    Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are very luminous and dense regions in the center of galaxies believed to host Super Massive Black Holes (SMBHs). The electromagnetic radiation sent out from AGNs is conjectured to come from matter that the SMBHs accrete which then takes the form of an accretion disk circling the black hole. These accretion disks are best approximated with an irregular density and temperature distribution made up by very hot gas and plasma~\citep{skadowski2015global}. The common conceptual

    A supernova is a marvelous thing that happens in space, and scientists are trying to use these explosions of stars to learn more about our expanding galaxy with the debris and elements that explode from the supernova, the largest explosion in space which can outshine many galaxies. Since the stars is a large distance away, when the supernova does happen, it would have actually happened a couple hundred years ago, because the light takes many years to reach our eyes. A supernova can happen in two

    from space that could result in the extinction of human life on Earth is a supernova. A supernova is an explosion of a star in the universe. There are more than a hundred billion stars in our milky way galaxy (226). Most of the star explosions happen fairly far away from our solar system. However, because our sun orbits the galaxy we will be neighbouring different sets of stars at different points in time. Sometimes we are even just tens of light years away from a supernova (226). The closer you

    All stars are born in nebulae. Nebulae are huge cold clouds of gas and dust. The formation of protostars requires huge clouds of gas and dust collapsing under gravitational forces. The stage of a protostar last an approximate of 50 million years. As stars grow, they also expand. When the core runs out of hydrogen and helium, the contacts and outer layers of the core expand, become cold, and the brightness decreases. This is also known as a Red Giant or a Red Supergiant which mainly consists of the
