Sombrero Galaxy

large telescope to see far away stars and galaxies. He knew that the elements in the stars reflected back specific colors, and you could tell what a star was made of by its color ?DNA?. Hubble noticed that this pattern had been slightly shifted to the red side of the spectrum, otherwise called a red shift. He knew, based on the Doppler effect, that a red shift was caused by the stretched wavelengths of an object moving away from a point. If the galaxies he had observed had shifted to the red side

galactic neighbors puts me in complete awe. It’s just exciting to me and its impressive how vast and unexplored the universe is. Astrophysics Is a branch of astronomy that is about the physics of everything of the universe, and heavenly bodies like galaxies, star clusters, etc. The job of the Astrophysics is to understand the universe. This occupation is constantly developing because every day we learn more and more about how the universe functions. Another objective of this job or occupation is to

universe that affects the gravitation and mass of varying objects, such as stars and galaxies. Dark matter is hard to see and find because unlike matter, it does not reflect or emit light. It also does not affect the electromagnetic fields in the universe (CERN 1). Dark matter can either be “hot” or “cold.” “Cold” dark matter means when the big bang occurred it was not moving fast enough to affect the formation of galaxies. Dark matter can also be “hot,” meaning it was moving fast enough to affect a galaxy’s

The visible universe- including Earth, the sun, other stars, and galaxies is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons bundled together into atoms (National Geographic, 2012). Astronomers use the term ‘baryonic’ to refer to all objects made of normal atomic matter, essentially ignoring the presence of electrons (Swinburne University, 2015). Baryons interact with each other through gravity, nuclear forces and the electrostatic force. These interactions are what allow baryonic matter (such as stars)

This difference can be explained due to the fact that some of the Data collected for the graph

the change is not measurable on smaller objects such as humans, for any substantial bend to occur it would take a huge mass and a light ray to travel extremely close to the matter. When the light bends it can alters the shape of the image, with a galaxy for example it can bend or warp the shape which is normally elliptical or spiral looking. (Grocutt, 2015) An accretion disk is formed when rocks, gasses and other satellites travel close to a black hole; they are sucked into the gravitational field

This is because of the fact that it is very hard to detect and almost impossible to see. Although it is impossible to see, we can see the effects of them both in our galaxy. One way that we can “see” the dark matter is the movement of the Milky Way Galaxy. While studying the Milky Way, scientists noticed that the outer rings of the galaxy were moving at the same speed as the inner rings (“Dark Energy, Dark Matter”, n.d.) . This may seem normal, but, due to the law of gravity, the outer

have much more to discover! There is a big possibility that in one of those planets life could exist. Another big clue that scientist have discovered is that there are many galaxies in space and we live in one. The galaxy that Earth is located at is called the Milky Way Galaxy. A galaxy can contain many planets just like our galaxy can contains over billions of planets. Furthermore, scientists have this big prediction in which they think that in about ten years they will prove themselves

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." -Carl Sagan- All around you, something magical is happening. It doesn 't come in the form of wizards or dragons. It comes from particles, atoms, black holes, and on a particular planet orbiting around a particular sun. Science is real magic. When I was a little girl, I would sneak out in the middle of the night to climb up onto my rooftop. I would stare at thousands of stars and planets suspended in the night sky as if it were magic. Each

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
