Blogging for Vanderbilt Astronomy class! For my 2018 class.
In looking at what planets can sustain life, one requirement always includes liquid water. Which is the region surrounding a star capable of supporting liquid water. But are we limiting ourselves too much in our searches? What if life was capable of developing without this basic requirement? A team of researchers.
The stellar classification classifies stars based on their spectral characteristics. When passing through a prism, light from a star will be split into a spectrum displaying rainbow of colors interspersed with absorption lines. The strength of each line indicates the abundance of a specific ion. The abundance of different ions varies with the temperature of the photosphere. The classification of a star is giving an estimated value of the temperature of photosphere.

Seeking to enrich my understanding of the cosmos. This newly received perspective was a humbling and elucidating experience. I also was aware the moon was the cause of the tides, but had no idea specifically how it created them.
What Will We Find? About alien abductions that explain what is going on with a person after they have possibly been abducted and maybe this has already happened to some of us we just have no idea. What do you think of when you hear the word alien? What do you think they look like? I immediately think of this movie. And I think, they probably look just like us.
The astronomer I choose is Galileo Galilei. Galileo was extremely important to astronomy for numerous reasons, but one of them is through his improvements to the telescope. Another reason he is extremely important to astronomy is through his observations with the telescope. Known as father of modern observational astronomy. The Battle of Ponts-the-Ce,.

A Throwback to ASTR 201. From this class, I learned about many things that I never knew about that. I learned about the formation of our solar system and many others. I learned about each planet specifically and what makes each one unique and bizarre in their own ways. Has NASA Discovered the SECRET to Interstellar Travel? Lunar Eclipse Creates an Apocalyptic View.
The Scope of the Universe. Asymp; Leave a comment. Sending Chuck Berry to Space. However, in the case that Voyager 1 does meet aliens in its journey out of the solar system, the spacecraft is prepared. The current location of Voyager 1, mapped by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Though Voyager 1 may soon fall outside the rang.
