December 30‚ 2013 University of Phoenix The Science of Stars Paper The stars are the majority and most widely acknowledged astronomical components that symbolize the most essential development of the galaxies. The disbursement‚ age‚ and the framework of the night sky in the galaxy maintain a record of the heritage‚ evolution and characteristics of our galaxy. More important the stars are integral to the fabrication and allocation

He strengthened the idea that science should be on the basis of facts with supports by numerous evidences. His science and scientific method reflect the transition from medieval to modern science. At

- The first astronomical object I observed was two very bright‚ small‚ and circular dots which I later learned were a popular binary star named Algeria. At first‚ I could barely see the stars but after focusing my eye in the telescope I noticed that one star was a light blue shade and the other star was a vibrant yellow color. Additionally‚ the yellow star was significantly brighter‚ more visible‚ and larger than the tiny‚ dull blue star. When I typically look up in the sky‚ I notice how most stars

There are however limitations to the effectiveness of measuring the Doppler shift‚ such as the earth’s atmosphere

until the invention on the optical telescope prior to 1608 that Ptolemy’s model was definitively disproven. Another flaw was that he believed that the Earth was the centre of the universe and the Sun‚ Moon and all other planets revolved around it. Telescopes have improved further still from the optical telescope that could only be used at night in fine weather‚ to the all-weather Radio telescope which detect radio waves coming from space‚ to the Space telescope in which objects in the universe emit

Through much of human existence‚ people have looked towards the sky and pondered what is out there; all the thoughts may have not been talking about space‚ but just the boundaries within their lives. In recent decades space is something that most [people] in the past would not have dreamt of reaching would soon become a vital part of human life as a space exploration become prominent.
