    Stars Life Cycle

    • 584 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Stars are born of gas and dust and have a life cycle based on their original mass. Stars are not alive, but they go through stages. There are many sources that prove that this fact is true! These sources include the life cycle of stars, star classification, and types of galaxies. These different life cycles are for the high-mass stars and the low-mass stars. There are 3 types of galaxies. These galaxies are Irregular, Spiral, and Elliptical. Irregular galaxies have no defined shape and have mostly

    Solar flares, Sunspots, and Radiation Solar flares, Sun spots, and Radiation are all vital parts of the sun cycle. Sunspots create solar flare which gives off radiation, without one another the sun could explode because of energy build up. Solar flares are defined as brief eruptions of highly energized radiation from the sun, but why does this happen? Solar flares occur when magnetic energy is built up, then rapidly released at once, during, the sun gives off generous amounts of X and gamma

    will take two total solar eclipses and use the distance from where the star is and where it appears to be. I will look at two stars and find the difference of where they are observed and where they are located. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that when I compare the distance of where the star appears to be and where it really is, it will show that the sun’s gravity does indeed bend light. Research In space, objects (plants, stars, etc.) sit in something called space-time. The bigger the mass of an object

    The study of our stars is very important, astronomers study them to predict what will happen to our sun, which directly affects us. The first objects I observed were Albireo, two binary stars. They are about three hundredths to four hundredths and ten light years away. According to Stauffer Mark T from the American Psychological Association, “Albireo’s stunning colors provide a vivid contrast that has earned this double recognition as the most beautiful in the sky. Albireo is easily split using

    Does Dark Matter Exist

    • 554 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Dark matter, the unsolved mystery has become a focal point in current research. Scientists have inferred that 5 percent of the universe is made of ordinary atomic matter (stars and galaxies), 72 percent is made of dark energy and 23 percent is made of dark matter [1]. Ordinary matter is easily detected as it emits or reflects light but dark matter is an invisible entity so how do we know it even exists? Fritz Zwicky was one of the first astronomers to suspect the existence of dark matter through

    Throughout the course of our existence, humans have looked to the skies for a multitude of reasons. A couple of them would be something along the lines of religious beliefs or the physical use of the stars as a guide or a compass to bring families home or help discover new territories. The use of constellations have been recorded in Mesopotamian culture that has been dated back to around 4000 B.C. According to a “Constellation History” article by Jim Fuchs “In the 8th century B.C.

    sky. Much unlike the mythology behind it, Draco’s position in the northern sky is very constant. Draco is located just above the Northern horizon and is a circumpolar constellation. It never sets and it rotates in tight proximity to the Northern Star. To be more exact, it spans about 20 degrees and wraps around the north celestial pole. The galactic plane also runs just east, through a neighboring constellation, Cygnus. Aside from its notable location, Draco also contains some deep sky objects

    much a star wobbles or goes around the centre of gravity of the exoplanet and star, the violent wobbles must conclude that 51 Pegasi b is a Jupiter sized exoplanet. Hd209458 b is also a Jupiter sized exoplanet, which may have been determined using the calculation or the wobble method, having similar affects to its host stars light spectrum as 51 Pegasi b has on its host star. Astronomers are unsure whether the exoplanet named Kepler 22b is a larger Earth or more of a mini Neptune, as it is boarder

    Phobos orbits Mars has an average distance of about 9380 km from the center of the planet and a rotational period of about 7hr 39 min. a = 9380 km = 9.38 x 106 m P = 7 hr 39 min = 7.65 hr = 27540 sec (27540sec)^2=4(3.14159)^2/(6.673x10^-11m^3kg^-1s^-2)(M1+M2)*(9.38x10^6m)^3 Which equals (9.38x10^6m)^3/(27540sec)^2* 4(3.14159)^2/(6.673x10^-11m^3kg^-1s^-2)=(M1+M2) equals to (M1+M2)=6.44x10^23kg Estimate the mass of Mars. Since the mass of Mars is so much greater than the mass of Phobos, (M1 + M2)
