[Lvas] 1 of 25 (+)

[roger ivester]

Shawn,

 

Thanks for the your most punctual reply. I have already selected 25 subjects that are a paragraph or less.

 

If this concept is of interest to the group...you could do a little research and present every other week. If anyone else would be interested in submitting something...well we could carry it out for a long time. In doing stuff like this we all learn...even if you are already familiar with the subject matter. 

 

Both the learned and the learner can benefit in such an exercise.

All,

Would anyone be interested in a 25 (+) week astronomy 101 subject matter? A reply would be appreciated if you feel this to be beneficial. We will cover "in brief" everything from dark nebulae, red shift, white dwarf's and binary star systems, to H-II hydrogen regions, and lots of stuff in between.
 
1. Absolute Magnitude: The concept of absolute magnitude is based on the concept that if stars were removed from their real location to a new place, exactly 10 parsecs away from the terrestrial observer. Naturally, stars that are brought closer will appear brighter and stars that are "pushed" to the 10 parsec line will now appear dimmer. The new magnitude that will be assigned to the stars when they are 10 parsecs away is known as absolute magnitude.
