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

Newton: the Father of Modern Physics and Astronomy
Sir Isaac Newton lived from January 4, 1643 to March 31, 1727. He is commonly hailed as the father of classical mechanics and one of the most influential scientists and mathematicians of all time. Beyond developing calculus, which serves as the infrastructure for modern astronomy, he discovered the fundamental laws that govern bodies of terrestrial and astronomical … Continue reading Newton: the Father of Modern Physics and Astronomy → Continue reading

Earth Measured Relative to the Cosmic Scale
The Universe is an unbelievably vast entity. Earth’s radius is about 6.4*106 meters. In overwhelming contrast to this, the radius of the observable universe is approximately 4.4*1026 meters. That is a difference of 20 orders of magnitude. If the earth’s radius, and the universe as a whole, was scaled down such that the earth was the size of … Continue reading Earth Measured Relative to the Cosmic Scale → Continue reading
