I learnt about stellarium and how to use it properly so that i can find the celetial bodies with more accuracy.
I aslo learnt more about 2 types of eclipses and why they aren't happening monthly when the moon does its revoulotion.
I learnt about magnetic fields and how powerful they are compared to other magnetic fields.
I like how we had to do a presentation with my schoolmates so that we could work together and understand each other even more
I think Newton had a better influence in astro than Galileo.
Sir Isaac Newton had a profound influence on astronomy due to his groundbreaking work in physics, particularly his laws of motion and universal gravitation. These laws, combined with his invention of calculus, provided a mathematical framework for understanding the movements of celestial bodies and their interactions. His theories explained planetary orbits and the relationship between gravity and motion, revolutionizing the field of astronomy.
Galileo Galilei had a profound influence on astronomy due to his pioneering use of the telescope for astronomical observation, his groundbreaking discoveries about the cosmos, and his advocacy for a heliocentric model of the solar system. His observations and interpretations of the moon, Jupiter, Venus, and the Milky Way, refuted established theories and laid the foundation for modern astronomy.
Even though they both had alought of different achiving feats in astro, Newton had more theory,while Galileo had helped it with more practical foundations but i think thoery is better as it helps us understand it more.
It would probabaly have to move between the line of day and nightas mercury has alot of exterme temperatures.
I think it will be like very bright and white as inside stars it is very very hot.
Fox hunting is where we have to usde our spatial awareness and the radio and teamwork to figure out where the radio is. It is also helping us learning how to persevere and learn through mistakes.
We can learn how to a radio transmitter properly so that when we go a do astro, we can know how a radio transmitter works and we can have more knowledge about it.
I can apply it by electrical engineering, physics, and even game development if i am interested in it.
You can measure the mass of a star byanalyzing its gravitational influence on other objects, primarily through observations of binary star systems.
Yes, stellar spectrometry, which analyzes the light from celestial objects, can be applied in other scientific fields beyond astronomy. The core principle of using light to identify materials and their properties is applicable in various disciplines like chemistry, biology, and physics on Earth.
I learnt that stars are fascinating because their life cycle shows how the universe constantly changes and recycles itself. They begin as clouds of gas and dust, forming into protostars before igniting nuclear fusion to shine as main-sequence stars. Depending on their mass, stars may expand into red giants and shed layers into space or explode as supernovae, creating neutron stars or black holes. Then it spreads elements across the universe, which later become part of planets and even living things. Reflecting on this, I realize how stars are not just distant lights in the sky but also very important cosmic processes that make life possible.
