831 wordsHadar, also known as Beta Centauri, is the 10th brightest stars (11th as viewed from Earth). Hadar is a blue-white super giant in the constellation Centaurus (Cen). In about 4,000 years, the motion of Alpha Centauri, who's proper name is Rigel Kentaurus, will carry it close enough to Hadar that they will appear to be a magnificent double star. Because of the distance away from Earth that Alpha and Beta Centauri are (approximately 90 parsecs), they will be an optical double. As they sit today, th...

Stars Magnitudes The Magnitude Scale
890 wordsStars Magnitudes The magnitude scale was invented by an ancient Greek astronomer named Hipparchus in about 150 BC He ranked the stars he could see in terms of their brightness, with 1 representing the brightest down to 6 representing the faintest.

130 Light Years Of Earth
417 wordsCould an exploding star have been responsible for the death of the dinosaurs? This idea has become popular again as an explanation for the disappearance of the dinosaurs. An exploding star can blast material enormous distances into space. If this material reached Earth's atmosphere, changes may have occurred that were harmful to life. We call an exploding star a supernova. Nova is the Latin word for new, and in ancient times, when an exploding star was observed, people often thought a new star w...

Support for this claim is present in the following: (a) Norton's skillful exploration of the tragic hero in the work, (b) the Constructivist views of Star ...

Reader Of The Constant Star The Poem
579 wordsPoems Contrasted "Bright Star" and "Choose Something Like a Star" are two poems very different in form and theme. The theme in "Bright Star" is that when in love nothing is more beautiful than your lover. While the theme of "Choose Something Like a Star" is that humans need to be individuals. However these two poems do have a few things such as subject and apostrophe, in common. In the poem "Bright Star" by John Keats the author uses apostrophe when speaking to the star. He addresses the star as...

Kobe Bryant
389 wordsBasketball seems to be a relatively fun sport played and watched by many. It is thought of as a fairly clean game. However, there is also a dark side to the sport, full of false accusations and half truths. An example of this, is the belief that the Los Angeles Lakers star, Kobe Bryant, has sexually assaulted a 19 year old female. I find this to be a lie. First of all, Kobe Bryant is a young and famous basketball star that can most likely get almost any girl he wants. Therefore he would not need...

The two backups for the man with large shoes to fill proved to the world that they have potential almost as great as Clarett's. By the way, boondock saints kick...
