Project Quasar
The Final Frontier
What is it
Well what project Quasar is where we take a group of people to space and show all the building blocks of the universe. Like our own galaxy, all types of stars, Etc. You will learn about each celestial body in the universe
First Stop our Galaxy
The Galaxy we are in is called the Milky Way. The Milky way is a Spiral Galaxy or a Bard Galaxy that scientist believe, we live on only one of the arms but we are just a tiny speck in it. So if u wanna know what our Galaxy is than u should join us in this ride through space.
This is known as the arm of the Galaxy
Star Clusters
Star clusters are a group of stars that are born from the same nebula and same time and the reason why they are so close is because they share a gravitational pull between them.
Globular Cluster
a large compact spherical star cluster, typically of old stars in the outer regions of a galaxy.
Open Cluster
- a relatively loose grouping of stars. that are younger than Open Cluster stars.
Stars
Now Stars are self luminous celestial body that goes through many lives like butterflies. And if you are wondering how we tell the temperature and size and age we use a diagram called the H-R Diagram
Main Sequence star
Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms in their cores. About 90 percent of the stars in the universe, including the sun, are main sequence stars. These stars can range from about a tenth of the mass of the sun to up to 200 times as massive. Stars start their lives as clouds of dust and gas.
Red Giant
Biggest star out in Space. A red giant star is a dying star in the last stages of stellar evolution. In only a few billion years, our own sun will turn into a red giant star, expand and engulf the inner planets, possibly even Earth
Red Super Giant
A red supergiant is an aging giant star that has consumed its core's supply of hydrogen fuel. Helium has accumulated in the core, and hydrogen is now undergoing nuclear fusion in the outer shells.
Nebulas
Nebula's are a collection of dust and gas and are birthplaces of stars and other celestial bodys
Planetary Nebula
often abbreviated as PN or plural PNe, is a kind of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from old red giant stars late in their lives.
Stellar Nebula
A Stellar Nebula is where stars are born and other celestial bodys
Supernovas
A supernova is a large explosion that takes place at the end of a star's life cycle. There are many different array of colors
White Dwarf
A white dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a stellar remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. A white dwarf is very dense
Black Dwarf
A black dwarf is a theoretical stellar remnant, specifically a white dwarf that has cooled sufficiently that it no longer emits significant heat or light.
Neutron Star
A neutron star is a type of compact star that can result from the gravitational collapse of a massive star after a supernova. Neutron stars are the smallest and densest starsknown to exist in the Universe
Pulsar
A pulsar is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Quasar
a massive and extremely remote celestial object, emitting huge amounts of energy, and typically having a star like image in a telescope. It has been guessed that quasars contain massive black holes and may represent a stage in the evolution of some galaxies.
Black Hole
a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape.
