Short Story : The Star

Long before Life reached Earth, the Stars were discussing among themselves. They all wanted their own space, and to remain close to each other. Many wanted to watch Life grow in it's more primitive, small form. Many stars went far away to to other galaxies, both cold and lonely and soon-to-be full of life. But this story happens on our own galaxy, the Milky Way, were 6 stars were disputing between themselves who'd be the Pole stars. And so it went, that the stars fought and

Throughout generations stories were passed down about how things could've been created like the earth, mankind, and even the stars. Every culture and religion has their own myth of how things came to be. The Hindu’s, Native American’s, and the Chinese all made up stories about how the stars were created.

In the poem “Of the Threads That Connect the Stars” by Martin Espada, a father and his son are looking up at the night sky, stargazing. Having a father and son moment both go into a conversation, the father asks his son “Did you ever see stars” (1). The poem goes through three generations, the speaker and his father, then the speaker and his son. The father was a former boxer and that was his own understanding of stars, then he had a son (the speaker) that had a rough upbringing, he never got an opportunity to witness "the stars" or “galaxies”, but once he (the speaker) had a son he seen real stars, the planets etc.

Tycho began to gain fame as an astronomer after reporting on a “new star” in 1572. Tycho saw a very bright star in Cassiopeia on November 11th, 1572. He fixed its position with regards to the other stars in the constellation, and continued to observe it. It began to fade in brightness early the next year, and was only as bright as Polaris within six months. He also reported on the color changes, from brilliant white to yellow to red and back to red within that same six months (Hall 274). These careful observations helped springboard his career as an astronomer, and he published his findings on “De Nova Stella” or “the New Star” in 1574.

Journal Entry 1, Pages 1-15 Starting off, I can already predict this book is going to be very controversial with the whole topic of whether or not science should be allowed to “play the role of God”. So far I believe Charlie is a very likable and friendly character. I also believe due to his mental state he is very vulnerable. I agree strongly with Prof Nemur when he said, “We will use Charlie.

Ever lonely star I see above me, is like a lonely person waiting for another star to come along. As another star comes along it shines that bright that there isn’t no other to compare with. He was the brightest star in the night, others seemed dull by comparison. Non-stop conversations began, and I started losing sleep. I got excite,a feeling I haven’t felt for a long time. We had even given each other nicknames, Blancss and Nakss, who had shared adventures, and a song that was randomly picked, Counting Stars.

An astronomer killed my religion. More accurately, reading an astronomer’s carefully chosen and thoughtful words changed my life forever. I was raised in a strict religious home in my early childhood. Both my parents were Jehovah’s Witnesses, and being the good Witnesses that they were, they often chose to shelter their children from the worldly influences surrounding them. There were many things in life forbidden to me, many truths locked away. Unfortunately for my parents, I’ve always been curious about the world and literacy was my key. It wasn’t until I was 13 years old when I first discovered Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space. Reading Sagan’s reflections on the world and humanity ignited something in me that had been smoldering for a long time; the idea that I did not need religion to find purpose and meaning in life, rather I must only look within myself.

I knew from the very first minute that I would not like this place. You just get that feeling, you know? The feeling that you’re just going to have a terrible time and should back out as soon as possible. That was what I was suppose to be feeling. Feeling. I’m not really suppose to feel anything, as I am diagnosed as a functioning sociopath. Something that our culture has made to be evil characters in their twisted webs that they call stories. Isn’t that what I am? Another pawn in another murder story? Of course, my therapist says otherwise, but she is disgusting and doesn't know anything. You can see the whiskers on her upper lip move as she talks, or the fact that her whole mound of fat jiggles when she walks. That women is one thing that I am definitely not going to

Meet Blackie. She’s the main character of the story. She’s an eighth grader and an amazing artisan. She was born on October 23, 2003 and she is an only child. Her parents tragically died when she was only ten. She is an Anisa, who lives in Sogenia. Now that you know most of the stuff, let’s jump into the story, shall we?

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

In summer of 1609, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) pointed his revolutionary astronomical telescope to the heavens under the starry Venetian sky; his greatly important observations unveiled the mysteries of universe and would end up changing the course of scientific thought forever. Galileo lived in an age where there was much status quo, when scientists and philosophers would accept scientific and religious doctrine that had stood for hundreds, if not thousands, of years instead of challenging the accepted knowledge in favor of intellectual progress. Galileo’s scientific methods lead to significant discoveries explaining key scientific laws, such as the

The day July 20, 1969, was a special day for all the US people where we can hear the countdown over and over again on the radio stations. “10, 9, ignition sequence start, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zero. All engines running. Liftoff! We have a liftoff! Thirty-two minutes past the hour. Liftoff on Apollo 11!' Jack King, the Chief of Public Information and Public Affairs Officer for NASA announced the successful launch of the first human moon mission. That was the first time we truly got out of our little cage to see the space that is around us. The moon, the sun, and the galaxy is what we had been dreaming of since we are a little kid. In fact, look back toward the timeline of our history, we can find all the myth about the stars

The STARS program is a process that most students have not even heard about, as a first time student myself, I was not even aware that the program existed. Most people might wonder what STARS is, for instance, STARS, however, stands for “Statewide Transfer and Articulation Reporting System.” It is an agreement that mostly a two-year college and most public four-year colleges in Alabama has that give all the transferring of courses taken to a public university in Alabama. In addition, most student wonder how to connect to STARS through their school site, it is an easy process; most colleges will have a link at the top of their website that will lead straight to the STARS site. However, from there STARS will give student instructions on how

Since the beginning of recorded civilization, stars played a huge role in religion and proved vital to routing. The invention of the telescope, the discovery of the “laws of motion” and gravity in the 17th century prompted the

"Marco," Star starts, her excitement beginning to dim as they walked on. "I 'm sorry, for this I mean." She gave a glance at the back of Marco 's head, stepping quickly to reach his side. "I never wanted this to turn out so badly."
