keen on Astronomy and spent most nighttimes mulling over the stars. One of Tycho Brahe’s first commitments to stargazing was the recognition and revision of a few grave blunders in the standard galactic tables. At that point‚ in 1572‚ he found a supernova placed in the group of stars of Cassiopeia. In the long run‚ his acclaim prompted

speed that electromagnetic waves travel at which is 300m/s and this means that the wave frequency depends on the wavelength. The wave frequency for gamma rays is 300/0.03=10000hz. Gamma rays are produced by violent events in the universe such as supernovas and the destruction of atoms‚ black holes are also sources of gamma rays. Gamma rays can also be produced on earth by nuclear explosions and radioactive atoms. Gamma rays can be used to see deep into space‚ satellites use a process called the Compton

scientist observed that the supernovas are becoming dimmer‚ which means they are getting closer instead of farther away. They were able to show that dark energy has an influence on light particles and photons. When a photon passes a galaxy it falls into the gravitational pull‚ and the dark energy because it repulses gravity makes the photon pass right through the galaxy with even more energy than when it entered. These findings make dark energy completely independent of the supernova observations. Astronomers

most important optical instrument in history. Telescopes are widely used around the world and come in different shapes‚ sizes and go by a variety of different names. They can be used to detect noise and sound and even be used to study the stars and supernovas but are more commonly used to gain another perspective into space‚ watching planets such as Jupiter or Saturn. As easy as it is to stare into space‚ some people don’t all fully appreciate the work and especially maths that goes into making these
