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…
The universe today is huge. Scientists and Astronomers are finding new galaxies, planets asteroids, and more. But today, that's not what we are going to talk about. We’re going to talk about galaxies. Have you ever wondered what a galaxy really is? In the early 1900s, astronomers . Astronomers argued about spiral shaped, gas, dust were getting closer to discovering galaxiessome star vast cloud found in the night sky. In 1919, Edwin Hubble, an astronomer found the answers. Hubble used his…
Hello there. I will be talking about Olbers’ Paradox. In the year 1826, the German astronomer Heinrich Olbers’ proposed a controversial question about what makes the night sky dark if the universe contains an infinite number of bright stars (Newton 1). This question fascinates me because every celestial object that can be observed with our eyes, should have an important reason and role to play. The paradox about the night sky was also argued by Kepler as stated in his “Conversations with the…
Dark matter is matter that cannot be directly seen because it does not interact with light. This mysterious matter makes up the majority of mass in a galaxy. Although we cannot see dark matter we know that it is out there because we can see it effecting the motion of the stars in a galaxy and gravitational lensing. The first piece of evidence for dark matter is in the way we have observed galaxies moving. You would likely expect their behavior to replicate that of the Sun and the planets, with…
One concept that has interested is dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter is the thing that makes it possible for galaxies to exist. When astrophysicists and cosmologist calculated why the universe is structure the way it is, it became clear that there’s just not enough normal matter. The gravity of the visible matter is not strong enough to from galaxies and complex structures. The starts would more likely be scattered all over the place and not form galaxies. Therefore, cosmologist concluded…
The Big Bang is the most widely accepted theory about how our universe first began. This theory was first proposed by Belgian priest Georges Lemaître in the 1920’s. It suggests the universe was once condensed into a space equivalent to less than a grain of sand and expanded to billions of kilometers wide in about a second producing incredible amounts of heat. Everything you see is from that rapid expansion. That’s difficult to imagine, however, 3 major pieces of evidence support this; Hubble’s…
IMPOSSIBLE. Not only...but also, You can never escape the black hole’s gravity. According to theory, within a black hole there’s something called a singularity. (Whats inside a black hole?, By: Camille M. Carlisle). A singularity is what all the matter in a black hole gets crushed into. For instance, think of a black hole as a pit. You can never get out. Let me give you some advice; Do not fall into a black…
Dark matter and dark energy are perhaps the biggest mysteries in the universe. Dark matter makes up 26% of the universe, dark energy makes up 69% of the universe, and ‘normal’ matter- everything visually observed in the universe- makes up only 5% of the universe. Dark matter and energy are thought to be explanations for various phenomena that have been observed in deep space. Dark matter is matter that cannot be detected by its absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation. Scientists…
Black holes are cosmic marvels. They are incredibly fascinating and interesting to study. To understand a black hole, we must first understand how gravity works. Gravity is the force that attracts two or more objects toward one another, but what if that gravitational pull was so strong that nothing could escape. That is the basics behind a black hole. These anomalies are so strong that light can’t even escape. Some people believe that black holes are empty space, but they are not. Black holes…
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 affected. In 1905 when Albert Einstein created the theory of relativity he predicted Black Holes and it wasnt until 1971 when the first one was found in space. When Albert einstein first introduced his theory of…
