Section 5 comets, asteroids, and meteors2
Comets are loose collections of ice, dust, and small particles that orbit the sun in elongated ellipses. As comets approach the sun, their ice sublimates and forms an atmosphere and two tails made of gas and dust that point away from the sun. Most comets originate from the Kuiper Belt or distant Oort Cloud. Famous comets include Halley, Hale-Bopp, and Hyakutake. Asteroids orbit in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and range in size from pebbles to Ceres at 578 miles wide. Some asteroids may have been captured into orbit around Mars as its moons. Meteoroids are small rocks or dust that become meteors as they burn up in

Locating stars
Constellations are groups of stars that form imaginary patterns in the night sky. While the stars appear close together, they are actually separated in space. Various ancient astronomers defined constellations to help navigate the stars, with Ptolemy recognizing 48 constellations in the 2nd century. Today, the International Astronomical Union recognizes 88 constellations. Constellations can be circumpolar, visible all year from a particular latitude, or seasonal, rising and setting at certain times.
Constellations
A constellation is a group of stars that forms a pattern when viewed from Earth. The Big Dipper is not its own constellation but is part of the larger constellation Ursa Major, also known as the Great Bear. Constellations are created by connecting the dots between bright stars using imagination to see figures like dogs, cats, or other shapes.

Constellations
1) On a clear night, the unaided human eye can see about 6,000 stars, though light pollution limits this to a few hundred in urban/suburban areas.
2) Constellations originally referred to patterns of the brightest stars representing mythological figures, though today they are defined regions of the sky regardless of star brightness.

