Cosmic Masquerade

Scientists proclaimed they found a planet outside of our solar system, maybe in the Goldilocks Zone. It is not a real planet, but a cosmic masquerade. It isn’t too hot, and not too cold for life. Astronomers thought were two planets there, turned out to be those magnetic outburst from a local star. In the habitable Goldilocks Zone are still about other 20 planets out there.

Godzilla of Earths

The “Alien Planet” is 17 times heavier than any Exo-Planet discovered so far. Scientists discovered recently a new type of huge, and rocky alien world, which is 560 light-years from Earth. The “Mega-Earths” an Exo-Planet Kepler 10c weighs 17 times as much as Earth does. It circles a sunlike star in the constellation Draco. It is much bigger than “Super-Earths”, which are class of planets slightly bigger than our home planet Earth. 

Atronomy Authors

My favorite astronomy authors are Brian Greene, Michio Kaku, and Stephen Hawking. This year though, I haven’t read from Stephen Hawking’s books, but I have read from Michio Kaku, and Brian Greene. They’re so much fun to learn about space, and physics. I used to see Stephen Hawking’s shows before, and am amazed by them. The books I love reading are Michio Kaku’s science books. There is so much to learn from the world of physics. Somehow I will start reading Stephen Hawking’s books. Right now I am reading Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku. I am finally understanding it. I will begin to read The future of the Mind, later on, which is also by Michio Kaku. I can’t wait to read it.

Rewatching Atronomy Shows, and Rereading Astronomy books

I can’t yet make sense of anything of Astronomy right now. I am trying to make sense of the atoms, particles, quarks, electrons, and neutrinos. I know some of the things, such as what happens when you enter a black hole. The chart including dark energy, dark matter, and everything that’s all around us am getting to be familiar with each of the percentages. The percentage of everything we know and that’s all around us is 4%. Dark Energy I think is around 80% or less, I am not quite sure. I know that dark matter is 16%, perhaps. I already know who Albert Einstein is. Who wouldn’t know Einstein, because that is a no-brainer for most of us. We can’t travel in time, but it is possible. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light. I know that Isaac Newton discovered the Laws of Motion, and wrote a book on Gravity called Principia Mathematica. Albert Einstein discovered the theory of relativity. I know half of the science, maybe I do, but I am trying to make sense of it all. It will be difficult for me, but I will study it everyday to get my facts straight and sound correct. Before, I was mostly incorrect, I don’t know if I am correct on most of it, but it’s a work in progress. I am going to study astronomy, and science real hard. I will reread astronomy books until it all makes sense to me. I will watch again astronomy shows until it all makes sense to me. I love astronomy, and science. 

Length of Exoplant’s Day Measured

Observers have determined the rotation of an exoplanet. A day on Beta-Pictoris b (exoplanet discovered) only lasts 8 hours. The planet has been discovered 6 years ago, and is one of the first exoplanets to be imaged. Its host star orbits at a distance of only 8 times the Earth-Sun distance. It is 16 times larger, and 3,000 times more massive than Earth. It’s expected to cool, and shrink over time, which makes it spin faster. Beta-Pictoris b was the first exoplanet to measure the length day. 

Black Holes Shape Galaxies

Galaxies who are redder have high values from the measurement of the mass of the bulge (concentration of stars), and central black hole; determining its color. The mass in the central bulge is the key to knowing the color of the whole galaxy. Almost most galaxies have supermassive black holes in their centers. If the black hole is more massive, and the more energy it releases into the galaxy in form of powerful jets, and x-ray emission. It can blow away, and heat up gas, to stop new stars from forming.

I Am Watching Astronomy Shows

Yesterday I was watching The Inexplicable Universe with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I was trying to make sense of it all, but know some of the things he has explained. I need to watch his show series several times, which I intend to do. The other show I was watching today was How The Universe Works, and then Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. I was trying to understand all of it, and it seems that these too I need to repeat seeing it. I think I know some of the things, but love astronomy anyway. I think I have sort of complete understanding of some of the things the universe acts on nature in space. In outer space nature is real strange, this is the reason I enjoy watching these shows. They keep you guessing what the host is explaining you in order to learn from it. I have recently bought The Parallel World by Michio Kaku on the kindle fire, and Physics of the Future in print by the same author. The reason I am watching astronomy and reading it is because I want to learn about things in space. The Science Channel is my favorite channel, but I only watch the educational shows, and not the other shows like Survivor Man for example.    

The Lunar Eclipse

The moon passed through Earth’s shadow, and Mars made its closest approach to Earth. This event occurred close to the eclipse. The website Slooth.com, began coverage of Mars, and the Lunar Eclipse at 2:30 a.m., of April 15. The eclipse images from observatories were in Florida, Arizona, Nebraska, New Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica. If you have witnessed this year’s lunar eclipse, then you have thought it’s spectacular, extraordinary, and beautiful.

What I Am Reading

These past few weeks I am more into reading astronomy. The hardcover book I have started to read is The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brain Greene. I know it is a controversial book, but I decided to pick up on it. The other one I am reading that has nothing to do with astronomy is The Godfather by Mario Puzo for the second time. In the astronomy book I am learning tons of stuff for example The Theory of Relativity, the unsolved Unified Theory, etc. It’s interesting to read. Some people think it’s boring, but once you pick up on it it gets to be fun. I suggest if you’re an astronomy lover like I am start reading astronomy books. It’s educational, and it gives your brain knowledge. The Godfather novel I am reading now I have a clear picture of all of the events that occur in it. I have several astronomy books in my kindle I am reading. I am trying to make sense of all astronomy, because it’s very hard to understand in one day. You have to keep reading it everyday, and apply it in your mind. I am reading The Unobservable Universe in my kindle. So, I read novels in print, and also the astronomy books on the kindle fire. I also read writing reference books in the kindle fire device, also.

Magnetism Explains A Mystery Of Planet-Forming Disks

The idea of magnetism atmosphere on planet-forming isn’t new. It’s the first time it has been linked of the mystery of the observed excess infrared light. The planet-forming disks, which circle the young stars heat up by starlight, and glows with infrared light. A theory on planet-forming disks suggesting answers: Gas and dust suspend the disks above on gigantic loops seen of the sun absorb sunlight, and glow infrared light. The stars around the planet-forming material makes its way into future planets, asteroids, and comets. Magnetism atmospheres are similar to taking  place on the surface of our sun, which magnetic moving field lines spur huge solar prominences flaring up in big loops. It became clear disks aren’t enough to account the extra infrared light, even of stars a few times the mass of the sun. Stars surrounded a giant dusty halo, then intercepts the star’s visible light and re-radiated at infrared wavelengths. The result is that the atmosphere absorbs and re-radiates much to account all the extra infrared light. The starlight intercepts material not in a halo, and not inside a traditional disk, but in a disk atmosphere, which is supported by magnetic fields.
