All 4 assignments from last week are due Tuesday - they are:
Friday: 1. Quiz over distances in space and star life stages 2. Study Island Progress Check Question of the Week  Pictured above is a pretty amazing place about 1,500 light years away! Look closely at this object's stars - what do you think this is, and what is going on within it? |
It appears to be a cloud of dust and gas much bigger then our solar system and so dumbed down its a nebula where a starfield is being born.
ReplyDeleteThe picture shows the Orion nebula. This is because there are those three starts in a row there. You can see lots of dust particles and different gases that might form a planet.
ReplyDeleteit's a picture of the Orion's Nebula. We can tell because you can see the three stars aligned. what is happening is that the nebula is creating new stars.
ReplyDeleteThe picture above is of Orion's Nebula. All though you cannot see all of the stars to complete the constillation, the three stars in a row are clearly visible. In the picture the Nebula is currently creating stars, which is very common.
