Erics red dwarf paper:
Red dwarfs are interesting they are actually the most common stars in the universe how relevant. Red dwarfs live for trillions of years.In fact, i’ve heard that a red dwarf has lived longer than the universe I mean wow how is that possible. I know how hot a red dwarf is exactly, 6,380Fahrenheit (3,500 degrees Celsius) and it is 7.5% to 50% the mass of the sun. How do red dwarfs form? They form like most stars a cloud of dust and gas is formed and starts rotating by the gravitational pull, and when material clumps at the center, and when it reaches the critical temperature fusion begins. What are two names of red dwarfs? 1.proxima centauri.2.Barnard’s Star. What percentage of the stars are red dwarfs? They say about up to 70

And the one to the right is obviously a red dwarf . Enough of these pictures let’s move onto the facts.Did you know that 60% of red dwarfs have lived for trillions of years like for example off the top of my head 14 trillion years. Did you know that a red dwarf is about ¾ as hot as the sun. I like studying about red dwarfs because it makes me feel good you know because my dad knows probably more about space than any of your dad’s ever knew so i'm pretty happy I can at least share some facts to my dad, make him proud. I think I just hit my sad moment, because when I hit my sad moment I cry and cry and so on.I know alot about red dwarfs red dwarfs and I hope that by the time you are done reading this that you learned as much as I did at first when I started studying red dwarfs. I loved space so much when I was about 2 that I wanted to be an astronomer also,because my dad wanted me to be an astronomer,but now I want to be a musician. Hold on a sec I think I’m shifting off track anyways that’s my sad story. So another fact is that the other 40% of the red dwarf population have lived only for 10 trillion years. And did you know that some of the red dwarf population are as big as earth.
Four weeks after space-walking shuttle Endeavour astronauts repaired the Hubble Space Telescope in December 1993, an ecstatic Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski waved a Hubble picture of the core of the spiral galaxy M100 at her naysaying colleagues. Today, Mikulski could host a Capitol Hill star party: The orbiting telescope has generated more than 100,000 photos of celestial objects, including a cemetery of dying stars, elephant trunks of dust and hydrogen gas twisting in the Eagle Nebula, jovian storms and aurorae, the rocky rings of Saturn and the colossal supernova smoke rings blown from an exploded star, to list a few. Hubble's pictures do double duty not only as congressional lobbying props, but also as screen savers, T-shirt prints, calendar photos, a background for the "Babylon 5" science fiction TV series and even planet trading cards to be provided soon to schoolchildren.
A neutron star, at first glance, may seem like the smallest stellar remnant of them all, but with deeper inspection you will be baffled to know that is it the most massive of all the stellar remnants. This neutron star and it’s many wonders, including contrasts, and levels of understanding is a great image for the cover to represent the paradox and counter intuitive nature of Sharon Olds poems in The Gold Cell; the poem “Summer Solstice” is a great representation of similarity with neutrons stars.
There is a cultural assumption that there are many alien civilizations in the universe. However, what do we really know about extraterrestrial life? With recent findings of water on Mars and the discovery of Trappist-1, there could be hope for extraterrestrial life out in the universe. Even though the water on Mars is frozen under the polar ice caps and Trappist-1 could be far from finding any alien life, there are still many articles supporting the research and looking forward to finding additional news. In the article “Could the TRAPPSIT-1 worlds harbor alien life?’ written by Liz Fuller-Wright, she reports the announcement of astronomers that they found a miniature solar system of seven Earth-sized planets. Furthermore, the argument is effective towards bright individuals because it makes one think about what it will be if there was actually life outside of Earth.
Brown dwarfs are objects in space that sit between the lines of being a star and a planet. This object is dim and hard to distinguish from low mass stars at the early stages of the dwarf’s life. They are often called failed stars because they start their life the same way as regular stars. However, in some stage, they just didn’t have enough mass gathered to generate the fusion-powered energy of a star. Scientists are certain that brown dwarfs are the missing link between stars and planets but the formations of dwarfs are still a mystery.
It’s a white giant and has a temperature of 7700 Kelvin. It’s a type A star that is 8.5 times brighter than the sun. It is most likely to be in the last stage of ordinary star-type life. Scientists are saying the sun’s older twin is found in the middle of Capricorn. Studying this star will help them see how the Earth’s sun will develop.
