  • Space Trivia Questions and Answers
    Space Trivia Questions From: conversationstartersworld.com/space-trivia-questions 1. What type of galaxy is the most common in the universe? Elliptical galaxies Galaxies are categorized as elliptical, spiral, or irregular. There are at least two trillion galaxies in the universe. Each galaxy is bound by gravity and consists of stars, dust, interstellar gas, and dark matter. They range in size from a few billion stars to one hundred trillion stars. The oldest and most distant observed galaxy is actually 32 billion light years from Earth and is located in the constellation Ursa Major. 2. What is the coldest place in the universe? (Hint: It’s a nebula.) The Boomerang Nebula The Boomerang Nebula is one degree Kelvin which is -458 degrees Fahrenheit or -272.15 degrees Celsius. It is located in the Centaurus constellation and is colder than the background temperature of deep space. 3. The hottest place in the universe is located in which constellation? The constellation Virgo The hottest place in the universe is actually a cloud of gas surrounding a swarm of galaxies that are clustered together in the Virgo constellation. The temperature there reaches 300 million degrees Celsius. The cloud is believed to have been formed as a result of colliding galaxies going at speeds of 2,500 miles per second. 4. How old is the universe in light years? (Plus or minus 1 billion light years.) 13.8 billion light years old Scientists used various methods to estimate its age. These included methods such as measuring the composition of matter and energy density in the universe.

Pointers Is Dubhe Dubhe yellowish compared to Merak? 1 Merak THE PLOUGH Figure 1: Sketch of the northern sky in autumn. © Rob Peeling, CaDAS, 2007 version 1.2 Wynyard Planetarium & Observatory PUBLIC OBSERVING – Autumn North 1. On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. Close to the horizon is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan with the handle stretching to your left. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The two right-hand stars are called the Pointers. Can you tell that the higher of the two, Dubhe is slightly yellowish compared to the lower, Merak? Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white- hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you upwards to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the left are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris.

  • From Luminous Hot Stars to Starburst Galaxies
    9780521791342pre CUP/CONT July 9, 2008 11:48 Page-i FROM LUMINOUS HOT STARS TO STARBURST GALAXIES Luminous hot stars represent the extreme upper mass end of normal stellar evolution. Before exploding as supernovae, they live out their lives of only a few million years with prodigious outputs of radiation and stellar winds which dramatically affect both their evolution and environments. A detailed introduction to the topic, this book connects the astrophysics of mas- sive stars with the extremes of galaxy evolution represented by starburst phenomena. A thorough discussion of the physical and wind parameters of massive stars is pre- sented, together with considerations of their birth, evolution, and death. Hll galaxies, their connection to starburst galaxies, and the contribution of starburst phenomena to galaxy evolution through superwinds, are explored. The book concludes with the wider cosmological implications, including Population III stars, Lyman break galaxies, and gamma-ray bursts, for each of which massive stars are believed to play a crucial role. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in astrophysics who are interested in massive stars and their role in the evolution of galaxies. Peter S.

  • 1. Which of the Following Statements Is Incorrect Concerning Sidereal Days and Solar Days?
    1. Which of the following statements is incorrect concerning sidereal days and solar days? A. One sidereal day is defined as the time taken for the Earth to make one complete rotation on its axis B. One sidereal day is 3.9 minutes longer than one solar day C. The time difference between one sidereal day and one solar day accounts for the daily slight shift in the position of stars D. The time difference between one sidereal day and one solar day is due to the simultaneous rotation of the Earth about its axis and the revolution of Earth around the Sun 2. The Earth’s aphelion is the position of the Earth on its orbit that is most distant from the Sun. At which time of the year is the Earth furthest from the Sun? A. 3 January B. 21 June C. 3 July D. 21 December 3. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding solar eclipses? A. During a total solar eclipse, the corona of the Sun becomes visible. B. If the umbra region of the eclipse does not reach the Earth, an annular eclipse will be seen C. A solar eclipse track on Earth runs from the west to the east D. An eclipse that occurred in December 4, 2002 will be seen again in December 14, 2018, in accordance with the Saros cycle 4. The Milankovitch cycles concern about the movement of Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. These cycles include the Earth’s orbit eccentricity, its precession period and its obliquity.
