Andromeda Galaxy

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

Space the final frontier. There is an enticing about space- a gravitational pull toward its airless environment. Telescopes, the one that changed how we view our place in the galaxy. The thing that changed the science of astronomy. They allowed us to view things that were previously invisible to the human eye. With telescopes, scientists could look beyond from our little green and blue planet. From the earliest telescopes, such as Galileo’s age to the Hubble telescope used today, they have allowed

What we can Learn about Stars using Spectra The stars have always been a source of wonder because they are so distant. We have been unable to know much about these celestial bodies for so long; however, with the use of spectra scientists are able to learn more than you would think. Emission and absorption spectra have been hiding a vast amount of knowledge, astronomers and physicists are just now learning how to sift through all of the information that the spectra hold. We have been able to learn

The Big Bang theory. The Big Bang, what is it? What does it tell us? How do we know that The Big Bag is a viable theory? The BIg Bang theory is currently the best theory (astro)physicists and cosmologists have to describe the beginning of the universe in which we live. The theory also has implications on how cosmologists think the universe will end. We call it the big bang as it was originally thought of as a preposterous theory; That the universe didn 't exist at some stage and then it just decided

shoot them off into outer space. The place for my planet is in the Triangulum Galaxy. The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy about 2.7 million light years (25761569076837520000km)away from Earth. The solar mass of the Triangulum Galaxy is 50 billion Mʘ (standard unit of mass in Astronomy). This galaxy has about 40 billion stars which is 1/5th of how many there are in the Milky Way Galaxy. And 1/25th 's of the Andromeda Galaxy. The name of my planet is Frigusodayin (Cold Air)(Latin, Armenian). The first

No matter when we consider the beginning of time, there will always be the question of origin. "And before then- what?" The origin of the universe remains a mystery, but extrapolation from current working models can be used to speculate about the universe 's early development. The leading theory on the early development of the universe is the Big Bang theory, which puts forth the idea that the universe expanded from a singularity, or a single point.[1] The Big Bang laid the seeds that lead to the

of humanities dawning intellect, it was a mere accident. The scientific community had no inkling that the universe was made up of more than what we can see until the 1930’s. A Swiss astronomer—Fritz Zwicky—was measuring the speed of the orbits of galaxies in the Coma Cluster (Ferris). His calculations indicated that the

Theory of Relativity that relates to space, time and gravity. Willem de Sitter, Aleksandr Friedmann and Georges Lemaitre later applied Theory of Relativity to the Universe and confirmed that the Universe could be expanding. Vesto Slipher observed that galaxies were moving from us than approaching us. Edwin Hubble discovered that universe was smaller in the past and has been expanding. The Big Bang Theory states that the universe began by expanding from a small volume to a large volume with high density

How the Big Bang Evolved into Life On Earth Should we as humans expect to find intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe? There are many reasons for and against this concept, but first we should trace just how our terrestrial life started. The beginning of time and the universe began with the Big Bang. This was an explosion that started the expansion of the universe. In the most basic sense, the standard model is simply the idea that every bit of the matter and energy in the universe was once

Significant Discoveries Funding was approved in 1977 for a Large Space Telescope in 1977 and in 1983 it was renamed Hubble Space Telescope in honor of astronomer Edwin P. Hubble who discovered evidence of an expanding universe and the existence of other galaxies. Work was completed in 1985 and it was launched and deployed from the Space Shuttle Discovery in April of 1990, 350 miles above earth. Since its deployment, there have been five services, each service to perform corrective and preventive maintenance
