However‚ not all planets have moons. Based upon what we learned in the astronomy course of how everything has a beginning and an ending. Our solar system got created from the cloud that was the Solar Nebula. All stars exist in island called galaxies‚ and galaxies contain old and new stars as well of clumps of dust clouds. These clouds mostly contain hydrogen and some heavier metals. However‚ any elements that is heavier than helium is considered to a metal by Astronomers. The formation of the solar

Looking Into Space: Questions: 1. A galaxy is a collection of planets of stars and space. The name of our galaxy is the “milky way”‚ and its shape is of a spiral. 2. Another galaxy found in space is called “Andromeda”. 3. There are millions upon millions of galaxies in the universe. 4. Cosmology is the study of the cosmos. 5. Light Year: The distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year‚ approximately 9.46 trillion (9.46 × 1012) kilometers or 5.88 trillion (5.88 × 1012) miles. Star:

Luke M Coffey Lauren Humphreys Honors Geology 2 April 21‚ 2016 Alien Planet Kepler-452b Our Milky Way Galaxy is filled with exoplanets—statistically speaking at least one for each of the hundreds of billions of stars in the galaxy. An astonishing finding is that the most common type of planet in our galaxy are those with sizes between those of Earth and Neptune. This has become a new class of planet that is neither terrestrial nor giant and one without an accepted theory for its formation. Planets

Atlas the Mighty One day a comet named Chino was flying in space and smashing everything on its way. Until he reached the Milky Way galaxy. He collided with another comet near a black hole. The explosion was so the black hole exploded and made many planets. The planets were scattered throughout the galaxy. Then the being that was inside named Atlas came out and headed towards earth since he was near the planets. Atlas then started pulling things out a small bag that he contained around

universe? To start off‚ I define the universe as all matter and energy that exists. Our cosmic address in the universe begins at our galaxy in the local group‚ which is an island of stars in space held together by gravity and all orbiting a common center. Besides our galaxy there are about 40 other galaxies in our own local group. Our galaxy‚ The Milky Way galaxy then goes on to our solar system. Within the solar system there are 100 billion stars‚ the biggest being the sun. The star is a large

During the next eighteen days‚ the Odyssey navigated through a dazzling array of nebulae as they left the Orion spur and entered the Perseus arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. In one area‚ in particular‚ the spirals of nebula clouds reminded Surina of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting. On another occasion‚ she saw an electrifying nebula cloud in the shape of a cat’s neon green eye staring at her from a distance. In fact‚ the serpentine arms of the nebula clouds stretched throughout interstellar

PHYSICAL SCIENCE physical change-changes affecting the form of a chemical substance‚Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds Example:breaking glass Chemical changes- when a substance combines with another to form a new substance ‚called chemical synthesis. Example: burning wood Law of Conservation of Mass-The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations

Greek Mythology in Astronomy The creatures and deities in Greek mythology are said to have connection with the astronomy and the star constellations. In this fragment of Hesiod’s poem “Nymphs like the Graces‚ Phaesyle and Coronis and rich-crowned Cleeia and lovely Phaeo and long-robed Eudora‚ whom the tribes of men upon the earth call Hyades.” (Hesiod‚ Homeric Hymns‚ Epic Cycle‚ Homerica. 1922) titled Astronomy‚ he mentioned and catalogued many of the constellations based on creatures and gods

observe and study the movements in space from our own planet in order to further our understanding of the universe. Through astronomy‚ we hoped to find the many mysteries and properties of the world. Astronomy is the study of moons‚ planets‚ stars‚ galaxies‚ nebulae‚ their many features and properties‚ and situations that happens outside of Earth. The study was dated back to the times of the Egyptians‚ however their beliefs in God prevented them from further looking into the universe‚ because to them
