    Another way for a supernova to be created, is when a white dwarf siphons off hydrogen from another star to the point where it will become unstable and explode. What is left after the huge explosion is another dwarf star, a neutron star, or the fierce black hole. A neutron star is about the size of a city like Los Angeles, but has the mass of about two suns. This means it is incredibly dense and has an unbelievable gravitational pull, almost 2 billion times that on earth. In fact, this pull is so strong

    The planets are seen orbiting around an enormous black hole, hence the name Gargantua. While there is little known about black holes, the movie accurately displays what our human eyes would see a black hole as. Research from NASA explains that “a black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out.” Keeping this in mind, the CGI creators show how light bends around the black hole due to the immense gravity. These waves of light are close enough

    A black vortex looking hole is speeding towards my face . I desperately try to move back but then again realizing that there is a fork in my back digging deeper and deeper. Closer and closer it gets,as I 'm trying to prepare myself for is yet to come . The hole gets closer and closer looking more like the underworld as every second passes. To my great horror the black hole sucking me in. I think to myself this is where I die. The black hole is getting closer and closer

    Stephen Hawking Stephen William Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 to Isobel and Frank Hawking in Oxford, United Kingdom. As a young boy, Stephen showed a passion for science and the sky. In his early years, Stephen was known as a bright kid outside of school. He was ranked third to last his first year at St. Albans, but that did not bother him because he had his mind set on things aside from school. Early Life Stephen Hawking is a Physics professor at Cambridge University, located

    Jessica Ledesma Mrs. Blank Honors Chemistry 11 October 2017 Stephen Hawking “Possibly the most famous Physicist since Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking…is regarded by many as the greatest genius of our day”. Stephen Hawking (a world-renowned Physicist) was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, United Kingdom. His parents were Frank and Isobel Hawking. His father, Frank, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Frank attended Oxford for a degree in college and became a doctor and well-respected

    Since we first gazed upon the heavens, man has been perplexed over where the bright lights in the sky have come from. This report will provide information for the birth and death of both low and high mass stars that is supported by scientifically proven statements and observations. It is the long held belief of many, that molecular clouds are the nurseries of stars. These dense clouds of gas are most often found in the spiral arms of galaxies. Obviously, smaller cloud produce low mass stars while

    pull; this is what we call a black hole. There are three main parts of a black hole, the singularity, the event horizon, and the ergosphere. The singularity of a black hole is a place of infinite density and gravity, space-time curves boundlessly around this point and the laws of physics come to a halt. The event horizon is often called the point of no return. Once past this boundary of space-time, nothing can escape the gravity of the black hole. When a black hole spins,

    mass. Low mass stars, from about 0.4 up to 8 solar masses will evolve from a planetary nebula to a white dwarf. Stars with larger the 8 solar masses will form supernovae, than either a neutron star for intermediate stars (8-25 solar masses) or a black hole for high mass stars (greater than 25 solar masses). Planetary Nebulae: After a low mass star has gone through its second expansion and its core has fused from helium to carbon, and even some of it to oxygen, it contracts again from the gravitation

    Energy extraction-Blandford-Znajek In the Blandford-Znajek process the black hole essentially acts as a massive conductor rotating with a high spin in a massive magnetic field created by the accretion disk. An induced voltage exists at the poles of the black hole and its equator, resulting in the disspiation of power by the deceleration of the rotation of the black hole; the resulting in power generated equals to P ≅ (4π/μo) B2RS2c where P is the estimated power generated, B is the magnetic field

    Artificial gravity is an application of force, resulting from acceleration, that creates a sense of gravity. It is often used in space to counteract the effects of weightlessness in astronauts. Artificial gravity can be created in many ways; for example, centripetal force, a force that makes a body follow a curved path, can cause artificial gravity. If a spaceship was to rotate from its center, the force of rotation would push the astronaut in the opposite direction, causing the astronaut to experience
