Dark matter

inquisitive mind reading this, will immediately have two distinct phrases come to mind: Dark matter and dark energy. From being mentioned in groundbreaking scientific journals and television and movie series’ to even this essay you are reading, dark matter and its existence has made quite the impression on scientists, documentarians and aspiring students.…

Dark energy is a term scientists use to describe the unknown source of energy which causes the universe to accelerate outwards rapidly, causing the known universe to expand. This is another concept which is directly applicable to the theory of increasing…

Universe is Expanding?, Live Science). Hubble discovered that there was a relationship between the red shift, also known as the cosmological shift in the spectral lines from the galaxy and the distance to an remote galaxy. Scientists also found that dark energy is the name given to the anti-gravitating influence. This is why there is an accelerating rate of our universe expanding. Even though this seems right, there have been other theories. The first theory as you know is that the universe will…

thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that to be dead wrong. Our universe is, in actuality, speeding up in its rate of expansion! This left scientists puzzled; it went against almost everything they had thought. Since there is matter everywhere, and that matter has gravitational attraction, so why wasn’t…

essay is dark matter’s importance on galaxy formation. I chose this topic because the notion of dark matter piqued my interest. It’s non-luminous so it cannot be directly observed by a telescope, which prompted me to learn more about the topic and understand it on a deeper level. Outline Introduction In this stage, the topic will be introduced, as well as a brief introduction of the subtopics that will be addressed. However the bulk of this stage will be dedicated to discussing dark matter and…

Rebecca McKenney Frontiers of Astronomy Mrs. Alburg 26 April 2017 Our Galactic Universe 1. Galaxies can be as large as a few thousand to several hundreds of thousands of light years across. 2. Astronomers, at the time this was released, believe that there are over a hundred billion galaxies in the universe. 3. It is estimated that a light year is 5.88 trillion miles. 4. Galaxies come in three different main type shapes. There are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. 5. Spiral galaxies…

The crucial element that needs to be improved upon with crew safety lies within the area of bacteria of celestial bodies, but from space itself. Mankind has never been in contact with these bacteria that originate from other celestial bodies, and the consequences of encountering these forms of bacteria are unknown. The safest and most logical concept is to improve upon all the shielding from space, to create as little contact with the forms of bacteria as possible (Krishen 5). Another area of…

me, but it probably scares and excites scientists studying it all over the world. Since we only know a fraction of the inter-workings of the universe, there are many questions and things going on that we simply have no answer for yet. Dark Energy darkenergy-1 Dark Energy is the unknown force/energy that takes up around 70% of the universe. Sure, you look up and see billions of stars, but there's also the space between those stars and the effect it has on them that puzzles scientists. It's…

whatsoever, and the fact that they are so dark that they cant be seen since light cant pass through their event horizon. This is also the leading factor on why some people dont believe in them because there is so much evidence against them. The fact that they dont emit any rays or waves that can be picked up by nasa's satellites or telescopes is the reason its hard to track and see these black holes. The only way to even tell where black holes are is to see the matter around them and how it is…

go. Each individual, whether they know about it or not, has this slot in the back of their conscience filled with this dark matter that, at any given moment, can be triggered and take over the more sensible parts of the brain. It is not a matter of possession. This darkness is inside of us all from the day we are born, and it only grows stronger the older we are. It is only a matter of whether a person is pushed far enough for it to be seen. People may go their whole life without this side of…
