two sides to every story

By changing the number of the suitable stars and lowering the number of stars that form into planets, it decreases the number of communicating civilizations in our Milky Way. By increasing the amount of suitable stars and stars that form to planets it increases the amount of possible communicating civilizations in our planet.

Black Holes

1) Jets of Gas, Accretion Disk, Event Horizon

2) Black hole is made by gravity and the gravity is so great in a black hole that once something is sucked in it can not return.

3) We observe the effects of the stars and gas that is close to one.

4) The radius of the event horizon around a black hole.

5) Einstein developed the equation that showed the speed of light, but it has been discovered that even objects moving at the speed of light can not escape a black hole.

Wilson panzias vs. Davis and bachall

i think that serendipity played a large roll in Wilson and panzias on their discovery of the CMD. Serendipity is the act of finding something on accident or finding something your were not originally looking for in the first place. I think that the Nobel prize favors the experimentalists instead of the theorists because they actually follow out their work. People that get left out is the people that accomplish something and then die before they get a chance to be recognized for their work with a Nobel prize. people that pass away cannot be accepted to win it.

The James Webb Space Telescope



a)the EM radiation range targeted by the following telescopes (there may be more than one)
The James Webb Space telescope will be sensitive to light from 0.6 to 27 micrometers in wavelength.

b) a picture generated by this telescope (or, if it is a prototype, a schematic of the design)

c) how old the light coming into the telescope is, in light years or light minutes
up to 10 billion light years

d) if the telescope uses mirrors, CCDs, lenses, or a combination of all.
uses a segmented primary mirror,also uses a beryllium mirror

Escaping the Sun

1. we didnt see a relationship between the number of layers and the amount of interactions.
2.we found the data was more accurate in the 2nd simmulation because it used a larger # of photons aand when you used larger numbers your data is bound to be more accurate
3.as energy increases the wave length decreases. as the energy increases the number of photons detected some what decreased compared to the number of photons detected when the energy was closer to 2

Steller Spectra

1. absorbtion spectra
2. close, when you are closer to things they appear to move more then objects far away form you.
3. time and brightness
4. the core
5. magnitude ia baSED on distances and how bright a star is, and intensity is how intense the light is that is given off.

Annie Cannon

When i grow up i would like to pursue either basketball or football, they both play a huge role in my life and i love to play them. I want to graduate and go to college and deside what i want to do from there on.
