61: Theodore Seuss Geisel, Better
... star-bellied, the latter considering themselves superior to the former." (Morite 70) Because of this seemingly trivial physical difference, these two groups do not get along. Because they are looked down upon, the starless Sneetches stars hire someone to place stars upon their bellies. As a result, the other group of Sneetches has their stars removed. Because of all the confusion, none of the Sneetches know who belongs to what group. By the end of the story these two groups come to the conclusion that, "stars or no stars, ...
62: Big Bang
... were observed in our own Sun. Meanwhile, Kirchhoff and Bunsen had successfully categorized the spectrum lines of many elements including those of hydrogen, sodium and magnesium. Huggins found these same spectrum lines in the distant stars he had observed and correctly predicted that some of the same elements that Kirchhoff and Bunsen were cataloging were emanating from these celestial bodies (Parker). Christian Doppler of Austria discovered twenty years earlier that the ... During the 1890's the Lick Observatory in California began to track and chart the radial velocity (which is actually the velocity at which the line of sight that the star is observed) of many stars, as well as gaseous and planetary nebulae. Astronomers at Lick calculated the measurements of 400 stars including their radial speed and velocity. In 1910 Vesto Slipher measured the velocity of the Andromeda Nebula at 300 km per second, thirty times greater than previously observed. Four years later, Slipher had confirmed ...
63: What Does Shakespeare Have To
... bright'. This comparison of Juliet to shining light in the darkness is carried through into the balcony scene where we hear Romeo tell us that 'Juliet is the sun' and that she would 'shame those stars'. Shakespeare begins to introduce a theme of the stars and heaven into Romeo's language. By doing this he is perhaps trying to express the awe Romeo feels for Juliet as her 'beauty is too rich for use'. So his language begins to reflect ... fate on moe days doth depend'. The idea of fate is prominent throughout the play, in the opening chorus Shakespeare called the two lovers 'star-crossed' and many of the characters make references to the stars. Many of the characters, in particular Romeo, have premonitions starting with Romeo declaring his 'mind misgives' and he can see 'some consequence yet hanging in the stars' before attending Lord Capulets feast. Despite characters ...
64: Technology Has Influenced Our
... evidence that we live in a constantly evolving universe. This was the first observational analysis to suggest an initial starting point to the universe. He used a ground-based telescope to investigate the masses of stars called nebulae to help with proving his theories. In the twenties some believed that we were all part of one huge galaxy and still others believed that the possibility of a whole world of galaxies ... COBE satellite. The satellite was to look for particulars of the cosmic background radiation. At this point things took a turn toward the confusing. The radiation appeared too smooth to have been the source of stars or galaxies. Unless there were some deviations in the original temperatures in outer space there would have been no rationality for matter to cluster and create the stars. Again, the scientific community advanced its technologic abilities in 1992. George Smoot and others proclaimed they had found temperature variations in the radiation data. Many assumed that the big bang theory had been proved. ...
65: Into the Depths of A Black Hole
... Event Horizon until it has spun into the centre where it is concentrated within the core adding to the mass. Such spinning black holes are known as Kerr Black Holes. Most black holes orbit around stars due to the fact that they once were a star, and this may cause some problems for the neighbouring stars. If a black hole gets powerful enough it may actually pull a star into it and disrupt the orbit of many other stars. The black hole could then grow even stronger (from the star's mass) as to possibly absorb another. When a black hole absorbs a star, the star is first pulled into the Ergosphere, which ...

67: Interstellar Travel: Sooner or Later?
... Recently on his “Warp Drive, When?” Web site Millis (a scientist, and leader of NASA’s Breakthrough Physics Propulsion lab) said, "The ideal interstellar propulsion system would be one that could get you to other stars as quickly and comfortably as envisioned in science fiction. Before this can become a reality, three scientific breakthroughs are needed: discovery of a means to exceed light speed, discovery of a means to propel a ... hour, which was the speed of the NASA Voyager spacecraft as it left our solar system years ago, the trip would still take 80,000 years... In conclusion, if we want to cruise to other stars within comfortable and fundable time spans (say, less than a term in Congress), we have to figure out a way to go faster than light." (Why is Interstellar) Though this challenge may be overcome someday ... the rocket in one direction, it pushes the spacecraft in the other -- Newton's third law. The farther or faster we wish to travel, the more propellant we'll need. For long journeys to neighboring stars, the amount of propellant we would need would be enormous and prohibitively expensive." (NASA Lists) The final challenge to be over come is need for energy. It was indicated in Millis' research that, "Our ...

69: Aquarius
Aquarius Aquarius can be found in the SE sky in autumn, especially October. A dark night is especially helpful because many faint stars make up Aquarius. This will help to make the fainter stars stand out because its hard enough to see a shape in Aquarius. Up and to the west of aquarius, pegasus can be found. Down and to the east of aquarius, capricorn can be found. Aquarius ... man or boy spilling water from an urn. Aquarius is identified with Ganymede, a beautiful young shepherd who was abducted by Zeus and taken to Mount Olympus to be the cup bearer for the gods. Stars: Sadalmelik: Arabic for "lucky one of the king". It lies just off the celestial equator. Sudalsud: It means "luckiest of the lucky" in Arabic. It is the brightest star in the constellation Sadachbia: Arabic ...
70: European Union
... number of working languages will be limited to three (English, French and German) or five (with Italian and Spanish). A little known fact about the European Union's flag is that it has only 12 stars. The stars are not meant to represent countries. Rather, the number of twelve stars was chosen to be a symbol of completeness and of unity, as it corresponded to the number of stars in the zodiac, the number of months in the year and (for the purpose of ...
