Astronomy ⁽³¹⁾

If you have ever wondered about Mars, we talk a lot about its properties and what makes it wonderful in this section.

To continue my planet series, this guide is on Venus, the Rocky Planet!

This is my short guide to Mercury. In it, I discuss its major attributes and origin.

This brief document will be over dark matter in the universe and why there are issues with the calculated mass of galaxies.

Space debris results from the various asteroid belts in our galaxy and the collisions within that send large objects in all different directions.

The Earth supports life because it is the right distance from the Sun and has several processes that are perfectly balanced so that life thrives.

The telescope is our most important tool in Astronomy and is used to observe faraway celestial objects and electromagnetic radiation.

Learning Astronomy is a constant process. That is what makes it so interesting. In this article, Introduction to the solar system, I talk about why it is interesting and how many parts of it were formed.

In this article I wanted to talk about how and why celestial bodies move in our solar system.

This is going to be an article about how to get started in Astronomy. I know there are multiple ways, but this will be from my experience.

Galaxies are the foundations of the universe and we have identified millions
of them. In this chapter I want to mention and talk about the most defining
features.

When we look up at a night sky, what do we see? With just our eyes we probably
see a few thousand objects of varying intensity. They are mostly stars but there
are a few planets , comets, and meteors occasionally too. This is just our
galaxy. Our galaxy is a very small portion of the universe. 

Neutron stars have some of the most bizarre properties in the universe. A lot of massive stars will end up exploding and turning into these fascinating objects.

Stars explode all the time. They do so for a few different reasons. The type of explosions and aftereffects depend on the characteristics of the original star. As you can imagine, there are multiple types of explosions. There are different types of explosions because there are so many different types of stars.

Stars live and die in time frames longer than mortals can imagine. In this article, I am going to talk about what happens during the life of a star. From its early beginnings until it runs out of fuel, it will be an interesting journey.

These are my notes and worked examples on the Basics of Astronomy.

The stars in our universe vary greatly. They are all different sizes and colors. Stars also have a lot of common attributes too though. Instead of talking about how they are unique, I will discuss how they are similar today.Read on if you are interested in finding out more about these incredible objects.

In this paper I want to describe how the sun works. I will also comment about its properties and how it affects us here on Earth with its radiation. Our Sun is a star and is the closest one to us by far. That gives us the opportunity to study it more closely than any other star.

Exoplanets are planets that are beyond our solar system. They have been known for a hundred years or more. They are really hard to study directly. We can still learn a lot from them though. In fact, that is why we study them. Learning about exoplanets will help us learn about the formation of our own Earth and corresponding solar system. Astronomers monitor young planets to see what Earth might have been like in its early stages. In this article I want to talk about what is known about exoplanets and how they are formed. This will obviously lead into solar system formation which is pretty interesting stuff.

Introduction

There is a lot of space debris in our galaxy. It can be large or small. Space debris can be Asteroids, Comets, Meteors, or even dust. In this article I talk about all of these objects and their characteristics. I also discuss topics such as Asteroids getting close to Earth and the once-planet Pluto.

The planets of our solar system are as varied as is life on on our planet. We know that because Astronomers are constantly learning about our solar system. There is still so much to learn and it will be fun to try and keep up. This is an introduction to the planets of our solar system and if you have a burning desire to learn about space and everything inside it then keep reading and we can begin our journey.

The Moon has been up there in the sky looking back at us for as long as there has been a sky. Where did it come from? Why do we see only one side continually? The Moon is mysterious and I think we can all agree on that. There are many unanswered questions and the fact remains that many of them we just don't know. In this article I will try to answer some of these more common questions in ways that make sense.

The solar system is very interesting. There are countless objects wandering around out there. We have learned much from even the smallest things like dust in space. The Solar System is a very complicated and busy place. To learn we measure everything we can and then compare constantly. That is the fun of it to me. I love looking at data and seeing how objects are different and all the ways in which they are the same.

How telescopes are used in modern Astronomy is changing every decade. We used to only use them to see objects with normal light. Now we can leverage our technology gains to see different wavelengths of light in the universe. This has opened up our studies with a lot more data than we previously had. This article talks about the different fields and categories of astronomy and what they mean.

Spectroscopy is one of the core techniques for understanding distant stars. Thanks to the fundamentals of light and how it behaves, we can collect the radiation from objects and infer many details from them.

If you love Astronomy, then looking at the sky is a regular task for you. Today, I would like to talk about why we see what we do. 

When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky I always loved going out at night and seeing the sky. My home was very unpopulated and so had very little light pollution. The nearest town of 3 thousand people was about 15 miles away. So it was an incredible place to dream about what may lie among the stars. That was the start of my love for science, astronomy, and physics.

I have carried this with me my whole life and always wanting to learn more because I loved it. I have always wanted to write about it as a result. This is a short guide to the universe and includes the beginning topics. From here most of the advanced concepts come from these ideas and are developed more fully.

What are Star Classifications

Have you ever wondered about star classifications ? Stars are classified based on their temperature, but started out being based on only their spectra. This classification process started in the 1890s by Edward Pickering at Harvard and was finished in 1901 by Annie Cannon, who worked for Pickering.
