Hubble Space Telescope Amount Of Energy
1,880 wordsAn image of the core of the Whirlpool galaxy M 51 taken by the Wide Field Planetary Camera onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. It shows an immense ring of dust and gas which is thought to surround and hide a giant black hole, 1 million times the mass of the Sun, in the center of the galaxy. The ring forms an accretion disc of gas, about 100 light years across, falling toward the black hole. The two brighter areas perpendicular to the widest dark lane are two jets of particles accelerated by the ...

This year marks the centennial of the birth of Edwin Hubble. There can be no doubt that future historians, writing about the scientific advances of this age will describe the 20 th century as epoch-changing in giving us the first correct view of how the universe is organized. The principal cosmological problem of discovering the large scale content of the univer...

Mount Wilson Billion Years
2,655 words... air theme from then on. Hubble's interest in what Gauss and Karl Schwarzschild called experimental geometry can be traced to his collaboration with Tolman that must have begun in 1934. Their joint paper (Hubble and Tolman 1935), sets out how galaxy counts, conceptually, could be used to find the curvature of space by direct measurement. The principle is to determine if the volume encompassed within various "distances", appropriately defined, increases at the rate of r[ 3 ], or more rapidly o...

Galaxy Its Spiral Shape Galaxy Its Spiral Galaxies
1,100 wordsWhen you look at a distant galaxy, you are not only seeing into space, but far into the past as well. The light from one of the galaxies we see today actually started its journey toward Earth more than two million years ago. The discovery of galaxies [ 1 ] began in the early 1400 s by Polish astronomers and continues to be studied today. Knowing as we do today that the universe is amenable to investigation, and that telescopes can examine millions of galaxies at distances of millions of light ye...

Each religion can celebrate those who provide service to future generations through their contributions to the continuing improvement of human culture, knowledge, altruism, and environment. Each religion can inspire and support people in their efforts to build a positive long-term future for humanity. Attention to the voices and needs of future generations, along with support for each person who wants to work on their behalf, could become a significant part of all r...

Thousand Six Hundred Planet From The Sun
1,448 wordsOn a hot summer night, as you are sitting outside enjoying the evening, you tilt your head back and look into the night sky. You begin to wonder what is really out there? How far away are the stars? Are they stars or are they planets? We live in a part of the night sky called the Milky Way Galaxy. Our galaxy can be seen with the naked eye on a clear summer night. It resembles a ribbon stretched across the night sky. During the summer is when the Milky Way is at its fullest with the stars so clus...

Space And Time Intelligent Life
1,052 wordsThe scientific community is largely in agreement on the fact that life began here on Earth about three and a half billion years ago. In a universe ruled over largely by entropy, it is inane to say that any set of circumstances could be completely unique. The primordial constituents of Earths atmosphere gave way to the building blocks of life, as could and in all likelihood has happened elsewhere in the vastness of space and time. Since the dawn of mankind, we have looked to the stars in search o...

Back And Forth Sound Waves
694 wordsChristian Johann Doppler, born November 29, 1803 in Salzburg, Austria died March 17, 1853 in Venice. Christian Doppler an Austrian Physicist who first described how the detected frequency of light and sound waves is affected by the relative motion of the source and the detector. This aspect became known as the Doppler Effect. Christian was educated at the Polytechnic al Institute in Vienna. Doppler became director of the physical Institute and professor of experimental physics of the University ...

Big Bang Theory Hydrogen Ions
3,468 wordsLuminosity is the amount of light that is radiated from a star. White light is the composition of all colors. In elements, the energy discharge can be displayed as light. Just by looking at the colors that are discharged, one may precisely identify the element. In understanding the universe, the Doppler effect is one of the most important tools. The Doppler effect is a shift in frequency due to a moving source. Skipping a rock on water would be an example of this effect. The circles would be off...

Center Of The Galaxy Super Clusters Small
352 wordsThe Milky Way is the place we call home, as well as about 100 billion other stars. It looks very much like other spiral galaxies when viewed from above. There are spiral arms and a nucleus. Viewed from the side, it is about 140, 000 LY in width and the nucleus (core) is about 20, 000 LY tall. The entire galaxy travels at around 900, 000 km / hr . And it takes. 25 x 109 to rotate completly. The Sun can be found rather far from the center of the galaxy, halfway to the edge of visible matter along ...

Miles Per Hour Gravitational Pull
724 wordsKristy Pryzmont May 5 th, 2001 Astronomy HWK # 4 ASTR 220 1. There is evidence that supports the hypothesis that the Milky Way Galaxy has a massive black hole at its core. At the center of our very own galaxy is a mysterious source of energy. Vast amounts of radiation pour from this compact source which may be a Supermassive Black Hole. Astronomers found an intense radio source with strings of other radio sources clustered about it in the direction of the galactic center. The intense source was ...

M P H Black Hole
3,742 wordsBlack holes are objects so dense that not even light can escape their gravity, and since nothing can travel faster than light, nothing can escape from inside a black hole. Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. Since our best theory of gravity at the moment is Einsteins general theory of relativity, we have to delve into some results of this theory to understand black ...
