This document provides an overview of gravity and its effects. It discusses Newton's law of universal gravitation, how gravity decreases with distance, tides on Earth caused by the moon's gravity, gravitational fields, Einstein's theory of gravity warping space, and the properties of black holes. Key points include that gravity follows an inverse-square law, the moon causes two high and two low tides per day on Earth, and massive stars that shrink can become black holes with escape velocities greater than light speed.
The moon orbits around the Earth rather than the Sun. The different phases of the moon, such as new, crescent, quarter, gibbous, and full, are caused by the changing orientation of the illuminated half of the moon relative to the Earth and Sun over the course of its orbit. The moon progresses through eight phases from new to full and back to new over the course of around 29.5 days as it orbits the Earth.
The document provides an introduction to astronomy, covering topics such as distances and measurements used in astronomy, motions of celestial objects, and key concepts like the celestial sphere and Kepler's laws of planetary motion. It describes units like the astronomical unit and light-year used to measure vast distances in space. Seasonal changes are explained by the tilt of Earth's axis and orbit around the Sun.
9.4 - Orbital Motion & Kepler's third lawsimonandisa
Kepler's 3rd law describes the relationship between the orbital period of a planet and the semi-major axis of its orbit. The square of the orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis. This relationship can be derived from the fact that centripetal force due to gravity must equal the gravitational force for an object to maintain a stable orbit. Graphs of the kinetic energy, potential energy, and total energy of an orbiting object help illustrate this relationship.
The document discusses the phases of the moon, beginning with the New Moon phase where the illuminated side faces away from Earth. It then explains the order and characteristics of the subsequent phases: Waxing Crescent where a small portion is lit, First Quarter where half is lit on the right side, Waxing Gibbous where nearly all of the right side is lit, Full Moon where the entire side facing Earth is illuminated, Waning Gibbous where the left side becomes illuminated, Last Quarter where half is lit on the left, and Waning Crescent where a small portion on the left remains lit before repeating the cycle.
Two or more stars that orbit each other and appear as a single star from Earth are known as binary stars. Constellations are patterns of bright stars as viewed from Earth, while asterisms are smaller patterns that are part of larger constellations. The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and contains thousands of chunks of rock known as asteroids.
Cepheid variables are yellow supergiant stars over three times the mass of the Sun that pulse in brightness over periods of days. This pulsing can be used to measure their distance from Earth. By determining a Cepheid variable's period of brightness change, its absolute magnitude can be calculated. Combined with the observed apparent magnitude, the distance can then be derived using a simple formula. Edwin Hubble used Cepheid variables to show that the Andromeda nebula and other spiral clusters contained stars far beyond the Milky Way, proving they were independent galaxies rather than nebulae within our own.
Olbers' paradox showed that if the universe was infinite and static, as was the prevailing cosmological model at the time, the night sky should be completely bright and luminous. Hubble's measurements in the 1920s found that galaxies were uniformly distributed but also revealed that more distant galaxies were receding faster, as evidenced by the Doppler effect. This supported the idea that the universe is expanding, resolving Olbers' paradox by showing the universe had a beginning in the Big Bang around 15 billion years ago. Hubble also discovered a direct relationship between the recession speeds of galaxies and their distances, known as Hubble's law, which provided evidence the universe has been expanding over time since the initial explosion.

The document discusses the phases of the Moon as seen from Earth. It explains that as the Moon orbits Earth over the course of about 27 days, we see it go through phases from New Moon to Full Moon and back to New Moon again. These phases include the crescent moon, first quarter moon, waxing and waning gibbous moons, and last quarter moon. The illuminated portion of the Moon changes depending on where it is in its orbit relative to the Earth and Sun.
Optical telescopes use lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing us to see stars and distant objects. Refracting telescopes use two lenses, while reflecting telescopes use mirrors, allowing them to be larger in size. Interferometry combines multiple telescopes to produce clearer images. The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth, allowing observations unhindered by the atmosphere. Other telescopes observe different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, like infrared and radio, enabling new discoveries.
Ancient sites like Newgrange Passage Tomb and Stonehenge were carefully aligned with astronomical events like solstices and equinoxes, suggesting their builders had knowledge of the movement of celestial bodies. Early models of the universe placed Earth at the center, with the geocentric model proposed by Aristotle and later displaced by Copernicus' heliocentric model placing the Sun at the center. Kepler later improved on this by discovering planetary orbits were elliptical rather than circular in shape.
The document discusses the phases of the moon. It explains that the moon appears to have phases because it revolves around Earth while also rotating on its axis. As the moon orbits Earth in its elliptical path, the angle of the sunlit side facing Earth changes, leading to different portions being illuminated and visible from Earth over the course of a lunar cycle. The document outlines the eight main phases of the moon - new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent - and provides a brief description and illustration of each phase.

