    ascension and declination of certain stars and constellations; we used the star chart like a graph with measurements of time and angles. Another part of the lab we used a star and planet locator also known as a planisphere to determine the time and date certain stars and constellations are visible, set, or rise at. Using the planisphere was quite easy to determine stars and how they correlate to time because it 's pleasant to visualize and address smaller stars that are not so apparent in the sky

    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

    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

    see exoplanet by observing the host star with various method they used like transit method, the one method they used to find the trappist-1. Observing distant star requires the use of the space telescope like the Kepler telescope and spitzer telescope and it is study by the use of electromagnetic radiation emit by the star and the planet. (spectroscopy) To be able to know the properties of the exoplanet, astronomers first determine the properties of the host star of the exoplanet such as

    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
