In about 4‚000 years‚ the motion of Alpha Centauri‚ who’s proper name is Rigel Kentaurus‚ will carry it close enough to Hadar that they will appear to be a magnificent double star. Because of the distance away from Earth that Alpha and Beta Centauri are (approximately 90 parsecs)‚ they will be an optical double. As they sit today‚ the two stars look like a pair of eyes

has been contained in a small space. The existence of black holes was first theorized by John Mitchell in 1783. Mitchell accepted Newton’s laws of gravity and suggested that light escaping from the surface of a star would have its speed reduced due to the gravitation pull of the star‚ and therefore if a star’s gravitation pull was strong enough even light would not be able to escape.[1] Using the approximate speed of light he reasoned that if an object was approximately 500 times the mass of the

girl and her father looking up at the stars on an autumn night‚ at a beach. Notice that Whitman approves of the father teaching his daughter astronomy. Whitman had very liberal ideas about education that were ahead of his time‚ the 19th century. She sees clouds engulf the stars‚ blocking her view. The voice of the poet reassures her that one‚ the stars will return‚ and two‚ a force exists that is even more eternal than the stars. Whitman really knows his stars.

Does or did our star‚ the sun‚ have a circumstellar disk around it? the answer is believed to be yes. Scientists believe that a newly formed star is immediately surrounded by a relatively dense cloud of gas and dust. In 1965‚ A. Poveda stated‚ "That new stars are likely to be obscured by this envelope of gas and dust (1)." In 1967‚ Davidson and Harwit agreed with Poveda and then termed
