Gravitational Waves
Up until recently, the only way we have been able to gather information about stars, galaxies, and the universe around us has been through the study of light. However, as of the last few years, the discovery of gravitational waves provides a new method of collecting information about the universe. Although gravitational waves were first … Continue reading Gravitational Waves → Continue reading

The Influences of the Moon in Astronomy and Astrology
When one looks up their horoscope in the daily paper, predictions are made based on the sun signs. One of the many things these horoscopes miss is the powerful astrological influence of the moon, which in some cases is stronger than that of the sun. It’s not just pop culture astrology that overlooks the moon; […] Continue reading
How do radio waves differ from visible light
Radio waves actually travel at the speed of light in vacuum, which is about 300,000,000 meters per second. It is fast enough for anyone on Earth to contact others on Earth in less a second. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, so is light. The differences between light and radio waves are their frequencies and wavelengths. Wavelengths … Continue reading How do radio waves differ from visible light → Continue reading

Blog 3 – The Great Collision
Right now, everything in our universe is getting further and further away from us. Except for one thing. That one thing is Andromeda, the closest galaxy to our Milky Way. Instead of getting further away, Andromeda is actually getting closer and closer. Right now, we are getting closer at a rate of 300 kilometers per … Continue reading Blog 3 – The Great Collision → Continue reading

Gravity
Gravity is a fascinating phenomenon of physics that is integral to understanding the universe. Gravity keeps Earth in orbit around the sun, and the Moon in orbit around Earth. Any object that has mass, also has gravity. Moreover, the gravitational force between two objects is caused by two factors: mass and distance. The gravitational force … Continue reading Gravity → Continue reading
