Shooting Stars

*Think about it. Frisk. See those stars. Those are the dead that has yet to be named. They listen to our pleads and thoughts. *Does that mean people I know who aren’t with us are up there. *Yes, they are yet to be burned up there though. *Stars. I thought they would last forever. *Not at least forever. They would shine as brightly as ever, showing off to others. Others would be jealous and knock them out of the sky as it becomes a shooting star. *I don’t get it. *Of course you won’t now. Maybe when

They are nature's very own Death Star beams -- ultra-powerful jets of energy that shoot out from the vicinity of black holes like deadly rays from the Star Wars super-weapon. Now a team of scientists led by the University of Southampton has moved a step closer to understanding these mysterious cosmic phenomena -- known as relativistic jets -- by measuring how quickly they 'switch on' and start shining brightly once they are launched. How these jets form is still a puzzle. One theory suggests that

Despite this we are constrained to how far we can travel in theory, no longer can we travel unending distances. We are constrained to a cluster of 54 Galaxies that are drifting away from other clusters. The nearest candidate to be a life hosting star is orbiting Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 Light Years from our solar system and our

object is a type of active galaxy with an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and is named after its prototype, BL Lacertae. In 1926 BL Lac was discovered to be variable by Cuno Hoffmeister at Sonneberg. Astronomers origionally thought it was all just one star but realized it was a whole galaxy. The astronomers studied a galaxy called BL Lacertae (BL Lac), located about 950 million light-years from Earth. BL Lac is a blazar, the most energetic type of black-hole-powered galactic core. A black hole is a concentration

How Stars Form and what do different stars do Why are stars so important even though they are just a little spheres levitating in the sky, that's because stars are the building blocks of life and everything in our galaxy. Most people believe that here is only one type of star because they all look the same. But the goal of this research is to cover up neutron stars, white dwarfs, and brown dwarfs. The neutron star is a star that is created only by other stars. The neutron star is a only 2 kilometers

Timeline of The Big Bang The broadly accepted theory for the origin and evolution of our universe is the Big Bang model, which states that the universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point roughly 13.7 billion years ago before expanding into a large, unexplored cosmos; home to an unknown amount of planets and systems. The universe begins with a cataclysm that generates space and time, as well as all the matter and energy the universe will ever hold. For an incomprehensibly small fraction of a

Leonard Fuentes Period 2A Shooting an Elephant: The Literary Analysis George Orwell used to be indecisive. Now he is not sure. George Orwell helps us to see what was happening in the Far East -Moulmein- in his essay “Shooting an Elephant,” through examples of conflict of his personal experience. The three main conflicts in “Shooting an Elephant” also give insight on what many British soldiers faced in Moulmein. The audience is given an inside view of imperialism and the evils that came with it

“No witchcraft for sale” An analysis of three messages used in the novel “No Witchcraft for Sale” Doris Lessing wrote the novel “No witchcraft for Sale” and its highly reminiscent of George Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant” in that it can almost be seen as a critique of Imperialism. Unlike “Shooting”, “Sale” has what can be seen as an almost happy ending or rather, nothing terrible happens. Doris Lessing uses three messages in her novel “No Witchcraft for Sale” that really made me think about the
