Sombrero Galaxy

Specific Purpose Statement: To inform my audience what dark matter and dark matter is by explaining what they are and do. Thesis: Dark Energy and Dark Matter have been puzzling phenomena in astronomy ever since their discovery in the 1900s. To better understand dark matter/energy, I will give information about when and who discovered them, what we learned from them since their discovery and what scientists are doing to further study them. Organizational Pattern: Chronological Pattern Introduction

Kepler-438b is an exoplanet discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope in January 2015, through the transit method (when a planet passes in front of its parent star, resulting in very slight dimming in the star’s brightness, this change in brightness is measured). It was one of 8 new exoplanet discoveries made by the Kepler mission that NASA announced in January 2015, all of which were believed to be potentially habitable. Of these exoplanets, two took the place of being the most Earth-like exoplanets

black holes are said to be formed right after the big bang. Stellar black holes form when a very massive star collapses on itself. These are also called exploding stars or a supernova. Supermassive black holes are formed at the same time in the same galaxy . With all these facts about black holes I can determine the difference between what NASA thinks they are and what the movie thinks they are. How the Video Accurately Showed Black Holes In the movie Interstellar there’s a movie scene where the main

question that Ghez, Genzel, and others hoped to answer was whether a supermassive black hole inhabits the center of the Milky Way. As early as 1980, radio observations revealed that gas was swirling around a dark, massive object at the center of the galaxy. That object, which glowed steadily at radio

Science and Worldview Science is a tool used to describe the natural world and what inhabits it. This tool is universal in a sense that it can be used to test almost everything from how old the earth is to predictions on the future. By observing, questioning, and testing mankind has grown mentally and scientifically over the decades but there is still one question that has yet to be fully answered or discussed; can science and religion be used to explain our existence? A comprehensive worldview

Space the final frontier. There is an enticing about space- a gravitational pull toward its airless environment. Telescopes, the one that changed how we view our place in the galaxy. The thing that changed the science of astronomy. They allowed us to view things that were previously invisible to the human eye. With telescopes, scientists could look beyond from our little green and blue planet. From the earliest telescopes, such as Galileo’s age to the Hubble telescope used today, they have allowed

Kepler-62f is a Super-Earth exoplanet. A star and its planets form out of a collapsing cloud of dust and gas within a larger cloud called a nebula. As gravity pulls material in the collapsing cloud closer together, the centre of the cloud gets more and more compressed and, in turn, gets hotter. This dense, hot core is the beginning of a new star. Meanwhile, the cloud churns and begins to rotate in one direction, the cloud then flattens out into a disk with the core of the star in the centre. Over

What is a photon? Photons we see are in the star, our sun. The are built up by fusion reaction in the sun's core. They are first gamma radiation. Once they leave the sun's surface after moving in and out of it many times numerous times. They travel at the speed of light. All electromagnetic waves are made of photons. Photons travel at the speed of light which is 186,000 miles per second in reference to NASA. Nasa Photons are the smallest form of light according to Scienceline. Are the energy

Summative CER Final Document Electromagnetic Radiation can help us in various ways to learn about matter in the universe. It helps us by determining the location of matter in the universe, planets for example. The waves that bounce back at a certain time can determine the distance between you and the planet. NASA and other people have come up with many ways of finding matter in the universe. There is a lot of ways to find matter in the universe but this is the most popular. The type of wave it sends

confirmed and roughly estimated by Edwin Hubble in 1929 [2], and has since appropriately come to be known as the Hubble Constant. Hubble’s work & observational data confirmed that the recessional velocity of a given galaxy was linearly related to the distance between the observed galaxy and the observer, and this relationship could be expressed (as Hubble’s Law): V=HD Where V is the recessional velocity, D is the distance, and H is the scaling factor that equates the two, known as the Hubble Constant
