    Like the bench I also redid, I wanted to pick a smaller item that would be better to start with rather than something large. To begin this project I gathered my needed supplies including wood stripper, Early American wood stain, steel wool, varnish, sandpaper and thick gloves. I then placed my headboard on a board balanced on two sawhorses. To continue, I put on my gloves and put large amounts of stripper on small sections of the wood and let them set before scrubbing. I found that this was harder

    The topic I’ve chosen is an investigation having to do with ultraviolet light and the formation of new stars. The scientific context of this paper relates to the topic of astrophysics through the fact that it involves stars and the light spectrum. This topic is worthy of investigation because it is important to know how old certain stars are in order to understand the universe. The formation of new stars can be studied by using ultraviolet light because of the large amounts of energy that new stars

They argue that it may take a spacecraft too much time to accelerate to a speed close to the speed of light. Some people think other stars are too far, and it may take hundreds or thousands of years to reach them. However, as we will show, these arguments don’t rule out the possibility of interstellar travel. In contrast, there are possible method to travel to very far object in

    The panoply of Saturn’s colorful rings greeted Surina the next morning. In fact, many dazzled passengers packed the observation deck to admire the fresco of shimmering pastel pinks, grays, yellows, and browns painted by the most prolific artist of all, the creator of the universe. Orbiting in the magical ringlets of Saturn were the icy rocks from the blown up remnants of the ancient moons that reflected the sunlight to produce the glittering pastel colors. Similar to Jupiter, Saturn was a gas

    only see what science provides us with. From this, we know that we are nothing but a tiny planet located in a solar system of millions in a galaxy of many more in the universe. A galaxy, also called a nebula, consists of billions of stars, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter which are all bound to form a massive cloud in which we live in. Although it cannot be very well explained, dark matter makes up at least 90% of a galaxy’s mass.

    contain only a small portion of the number of stars than the average giant elliptical galaxy, and because you can see straight through these dwarf galaxies, ones that are far away are difficult to detect. Compared to the long and majestic arms and interstellar dust and gas that other galaxies contain, elliptical galaxies tend to be less impressive. All the same, these galaxies are unique and some also contain large numbers of remnant neutron stars and black holes. The third and final type of galaxy

    Pulsars are highly magnetised, rapidly spinning (the spin period ranging from a few milliseconds to a few seconds) neutron stars, which are the end products of the evolutionary stages of massive stars after supernova explosions. As the star collapses, the density becomes large, giving rise to a star consisting mainly of neutrons, with $\sim$ 1.4 {\Msun} and a radius of $\sim$ 10 km \citep{Lattimer13}. They have inferred surface magnetic fields of the order of 10$^{11}$ - $10^{13}$ G \citep{Beskin}
