Alice Andrews
Astrophysics teacher | Verified Expert
I'm an Astrophysics graduate from Texas State University, passionate about unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos. With a deep understanding of celestial phenomena, I bring clarity to complex concepts. Whether it's the intricacies of stellar evolution or the nuances of quantum mechanics, I'm here to guide students on their journey through the cosmos of knowledge. Let's explore the universe together, one question at a time.
Questions
How does mass affect star formation?
How big is the sun's heliosphere?
Where are open clusters found in our galaxy?
What is produced by primordial nucleosynthesis?
After the big-bang, tiny black holes may have formed. If one with a mass of #1 x 10^11 kg# (and a radius of only #1 x 10^-16 m#) reached Earth, at what distance from your head would its gravitational pull on you match that of the Earth's?
How are galaxies clusters and superclusters different?
What exists between a black hole's event horizon and its singularity?
If you were to look at your standard-fare pulsar star, what color would it appear?
How does the sun give us heat if space is a vacuum?
How does the energy produced in the core of the sun reach the surface?
On a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, where would we find stars that have the largest radii?
Where is the Oort Cloud located and what do we believe comes from it?
Is a planet's orbital period related to the planet's size?
How do astronomers study the sun's interior?
How is imaging spectroscopy used in astronomy?
How did planetary nebulae get their name?
What is the temperature of Sirius?
If the law of physics that determines maximum density of matter is broken during the initial creation of a black hole, then shouldn't all laws of physics be invalidated within the event horizon (Schwarzschild radius) of a black hole?
What evidence do we have that the space between the stars is not completely empty?
How would the field of astrophysics be enhanced by a return trip to the moon?
