discussed is why stars twinkle at night, and how technology has been enhanced to produce clear images of the stars. The stars twinkling was fist investigated in 1956 by the US air force Dr. William Protheroe and Dr. William Blitzstein are conducting the inquiry from the University of Pennsylvania observatory in Philadelphia. Stars twinkle because their light must pass through pockets of Earth's atmosphere that vary in temperature and density, and it's all very turbulent. On rough nights, a star appears to

question “What is the chemical difference between a star and a planet?” A big difference between stars and planets is mass and size. Stars are massive balls of gas with pressure inside them that causes a nuclear reaction, which makes them bright and hot. A object would have to have 80 times the mass of Jupiter to have the nuclear reaction in its core. Making planet's not big enough to be a star. Although there is a huge difference in size and mass, many stars and planets are similar. Many planets are rocky

Stars are born of gas and dust and have a life cycle based on their original mass. Stars are not alive, but they go through stages. There are many sources that prove that this fact is true! These sources include the life cycle of stars, star classification, and types of galaxies. These different life cycles are for the high-mass stars and the low-mass stars. There are 3 types of galaxies. These galaxies are Irregular, Spiral, and Elliptical. Irregular galaxies have no defined shape and have mostly

Solar flares, Sunspots, and Radiation Solar flares, Sun spots, and Radiation are all vital parts of the sun cycle. Sunspots create solar flare which gives off radiation, without one another the sun could explode because of energy build up. Solar flares are defined as brief eruptions of highly energized radiation from the sun, but why does this happen? Solar flares occur when magnetic energy is built up, then rapidly released at once, during, the sun gives off generous amounts of X and gamma

Techniques Employed in Half of a Yellow Sun Literary Technique and Associated Theme | Explanation | Example | Abrogation-Marginalization-Alien’s Perspective | The author uses a character to explore a cultural background to gain credibility to belittling that very same culture. In HOYS, Adichie uses Ugwu to undertake an exploration in to the British rule to be able to point out the flaws in their imperialistic influence on Nigeria. | * Pg. 11 – There are two answers to the things they will

will take two total solar eclipses and use the distance from where the star is and where it appears to be. I will look at two stars and find the difference of where they are observed and where they are located. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that when I compare the distance of where the star appears to be and where it really is, it will show that the sun’s gravity does indeed bend light. Research In space, objects (plants, stars, etc.) sit in something called space-time. The bigger the mass of an object

The study of our stars is very important, astronomers study them to predict what will happen to our sun, which directly affects us. The first objects I observed were Albireo, two binary stars. They are about three hundredths to four hundredths and ten light years away. According to Stauffer Mark T from the American Psychological Association, “Albireo’s stunning colors provide a vivid contrast that has earned this double recognition as the most beautiful in the sky. Albireo is easily split using

Dark matter, the unsolved mystery has become a focal point in current research. Scientists have inferred that 5 percent of the universe is made of ordinary atomic matter (stars and galaxies), 72 percent is made of dark energy and 23 percent is made of dark matter [1]. Ordinary matter is easily detected as it emits or reflects light but dark matter is an invisible entity so how do we know it even exists? Fritz Zwicky was one of the first astronomers to suspect the existence of dark matter through

Throughout the course of our existence, humans have looked to the skies for a multitude of reasons. A couple of them would be something along the lines of religious beliefs or the physical use of the stars as a guide or a compass to bring families home or help discover new territories. The use of constellations have been recorded in Mesopotamian culture that has been dated back to around 4000 B.C. According to a “Constellation History” article by Jim Fuchs “In the 8th century B.C. (800-701). Homer

sky. Much unlike the mythology behind it, Draco’s position in the northern sky is very constant. Draco is located just above the Northern horizon and is a circumpolar constellation. It never sets and it rotates in tight proximity to the Northern Star. To be more exact, it spans about 20 degrees and wraps around the north celestial pole. The galactic plane also runs just east, through a neighboring constellation, Cygnus. Aside from its notable location, Draco also contains some deep sky objects
