Brittle star

Named for the Roman goddess of dawn, the aurora is a mysterious and unpredictable display of light in the night sky. The aurora borealis and aurora australis – often called the northern lights and southern lights – are common occurrences at high northern and southern latitudes, less frequent at mid-latitudes, and seldom seen near the equator. While usually a milky greenish color, auroras can also show red, blue, violet, pink, and white. These colors appear in a variety of continuously changing shapes

plant that has this star that’s so hot that they disbelieve there could be any molecules living on this planet named “Kelt-9b”. The founders go to the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio the team tells us how this planet is three times bigger than Jupiter, and the star that lives as its next door neighbor is nearly twice as hot as our own sun. The planet moves around the sun like star every one and a half earth days one side of the planet is locked into a face to face with the star which makes the

How would you feel if you found out that Jupiter is more than just a planet for Earth? Jupiter is Earth’s gas protector. It protects Earth from incoming comets by breaking them apart with its enormous gravity. Jupiter’s gravity is 2.4 times stronger than Earth’s gravity. (The world book encyclopedia of science). In the past, Jupiter has torn apart comets and sucked them into its atmosphere. Comet SHOEMAKER-LEVY in 1994 was coming straight for Earth until Jupiter intercepted its path and with its

Our wind has died down, but yes indeed, is it cold! Our landscapers just pulled up to take care of leaves and shrubs. They are all bundled up! Oh, our leaves did finally fall with a little help from that dang wind, but the grass, she's still green! I can imagine they have more than enough snow in MN for Miss Cora's first snowman! Not ready for that here...well, I never am! You are cold at 66? Hmmm...would love some of that about now. I will admit though, that 53 is cold for you. BBB is always

our galaxies, with many different characteristics and attributes, there is just one that stands out in the midst of all the others, Corot-7B. This planet is the smallest exoplanet that has been found outside of our solar system that orbits another star. This fascinating planet has a bright yellow color and is about twice the size of Earth and practically flows lava and rocks. This planet has temperatures ranging from 3,300 to 4,700 degrees Fahrenheit, literally making it anyone’s worst nightmare

Solar flares release 10 million times more energy than a volcano and during times, there are over 20 solar flares a day. They are about as hot as the Sun’s core. A Solar flare/Solar storm is a brief outburst of intense high-energy radiation from the sun’s surface associated with sunspots and causing electromagnetic disturbances on the Earth, as with radio frequency communications and power line transmissions. Solar flares are caused by the sudden release of magnetic energy. The largest ones can

larger than life Mr. Jacks, speaking to a reporter in a live interview. Located in the background, she picked out many other recognizable faces from the hanger. Looking up, through the open roof of the observatory she really could thank her lucky stars, and for Kate the first part of her dream had just come

The first stage in the life cycle of a star is the Nebula. A Nebula is a swirling sea of dust and gas but, it is not a star yet. Over time, the dust and gas will collect into a ball that sweeps through the Nebula. The ball of gas and dust then begins to grow. The Nebula becomes a Protostar, the second stage of a star’s life cycle, once the ball of gas and dust starts to shrink because of it’s own mass and gravity. The Protostar is still not a star yet. At this stage it can be up to 100x larger than

The atmospheric make-up of the four Jovian planets such as Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn differ in that the atmospheres are generally storm filled and colder with the longer distance from the Sun. Where as the Terrestrial planets of Earth, Mars, Venus, & Mercury closeness to the sun allow for a more thin warm, hot to Frozen surface atmospheres. Clouds of the Jovian planets always occur at about the same temperatures. Like the ammonia clouds that are found, both Jupiter and Saturn form at 150

mad you need to understand how stars work. stars are massive collections of mainly hydrogen atoms, within a stars core, nuclear fusion causes hydrogen atoms get crushed into helium atoms which releases a ton of energy, this energy comes in the form of radiation, this radiation pushes against gravity which makes a nice balance between the two. Balance is key For the star to maintain this balance it must maintain fusion within the core, however with much larger stars, the
