    force‚ interstellar clouds of dust and gases condenses into a huge globule of gas and dust to form a glowing Protostar. If there is not enough material in the protostar‚ one possible outcome is a large‚ notvery-luminous celestial body called brown dwarf. Stage 3–If a protostar contains enough matter the central temperature reaches 15 million ˚C. At this temperature‚ Hydrogen nuclei start to fuse together to form Helium and the star begins to release energy. This energy radiation production prevents

    * Compare the views of Hubble and Friedman about the expansion of the universe: Edwin Hubble’s observation In 1929‚ Edwin Hubble announced that his observations of galaxies outside our own Milky Way showed that they were systematically moving away from us with a speed that was proportional to their distance from us. The more distant the galaxy‚ the faster it was receding from us. The universe was expanding after all‚ just as General Relativity originally predicted! Hubble observed that the light

    its helium runs out and then all of the outer layers drift away from the core as a gaseous shell. The gas that surrounds the core is called a "Planetary Nebula". The core that is left then becomes a "white dwarf". After the white dwarf cools down enough it stops shining and dies‚ forming a "black dwarf". Another life cycle of a star involves a star with a mass of 10 solar masses or more. These stars evolve similarly to stars of about 1 solar mass until they reach "main sequence". The star shines

    Astronomers have been studying the stars since the first person laid eyes upon the night sky. Thousands of years of observations and recording all of the events have all contributed to the vast knowledge we enjoy today. The purpose of this paper is to describe the creation of stars‚ destruction/ life cycle of stars and our star the sun. Within this last century‚ we have been fortunate to have the great minds of Einstein and Hubble who made valuable contributions to our current understanding. Also

    first supernova‚ named SN 1986G‚ was discovered within the dark dust lane of the galaxy by R. Evans in 1986. It was later identified as a type Ia supernova‚ which forms when a white dwarf’s mass grows large enough to ignite carbon fusion in its center‚ touching off a runaway thermonuclear reaction‚ as may happen when a white dwarf in a binary star system strips gas away from the other star. SN 1986G was used to demonstrate that the spectra of type supernovae are not all identical‚ and that type supernovae

    Madras; in 1927‚ he started their physics honors course‚ graduating in 1930 at the top of his class. He read far beyond the curriculum‚ for instance about Fermi statistics‚ where he was most intrigued by Ralph H. Fowler’s work on the constitution of white dwarf stars. This subject inspired him to write his first scientific paper‚ “Compton Scattering and the New Statistics”‚ which was published in the “Proceedings of the Royal Society” in 1928. Upon graduation‚ based on this paper‚ Fowler at the University
