Shooting Stars

I chose this one because as I stated, it is very famous, and because it is one of those constellations that I have seen many times. Orion is a hunter, so the constellation shows a man holding a club and shield. It is easily recognized by the three stars in a line that form the hunter's belt. The myth of Orion is an interesting one. Orion was known as a hunter in Greek mythology, and he boasted that he could defeat and kill any animal on Earth. This greatly angered Gaea, the earth goddess, so she

Constellations are pictures or shapes that ancient people discovered in the night sky. Some of the most popular constellations are the twelve Zodiac signs. Another famous constellation is Orion, or ‘The Hunter’. I chose to write about Orion because personally I love the story of how his constellation came to be. He is one of the main constellations I always notice in the night sky. The story of Orion is that he was a talented hunter. He was determined to rid the Earth of all wild animals. However

I choose the constellation Phoenix, I've chosen this constellation because I find the shape intreging. Phoenix constellation lies in the southern sky. It was originally introduced by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius from the observations of the Dutch navigators Frederick Houtman and Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser in the late 16th century.Phoenix is a relatively small consolation, but it is the largest among the 12 constellations created and named by Plancius. It was first depicted on his globe in 1598

he is handsome) but everybody just drawn with his charm,the way he talk,the way he stare. Some people willing to do anything to have him,Merope is one of that people. I think i have to introduce merope first, merope is not what you call a brightest star, actually she is pretty dim, i am not saying that nobody want her,plenty of man would want her and i say good,respected man. But that man is not orion,and she know it,just like the rest of world know it. Except her father probably.. One day, Orion

Astronomy Blog Entry 3 http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/SolarMax/ During this unit in my astronomy class, one thing that I found fascinating was sunspots. A sunspot is basically a patch that occasionally occurs on the surface of the sun, and appears darker by contrasting with it’s surroundings. Human’s have known about sunspots for a quite a while now, even all the way back to the fifth century B.C., when the Chinese were able to observe dark areas on the sun. However, it wasn’t until

The Andromeda Galaxy was named after a mythological Princess named Andromeda. And it contains approximately one trillion stars and twice more of the Milky Way’s. And is estimated by about 200-400 billion stars. Also this subject is interesting to me because it shows all the different stars that are connected to each other and I think that it cool how the color are mix together. And the Andromeda galaxy, is spanning approximately about 220,000 light years and it is the largest galaxy that is

light seen in the night. From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis and an observation by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies

Udesh Ramadhar Mr. Leed 11/29-16 The Ultimate Transcendent Illumination Remember the phrase “We are all star stuff”, we’ll it’s true. The matter and elements our bodies contain were made from a detonating star, which has additionally given us distinctive numbers planets and different stars. The blast of a star is known as a supernova (supernovae for plural employments). Supernovas are extremely intriguing, brilliant, and vital, for a hefty portion of reasons, however to start with, you'll need

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

We know of many stars that exist, but the main stars are White dwarfs, Pulsars, Neutron stars, Magnetars, Brown dwarfs, Black Holes, Cepheid Variable stars, Supergiants, Red Giants, Novas, and Quasars. Starting with White Dwarf, this star is usually the size of a planet and is last stage of a stars life, when it loses all its layers from the planetary nebula. This star is very dense and especially hot after it disables its nuclear fuel. It starts to cool done over the next billions of years. Pulsars
