Together with his colleagues, Mei and Bronya, landed to an unknown planet 5 light years away from the earth. Mr. Kaslana contacted their operator, Mr. Otto, from earth and he mentioned that they are away from the earth for 9.6 years. How long was the travel time from the perspective of Kevin and his colleagues? Given Ask Formula Solution Answer Part 3: (continuation) During travel, the operator from earth, Mr. Otto observe that the Hyperion is in an unusual length while travelling at 70 percent of the speed of light. The length of the spaceship as measured by Ms. Bronya and Ms. Mei is 500m long. What is the length of the Hyperion from the perspective of Mr. Otto?
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.
