The Orion Nebula contains one of the brightest star clusters in the night sky. With a magnitude of 4‚ this nebula is easily visible from the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months. It is surprising‚ therefore‚ that this region was not documented until 1610 by a French lawyer named Nicholas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc. On March 4‚ 1769‚ Charles Messier inducted the Orion Nebula‚ M42‚ into his list of stellar objects. Then‚ in 1771‚ Messier released his list of objects for its first publication

Make it Shine (Kathryn Anne P. Bunagan) Imagine the remarkable glow of the first star appearing on the clear night sky—it brightens all of us in awe splendor as we witness a seemingly magic spell cast upon us. This spectacle is happening . as it begins to glow‚ we all become witnesses to this divine beauty personified- million of stars is born and we call them the freshmen. It is truly a mystery how such formless gas and dust ignite the crystal of dreams and unlock the mystery of star formation

Abstract The needs for an instrument that would take images of the universe from the space were inevitable since there were so many challenges studying space and the universe from earth. The Hubble telescope‚ named after the great scientist who confirmed the big bang theory‚ was the solution to this and it has been in space for the more than 20 years it was supposed to live. Over the time‚ the telescope has sent home so much information that mankind has realized how little they knew about the universe

Our Universe Our universe was created billions of years ago and no one is exactly sure of how. What will come of it in the future? Religions‚ beliefs‚ and scientists all have different perspectives of what will happen in the future to our earth and universe and they all have different views of how it all started. Once we know definitely how the earth was created‚ then we will find out most of the mysteries of the planets evolution. There are many different thoughts of what is to come of our earth

It would be nearly impossible to document every occurrence from ~13.7 billion years ago (the proposed beginning of the universe) to the present; however‚ comedic author Bill Bryson manages to provide great intellectual insight into many complex topics while still making entertaining remarks. Although he may be no expert in the arcane fields of quantum physics or mathematics‚ Bryson relied on a wide variety of sources (e.g. scientific research papers‚ interviews with experts) to compile this readily

Summarize the concepts that you used in the lab (1-2 paragraphs). For lab 11‚ I used the concept – Stellar Evolution. It is the process of showing a star changes over the course of the time. Also‚ it relates to the mass‚ ages‚ sizes of the stars. Also‚ I used the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram concept to classify the stars and find the Main Sequence. When the stars are hotter and more luminous‚ they main sequence tends to follow a band going from the bottom right to the top left at the diagram

Neutron Stars are born from the deaths of stars. When a star dies‚ if it is not massive enough to become a black hole‚ it becomes a neutron star. A neutron star has a mass between one to 3 suns compressed into the size of central park. A sugar cube sized slice of a neutron star will weigh around 10 billion tons(around the mass of Mt. Everest). The reason it can do this is because hydrogen atoms(the simplest and lightest material) are around 99.9999999999996% empty space. The atoms in this star

Radiation Factors Risk Assessment When colonizing Mars‚ there are a variety of different hazards that can affect the astronauts colonizing‚ including radiation. Radiation is found everywhere in outer space. It can cause cancer‚ death‚ and a decrease in blood count. According to the impact vs. probability matrix‚ radiation is rated as a 25 due to the high chance of being exposed and the high probability that radiation will negatively impact the astronauts’ future. As astronauts leave the protection

Titanic “The Unsinkable ship” The Titanic was known as "the unsinkable ship". She was the largest ship afloat at the time of her maiden voyage in April of 1912‚ during which she collided with an iceberg. She was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. A numerous amount of people believe that the collision that occurred on April 15‚ 1912 was The Titanic’s sister ship The Olympic‚ and that the wreckage was premeditated and was used to commit insurance fraud
