunter Charles Messier came across what are known now to be galaxies, nebulae, planetary nebulae and star clusters. With help from his assistant Pierre Méchain, Messier composed a list of them. Messier done this to make it easier to differentiate between the comets they were looking for and other objects. The list is made up of the objects that they could see from the north celestial pole to a celestial latitude

William Herschel was an amateur astronomer. “During the day his house was a school of music. Suddenly, it was a telescope factory as well. During the night it was an observatory” (Littman, 6). In 1781, while completing his “second all-sky survey with one of his home-made telescopes”, he saw something he couldn’t specify as a comet or a nebula.

Because of this, the ALMA is used to observe very distant objects in order to determine the origins of the solar system. Some examples of the research that the ALMA has been used to conduct include the imaging of gas clouds forming into planets and stars, as well as the imaging of distant galaxies near the edge of the observable universe, which appears to us as it did 10 billion years ago. Some discoveries made by the ALMA include the finding of methyl cyanide in a gas cloud, which contain the nitrogen atom that is vital in order to make the building blocks of life; and the discovery of giant previously unseen carbon monoxide clouds between galaxies, which are a reservoir for the birth of more stars in the

What are nebulas? How did they come about? Nebulas are made up of dust, hydrogen helium and plasma. Nebulas, essentially gaseous clouds, are formed. A supernova is a star that collapses under its own gravity after it dramatically increases in its brightness. The first nebula, Dumbbell Nebula M27, was discovered by Charles Messier on July 12 1764. In 1784 William Herschel invented the name Planetary nebula after he had started comprehensively scanning the deep sky and discovered a famous planetary nebula, the Saturn Nebula NGC 7009 in 1782. The nebula theory, states that this theory is the most accepted evolutionary theory for the formation of the solar system from a cloud of gas and dust particles known as a nebula. The process starts with a rotating cloud of gas and dust that contracts and flattens to form a disk around a star forming at its centre. Planets grow from the dust and gas in the disk and are left behind when the disk clears. The process of a nebula forming is linked to the creation of