Stars & constellations
This document provides information about three constellations: Ursa Major, Orion, and Cassiopeia. Ursa Major is a prominent summer constellation containing seven stars that form the shape of a ladle or question mark. Orion is a recognizable winter constellation known as "The Hunter" with three stars forming its belt. Cassiopeia is another winter constellation with a distinctive W or M shape named after the mythological queen.
Constellations
The document discusses constellations, which are patterns of stars recognized by various ancient cultures and formally defined by the IAU. Constellations were used for navigation, tracking seasons, and preserving myths. The IAU recognizes 88 constellations that fall within designated boundaries and include a variety of figures from mythology and science. Smaller unofficial patterns within constellations are called asterisms. Six constellations in the northern sky are always visible from a latitude of 28 degrees north.
Uranus
Uranus is about four times the diameter of Earth and is the third largest planet. It orbits the Sun at a distance of approximately 1.8 billion miles. Uranus has 27 known moons, including its five largest - Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. Uranus has a system of rings composed of ice particles. Although larger than Earth, Uranus' surface gravity is less due to its gaseous composition, which also gives it a blue appearance when viewed from Earth. Voyager 2 took almost nine and a half years to reach Uranus during its journey through the solar system.
Unit 1: The earth in the universe
This document provides an overview of the universe and our solar system. It begins by defining the universe and its components, including galaxies which contain billions of stars, and the Milky Way galaxy that contains our solar system. It then describes our solar system, noting the sun and eight major planets including Earth, and characteristics of each. Smaller objects in our solar system are also outlined such as asteroids, comets, and moons. The document concludes by describing key attributes of Earth like its rotation, translation around the sun which causes seasons, and atmosphere.
Constellations grade 8
This document discusses constellations from both a mythological and scientific perspective. It begins by defining constellations as groups of stars that appear to form patterns from Earth's point of view, though the stars are not physically close. Many constellations derive from figures in Greek mythology. The document then discusses how the night sky appears different depending on one's location and viewpoint. It concludes by noting that while constellations were meaningful for ancient cultures, modern astrophysics has revealed stars to be just a small part of a much larger universe.
Meteoroids
A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic object traveling through space. Most meteoroids range in size from small grains to 1 meter and are fragments from comets or asteroids. When meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere, friction and compression cause them to heat up and glow - appearing as "shooting stars" or meteors. If they survive atmospheric entry and reach the ground, they are called meteorites.
Constellations
Constellations were imagined as pictures formed by groups of stars and were used to tell myths and stories by ancient cultures. Astronomers have now identified 88 official constellations, some of which can only be seen at certain times of year as the Earth orbits the sun. The document then provides fun facts about several specific constellations, including Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Pegasus, Pisces, and Leo. It concludes with true/false questions about constellations.
Constellations in the night sky
Constellations are groups of stars that form imaginary patterns in the night sky. Different cultures have identified different shapes among the same stars. Historically, constellations were useful for navigation and keeping track of seasons. The North Star is particularly important for navigation in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Southern Cross serves a similar purpose in the Southern Hemisphere. Popular constellations represent myths and stories from different traditions around the world.
Constellations
The unaided human eye can see about 6,000 stars on a clear night, with about 3,000 stars visible at any given time. However, light pollution limits the number of visible stars to a few hundred for most locations. The apparent brightness of celestial objects is measured on the magnitude scale, with 1st magnitude stars being the brightest and 6th magnitude stars being the faintest visible to the unaided eye. Constellations help organize the sky into defined regions, though the stars within a constellation may be located at different distances.
Three Stories of Constellations
Astronomy is love! In this presentation, I share three fascinating stories of constellations, explaining how the constellations in the sky got their name, and how each constellation is related to one another.
Other members of solar system aishi
The document discusses the different members of the solar system including the planets Mercury through Neptune, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, artificial satellites, and more. It explains that asteroids occupy the large gap between Mars and Jupiter, and can be seen through telescopes. Comets revolve around the sun in highly elliptical orbits with long revolution periods. Meteors are small objects that occasionally enter the Earth's atmosphere, though they are commonly called shooting stars. Artificial satellites are man-made objects that orbit Earth closer than the moon.
Constellations
A constellation is a group of stars that form an image in the sky. There are 88 officially recognized constellations in the world that were named by ancient Greeks and Babylonians over 6,000 years ago based on stories and figures. The document discusses facts about constellations like their movement and stories, the history of how they were established over centuries, and provides case studies of specific constellations like Draco the dragon, Grus the flamingo, Leo the lion, Ursa Major the big dipper, Indus, and Hydra the sea serpent.
Constellations
Constellations are patterns of stars in the sky that represent pictures or shapes. There are 88 official constellations defined by the IAU. Circumpolar constellations like Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Draco can be seen all year from northern latitudes as they circle the North Star Polaris. Other notable constellations include Orion the hunter, Canis Major containing the brightest star Sirius, and Scorpius containing the bright star Antares.
Comets, asteroids, and meteors
This document summarizes the key differences between comets, asteroids, and meteors. Comets originate from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud, are composed of ice and frozen gases, and have highly elliptical orbits. Asteroids originate from the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, are composed of silicates and metals, and have more rounded orbits. Meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and become meteors as they burn up, with fragments that survive impact becoming meteorites. Studying the composition of comets, asteroids, and meteorites provides clues about the early solar system and impacts that affected Earth.
The solar system presentation
This document discusses theories of how the Solar System formed and describes the planets in our Solar System. It begins by explaining different historical theories for how the Sun, Earth, and planets formed. The most widely accepted today is the nebular hypothesis, which suggests the Solar System formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust that condensed. It then provides details on the classification of objects in our Solar System and defines planets. Finally, it gives brief descriptions of the eight planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Other members of solar system
Asteroids occupy the large gap between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are small bodies that orbit the sun in elongated orbits and have tails. Halley's Comet appears every 76 years. Meteors are small objects that burn up when entering Earth's atmosphere, appearing as shooting stars. Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through comet debris. Some large meteors survive entry and are called meteorites. Satellites are natural or artificial objects that orbit Earth or other planets. Artificial satellites have practical applications like weather forecasting and telecommunications.
Stars and Constellations
Stars are giant balls of gas that produce energy through nuclear fusion. They vary greatly in size, temperature, luminosity, and lifespan. The universe contains over 100 billion galaxies, each with over 100 billion stars. Stars appear different colors due to their temperatures, from hot blue/white stars to cooler orange/red giants and supergiants. Constellations are patterns of stars in the night sky used for navigation.

Stars appear small from Earth but are actually giant balls of hot gas like hydrogen and helium. Constellations are groups of stars that were imagined to represent figures or objects, with the oldest descriptions coming from a Greek poem in 270 BC. Seasonal changes cause constellations to appear in different parts of the sky at different times of year due to Earth's orbit. Meteors are streaks of light from small objects burning up in the atmosphere, while comets are rarer mixtures of dust and ice that give off light as they approach the sun.

Constellation
Constellations are groupings of stars that appear to form patterns in the night sky. Ancient cultures like the Babylonians and Greeks studied constellations and used them to mark seasons and in their myths and religions. Today, 88 constellations are recognized by astronomers, including Ursa Major, Orion, and Scorpius. Certain constellations like Ursa Major can be seen all year from any location in the northern hemisphere and are called circumpolar, while others like Orion are only visible during certain seasons.

