What we call photography is limited by the fundamental thing it relies upon, light. What we call light is but one part of a much wider spectrum, electromagnetic radiation. As humans we are only able to see but a part of this spectrum. Some animals can see a wider spectrum of light, ultraviolet and infrared for example. This ability to see what we cannot, can be mimicked in photography through specialist films, such as infra-red and ultraviolet film. By limiting photography to just what we, as humans

Angel Benson Composition Professor Bagot October 13, 2017 Pain You are not the person on the outside that you are on the inside but the pain ties humans together. “Boy 21” a novel by Matthew Quick demonstrates a relationship between two characters who believe they are so different-but pain due to tragedy bring them closer.Quick’s novel addresses the coming-of-age tropes of identity and community, as well as the confusion often evidenced during this adolescent timeframe, a period often infused

blocked from the atmosphere would now be seen by astronomers with the help of the orbiting telescope. When I compared the two telescopes the first differences were that The Hubble Space Telescope was orbiting and space while The ALMA was a ground based telescope. Certainly there were advantages to both telescopes, one being The Hubble Space Telescope makes a complete orbit, 353 miles above the surface, around the Earth in 97 mins (Hubblesite). Meanwhile, The ALMA being ground based collects information

Life’s Meaning is What You Make It Friday, January 27, 2017. This was the night I formulated the answer to the great question that humans have been contemplating since our existence, “Are We Significant in the Universe?” After visiting the planetarium show at the University of Central Arkansas, I felt like I had it all figured out. Seeing the vast universe, or just the small amount that we have actually discovered, puts things into perspective about just how small the Earth is and how far away everything

In 1609 Galileo modified a three-powered spy glass; although Galileo did not invent the first telescope, his high quality modifications were well known and very popular. His alterations helped clarify the idea that the earth and planets revolve around the sun as opposed to the other way around. This powerful telescope, for its time, also helped astronomers see that there was a vast universe with a myriad of stars just waiting to be discovered (“The First Telescopes”). Just as Columbus’s discoveries

Quasars Since their discovery, the nature of quasars has been one of the most intriguing and baffling problems as evidenced by the following quotations: " the problem of understanding quasi-stellar objects… is one of the most important and fascinating tasks in all physics" - G.Burbidge and Hoyle. "The quasar continues to rank both as one of the most baffling objects in the universe and one most capable of inspiring heated argument" - Morrison. "The redshift problem is one of the

The museum that I decided to visit was the California African American museum, located in the Exposition park by the Coliseum and USC school. I knew that by visiting this museum, I would learn more about African American culture and lifestyle, which I thought it would be interesting to learn about another culture. What, I expected to see there was African American’s art creation, music, maybe see a few things about their old lifestyle, and the difficulty they once had to face. To be honest, I don't

Space Infrared Telescope Facility but later the named was changed in the honor of Lyman Spitzer Jr., who was a renowned astrophysicist, who also was the first person who propose the idea of having a large telescope in space and helped develop the Hubble Space Telescope. August 25, 2003, at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Pad, NASA launched the Spitzer space telescope into space for the mission Orbiter. Although this telescope was launched at NASA it was not launched by a Space Shuttle

telescope. Ground based telescopes are good for many reasons people can’t tamper with it, easier for maintenance, and they cost less than a space telescope. There are many other telescopes in space and on land like the Hubble Space Telescope and the Square Kilometer Array. The Hubble telescope is in orbiting around space so that it can observe more, and be closer to what it is observing.Hubble Space Telescope provides us with pictures that helped us with the age of the universe and told us about

the origins of our Universe and the formation of galaxies from around a billion years after the creation of the Universe, where the galaxies appear to be very shapeless and small, to today where they are larger and formed into spirals or discs. The Hubble Space Telescope has helped pinpoint the age of the Universe to 13.7 billion years22 by studying 31 Cepheid variable stars22, whose fluctuating brightness can be used to calculate their distance thus the expansion and therefore age of the Universe
