proximity to their host stars. Introduction We are often presented with useful information in the search for new information, and here it comes in the form of two research papers. They are: ‘HD 219134b: A transiting rocky planet in a multi-planet system at 6.5 pc from the Sun’ by F. Motalebi et al. and ‘An Earth-size planet with an Earth-like density’ by F. Pepe et al. Both papers provide research findings on two close-proximity exoplanets around their respective host stars, with the main focus of

Orion constellation, or the hunter constellation as some call it. I chose this constellation because it is a beautiful constellation. Orion is the brightest and most beautiful of the winter constellations. Some of its stars, including Betelgeuse and Rigel, are among the brightest stars. While it was named after the hunter in Greek mythology it is definitely not stealthy. Orion is one of the most prominent and recognizable constellations in the sky and can be seen throughout the world. It is located

There are millions upon millions of stars that light up the night sky. Some of these stars are grouped together in a way that creates a shape or figure; these shapes have been studied for thousands of years by people all around the world. Some civilizations have even dedicated stories to these figures in the sky; most of these shapes or constellations have their origins in Greek and Roman mythology. The constellation I chose as my favorite is Taurus, the bull. While Taurus is one of the constellations

I chose this one because as I stated, it is very famous, and because it is one of those constellations that I have seen many times. Orion is a hunter, so the constellation shows a man holding a club and shield. It is easily recognized by the three stars in a line that form the hunter's belt. The myth of Orion is an interesting one. Orion was known as a hunter in Greek mythology, and he boasted that he could defeat and kill any animal on Earth. This greatly angered Gaea, the earth goddess, so she

Constellations are pictures or shapes that ancient people discovered in the night sky. Some of the most popular constellations are the twelve Zodiac signs. Another famous constellation is Orion, or ‘The Hunter’. I chose to write about Orion because personally I love the story of how his constellation came to be. He is one of the main constellations I always notice in the night sky. The story of Orion is that he was a talented hunter. He was determined to rid the Earth of all wild animals. However

I choose the constellation Phoenix, I've chosen this constellation because I find the shape intreging. Phoenix constellation lies in the southern sky. It was originally introduced by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius from the observations of the Dutch navigators Frederick Houtman and Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser in the late 16th century.Phoenix is a relatively small consolation, but it is the largest among the 12 constellations created and named by Plancius. It was first depicted on his globe in 1598

he is handsome) but everybody just drawn with his charm,the way he talk,the way he stare. Some people willing to do anything to have him,Merope is one of that people. I think i have to introduce merope first, merope is not what you call a brightest star, actually she is pretty dim, i am not saying that nobody want her,plenty of man would want her and i say good,respected man. But that man is not orion,and she know it,just like the rest of world know it. Except her father probably.. One day, Orion

Astronomy Blog Entry 3 http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/SolarMax/ During this unit in my astronomy class, one thing that I found fascinating was sunspots. A sunspot is basically a patch that occasionally occurs on the surface of the sun, and appears darker by contrasting with it’s surroundings. Human’s have known about sunspots for a quite a while now, even all the way back to the fifth century B.C., when the Chinese were able to observe dark areas on the sun. However, it wasn’t until

The Andromeda Galaxy was named after a mythological Princess named Andromeda. And it contains approximately one trillion stars and twice more of the Milky Way’s. And is estimated by about 200-400 billion stars. Also this subject is interesting to me because it shows all the different stars that are connected to each other and I think that it cool how the color are mix together. And the Andromeda galaxy, is spanning approximately about 220,000 light years and it is the largest galaxy that is

light seen in the night. From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis and an observation by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies
