...The Research of the Hubble Sequence There are many different classes of galaxies and many more to be discovered Hubble just scratched the surface of what we could find out there. Edwin Hubble is well known for that the research in the Hubble Sequence, also in the many books he wrote for the explonation of his work and his thoughts on it. Edwin Hubble discovered the Hubble Sequence and and was the one who was famos for it. The Hubble Sequence is a theory proven to be a fact by Edwin Hubble, this sequence is a morhpological classification scheme for galaxies which this theory was proven fact because of Edwin Hubble. Now to explain what this is, well this scheme reprsents more of divided regular galaxies to broad classes. Each of these classes...

...The Hubble telescope has created a way for people living on earth to see space in ways we never would have seen without it. The telescope was named after discoverer Edward Hubble The Hubble Telescope was first planned and created in 1975 in honour of Dr Edward Hubble, but was launched on April 24th, 1990 by a space shuttle, estimate at almost 1.5 billion dollars but the telescope is still and will continue to add to costs. It has been created to capture images of planets, stars and galaxies, giving people on earth a clear image of what space is like and how it has evolved. The Telescope has different features to help produce the images taken, using a digital camera and radio waves to capture and send the pictures to Earth and its data basis for the world to see. The Hubble Telescope is located around 552 km (343 miles) from the Earth’s surface and it travels at as speed of about 8km/s spinning around the earth’s surface.

...For thousands of years, astronomers have had trouble with questions about the age, geometry, and size of the universe. Does the universe extend continuously, or does it have an ending point somewhere? Was the universe created at a certain time or was it here from the beginning? In 1929, astronomer Edwin Hubble, made a breakthrough discovery that led to the scientific answers for the questions above; he discovered that the universe is expanding. First, I will briefly explain some of the cosmological theories natural philosophers and astronomers were able to come up with before Hubble established that the universe is not static, but actually expanding. Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle proposed that the universe was an eternal, static universe...

...observable universe. (physics.org) Without the Hubble Space telescope none of these galaxies would have been discovered and many astronomical discoveries would go unnoticed and would halt many studies in the field, it would leave many cosmic mysteries unsolved. It took many years to launch the telescope into space and for the telescope to be able to take the kinds of photos that it takes today. This is why the Hubble telescope has such importance in the field of astronomy. The hubble space telescope was named after astronomer Edwin Hubble. Accroding to spacetelescope.com Edwin Hubble was born in Missouri in 1958. He moved to chicago nine years later where he attended high school. He graduated in 1906 received a scholarship from the university from chicago, because the scholarship was awarded to another student by...

...The Hubble Space Telescope has helped scientists learn about the ever reaching space outside of our atmosphere. The Hubble Telescope has sent images of space for the past 28 years. Hubble is one of NASA’s greatest accomplishments, Hubble has recorded thousands of images of space to better help scientist understand the beauty of deep space. The Hubble Telescope determine the age of the universe to be about 13-14 billion years old rather than the former age of 10-20 billion years old. Hubble also helped identify quasars which emit extreme amounts of energy, and the existence of dark energy which theoretically is used to expand the universe. Hubble has confirmed and has made new discoveries to help advance our understanding of space. Hubble can...

...Using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), in a very wide-ranging survey, astronomers have found a distinctive relation between the existence of supermassive black holes that power high-speed, radio-signal-emitting jets and the joining history of their host galaxies. This meant finding more significance to the case of jets being the result of merging black holes. The astronomers studied a large selection of galaxies with very bright centers, known as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) "Almost all of the galaxies hosting these jets were found to be merging with another galaxy, or to have done so recently." Relativistic jets travel at close to the speed of light, making them one of the fastest astronomical objects known. While it is now apparent that a galactic merger is without doubt necessary for a galaxy to host a supermassive black hole with relativistic jets, they infer that there must be further circumstances necessary. Speculating that the collision of one galaxy with another produces a supermassive black hole with jets when the central black hole is spinning faster, "possibly as a result of meeting another black hole of a similar mass -- as the excess energy extracted from the black hole's rotation would power the jets"....

...THOUGHT PAPER 2 THE HUBBLE The earth is given to us, to grow, to survive, to breathe and to live; it’s for our own advantage. But we often take this privilege for granted, probably because its given for free, we did not earn it or strive to deserve it. We value it less; however, one of the beauty that The Hubble showed, was that with trillion miles away, galaxies and stars, non-showed existence of life; it was only the Earth, our home that showed the wonderful blessing that God has given us. How can we then give back to the Earth? How can we balance the need of demand and supply? The Hubble documentary portrays the Earth is the only one who has life, it suggests that one must take care of our planet with the purpose of having a home for future generations to come. The Hubble is a space telescope that is located above the surface of the atmosphere specifically in the low earth orbit far above rain clouds and light pollution. Hubble has an unobstructed view of the universe; scientists have used The Hubble to observe the most distant stars and galaxies as well as planets in our solar system. Hubble takes extremely sharp pictures, the most detailed visible-light image ever made of the universe’s most distant objects. It is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well known as both a vital research tool and a benefit to public relations for astronomy. Hubble’s existence marks the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo’s telescope. It was built by the United...

...Telescopes in Astronomy SCI/151 January 26, 2015 Telescopes in Astronomy Telescopes are one of man's greatest inventions. The instrument makes distant objects appear closer and they have taken us on a fantastic voyage of learning about and understanding our universe. This paper will focus on the importance of telescopes, major designs, strengths and weaknesses of telescope locations, and where the best place to build them is. In addition, frequencies of light and the role they play in telescopes are discussed. Prior to the telescope the universe was studied, but without the telescope many discoveries would not have been possible. Birth of the Telescope There is some debate as to who designed the first telescope, however the first person to apply for a telescope patent was Hans Lippershey in 1608 (Cox, 2013). In 1609 when Galileo heard of the telescope he decided to design his own and was the first person to point it up toward space (Cox, 2013). Up until this point it was thought that the universe was geocentric and that the Sun evolved around the Earth. The invention of the telescope helped prove the Copernican system in which all planets evolve around the Sun. This discovery significantly changed our view of the universe and our place in it. Telescope Designs Designs of telescopes range from reflecting, refracting, and catadioptric telescopes. These three types of telescopes...

...nine years old, following his visit to Pennsylvania and seeing the stars, saying "it looks like the Hayden Planetarium".[6] He obsessively studied astronomy in his teens, and eventually even gained some fame in the astronomy community by giving lectures on the subject at the age of fifteen.[7] Tyson recalls that "so strong was that imprint [of the night sky] that I'm certain that I had no choice in the matter, that in fact, the universe called me."[6] Astronomer Carl Sagan, who was a faculty member at Cornell University, tried to recruit Tyson to Cornell forundergraduate studies.[3] In an interview with writer Daniel Simone,[8] Tyson said: Interestingly, when I applied to Cornell, my application dripped of my passion for the study and research of the Universe. Somehow the admissions office brought my application to the attention of the late Dr. Sagan, and he actually took the initiative and care to contact me. He was very inspirational and a most powerful influence. Dr. Sagan was as great as the universe, an effective mentor. Tyson revisited this moment on his first episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey....

...always been in existence (Chown, 2012). Others, however, believe the opposite; they believe in the creation of our universe. Whether one believes in a scientific development of the universe, or in a higher power of creation, there are two sides to every debate. In this paper, each side will be explained, discussed and compared and contrasted. The Big Bang Theory Many people believed at one time that the universe we know today had no beginning or an end. However, through research, the Big Bang Theory proved that the universe was not infinite. The universe has a history and most certainly a beginning (LaRocco & Rothstein, n.d.). According to many scientists, the Big Bang happened about 15 billion years ago. This event was an enormous explosion “filling all of space with all of the particles of the embryonic universe” (LaRocco &Rothstein, n.d.). However, unlike a bomb exploding fragments outward, the explosion of the universe was an explosion within itself (LaRocco & Rothstein, n.d.). “The origin for the Big Bang Theory can be credited to Edwin Hubble” (LaRocco &Rothstein, n.d.). Hubble came to the conclusion that the universe is continuously expanding in every direction. To further explain, Hubble observed that “it has taken every single galaxy the same amount of...

...Approximately 14 billion years ago, the universe that stands today was born. There are various explanations for how it was created. Research shows that they are essential scientific questions and it stimulate scientists to debate their research. Many scientists from all over the world and different time periods work to find the reason behind its creation. The different theories on the origin of the universe have a great impact on the way humans view how the universe was created. The most known is the Big Bang theory and smaller theories include the String theory, the Incredible Bulk theory, the Times Arrow theory and the Steady State theory. (Tate) The universe is almost 14 billion years old. There are two common ways scientists use to calculate how old the universe is. The first method involves measuring the speeds and distances of the galaxies. Scientists interpret that the galaxies were closer together before in the past because all of them are slowly moving further from each other every second. Identifying the current speeds and distances of the galaxies, included with the rate at which the universe is accelerating, permits scientists to calculate how long it took...

...July 22, 2010 In recent years, much attention has been given to the increase in the Earth-Sun distance, with the modern rate reported as 5–15 m/cy on the basis of astronomical measurements. However, traditional methods cannot measure the ancient leaving rates, so a myriad of research attempting to provide explanations were met with unmatched magnitudes. In this paper we consider that the growth patterns on fossils could reflect the ancient Earth-Sun relationships. Through mechanical analysis of both the Earth-Sun and Earth-Moon systems, these patterns confirmed an increase in the Earth-Sun distance. With a large number of well-preserved specimens and new technology available, both the modern and ancient leaving rates could be measured with high precision, and it was found that the Earth has been leaving the Sun over the past 0.53 billion years. The Earth’s semi-major axis was 146 million kilometers at the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon, equating to 97.6% of its current value. Measured modern leaving rates are 5–14 m/cy, whereas the ancient rates were much higher. Experimental results indicate a special expansion with an average expansion coefficient of 0.57H0 and deceleration in the form of Hubble...

...Human Factors in Aviation Safety Final Paper Curtis D. Hudson Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Human factors in aviation isn’t a new concept but at the time when the Hubble telescope, and stealth bombers were still fresh ideas, Human factors was just now hitting its stride. In 1988, Earl Weiner and David Nagel coincidently released a book titled Human Factors in Aviation (Salas, Maurino and Curtis). During this time, HF was still being slowly accepted and established as a practice to help increase the awareness and improve aviation safety. This period is also significant because prior to then, Human Factors researchers were not involved with aviation system designs and were normally included upon design completion. The incorporation of having HF researchers involved in the design process helped the role evolve and expand the field research. As students of HF research we are aware of the importance of the technology and design of the cockpit, crew resource management (CRM), health and judgment of the crew and how automation plays a role in aviation. This was also a somewhat foreign practice in the beginning. Human Factors researchers were limited to the cockpit and overall cabin technology design. It can be argued that Human Factors in Aviation played a big role in the way business is conducted now compared to before this book was written. When we hear of an aviation mishap, particularly a plane crash, the first thing that comes...
