In the star schema design, the dimension tables are demoralized to reduce the number of JOINs necessary in queries on the fact table, while in the snowflake schema the dimension tables are normalized to reduce data duplication and allow reuse of those tables with other fact tables. At a physical level, data warehouses tend to be heavily

    1652 Words  | 4 Pages

    the principles that a star that has an orbiting planet will experience a gravitational force from the planet and hence move in its own small orbit in response. This will result in changes in the speed of the star as it moves towards and away from the observer i.e Earth and this shall be seen as variations in the radial velocity of the star with respect to the Earth. The radial velocity of the star can be worked out from the shifting of spectral lines in spectra of the star due to the Doppler effect

    Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram or, the H-R Diagram for short, is a graph which plots stars according to their temperature and absolute magnitude. This graph reveals a pattern, which in fact is quite interesting. The H-R Diagram is named for the two astronomers, Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Russell, who discovered this pattern of stars. These two astronomers independently discovered that comparing magnitudes and spectral class (color) of stars yielded a lot of information about them. One key purpose of the H-R diagram

    Space: The Final Frontier Astronomy is a word derived from Greek; it comes from the merging of two words, the first being ‘star’ and the second being ‘law.’ Like the name suggests, astronomy is the study of stars, in addition to countless other aspects of space and the universe in general. Being such a broad subject, there are of course many different branches of astronomy. These include general astrophysics, theoretical astrophysics, astrobiology, physical cosmology, galactic astronomy… you get

  • The Birth of a Star

    574 Words  | 2 Pages

    A star is a self-radiant divine body consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity. The birth of a star begins inside a molecular cloud. Stars form inside these somewhat dense concentrations of interstellar gas and dust. The process of star formation has long been a mystery because of viewing limitations. Large amounts of small solid particles blocked our view of the stars which are beyond the molecular cloud. Infrared technology now provides some insight on how a star is formed
