The Andromeda Galaxy

I chose the constellation Andromeda because the back story and myths it has really fascinates me! I feel that some of the myths behind the consolations can be rather boring, but with the romance and danger all wrapped into one, I continue going back to it. This constellation is the 19th largest in the sky and is located in the first quadrant of the northern hemisphere. It takes seven-hundred-twenty-two square feet in the sky!

This problem wasn't solved until the 1920s, when Edwin Hubble devised the first method of extragalactic distance measurement. His technique relied on stars known as Cepheid variables, whose luminosities can be easily determined by measuring their rates of pulsation. Comparing this luminosity with the stars' observed brightness allowed Hubble to estimate the distance to Cepheid stars in such galaxies, affirming their extragalactic location.

The Andromeda Strain is a book about 4 men trying to find a cure for the Andromeda strain and prevent an outbreak. The book starts in the town of Piedmont, Arizona where the Scoop VII satellite crash landed carrying unknown bacteria collected from the upper atmosphere. The rest of the book took place in a secret government facility in Flat Rock Nevada. The facility has 4 levels. To go down to the next levels the characters had to be tested and decontaminated before they can go down. The main characters spend most of their time at the bottom of the facility where they do all of their research to eliminate the Andromeda Strain. Before Dr. Stone and Dr. Burton traveled to piedmont to collect the satellite and they discovered that two people were still alive. The two people still alive were a baby and Peter Jackson. Dr. Stone then took both of them to the facility in Nevada.

Those who study Astronomy, both muggle and wizard alike, are aware of the constellation Andromeda, or "The Chained Woman. " Andromeda is one of the largest constellations in modern times. The Chained Woman is a source of fascination to many, including me. The constellation can be found in Greek, Chinese, Hindu and even ancient Babylon history. Nearly all the myths that involve Andromeda are based off a woman chained to a rock, yet the Chinese believed that the constellation was 4 different parts, all representing different parts of either Chinese history or myths.

The map showed researchers that the stars are on the move in the Milky Way. From the information collected, about thirty percent of the stars in the Milky Way had moved from

Tired of games always taking place on the same planet? Do you want to go out into space and unleash your inner space pirate? Or are you just looking for games where you can explore the galaxy? Then take a look at this list, you are sure to find something that you’ll love playing.

Andromeda is the name of my country. It is 150 miles from the nearest land. My subjects have been debating on which religion our country should have. I believe that we should have religious freedom because everyone deserves the right to worship what they believe in, my people should not have to worship what they don’t believe in, and my people will not have to fight over which religion they want.

I chose the Andromeda constellation because Greek mythology is very interesting to me, and I love the story behind this constellation. Andromeda is most prominent during autumn evenings in the Northern Hemisphere.

Some names for this constellation are: "the Chained Lady" or "the Chained Woman." It is also known as "Persea" where she was Perseus's wife. Yet another name is Cepheis since she was Cepheus's daughter. I chose this constellation because Andromeda was an Ethiopian princess. I don't know why but this story always fascinated me because I love Greek and Roman Gods and myths.

A galaxy is a huge collection of dust, gases and stars. A galaxy is created right after the birth of a universe and held together, it is constantly moving through space. There are four different kinds of galaxies: spiral, barred spiral, elliptical and irregular. (Spiral Galaxies) A typical spiral galaxies can be define by how its form, structure, and characterize.

The Orion Nebula is one of the closest stellar regions to the Earth. Using parallax measurements, it has been estimated that this nebula is only 1,500 light years away. In addition, the Orion Nebula is a

The Milky Way is flat and disk shaped collection of gas dust and stars. It is 100,000 light years across and 7,000 light years thick. The Milky Way’s dish has two major spiral arms and two minor ones that comes together in of the galaxy. In the center of the disk is a cylinder bar that has a collection of old red stars. The Milky Way is visible on a moonless night only if you are in very dark spot where you would see a faint fuzzy glow in the sky. If Sagittarius and Scorpius are visible you notice it more. Galileo noticed that the Milky Way was made up of thousands of stars that were so close together, that you could see it with the naked eye and blend together to create a glow.

As stated on nasa.gov, “Hubble has made more than 1.2 million observations since it’s missions began in 1990.” Hubble has also expanded astronomers knowledge about the universe and space as a whole. The most famous observation made by this telescope was that of galaxies beyond our own, Milky Way, and discovering that the universe is much larger than further predicted. Before this telescope, ground based telescopes could only see into our galaxy and could not reach any further. Therefore, it was thought that the Milky Way was the only galaxy included in space and the universe. Due to the fact, Hubble’s telescope, expands and allows for the study across a wider light spectrum, astronomers can see beyond further predicted. Another famous observation, studied by astronomers was that of the study of uncharted territories of the cosmos. As proposed on hubblesite.org, “It became increasingly clear to astronomers that Earth’s atmosphere distorted starlight, which made it difficult to obtain razor-sharp views of celestial objects. The idea of placing a telescope in space, above Earth’s turbulent air, had been kicked around for several years. But scientists pondered how to transport a telescope into space.” That was until, Hubble’s creation that displayed imagery of the cosmos. Once again it had accomplished a feat that had troubled ground based telescopes. In

The galaxy contains more than a trillion galaxies, each with millions of stars and countless amounts of planets. So, the project “Galaxy Zoo” aims to classify some of these distant galaxies within the universe according to their shapes and appearances. Started in 2007, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey contributed around a million images of various galaxies in hopes to gain a better understanding about how galaxies form and what dark matter is. So, this paper will explore interesting findings within the classification process and the project’s educational impact.

The Milky Way received its name from the milky, white band of stars that go across the celestial sphere visible from Earth. However, in Greek mythology, it is said that Zeus placed his mortal son, Heracles on Hera’s breast while she was asleep so the baby could breastfeed to become immortal. When she had awoken to a strange baby feeding off of her, she pushed Heracles away and a stream of milk sprayed through the night sky forming the Milky Way. It is estimated that about 200 to 400 billion stars are located within the galaxy. The Milky Way is also one of the larger galaxies that have a circumference of about 300 thousand light-years!
