| Pictured above is a double star cluster approximately 700,000 light years away from Earth - what do you notice about stars in the Milky Way Galaxy? |
The stars are different colors and sizes.
ReplyDeleteA lot of these stars are different colors. This is due to many things. Firstly the star composition. This means that if some stars are formed in a nebula with one element and another star is formed in a nebula with a different element, they would most likely be different colors. The second reason is the surface temperature of the star. A blue star is very HOT, while a red star is much much cooler than a blue star.
ReplyDeleteMany of the stars shapes and sizes vary. Brighter stars, or the blue stars, are very hot. Red stars are less hot so they are dimmer. Also, the bigger, brighter stars are clustered together.
ReplyDeleteThe small stars are close together. However the orange stars are spread out more.
ReplyDeleteThe stars are diffrent colors and some stars are clustered.
ReplyDeleteThis land form is called a alluvial fan. Gravity waves and rivers or streams made it. Other land forms that I see are mountains and rivers and streams.
ReplyDeleteThe alluvial fan looks like it is covering up former farm lands.

ReplyDeletethere are many star clusters and some are very bright
ReplyDeleteThe stars look bigger and brighter than the rest because they are closer to us.
ReplyDeleteThe blue hotter stars are closer together while the not as hot red giants are spread out.