Literature and astronomy are two of the most significant topics that contributed major parts to the development of the modern worldview. In like manner, historians say that the view of the world today has a foundation that started in the Renaissance; however previously the people had shifted from a Medieval Era. In addition, Ptolemy, Copernicus and Shakespeare bestowed the Medieval and Renaissance Eras with their enlightening ideas and attainments. The works of these intellectuals are still used and worshipped in today's society.
Stars are born and reborn from an explosion of a previous star. The particles and helium are brought together the same way the last star was born. Throughout the life of a star, it manages to avoid collapsing. The gravitational pull from the core of the star has to equal the gravitational pull of the gasses, which form a type of orbit. When this equality is broken, the star can go into several different stages. Some stars that are at least thirty times larger than our sun can form black holes and other kinds of stars.
A white dwarf uses electron degeneracy pressure to support itself. It is because of the electron degeneracy pressure that white dwarfs have a small size relative to other types of stars.

Human fascination with the stars is as ancient as Babylonians and has been suggested to be older than Stonehenge. From “be fruitful and multiply” to “live long and prosper,” the instinct to protect and propagate the species has manifested in religion, art, and the imaginations of countless individuals. As human understanding of space treks out of the fantastical and into the scientific, the realities of traveling through and living in space are becoming clearer. Exploring, investigating, and living in space pose an expansive series of problems. However, the solutions to the problems faced by mankind's desire to reach beyond the horizon, through the night sky, and into the stars are solutions that will help in all areas of life on Earth.
Stars are born in the interstellar clouds of gas and dust called nebulae that are primarily found in the spiral arms of galaxies. These clouds are composed mainly of hydrogen gas but also contain carbon, oxygen and various other elements, but we will see that the carbon and oxygen play a crucial role in star formation so they get special mention. A nebula by itself is not enough to form a star however, and it requires the assistance of some outside force. A close passing star or a shock wave from a supernova or some other event can have just the needed effect. It is the same idea as having a number of marbles on a trampoline and then rolling a larger ball through the middle of them or around the edges. The marbles will conglomerate around the path of the ball, and as more marbles clump together, still more will be attracted. This is essentially what happens during the formation of a star (Stellar Birth, 2004).
A star will blow up with the help of gravitational collapses. When a star explodes from nuclear fusion it is because so much mass has built up within its core and it cannot hold the weight. Neutrons are the only things in nature that can stop a core implosion. When a white dwarf suffers a supernova, the energy comes from the runaway fusion of carbon and oxygen in the core.
Located in the southern hemisphere, it was included in Ptolemy's 48 constellations in the second century, and is recognised among the 88 today. It contains 8 main stars and has 32 stars with Bayer/Flamsteed designations. These unseen stars come from a cluster known as M41 which is about 2,300 light years away. Even a small telescope will reveal the swarm of several thousand stars just under Sirius. Canis Major's second-brightest star is Adhara, placed within the Dogs leg. Adhara is 425 light years away, and were it to be the same distance from the Earth as Sirius, it would shine 200 times brighter. Also, if our eyes were tuned to Ultraviolet light, Adhara would outshine every other star in the sky due to it emitting more UV rays than visible
One thing us as humans have never been able to fully understand is astronomy. Always having an unexplained mystery, astronomy also has served as a way to keep time and predict the future. The word “astronomy” is defined as the study of heavenly bodies, meaning anything in the sky such as stars, galaxies, comets, planets, nebulae, and so on. Many people, if not everyone, is amazed by the night sky on a clear, moonless night.
The education system in India is based on forced learning that kills student’s spirit and zest of learning. In the film “Like Stars on Earth,” we look specifically at the draw backed role played by parents and teacher in Indian education system. We follow the story of a dyslexic Indian boy, Ishaan, who always had trouble coping with his studies, but in the end with the help of an understanding teacher he is able to study normally and catch up with his peers. We will analyze this film using the concepts from Practices of Looking to explain our thesis. Eddie will cover the concepts of encoding and the ideology surrounding Indian education; Kiranjot Singh will explain the concepts of punctum, negotiated reading and producer’s intended meaning;
