    Humans have always had a fascination with flying since the beginning of time. Hot air balloons were invented in 1783, one step closer to the airplane. The balloon is filled with hot air, which makes the balloon fly to the air because hot air is lighter than cool air. The only problem with the hot air balloon was that you could not control the direction it was going. The first airplane was actually a glider. This aircraft was launched from a cliff or from any high place. It rode on the wind

    meticulous cataloging of stars. The majority of the work had been done by a succession of underpaid and predominantly anonymous women known as “computers” or “Pickering’s Harem”. These included women such as Annie Jump Cannon, who did the crucial work in stellar classification, and Henrietta Swann Leavitt, who uncovered the correlation between the brightness of stars and their period of observation. In her papers and her thesis, Cecilia wrote about how elements in stars remained relatively the same

    Abstract Stars are made from an interstellar gas cloud. It was believed that in the process of forming a star, the cloud released material onto the interstellar disk in which the stars gradually accumulated it. However, because some stars seemed to have a drastic increase of brightness in a short amount of time, this idea had to be reconsidered. The stars that went through this process seemed to maintain their high luminosity for about 100 years. Astrophysicist Eduard Vorobyov suggested the idea

The suns diameter is 109 times earth and it is has a mass 330,000. 3 quarters of the suns mass is hydrogen, the rest is mostly made up of helium, with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon and iron. The sun is a G-type main-sequence star and it is referred to as a yellow dwarf. It formed approximately 4.567 billion years ago from

    15.3 feet in height, now orbits the sun every 371 days. It observes 100,000 stars in a portion of our Milky Way galaxy to check whether the planets revolve around the stars. Kepler is explicitly looking for planets that could support life. For this, the worlds must meet two conditions: they should be small enough to sustain life, which is about the size of Earth, and they should be in the "habitable zone" of their stars. In the habitable zone, conditions on the planet, such as temperature, would

    discussed is why stars twinkle at night, and how technology has been enhanced to produce clear images of the stars. The stars twinkling was fist investigated in 1956 by the US air force Dr. William Protheroe and Dr. William Blitzstein are conducting the inquiry from the University of Pennsylvania observatory in Philadelphia. Stars twinkle because their light must pass through pockets of Earth's atmosphere that vary in temperature and density, and it's all very turbulent. On rough nights, a star appears to

    question “What is the chemical difference between a star and a planet?” A big difference between stars and planets is mass and size. Stars are massive balls of gas with pressure inside them that causes a nuclear reaction, which makes them bright and hot. A object would have to have 80 times the mass of Jupiter to have the nuclear reaction in its core. Making planet's not big enough to be a star. Although there is a huge difference in size and mass, many stars and planets are similar. Many planets are rocky
