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.

Introduction Our human nature is to question and seek truth about everything in this world. For many centuries the origin of human kind was not a debated topic and all believed that the creation story of genesis where God’s hands over a six-day period created all that we know. This common knowledge was challenged in 1755 by a German Philosopher named Immanuel Kant (Macpherson‚ 1911) He was known as the central figure of modern philosophy and created the theory that the earth was much older then

“This is a man’s world‚ but it wouldn’t be nothing without a woman” (Brown). This iconic song from James Brown is especially true in the field of astronomy as Jocelyn Bell is one of the very few women within its field accredited for making a significant contribution to its study. On top of this there are not too many contributions being made to astronomy in the 21st century‚ however‚ Jocelyn Bell is one of a select few who have made a modern day contribution to the field. Jocelyn Bell discovered