Telescopes use either lenses or mirrors to study objects in space. Refracting telescopes use lenses while reflecting telescopes, like the Hubble Telescope, use mirrors. The Hubble Telescope in particular takes amazing pictures of space to help scientists learn more about the solar system and beyond.
The Society of Physics Students is hosting a star party to observe Jupiter and its 67 moons, as well as the Earth's moon and other astronomical objects like the Orion Nebula, Pleiades star cluster, and the Andromeda Galaxy. The event will provide an opportunity to learn about Jupiter, Earth's moon, and view astronomical phenomena through telescopes while celebrating discoveries made by scientists like Galileo Galilei.
Galileo invented the telescope and was the first to show that the Earth orbits the Sun. Telescopes use either lenses in refracting telescopes or mirrors in reflecting telescopes like the Hubble telescope, which takes amazing pictures of space. Space telescopes are reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to study the Solar System.
Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe made accurate measurements of planetary positions which he shared with Johannes Kepler. Kepler found that Mars' orbit was elliptical rather than circular as previously believed. He developed his three laws of planetary motion based on Mars' orbit: 1) planets orbit in ellipses with the sun at one focus, 2) connecting swept areas equal over time, 3) the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun. Kepler's laws helped Isaac Newton later establish his law of universal gravitation.
Refracting telescopes use lenses and were invented by Hans Lippershey, while reflecting telescopes use mirrors such as those used in space telescopes like the Hubble Telescope. The Hubble Telescope is a reflecting telescope that takes amazing pictures of space and was created by Edwin Hubble.

The document discusses the origin and evolution of models of the universe. It begins by describing early flat earth cosmologies from ancient civilizations like Egypt, India, and Mesopotamia. It then outlines the development of the spherical earth model in ancient Greece, including ideas proposed by Pythagoras, Plato, and calculations made by Eratosthenes to estimate the earth's circumference. The document also summarizes the geocentric model developed by the Greeks with the earth at the center, and revisions made by Aristotle and Ptolemy. Finally, it outlines the heliocentric model first proposed by Aristarchus, placing the sun at the center, and the further developments of this model by Copernicus.
This document provides an overview of the Copernican Revolution in astronomy from Ptolemy to Newton. It summarizes early geocentric models proposed by Aristotle and Ptolemy that placed Earth at the center. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model that placed the Sun at the center. Kepler discovered that planets follow elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus, and formulated his three laws of planetary motion. Galileo made important astronomical observations with his telescope that supported the Copernican model. Newton later described his laws of motion and gravity, unifying Kepler's laws with a physical mechanism.
The universe contains billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars. A galaxy is a group of stars held together by gravity, and there are three main types of galaxies: spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Stars are formed from the collapse of large clouds of dust and gas under the force of gravity. Our solar system contains eight planets that orbit the Sun, including Earth. Copernicus first proposed that planets orbit the Sun, while Kepler developed the three laws of planetary motion describing their elliptical orbits and periods.
1) Early models of the universe included geocentric models where Earth was the center, and heliocentric models where the Sun was the center. Kepler deduced 3 laws of planetary motion based on observations of Mars's orbit. 2) Newton formulated the law of universal gravitation, explaining that gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit. He determined that the force of gravity follows an inverse square law based on mass and distance between objects. 3) Cavendish later calculated the gravitational constant by measuring the small torque caused by the gravitational attraction between lead balls, allowing calculations of masses like Earth's.
- Ptolemy placed the Earth at the center of the universe, with the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn circling the Earth. This geocentric model held sway for 1400 years.
- Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the Solar System in his book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies. This heliocentric model made Copernicus the "father of modern astronomy."
- Kepler formulated his Three Laws of Planetary Motion using Brahe's precise observations. The first law states that the orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
Apreciados Amigos de la Sociedad Julio Garavito para el Estudio de la Astronomía y de las Ciencias Espaciales en general. Reciban un cordial saludo. El sábado 8 de Junio de 2019 desde las 11:00 Am hasta las 1:00 PM. se tuvo la reunión de la Sociedad Julio Garavito en el Auditorio del Planetario de Medellín "Jesús Emilio Ramírez González"-Antioquia-Colombia con la Charla: EINSTEIN’S THEORY OF GENERAL RELATIVITY GRAVITATIONAL LENSING PHENOMENON SOBRAL (Brazil) – ISLA PRINCIPE OBSERVATION SITES OF TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE MAY 29, 1919" Por: Herman J. Mosquera Cuesta (PhD Astrophysics). Resumen: In this talk we will review the foundational physics arguments for the occurrence of the phenomenon of gravitational lensing as predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity (GTR). A short review of the Einstein’s equations formulated by 1915 and the successful observational confirmations of the theory, in particular the August 2017 spectacular direct detection of the spacetime curvature waves, i.e. gravitational waves, from merging of a neutron star binary, as seeing by LIGO and VIRGO gravitational-wave observatories. Some comments on Einstein’s pathway to predict such phenomenon will be offered, and the specific expression to short-hand computing the angular deviation of background stars around the Sun field of view, will be given. In the offing, we shall briefly digest on the overall implications of such an achievement on May 29, 1919 for our understanding of the universe we live in. https://www.slideshare.net/SociedadJu... Nota: Estas charlas promovidas por la Sociedad Julio Garavito son de entrada libre sin costo alguno.

