Reading This Article Neutron Stars
569 words
In November of 1999 an article about cosmic
cataclysms appeared in Time magazine. A cosmic
cataclysm is also known as a gamma-ray burst.
These gamma bursts cant be seen with the naked eye
and they release more energy than our sun releases
in its whole lifetime. As of now, no one is really
sure whats causing these large blasts. Hopefully
this will change as astrophysicists meet to
discuss the blasts and as satellites are launched
into space to capture the phenomenon. Even though
no one is positiv...

Galaxy Its Spiral Shape Galaxy Its Spiral Galaxies
1,100 words
When 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...

The Case For The Existence of God by John Doe, Ph.
D. Introduction Either God exists or He doesn't.
There is no middle ground. Any attempt to remain
neutral in relation to God's existence is
automatically synonymous with unbelief. It is far
from a "moot" question, for if God does exist,
then nothing else really matters; if He does not
exist, then nothing really matters at all. If He
does exist, then there is an eternal heaven to be
gained (Hebrews 11: 16) and an eternal Hell to be
avoided (Revel...

Speed Of Light Time Of Day
1,333 words
Our view of the sky at night is possible because
of the emission and reflection of light. 'Light'
is the better-known term for the electromagnetic
spectrum, which includes waves in the visible,
ultra-violet, infra-red, microwave, radio, X-ray
and gamma-ray regions. The scale of the spectrum
is so large that no region is distinct, several
overlap each other. Each of these regions in the
electromagnetic spectrum represent transverse
waves, travelling as electrical and magnetic
fields which interac...

Nuclear Fusion White Dwarf

The 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...

Flag Of The United States President Eisenhower
329 words
No one knows with absolute certainty who designed
the first stars and stripes or who made it.
Congressman Francis Hopkinson seems most likely to
have designed it, and few historians believe that
Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress, made the
first one. Until the Executive Order of June 24,
1912, neither the order of the stars nor the
proportions of the flag was prescribed.
Consequently, flags dating before this period
sometimes show unusual arrangements of the stars
and odd proportions, these f...

18 Th Century Speed Of Light

Black Holes Every day we look into the night sky,
wondering and dreaming what lies beyond our
galaxy. Within our galaxy alone, there are
millions upon millions of stars. This may be why
it interest us to learn about all that we cannot
see. Humans have known the existence of stars
since they have had eyes, and see them as white
glowing specks in the sky. The mystery lies beyond
the white glowing specks we see but, in the things
we cannot see in the night sky such as black
holes. Before I begin to...

Earths Beyond Earth: The Search for Other Worlds
In early 1990, the first extrasolar planet was
detected, surprising everyone by its strangeness.
More planets have now been discovered outside our
solar system than in it. These planets present
many great mysteries to the astronomical world.
Extrasolar planets are planets that exist outside
our solar system; they are orbiting a star other
than our Sun. So far, eighteen have been found,
all of them defying well-established theories

Billion Years Ago Type 1

There is one thing even more vital to science than
intelligent methods; and that is, the sincere
desire to find out the truth, whatever it may be.
-Charles Sanders Pierce When it comes to science,
there are many questions and few answers. Finding
those few answers is what makes science
interesting. One big question is science is
whether or not the Universe is expanding. By
observing and researching supernovas, one can
decide that the Universe is expanding. The word
nova means new star (Ferris 59...

Hubble Space Telescope Star Formation

The Orion Nebula contains one of the brightest
star clusters in the night sky. With a magnitude
of 4, this nebula is easily visible from the
Northern Hemisphere during the winter months. It
is surprising, therefore, that this region was not
documented until 1610 by a French lawyer named
Nicholas-Claude Far de Peiresc. On March 4, 1769,
Charles Messier inducted the Orion Nebula, M 42,
into his list of stellar objects. Then, in 1771,
Messier released his list of objects for its first
publication i...

Star Spangled Banner War Of 1812

that represent the better things we love most
about our country. The Star Spangled Banner, Uncle
Sam, The Pledge of Allegiance, the American Flag
and the Statue of Liberty, to name just a few.
These symbols of democracy each have a story of
their own. The Star Spangled Banner is our
national anthem. It was originally a poem written
by Francis Scott Key, a Georgetown lawyer, during
the War of 1812. After an attack on Washington,

Albert Einsteins theory Relativity Relativity
Albert Einsteins theory of relativity has caused
major revolutions in physics and astronomy during
the 20 th century. It introduced to science the
concept of relativity the notion that there is no
absolute motion in the universe, only relative
motion thus superseding the 200 -year-old theory
of mechanics of Isaac Newton. Einstein showed that
we reside not in the flat, Euclidean space and
uniform, absolute time of everyday experience, but

Brightest Star Light Years
1,463 words
The constellation Serpens is very unique in many
different ways. The most noticeable is that it
lays in two parts; Serpens Caput which is the head
of the serpent and Serpens Cauda, the tail of the
serpent. These two separate constellations are
joined to form one of the largest constellations
in the sky. Serpens is also very unique because it
is joined by another constellation, Ophiuchus.
Ophiuchus is a man holding onto the serpent. These
two constellations appear right next to the Milky
Way caus...
