4
The universe The universe is everything in space
5
The different types of universes
6
Stars make up galaxies which make up the universe
7
The different types of galaxies Draw three boxes each with a title and a picture of the galaxy in the box Spiral Galaxy Irregular Galaxy Elliptical Galaxy
8
What makes one star different from another? 1.Mass determines lifespan of star 2.Flame demonstration: predict on left side order from coolest to hottest. (orange, white, yellow, red, blue)
9
The color of a star tells its surface temperature Remember: ROYWB A star’s color tells you how hot its surface is. From coolest to hottest: Red, orange, yellow, white, blue
10
Size of stars
11
A star is born Nebulas- dust and debris collecting in space
12
Protostar Star is being formed from nebula dust and debris
13
Star is formed=main sequence
14
Dying star
15
Super nova Explosion moving at about 6 million mph!! OR
16
White dwarf star Black dwarf star
17
A star has died
18
Neutron Star If the star is at least 1.5 but less than 9 times larger than the Sun, the core left after the supernova will collapse into a neutron star. This is a star composed only of neutrons. Black Hole If the star is at least 9 or more times larger than the Sun, the core will continue to collapse into a black hole, an extremely dense area with a strong gravitational pull that light can not escape. Neutron Star or Black Hole?
19
Types of Galaxies – Quasars… A quasar is a distant galaxy with a black hole at its center. As enormous amounts of gas revolve around a black hole, the gas heats up and shines brightly.
