... different ability of materials (elements, molecules) to condense at a certain temperature (condensation sequence). In the case of the terrestrial planets, the gas was so hot (since it was near to the center of the system), that only matters with high “boiling points” were able to condense. Therefore ...

Exercise G1: Our Home Galaxy, the Milky Way
... Question 5: The Solar System is embedded within the galaxy. Why does the Milky Way appear as a narrow band of light instead of appearing as faint but evenly distributed light across the entire sky? a. The galaxy is flattened and we view it edge on, from its interior. b. We can only see stars in ...

Problem Set 6 for Astro 320 Read sections 11.2
... Due Nov. 18, by 5 pm, to the Astro 320 drop box. Problem 1: a) C & O, problem 11.2a. The Sun’s luminosity is 3.8 × 1026 W, or J/s. That translates, via E = mc2 , to m = E/c2 = 3.8 × 1026 /(3 × 108 )2 = 4 × 109 kg/s. Per year, that’s 3.16 × 107 ∗ 4 × 109 = 1.26 × 1017 kg/year, or 6.3 × 10−14 M /year ...

Advanced Composition Explorer
Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) is a NASA Explorers program Solar and space exploration mission to study matter comprising energetic particles from the solar wind, the interplanetary medium, and other sources. Real-time data from ACE is used by the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center to improve forecasts and warnings of solar storms. The ACE robotic spacecraft was launched August 25, 1997 and entered a Lissajous orbit close to the L1 Lagrangian point (which lies between the Sun and the Earth at a distance of some 1.5 million km from the latter) on December 12, 1997. The spacecraft is currently operating at that orbit. Because ACE is in a non-Keplerian orbit, and has regular station-keeping maneuvers, the orbital parameters at right are only approximate. The spacecraft is still in generally good condition in 2015, and is projected to have enough fuel to maintain its orbit until 2024. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center managed the development and integration of the ACE spacecraft.
