Bright star

much more than just bright shining dots. They are series of stars that are billions and trillions of light years away. These stars have history and myths behind their bright light which makes them much more than what they seem to be. The more commonly known constellations are the twelve horoscopes. Cancer is one of twelve horoscopes and is also the least visible constellation. At the same time, it can be one of the most exquisite constellations when learning about what stars and clusters make up

Milky Way was Kepler's Star of 1604 (SN 1604), but remnants of two more recent supernovae have been found retrospectively. Statistical observations of supernovae in other galaxies suggest they should occur on average about three times every century in the Milky Way, and that any galactic supernova would almost certainly be observable in modern astronomical equipment.Supernovas are often seen in other galaxies. A supernova is an Astronomical event that happens when a star explodes. It is

Yang come from Ancient China, the classic symbol was introduced as a shield pattern used by the Ancient Romans, 700 years before its first use in China. A connection between the two is yet to be found. Disregarding who created it, the Yin Yang was a bright idea, but what is the brightest object in the entire universe? To figure this out, we will need to measure in absolute magnitude. Absolute magnitude is when the 2 objects that you are comparing are placed at the same distance away from you (which

How Does The Life Of A Star Work? Matthew. M. Whittemore Stratford. Ontario. Canada Introduction A star has 5 definite stages and 3 stages which can vary between stars. The 5 definite stages are a Nebula, a Star, a Red Giant, a White Dwarf and a Red Dwarf. The stages that can vary are a Supernova, a Neutron Star and a Black hole. As the star goes through each stage, it can change size dramastically. An example of this is a Red Giant, which is 100 time the size of the Sun, compared to

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. Spiral galaxies have the shape of spiral, hit where they get their name from. The arms of the spiral galaxies are made of the stars, gas and dust. Depending

‘There are more stars than all of the grains of sand on earth.’(Star Facts, 2005:1) Looking up at the sky on a vibrant night, the vision is naturally lit one with millions of vivacious, glistening stars. The tenacity of this essay is to explore the lifecycle of a star, thence, signify its manifestation in the universe. A fundamental part of our universe is stars. Hence, these miniature luminous forms are essentially very immense in magnitude and it is merely due to their substantial distance from

Stars come in a variety of sizes, luminosities, surface temperatures and masses. Through these different characteristics, it is found that there is a pattern (with some special cases). This pattern was first recognized by Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung and American astronomer Henry Norris Russel during the first decade of the 20th century. They plotted various stars' luminosities on one axis and spectral types on the other. This showed the pattern. These patterns are shown on graphs and are

used to find the distances of the stars which are near. This method works by measuring the distance of object from two different positions. First you measure the distance of the star from a specific position and then after six months when the earth is on the opposite direction of the sun we measure the distance of the star again. At that position, the star appears to move slightly than last. The parallax angle the star makes can be used to find the distance of the star through the help of trigonometry

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. The Native Americans believed that in the story “Coyote Places The Stars”, a coyote wonders why his wolf brothers look up at the sky every night. Well when the wolves finally tell the coyote that there

Astronomers at Yale and Harvard have measured the “heartbeats” of stars within elliptical galaxy M87 and used that data to determine the galaxy’s age in a new way. M87 is located 53 million light-years from Earth. It is the first time scientists have measured the effect that pulsating, older red stars have on the light of their surrounding galaxy. The findings are published in the November 16 online edition of the journal Nature. In many ways stars are like living beings. They’re born; they live; they die
