It consisted of 13 white stars arranged in a circle in a blue backdrop, with 13 red and white stripes alternating in color. The next flag that became famous was the 15 star and 15-stripe flag. It was made most notable during the bombardment of Fort McHenry, when Francis Scott Key used it as inspiration for the Star Spangled Banner. In 1818, an act was passed by congress, which designated that a star would be added for

Sea stars along much of the North American Pacific coast are dying in great numbers from a mysterious wasting syndrome. Similar die-offs have occurred before in the 1970s, 80s, and the 90s, but never before at this magnitude and over such a wide geographic area. Pisaster ochraceus and many other species of sea stars have been affected by the current sea star wasting syndrome event. The following paper by Hewson et al. “Densovirus associated with sea-star wasting disease and mass mortality” provides

Union, and it was flown for about a year. Instead of stars in the left corner, there was the crosses on the British flag, and it still had the 13 stripes in honor of the colonies. The flag was probably made this way as the design is easy to make, being only stripes and a British flag. It is believed that this flag was flown in 1776 on New Year’s Eve on Prospect Hill in Charlestown by George Washington’s army. The design we are familiar with (Stars and

How the Big Bang Evolved into Life On Earth Should we as humans expect to find intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe? There are many reasons for and against this concept, but first we should trace just how our terrestrial life started. The beginning of time and the universe began with the Big Bang. This was an explosion that started the expansion of the universe. In the most basic sense, the standard model is simply the idea that every bit of the matter and energy in the universe was once

Stars Introduction Those stars in the night sky seem small and tiny, but up close they would be millions of times larger than the Earth. Stars are the most recognized astronomical objects and are the building blocks of the galaxies. These luminous spheres made of plasma are responsible for the creation of heavy elements like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. They were among the first objects in the early universe. Most of the elements found in the human body originated in stars, this means that we

ascension and declination of certain stars and constellations; we used the star chart like a graph with measurements of time and angles. Another part of the lab we used a star and planet locator also known as a planisphere to determine the time and date certain stars and constellations are visible, set, or rise at. Using the planisphere was quite easy to determine stars and how they correlate to time because it 's pleasant to visualize and address smaller stars that are not so apparent in the sky
