Energy Star

A first generation star would be made of mostly lighter materials rather than planets formed later. Since the Universe was originally made up of light elements (Hydrogen and Helium), the planets that would've been formed then would probably be mostly gas giants or planets that lack heavier elements or metals. The planets that are in the process of forming today are most likely going to be made of more heavy elements, since the dust in the nebulae have had time to condense and form heavier atoms…

Exoplanets - what are they? Exoplanets, short for 'Extra solar planets', are planets that orbit around stars other than our sun. Nearly 2000 exoplanets have been discovered (1969 planets in 1249 planetary systems including 490 multiple planetary systems as of 1 October 2015). Why can't we detect exoplanets by direct observation - even with telescopes? The stars exoplanets orbit are much bigger and much brighter than the exoplanets, which are too near and are blurred out by the star's light. We…

messenger god. The Sumerians also knew about Mercury since at least 5,000 years ago. It was often……………….(akin, related, connect , joint) with Nabu, the god of writing. Mercury was also given separate names for its looks as both are morning star and as an evening star. Greek astronomers knew, however, that the two names ………………………..(ascribe , attributed, apply , associates) to the same body. Heraclitus expected that both Mercury and Venus orbited the sun, not Earth. Because the planet is very…

magnitude which is the measure of brightness as viewed from the earth and does not take into consideration distance which can mean results are not as accurate in comparison to absolute magnitude. Absolute magnitude is measured the magnitude of the star if it was at a distance of 10 parsecs which gives it a baseline. However, the great benefit of using Hubble diagrams is that the only information needed is the relative distance to a galaxy or galaxies and not an absolute distance that can be…

different types of ways planetary systems are discovered and the different ones that have already been discovered. Extrasolar planets are defined as planets rotating around other stars- or remnants of stars. This is comparable to our planet rotating around the Sun. We have known for centuries that these other stars existed. Despite this, it wasn’t until the 1990’s that the first extrasolar planets were discovered (Bennett et al, 2016) In order to discover the planets, we must have ways of…

nebula looks like a donut-like ring wrapped around the middle of a football shaped cloud of glowing gas. It’s about one light year across and the glowing light the Ring Nebula produces is not coming from the planets but rather from the hot central star ionizes atoms in the gas forming intense ultraviolent light. As seen through the telescope, the reddish color of the outer ring is coming from the nitrogen and sulfur, the cyan color of the inner rings is coming from the glow of the hydrogen, and…

The Eta Carinae has two stars and for examples we will name them η Car 1 and η Car 2. η Car 1 has a mass of about ~100 to 200 solar masses, which equals about 1.99 × 1030 in kilograms. η Car 1 also has a 60 to 800 solar radius, which is 6.957 00 × 108 meters. η Car 1 has a 5,000,000 Luminosity. η Car 1 has a temperature of 9,400 to 35,200 Kelvins, which in Fahrenheit is Kelvin multiplied by 9/5 minus 459.67. η Car 1 is less than 3 Million Light Years old. The other star, η Car 2, has about a…

the frequencies of this light distinguishes the substance that produced it. This method is called outflow spectroscopy and is an extremely valuable logical instrument. It is utilized as a part of space science to examine the components present in stars and in substance investigation. Electromagnetic radiation can be depicted regarding its wavelength the separation between the peaks of the waves or its recurrence the quantity of peaks that go by in a given measure of time. The…

Introduction Our Sun produces enough energy in one second to sustain life on earth for millions of years. However, there is an energy far more powerful than our Sun that makes it pale in comparison. Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic type of light in the universe and produce more energy in one second than the sun will produce in its ten-billion year lifetime. These dramatically powerful energetic explosions often originate billions of light-years from Earth yet produce a light so…

The active region displayed in Figure 1 show a larger pore and several smaller pores in G-band. Bright points and several micropores are also visible. This active region was observed from 18:08 UT to 23:38 UT. However, there are three gapes from 18:42 to 19:08 20:21 to 20:47 and 21:59 to 22:26. Figure 1 shows the first image of the time series. Figure 2 illustrates the evolution of the fine structures at the inner part of the granules (i.e. towards umbra) at the pore boundary. Several dark…
