  • Persuasive Essay On Space Exploration

    1243 Words  | 5 Pages

    or not... Space. What exactly is space, such a mystery. Full of darkness, planets, marvelous, beautiful, and intriguing. Space is a vast place which few have explored. So why, why do we explore? What’s the point? Space is a vast empty place that has been explored by few. Yet humans have been prioritizing this issue for years now and yet we have not found a place capable of being inhabited by humans. So why do humans continue this knowing that it would take years and years to even reach the planet

    All that could be seen was the shadowy, silent, and obscuring abyss which stretched across the ends of the eye. Spherical objects, planets and stars, are the only lights here to stand against it. There, a speck could be seen in the distance, an object that was almost invisible, it was not like the other things out here in this abyss. It hovered near a midnight blue planet that contrasted with multiple smokey white swirls that was contained within. The stars nearby that shone to show the way to the

  • Summary Of Death By Black Hole By Neil Degrasse Tysons

    1301 Words  | 6 Pages

    In Neil Degrasse Tysons book, “Death by Black Hole”, he says states something quite intriguing. “Without a doubt, the most spectacular way to die in space is to fall into a black hole. Where else in the universe can you lose your life by being ripped apart atom by atom?” Black holes are regions of space (and of space) where the gravity is so high that the fabric of space and time has basically curved in or collapsed on itself. The very first black hole found was Cygnus X-1 that is roughly 6000 light

  • Black Holes Argumentative Essay

    677 Words  | 3 Pages

    Black holes are areas in which huge amounts of mass are compressed together, creating a gravitational field so strong that when it crosses the black hole, not even light can escape. They are the final stage for stars 10-15 times as massive as our Sun, because after they explode into a supernova, the gravity causes them to collapse into themselves. They shrink and compress mass until the former star’s volume is at 0. When this happens, they become infinitely dense and the star’s own light becomes

  • How To Lack Of Direct Evidence For The Formation Of Supermassive Black Holes

    Aaron Kramer Mrs. Pietrantonio English 12 - 2nd hour 28 October 2015 Formation of Supermassive Black Holes Density so great that it is one dimensional, not even light can escape its grasp. Black holes are not vacuums, they have no suction. Black holes have the strongest gravitational force in the universe. Due to the strength of the gravity, any particle with mass would have to travel faster than the speed of light to escape its grasp. Because of this effect, we are unable to directly observe a black

  • Mass Functions Of Supermassive Black Holes Across Cosmic Time

    720 Words  | 3 Pages

    The article I picked was Advances in Astronomy volume 2012. The authors are Brandon C. Kelly and Andrea Merloni. The article was “Mass Functions of Supermassive Black Holes Across Cosmic time.” This journal explains the growth of the supermassive black holes and predicting mass function. The mass functions have some pros and cons and what the future may have on supermassive black holes with mass function. How fast something needs to move to escape gravity of something else. Two things that affect

  • Definition Essay: What Is A Black Hole?

    840 Words  | 4 Pages

    You may be asking yourself what is this thing that many astronomers (unlike myself) call a “Black Hole” (the weird thing pictured above), well I’m here to help you out dear reader. A Black Hole is simply (or maybe not simply) a region in space where matter has collapsed into infinite density. As a result of this spacetime experiences an extreme curvature. Because of this black hole the gravitational field of that black hole becomes so intense that light or really anything else cannot escape from

  • Radius Of A Circle Research Paper

    Smiley, Gregory College Algebra- Math 1111- SO Finding the center and radius of a circle So you want to know what is a radius, a radius is a straight line from the center of a cirlce to the circumference of a circle. So if you have more than one it would be referenced as radii also remember that all radii in a cirlce willl always be the same length. The circumference is on the outside of a perimeter of a cirlce. A radius can be a line from any point on the circumferecne to the center of the cirlce

    Holistic Assessment- Mr. Eric (student’s spouse) Performing a thorough health assessment lays the foundation for any health provider to be able to provide effective and efficient care to patients. When performing a health assessment this allows the health provider an insight as to how to diagnose a patient, plan how to take care of patient, implementing interventions and evaluation the outcome of the nursing process in providing patient care. When a nurse performs a holistic assessment, it is simply

    together in his theory as 'space-time'. Any object distorts the fabric of space-time and the bigger it is, the greater the effect. The Schwarzschild radius is the radius of the event horizon surrounding a non-rotating black hole. Any object with a physical radius smaller than its Schwarzschild radius will be a black hole. This quantity was first derived by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916 as Rs= 2GM/c2(squared). A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The

    I have been interested in celestial objects for all my life. It was like love at first sight. People had their favorite movie 's posters on their walls when I had solar system and our place in universe. This curiosity guided me to buy books about astronomy and make researches about it. Even though I knew most of their properties there was something missing; a telescope to observe them. One day while I was watching a documentary about astronomy they showed a photo of a Galilean telescope that was

    the Ergosphere. Then, The disk composed of stellar material that is spiraling towards that black hole is called the Acceleration Disk. Thirdly, we have the Event Horizon, this is the point of no return. Any object, even light, that is within this radius cannot escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. Finally, we have the Singularity, this is the area of the black hole where the mass of the black hole has been compressed down to nearly zero volume. This results in the singularity having zero
