second episode, a much slower infall of primordial gas gives rise to the disk with the gas accumulating faster in the inner than in the outer regions. (Chiappini et al, 2001). In this scenario, the formation of the halo and disk are almost completely dissociated although some halo gas falls into the disk. This mechanism for disk formation is known as “inside-out II scenario, and it is quite successful in reproducing the main features of the Milky Way (CMG97) as well as of external galaxies especially

expansion of the universe which started at the big bang. We can precisely calculate the rate at which the universe is expanding currently, and how fast it has expanded in the past. From this we get the theoretical mass of the universe. This figure falls far short of the visible mass of the universe, which consists of stars, planets, and hot gas. This is how scientists are able to prove that we can only see about 5% of our universe. We can also prove that dark matter exists in galaxies by examining

"I wanna fly can you take me far away, give me a star to reach for, tell me what it takes and I'll go so high. I'll go so high my feet
When we have reached this point, it is a decision of what we do next. Do we stumble and fall, or continue to find the will to overcome? Doty acknowledges burdens may be too heavy to handle alone. He recommends attaining guidance, and direction from those around us; “who can say who’s added his heat to the nimbus of our intent” (line 20)
want to rush though a game, take my time, or even ----. Rushing through a video game is the bull’s signature move. No thinking or skills required, just strength, power, and brute force. Halo is a prime example of this. With its simple straight forward storyline, no strategies or planning are required. “Kill, reach the check point, and move on” are the only thoughts that come to pass. Giving the payer a simple task, and an array of weapons and powers to do so, make finishing this game a breeze. For
The growth of the indie game sector has enabled smaller developers to produce work on a budget than AAA titles and still reach an audience. Recent games such as Undertale (2015) and Stardew Valley (2016) can find major success online, despite being developed by only a few people. This is a result of digital marketplaces such as Valve’s Steam platform, which encourages the
In both literature and real world there is an aspect that humankind has been afraid of, this aspect is death. Man and woman have this instinct to survive and to reach the goal of survival they will have to go to any extent to get there.

Earth, except at the poles, would be in shadow (night) half the time and in sunlight (day) half the time. Because Earth’s axis of rotation is tilted from the perpendicular, Earth experiences seasons. The spring equinox occurs about March 21 and the fall equinox occurs about September 22 and during this time the length of day and night is equal. The summer solstice occurs about June 21 and the winter solstice occurs about December 21. The North Pole is tilted toward the Sun during the summer solstice

When the stars died, they left their memory with her. Look at the young woman as she traces her dull eyes along the endless space. Vertigo lays a veil upon her expression. Chalk dusts the sky and its particles whirl into gentle rings. Fine shards of illumination glimmer from the distending rift overhead. The night lights wink upon her while bursting out as brilliant white. Matter dissolves pale over the ink plane. Sweeps of silver fabric unlace above the drift. The mousy film on the horizon begins

Within these statuses lie stories of power struggles, rebellion, the rising and falling of those with influence, and the interconnection between a being with power and the people under his ruling. Through the visual works catered to this subject, we will discuss themes such as the power of immortalization
