Explore Outer Space Safely!
By: Alex Schauer
We are the safest space travel incoroperation you'll find!
Since your looking at this advertisement right now I am guessing you want to go to space and see the awesomeness in our galaxy. You're going to see Main sequence stars, Nebulae, Red giants, Red super giants, White dwarfs, black dwarfs, Supernovas, Neutron stars, Black Holes, and much, much more. If any of these interest you, then "come and visit the final frontier, before it is the end of the year."
For more details on what each object I stated is, Look below.
Main Sequence Star
This is a main sequence star, it is the most common star we will see on our journey, they come in all colors too. Red, blue, orange, yellow, white, and all the other colors. This is the type of star our own sun is. They use fusion to create energy which comes in two forms, heat and light. These will be common on our trip.
Nebula
This is the building block for the universe, without it, nothing would exist in the universe, including us! If you're lucky you might see the ones that are as huge as 100 light years across! There are two types of Nebula's: stellar nebulae, the nebula that contain hydrogen, and then the other types of nebulae, planetary nebulae. The tour guide will point each one out and tell you what they are. These will become more common the more we get to the edges of galaxies.
Red Giant Star
A main sequence star has hydrogen as a starting fuel and like all fuels, it will eventually run out of it. When that happens, it can't go to a gas station to refuel, it has to start using less efficient fuels, which turns it into a red giant and will slowly turn into a planetary Nebula as the inner core collapses on itself and the outer core slowly dispersal. These will be uncommon on your trip.
Red Super Giant
There are normal red giants, then there are the Super giants. Think of a red giant, if it was a hundred times bigger! This is the only difference between the red giant other than temperature. these rarely will be seen on your trip
white dwarf
What happens when all type of fusion stops? It depends on what size the star is; if it's a small super red giant or a red giant, it will turn into a white dwarf. A White Dwarf is a small hot star that is slowing burning away into a black dwarf. You will see these uncommonly on your trip.
black dwarf
This is when a star is finally dead. We have no pictures of this type of star because its hard to find a black dot in a black background. All energy from this star is gone, its core is the only thing that remains. You could be looking right at it and you'll never see it. It's common, but you won't be able to see one due to them being really hard to see. (note that this is a concept picture because there are no pictures of black dwarfs.)
Supernova
Ever wanted to see the violent side of the universe? This is what you want to view then. You know those super red giants? When they die they don't become planetary nebula, they erupt in a massive explosion and shoots its outer atmosphere out with speed. you will see few of these on your trip.
neutron stars
Think about compacting yourself so much all your electrons and protons in your body compress into neutrons. That is a neutron star, a huge dense core that is the only thing the remains of a huge star after a supernova happens. you will rarely see these on your trip.
Black hole
Think about compacting yourself so much, that the neutrons compact into themselves and become so dense, they create a monster that is so dense not even light can escape its gravitational pull. It's a black hole, an object that once matter passes though it, nobody knows where it goes. These are VERY RARE so don't worry, we won't be getting sucked up in any of these on your trip.
Spiral galaxies
Ever wondered where all of this is located? I'll tell you, its located in galaxies, there are 3 types in total. The one I'll tell you about is spiral galaxies. Spiral galaxies are a ball of dust, gas, and stars. It has "arms" spiraling out of the middle of said ball. Also just like all the other galaxies, come in clusters. These will be scattered across the whole universe and will be rarely seen.
Elliptical galaxies
Think of a spiral galaxies, but remove the "arms". Thought of it? Congratulations! You just thought of a Elliptical galaxy!
It is just like a spiral one except it has no arms. Now that you now know about this galaxy. These will be scattered across the whole universe and will be rarely seen.
Irregular galaxies
If you think that all galaxies are as orderly as spiral or elliptical, your are...wrong. There are galaxies called irregular galaxies, and as the name hints, they are irregular! If you think of a nebula grown into unimaginable size, and throw stars into the mix, that is a irregular star in a nutshell. These will be scattered across the whole universe and will be very rare.
Quasars
Think of a black hole, a dark object that sucks in light. Now think of its polar opposite, a bright object that throws out light. Have that image in your head? That's a quasar you just thought of. Not much is known of them and theory's are all over the place of what it is. Some say its a massive black hole, others say its the exit for a black hole. Nobody knows what it is, come onto this trip to find out what this mystery object is.
Globular cluster
So if you might have thought, "if galaxies come in clusters, how about stars?" If you thought that question, congratulation! You just thought of star clusters! There are two types of them, and we'll talking about globular clusters. These are old stars, and there are hundred of thousand of them! We will find these closer to the core of the galaxies.
Open clusters
These stars are young, and are born from the same stellar nebula. They will not live very long sadly, as their life cycle is short. You will see these closer to the edges of the galaxies, right next to nebulae too.
Go buy tickets now before they are gone!
So since you seen all the awesome objects that are in the universe you might not be interested in going on this trip anymore, right? This is just a glimpse of what types you will see to see the whole universe. You haven't lived until you have a full collection of pictures of every color of main sequence star! If that doesn't please you, try and record a pulsar! To buy tickets you should go to https://ThisIsTotallyNotAFakeWebside.com/shop/tickets.
