Bright star

There are two different life cycles for stars but they both start out as a 'Stellar Nebula'. It then splits off in to separate stars the Low Mass and The High Mass stars.. The Start: Stars are born in a Nebulae which a clouds of dust and gas (mostly hydrogen). In the stellar nurseries the dense parts undergo gravitational collapse and compress into a rotating gas globule. The globule is cooled by emitting radio waves and infrared radiation. It is compressed by gravitational forces and also by shock

spherical bubble seen projected onto the sky — that's why it appears bright along its outer edge. Observations suggest the star ejected its mass in a series of pulses at 1,500-year intervals. These convulsions created dust shells, each of which contain as much mass as all of the planets in our solar system combined (still only one percent of the Sun's mass). These concentric shells make a layered, onion-skin structure around the dying star. The view from Hubble is

Science of Stars Paper Diana L. Mieltowski SCI/151 September 27, 2010 Robert Austin Science of Stars Paper In this paper I will explain how astronomers determine the composition, temperature, speed, and rotation rate of distant objects using various methods. I will explain the properties of stars. I will also summarize the complete lifecycle of the Sun and determine where the Sun is currently in its lifecycle. Measurement of Distant Objects Light is a type of energy. Light behaves like

The last time I remember something changing the night sky in my life time was the comet Hale-bopp back in 1997. I used to sit on the porch on my townhouse and start at it with my Dad. I was only 12 then so I didn't really have the most in-depth knowledge on what a comet was, but it blew my mind into read as much as I could about space. Speaking of the nighttime sky, astronomers are predicting the sky could look a little different in 2022. Calvin College professor Larry Molnar and his students along

If you’ve ever wondered what a dying star looks like right when it’s about to bite the dust, wonder no more: NASA has just released an image taken by its Hubble Space Telescope which reveals the bright star known as Herschel 36 in its final death throes, a process that the agency says generally takes tens of thousands of years. What Does a Dying Star Look Like? The picture posted by NASA shows Herschel 36 surrounded by a gas cloud that left its core exposed for the photograph. Emanating from the

general are basically billions of large independent groups of stars that exist in the universe. What sets a starburst galaxy apart from a regular galaxy is the fact that starburst galaxies have an exceptionally high rate of star formation inside of it. Some of these galaxies are so active that they are forming thousands of new stars every year, compared to the Milky Way producing about one star per year. This furious formation of stars typically happens when galaxies are in the process of or have

It was 1834, and I woke up on the on the old tattered mat I usually sleep on. I sit up yawn and stretch. I slowly and unwillingly get up, brushing off the dirt from my torn tee-shirt. I wobble over to my little sister and brother. Then I go and plop into one of the rickety wooden chairs at our little round wood table. You can tell it was a old table because the paint was almost all chipped off. I always pick at the little paint particles that are still barely hanging onto the table. “Sarah, where

by a piece of string. In Greek Mythology, it is supposed to be the fish Aphrodite and her son Eros transformed into in the Euphrates while escaping from the the monster Typhon. The constellation Pisces has an area of 889 square degrees and has five stars with known planets. It can be seen at latitudes +90 and -65 and is best visible at 9pm during the month of November. In sidereal astrology, the sun moves through Pisces from March 15 to April 14. In tropical astrology, it is said to be in the sign

future of stars. In addition, Astronomers use the Hertzsprung Russell Diagram (H - R Diagram) to find how the temperature and absolute brightness of stars are related. The diagram can help label stars and know how they evolved. The pattern used by Russell and Hertzsprung we still use today. Most have not heard of the Hertzsprung Russell Diagram even though it is commonly used by astronomers today. The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram is a graph to show how the temperature and brightness of stars are related

when I was a kid. Orion is easiest to see from November through to February, to the south-west if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, or the north-west if you are in the southern one. It's most marking feature is the belt, three bright stars in a short line. Most of the stars that make up the constellation or blue giants or supergiants. The myth for this constellation is Greek. In it, Orion claims to be the best hunter in the world, which doesn't sit well with Hera, Zeus' wife. She sets a scorpion
