Nuclear Fusion White Dwarf
1,160 wordsThe night sky, unimaginably deep, is a breathtaking sight. Some three thousand stars can be seen with the naked eye, twinkling points of light that have inspired the human spirit since the dawn of time. Study of the stars, based on data collected from visible-light telescopes, radio telescopes, and detectors wavelengths can now reveal extraordinary amounts of information: size, temperature, chemical composition, internal structure, distance and rotation rate, among other factors. One of the most...

Nuclear Reaction Naked Eye
1,061 wordsSTARS A star is a large celestial body composed of gravitationally contained hot gases giving off electromagnetic radiation, especially light. The sun is actually a star. Unlike the sun the stars seem to be fixed, but in fact stars are in rapid motion, but their distances are so great no relative changes can be seen with the naked eye. The sun is a typically star, with a visible surface called a photosphere, which an atmosphere of hot gases, and above them an outlawing stream of particles called...

Planet From The Sun Carbon Dioxide
2,115 wordsWhat are planets? Planets are kinda like asteroid around the sun. There are nine planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth (Our planet), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Terrestrial Planets The terrestrial planets are the four innermost planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are called terrestrial because they have a compact, rocky surface like the Earth's. The planets, Venus, Earth, and Mars have significant atmospheres while Mercury has...

Theory Of Relativity Werner Heisenberg
2,209 wordsWerner Heisenberg, born in the dawn of the twentieth century became one of its greatest physicists; he is also among its most controversial. While still in his early twenties, he was among the handful of bright, young men who created quantum mechanics, the basic physics of the atom, and he became a leader of nuclear physics and elementary particle research. He is best known for his uncertainty principle, a component of the so-called Copenhagen interpretation of the meaning, and uses of quantum m...

World War Ii 60 Years
1,154 wordsWas the "Hindenburg disaster" a result of sabotage committed by the opponents of the Nazi organization? Did a bolt of lightning strike the zeppelin? Or was one of the most devastating accidents in aviation history nothing but a cunningly planned insurance fraud? Over 60 years ago, airships were the "queens of the skies. " In the early 1900 s, a stubborn, yet brilliant German count, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, took keen interest in balloon flights and was devoted to the design and construction ...

Liquid Hydrogen Natural Gas
725 wordsHelium (Greek helios, "sun"), symbol He, inert, colorless, odorless gas element. In group 18 of the periodic table, helium is one of the noble gases. The atomic number of helium is 2. Pierre Janssen discovered helium in the spectrum of the corona of the sun during an eclipse in 1868. Shortly after it was identified as an element and named by the chemist Sir Edward Franklin and the British astronomer Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer. The gas was first isolated from terrestrial sources in 1895 by the Bri...

Cubic Meters Cubic Feet
1,214 wordsProduction: Although Helium is one of the most common elements in the universe it is a rare gas on earth. It exists in the atmosphere in such small quantities (less than five parts per million) that recovering it from the air is uneconomical. Helium is produced as a by-product of the refining of natural gas, which is carried out on a commercial scale in the USA and Poland. In these areas natural gas contains a relatively high concentration of Helium which has accumulated as a result of radioacti...

Make You Feel Existence Of God
3,641 wordsEither God exists or He doesnt. There is no middle ground, and any attempt to remain neutral in relation to Gods existence is automatically synonymous with unbelief. It is far from a moot question, because if God does exist, then nothing else really matters; if He does not exist, then nothing really matters at all. This is kind of unfortunate for someone like myself, because Ive always lived on that nonexistent middle ground. Until now Ive never been put in a position where it was questioned. Th...

Years Ago One Hundred
1,319 wordsCount Ferdinand Von Zeppelin and his crew operated their first airship nearly one hundred years ago. Airships are big controllable balloons, also known as dirigibles. Therefore three classes of airships, rigid, nonrigid and semirigid. Rigid airships (zeppelins) use framework in the interior to keep their shape. Semirigid airships are a combination of framework and gas pressure to maintain their shape. Nonrigid airships (blimps) rely solely on air pressure to keep their form. They are all propell...

Nuclear Fusion Atomic Mass
683 wordsby I Helium Helium by I aint telling you! ! ! Pierre Janssen discovered helium in the sun in 1868. Janssen originally thought it was sodium, but Joseph Norman Lockyer noticed that it didnt correspond to the D 1 and D 2 lines of sodium. He named it the D 3 line. Lockyer said that the element D 3 was unknown on Earth. He and Edward Franklin concluded on the name Helios after the Greek god of the sun. Helium is found everywhere in space. All natural gases have at least a little bit helium in them. ...

Alpha Particles Natural Gas
520 wordsHow Helium Balloons Work There is something incredibly special about helium balloons! If you buy one at the circus or fair, you can hold its string and it will ride along above you. If you let go of the string it will fly away until you cannot see it anymore. If you have ever wondered why it flies away, the passages below can help you to figure out the mystery. Helium floatation Helium balloons work using exactly the same law of buoyancy. In this case, the helium balloon that you hold by a strin...

Solid State Lasers Funk And Wagnalls
1,294 wordspeople see Lasers When most people see a laser beam they are amazed by its unique physical properties. Laser light is so unique from other light because it is coherent; unlike ordinary light, which travels in all directions, laser light travels in a straight beam. The word laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The history of the laser is very interesting. Lasers have changed immensely since they were first invented. Before the laser was invented, Charle...

Carbon Dioxide Liquid Nitrogen
2,011 wordsPURPOSE: In this particular laboratory experiment, we are going to determine the molar mass of an unknown gas, from the gas density. We are also going to use gas density, along with the kinetic molecular theory, to explain the behavior of gas filled balloons. Finally, we are going to demonstrate the effects of temperature and pressure changes of gasses. PROCEDURE: We are using the experimental procedure as described in our laboratory manual.

Cryogenics, which is derived from the Greek word keys meaning " Icy Cold, " is the study of matter at low temperatures. However low is not even the right word for the temperatures involved in cryogenics, seeing as the highest temperature dealt with in cryogenics is 100 (C (- 148 (F) and the lowest te...

Force Of Gravity White Dwarf
2,676 wordsAlthough they are tiny in size, white dwarfs have played a great role in astronomy. These compact stars are very different from familiar objects like our sun. They also pose a seemingly endless series of puzzles, whose solutions provide new insights into many areas of physics and astronomy. To unravel a wide variety of phenomena such as cataclysmic variables (novae, dwarf novae), planetary nebulae, and some types of supernova, we have to understand white dwarfs. These stars may even hold clues t...
