LIFE CYCLE OF A STAR Stars are formed in nebulae‚ interstellar clouds of dust and gas (mostly hydrogen). These stellar nurseries are abundant in the arms of spiral galaxies. In these stellar nurseries‚ dense parts of these clouds undergo gravitational collapse and compress to form a rotating gas globule. The globule is cooled by emitting radio waves and infrared radiation. It is compressed by gravitational forces and also by shock waves of pressure from supernova or the hot gas released

Principles of solar satellites In photovoltaic cells‚ such as the Hubble Space Telescope silicon solar cell shown here‚ the basic materials‚ the doping and the shape of the junction are chosen in such a way as to increase their capability of transforming the light energy into electrical energy. Each cell is capable of producing a small

the observatory room. I speculated around and try to hold my intellectually excitement from being baffled by the astronomical instrument to which the 24.5in telescope was center in the middle of the room.
