NASA's Hubble Telescope has seemingly maxed out. Recently, an international group of astronomers have measured the distance to the most remote galaxy ever observed. It what is known as GN-Z11, this galaxy is one of the first galaxies to form. Its existence can be traced as early as 400 million years after the Big Bang. Knowing this brings astronomers one step closer to finding out how to the universe was created. In other words, they may have just found God. HOW NASA DISCOVERED THE GOD UNIVERSE

help you figure out this question. Let's start with some history. In 5th century, BC, someone named Democritus had the idea that the bright band in the sky(known as the Milky Way) may be composed of stars. In 4th century BC, Aristotle had the similar idea: "the ignition of the fiery exhalation of some stars which were large, numerous and close together" is something he recorded, along that, "ignition takes place in the upper part of the atmosphere, in the region of the world which is continuous with

they use a strong gravitational pull, but where does the matter go? How are they formed? How do we know they even exist? Black holes are formed by an interesting phenomenon. When stars collapse on themselves, they create what we know as black holes. This collapse can cause a giant supernova, which can blast a part of the star into space. This largest black holes astronomers believe, were created when the “Big Bang” happened. This means black holes grow over time. There are three main types of black

Dad, I know you have been interested in how astronomers are able to detect planets that orbit stars other than the Sun (called exoplanets), since recently astronomers detected seven earth-sized planets orbiting a star that is 40 light years away. In my astronomy class, we learned the three techniques astronomers use to detect exoplanets. The first two techniques are an indirect method and the third one is a direct method. The direct method is by taking a picture of the exoplanet. The direct detection

a small cluster of seven stars. The home of the Pleiades is located in the tail end of the constellation of Taurus the Bull. It is 400 light years from Earth. November is often called the month of the Pleiades because it is when this star cluster – called the seven sisters shines from dusk until dawn. It is visible from every place on earth and can be seen from as far north as the North Pole and as far south to the tip of South America. The names of the seven stars are: 1. Taygeta 2. Maya

As the student assistant to Dr. Steven Lucas, we have studied many different factors of the two stars known as Rodia and Alderaan. Since Dr. Lucas is interested in finding more life within the universe, and finding more Earth-like planets; we have come to the conclusion that Rodia should be studied more carefully and be highly observed. First let’s start with the data we have Rodia has a surface temperature of 5894 K while Alderaan has one at 20,000. Rodia is a G 1 or 2 spectral type while Alderaan

About 90 percent of the stars in the universe, are main sequence stars. Stars start their lives off as big clouds of dust and gravity draws the clouds and forms them into one. Mark Morris, made a statement and said “Nature doesn’t form stars in isolation.” “ It forms them in clusters, out of natal clouds that collapse under their own gravity.” If a star's body has less than 0.08 of the sun's mass, they can not reach the stage of nuclear fusion at their core. They would become brown dwarfs, they

Our Diverse Stars When we think of stars, we often think that they are all the same. We often think that they are all just big balls of gas burning up to billions of light years away. However, that isn't exactly true. The truth is that stars are very diverse. Just like anything else in our Universe, stars fall into many different classifications based on its defining characteristics. In this essay I will discuss several different types of stars. First, I will discuss protostars.

energetic particles, all driven by the solar magnetic field (Solar). Solar flares produce X-Rays for a few minutes or hours and produce more radiation that the total amount of light in infrared or visible light. Not likely for planets near flare stars to have life (102 book). Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation coming from the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots. They release photons at almost every wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum (Solar). The Earth is only affected

The information about stars that Hertzsprung-Russell diagram provides is an important relationship in the understanding study of the stars. It plots the measure of the stars’ intrinsic brightness verves the temperature of stars against their luminosity, or the color of stars against their absolute magnitude. While depending on the main sequence and initial mass, every star goes through specific evolutionary stage and is spoke by its internal structure and how it produces energy. The role the sun
