chapters 1-7 of Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy was impossible. I had to read more. I am not done with the book yet though. I felt like I was reading an anime. I could picture the scene of what I was reading so clearly that it felt like my body was there. I loved the way they represented what happened to Arthur on planet earth in a gross way where the house to be demolished for a pathway was the earth in the galactic space. I loved the idea of having a fancy galaxy with a president who has two heads and

Properties of Clusters of Galaxies Monday (4/15/2013) Procedure For this experiment‚ a photograph of the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies will be needed to observe. The photograph will be sectioned into specific areas with coordinates like a map. Locate the area and identify the galaxies. Classify the galaxies as elliptical‚ spiral‚ or irregular. An elliptical galaxy will appear solid with not real defined “arms” or spirals coming from the center. An elliptical galaxy can be further classified E0

“Beyond the Milky Way” “The History of the Hubble Telescope” By: Steven Radziul DeVry University Since the Age of Man and Woman‚ We have been staring up into the sky‚ wondering clearly what is out there. The stars and planets have always been our close neighbors‚ from navigation‚ to philosophy and even religion‚ the stars and planets have always been our friend. Man has stood to the highest peak staring out into the sky‚ wondering clearly to see what is out there. He has invented instruments

was his discovery of galaxies outside of the Milky Way‚ the expanding universe‚ and overseeing the construction of the Hale Telescope. Because of his major contributions to the study of Astronomy‚ the Hubble Space Telescope was named after him in 1990. One of Hubble’s first discoveries was that there are other Galaxies outside of our Galaxy‚ the Milky Way. In the 1920s‚ the small‚ diffuse patches in the sky were termed nebulae‚ and were thought to exist within the Milky Way. While examining images

If an inhabitant of the host galaxy of that quasar looked at the Milky Way at the same time we looked at their galaxy‚ what kind of object might they see? Explain. How would the color of light they observe be different than the color of light emitted by the Milky Way? Explain. 2. What is Hubble’s Law and how can it tell us the distance to a galaxy? Hubble’s Law contains a constant (labeled H‚ the slope of a line). How is the value of
