Prepare a 10-15 slides PowerPoint presentation on astronomy.

Astronomy Powerpoint Prepare a 10-15 slides PowerPoint presentation on astronomy. The portion of this project should be a “presentation” of your Paper. The presentation should be , with a detailed “script” in the notes section. Also include a detailed script to accompany the slides, This script should reflect your full presentation and be detailed enough […]

Click on the following link and adjust the masses m1 at 2×109 kg and the distance between the two objects r at 5km, write their values in the table 1.

Worksheet Using Phet Interactive Simulation Dep. Of Applied Physics and Astronomy University of Sharjah Name : ID#: This activity consists of two Parts Part one: Gravitational force versus distance. Part two: Gravitational forces versus mass. To be familiar with the Gravitational force magnitude direction and the parameters affect this force using Phet simulation open the […]

What does it mean to say that the conceptual fact of perfect circular motion in the heavens is inconsistent with the empirical facts of how the heavenly bodies are observed to move in the sky?

Worldviews What does it mean to say that the conceptual fact of perfect circular motion in the heavens is inconsistent with the empirical facts of how the heavenly bodies are observed to move in the sky? Why is this important to the development of astronomy in the ancient and early modern periods? The text is […]

Astronomy in ancient civilizations and concentrating on the accomplishments of The Ancient Greek Civilization in Astronomy For this research paper you will write a short two page paper ( 12 pt font, MLA format) talking about the importance of Astronomy in ancient civilizations and concentrating on the accomplishments of any one civilization. You must cite […]

Using the procedures outlined in Steps 1 and 2 above, examine the spectra of these objects:  “3C 215”, “3C 212”, and “3C 9”.

Using the procedures outlined in Steps 1 and 2 above, examine the spectra of these objects:  “3C 215”, “3C 212”, and “3C 9”.  They’re quasars – and are so far away from Earth that you need to use the emission line labeled “Mg II 2799” to track their redshift.  Note also their morphologies as they […]

Figure out how fast the gas clouds are moving in units of kilometers per second.

The width of an emission line is usually determined by how fast the light-emitting gas clouds are moving – in this case, how fast they’re orbiting around a supermassive black hole.  Measure the width of the [S II] line pair in Angstroms by first measuring the wavelength of the right edge with your cursor, then […]

Describe the difference in appearance of the emission lines between NGC 3862 and 3C 236.

(a) Go again to the Navigate tool, and this time enter into the “name” box “3C 236” – and again look at the interactive spectrum in the Explore tool.  Zoom in again to examine the five emission lines as you did for NGC 3862 above – but notice this time that the lines are redshifted […]
