People saw Luke Skywalker first in “Star Wars: A New Hope” as a complaining, adolescent farmboy. In the first movie, fans found him irritating to be heard. Stuart Carapola, writer and owner of www.StarWarsWavelength.com, says in his discussion blog reply, “Yes, when we first met Luke, he was an immature, impulsive, and headstrong child who thought he knew everything and nearly got himself killed because he blew off Yoda and Obi-Wan’s warning and went looking for Vader.” As he would complain about
This is one of the many reasons I am interested in propulsion, because to build the spacecraft for galactic exploration, one would have to reduce the cost of an earth to orbit flight so that it would be affordable in the public's eye. A recent development in the aerospace field, or rather a development that has occurred in the past 15 years, has made me
Swiss astronomer, was the first to suspect the existence of dark matter in 1933. He was trying to measure the mass of a galactic cluster (a group of several galaxies) using two different methods. He tried to infer this mass from the speed of the galaxies. Just like kids on a merry-go-round have to hold on to avoid being ejected, galaxies are held together in a spinning galactic cluster by the gravitational force provided by the matter it contains. If there were not enough matter to create this force
Upon securing victory in Japan, whatever relief the American people felt from winning WWII was tempered by the realization that science had just created a weapon that could wipe nations off the face of the earth. The atomic bomb, if other countries obtained the technology, could bring about a nuclear holocaust. This fear of technology could have stymied scientific progress post WWII. However, going into the Cold War, people once again put their hope in science and looked at scientific progress as
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our solar system. Its name “ Milky” was derived from its appearance as a dim glowing band arching across the night sky whose individual stars cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, which means it spiral out from the middle. The first and most obvious thing to talk about is how it was formed. It began as an oversized mass left behind after the big bang. The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened
These are used by the Imperial Fleet during the Galactic Civil War. There are 2 vertical stabilizers on both the bottom and top of the rear part of it. It’s also armed with 6 steeple weapons that can destroy the enemy simpler. 2 of the weapons can fire forward, while the others are able to shoot 180 degree
is a spy for the galactic federation. What makes this part interesting is that Rick’s ponders with the normality of it all becoming a, caring, loving, person but is undercut by Tammy and her actions, not his own skepticism; an inclination to believe that people are motivated purely by self-interest, vanishes. This idea is explored more tend the end of the season premiere, after the family is guided through the actions at the wedding into hiding after the shoot out with the galactic government, Rick
We deal with conflict everyday. Whether it is a kid at school that you just can't stand, or a family member. Heck, it may even be a random stranger at the store and he took the last LEGO set that you wanted. Whoever it is with it is still conflict. And when you get conflicted, you don't handle it too well (don't lie to yourself, everybody does it). When people are angry at one another, they want to show that they’re mad. This doesn't just happen in real life though. Conflict and reactions
they made smaller and weaker clans kneel before them. The names of these clans are Galactic Patriots and Supernova Spacehawks. Of course they were enemies and their true goals were to annihilate one another before the gained too much power, that day will come but for now I will tell you the story of what seemed like a victory and only lead to failure. The rivalries have been long lived not just between the Galactic Patriots and the Supernova Spacehawks but with the other clans as well. Every year
sun, a mere 8 light MINUTES away! Quasars are in the centres of galaxies. Such galactic centres are called active galactic nuclei. The bolt of their energy, spewing forth in the form of a powerful radiation jet, the length of which, puts even our entire solar system to shame! Specifically, if a large portion of this ejected energy heads towards earth, it is known as a quasar. But if earth is in the active galactic nucleus’ sight, it has an even more spine-chilling name, a blazar. And its blazar
