Stellar evolution

We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.

Red Shift

It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.

With an eyepiece field number of 18, what is the size (μm) of an object that covers 1/3 of the Field of View at low power?
Theory One significant telescope property is magnification (Mag). Magnification makes a small object appear larger. If Mag = 30X, the image is 30 times the size of the object. Related to Magnification is Field of View (FOV). FOV measures the fraction of the sky that can be viewed by the instrument. Generally, the higher the Mag, the lower the FOV. Light Gathering Power (LGP) is a measure of the light collection efficiency of the telescope. The higher the LGP, the brighter the image. LGP varies with the area (or diameter squared) of the aperture. Resolution (Res) measures the ability of the telescope to bring out fine detail. Res varies with aperture diameter. Also, Res is better for higher frequency (blue) light than for lower frequency (red light). Notice in Figure 9-1 for the Refractor that Objective focal length (fobj) and eyepiece focal length (feye) are labeled. The lens separation in this type of Refractor is feye + fobj. The magnification is fobj / feye. Questions. (3.…
