Supercluster

have pushed the frontier of seeing outward, reaching out past our own system. They have found that systems are usually assembled together in groups; bunches of planets are associated in a tremendous system called super groups. Even bigger, the superclusters are connected to form long fibers, which have all the earmarks of being the biggest structures in the

a very small galaxy called the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal. It is also eating up material from the Magellanic Clouds. The Milky Way has several satellite galaxies and is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which is a component of the Virgo Supercluster. The Milky Way is the second-largest galaxy in the Local Group. The milky way has at least 100 billion planets. The most known planets are in our solar system. They are in order from closest to the farest away from the sun. Mercury, Venus

“Why is the night sky dark?” For thousands of years this question has been asked. Astronomers are continually growing closer to the answer but still no one has yet found an answer that is efficient enough. While scientists steadily collect data, they are hoping to find some clue as to realize that the answer may be because of something that is too mind blowing for us to comprehend. There is perhaps no current problem of greater importance to astrophysics and cosmology than that of "dark matter".

Let’s take a look at what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his Liberal majority government got done in the first half of 2017. The quotes here are from Trudeau’s statement, released this afternoon as MPs headed home for Parliament’s summer break, and the brief comments provide links to stories, columns and expert analysis: “Between February and June, I signed agreements with the leaders of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the Assembly of First Nations, and the Métis National Council, establishing a process

that there may exist an enormous amount of matter in the Universe that cannot be detected from the light that it emits. The evidence of dark matter is from the motions of astronomical objects, specifically stellar, galactic, and galaxy cluster/supercluster observations. The basic argument is that if we measure velocities in some region, then there has to be enough mass there for gravity to stop all the objects from flying apart. When such velocity measurements are done on large scales, it turns

Throughout the history of human civilization humans have tried to find connections between the observations of the sky and their ideas about the nature of the universe. People have always been enchanted by the stars and their endless number. The mathematical meaning of infinity was attributed to ancient Greek philosopher Archimedes. After Galileo invented the telescope which allowed him to discern innumerable number of stars in the galaxy, astronomers had acquired a powerful tool to investigate celestial

The cosmos has always been fascinating. From the Maya to the Egyptians to the Greeks, reading into what is beyond our terrestrial existence has been an ongoing process. We’ve come a long way from using the stars for calendars and religion. Our advancing technology allows us to probe, and explore. It would be a shame not to go searching, given that it is a very human thing to do. There is no doubt that the prospects of discovering an alien organism or a second Earth are exciting. And we keep getting

Report and summary of Cosmos a Documentary by Neil Tayson Cosmos is a TV show presented by Neil and physicist who is really smart and has a lot of knowledge of this Materia. In each episode there is something new to learn and every one of them are really interesting, at least to me they were. This documentary will take you and open your eyes to things you haven’t seen before or haven’t been exposed too. In each of the paragraphs you will find a summary of things I learn and personal thoughts as I

Doppler effect The Doppler effect, named after Christian Doppler, is the change in frequency and wavelength of a wave as perceived by an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. For waves that propagate in a wave medium, such as sound waves, the velocity of the observer and of the source are relative to the medium in which the waves are transmitted. The total Doppler effect may therefore result from motion of the source, motion of the observer, or motion of the medium. Each of these

Sam Alexander ENGN 9: Final Paper December 7, 2016 THE MAINE FOOD CLUSTER PROJECT Abstract The Libra Foundation should work to expand food clusters in Maine to bolster a fragmented Maine agricultural industry. Specifically, Libra should focus their support on processing and distribution channels that will expand the product market and initial value. In this report, I will explore various possible actions of the Libra Foundation and explain why, given the background of the Maine food industry and
