    The changes that occur during a star ’s life are called stellar evolution. The mass of a star determines the ultimate fate of a star. Stars that are more massive burn their fuel quicker and lead shorter lives. Because stars shine‚ they must change. The energy they lose by emitting light must come from the matter of which the star is made. This will lead to a change in its composition. Stars are formed from the material between stars‚ shine until they exhaust their fuel‚ and then die a predictable

    Andres Cardoso 5/12/2017 ASTM 101 Ranking Task Paper In the Doppler shift ranking task‚ astronomers measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation of visible and radio from celestial bodies to determine many attributes of the stars and planets. Some of the attributes that can be observed from measuring the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation are Luminosity distance and Doppler shift. “The equipment work by measuring the wavelength of absorption lines‚ where the larger absorption line means

    is the 10th brightest stars (11th as viewed from Earth). Hadar is a blue-white super giant in the constellation Centaurus (Cen). 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