- Galileo Galilei was the first to use the telescope astronomically in 1609, observing sunspots on the Sun and features on the Moon like seas. His observations of Jupiter's moons provided evidence that bodies can orbit something other than Earth. His observations of Venus' phases provided evidence that Venus orbits the Sun.
- Kepler developed his three laws of planetary motion based on Brahe's astronomical measurements. His laws improved the Copernican model by showing planets orbit in ellipses rather than perfect circles.
Galileo Galilei's observations of Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon provided strong evidence supporting Copernicus' heliocentric model of the solar system. Galileo observed phases of Venus similar to Earth's Moon, proving that Venus orbits the Sun. He also discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter, showing that other celestial bodies can orbit something other than Earth.

- Cosmology is the study of the origin, structure, and future of the universe. The Big Bang Theory proposes that the universe began in an extremely hot and dense state and has been expanding ever since.
- There are three main types of galaxies: spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have a disc shape with densely packed stars surrounding a central bulge, while elliptical galaxies have all stars formed at once in an elliptical shape. Irregular galaxies lack a defined shape and have new stars continuously forming from gas and dust.
- Key figures in the development of astronomy include Copernicus, who proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system; Galileo, who made early telescopic observations; Kepler
1) According to NASA scientist Jim Kasting, there could be dozens of habitable planets surrounding us that we cannot yet see.
2) Seven Earth-sized planets were recently discovered orbiting the star Trappist-1 that may be capable of sustaining liquid water and life.
3) Throughout history, various cultures made structures aligned with astronomical events like solstices, demonstrating early interest in the skies.
This document discusses key concepts about the night sky and Earth's motions:
- It describes how astronomers organize the night sky into constellations to locate objects, and how Earth's rotation causes day/night and its orbit causes the seasons.
- It explains that the moon's orbit creates its phases and lunar/solar eclipses can occur when the sun, earth, and moon are aligned.
- It discusses how Earth's tilted axis and orbit around the sun cause the seasons, and how precession causes the north star to change over thousands of years.
The universe contains billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars. A galaxy is a group of stars held together by gravity, and the main types are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Stars are formed from the collapse of large clouds of dust and gas, releasing heat and light through nuclear fusion. Our solar system contains 8 planets that orbit the Sun, including Earth. Copernicus first proposed the heliocentric model that planets orbit the Sun, with Kepler developing the laws of planetary motion. Newton later explained that gravity and inertia cause planets to follow elliptical orbits around the Sun.
1. The document discusses the history of astronomy from ancient Greek ideas of a geocentric universe to Copernicus' heliocentric model.
2. Key figures discussed include Ptolemy, who developed the geocentric model that dominated for over 1000 years, and Copernicus, who proposed placing the Sun at the center.
3. Kepler later determined that planets orbit in ellipses rather than circles, establishing his three laws of planetary motion.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