Ursa major andreaaudreyireneenya_1eso
Ursa Major is a constellation visible in the northern hemisphere and is also known as the Great Bear. The seven brightest stars form an asterism known as the Big Dipper in North America and the Plough in the UK. These stars include Dubhe and Alkaid and are useful for finding Polaris, the North Star. Several bright galaxies can also be found in Ursa Major. In mythology, Ursa Major has been associated with a bear from Greek mythology where Zeus transformed a woman into a bear and placed them in the sky.
Astronomy and myths
This document provides an overview of mythological astrology. It begins with definitions of astronomy and astrology, noting their differences. It then discusses experts in Greek astronomy and their use of constellations. The main section describes the planets according to Greek mythology, including their namesakes in the Olympian pantheon and characteristics. Additional sections cover other constellations not part of the zodiac, the signs of the zodiac, and how the planets were associated with the calendar. In general, the document examines how Greek mythology and religion influenced early understandings of astronomy.
Stars
A star is a huge ball of gas held together by gravity that produces energy through nuclear fusion in its core. This energy radiates out from the star as light, making it glow and shine. Stars come in different sizes, colors, and temperatures, like our Sun which is a yellow star of average size and heat. A star shines through nuclear fusion in its core converting hydrogen to helium and releasing huge amounts of energy. This energy radiates out from the star, making it shine.

Constellations
Constellations have been observed and documented since 1000 BC by early civilizations like the Babylonians, with the ancient Greeks recording many myths associated with patterns of stars. Constellations refer to recognizable patterns of stars often relating to Greek mythology, while asterisms are subsets within constellations that form other shapes, such as the stars that compose the Big Dipper within the larger Ursa Major constellation. Some constellations exist merely as shapes people imagine they see within clouds or patterns of stars, like the fictional "Eddie the Head" believed to bring misfortune and death to those who glimpse it.
Costellations
Constellations are groups of stars that appear to form patterns in the sky, though the stars are not physically close together. There are 88 officially recognized constellations. Polaris, also known as the North Star, has been used for navigation for thousands of years as it appears nearly stationary in the sky and always points north. Polaris is actually a triple star system composed of three stars in orbit around each other. Virgo is the second largest constellation and is associated with harvest. Orion is one of the most prominent winter constellations, depicted as a hunter, with his dog Sirius at his feet. According to Greek mythology, Orion boasted that nothing could kill him but was later killed by a scorpion

It is a slide showing the general information as well as some interesting information about stars that a student needs for his school.
Constellations
The document discusses stars, constellations, and the universe. It explains that the universe was created by the Big Bang over 13 billion years ago and contains many galaxies. Stars are large spheres of gases like hydrogen and helium that form from spinning balls of gas. They come in different colors depending on their temperature. There are over 100 billion billion stars in the universe. Constellations are patterns of stars in the sky that different cultures have associated with characters or animals. Star charts can help identify constellations by connecting the stars and accounting for their positions from different locations on Earth.

Note on Lyrid meteor shower April-2013
The Lyrid meteor shower peaks on the morning of April 22, 2013 with 10-20 meteors per hour visible. While the waxing gibbous moon will make viewing difficult, the best time is after moonset before dawn. To see meteors, find a dark location away from city lights and look up for at least an hour around the peak time. Meteor showers occur as the Earth passes through debris left by comets in their orbits, causing meteors to appear as the debris burns up in Earth's atmosphere.

Study skills combo
The document provides tips for effective test taking and study skills. It discusses how to approach different types of exam questions like multiple choice, essays, and those involving key words. Specific strategies are outlined like using diagrams to solve problems, answering easiest questions first, and leaving space between written responses. Effective study techniques include using flashcards, quizzing oneself, rewriting notes, and finding a quiet study space. Working with others in study groups can also help reinforce learning.
Day1 a
Mr. Kosten outlines classroom expectations and procedures for his science class in three sentences or less per topic. Students are expected to learn science, have their name on all work, use a planner, be quiet during lessons, raise their hand to speak one at a time, contribute to group work without complaining, stop when the teacher says silent, not touch other students' lab materials, and keep notes, homework, and grades separated in a binder. The classroom website provides all necessary materials and quizzes, and students are reminded their job is to learn without making excuses.
Day 1
1. The document outlines classroom rules and procedures for a science class including expectations for the teacher to teach science and students to learn science.
2. Specific rules are provided for noise level, pencil sharpening, bathroom use, speaking, group work, getting the teacher's attention, lab safety, binder organization, and quizzes.
3. The last sentences indicate that complaints, excuses, and not doing anything are unacceptable.
Cancer
Cancer is a disease where cells divide uncontrollably and can spread to other parts of the body. It discusses the immune system's role in cancer and outlines the main stages of cancer progression. The document also briefly mentions pet cancer, chemotherapy, and electrotherapy as cancer treatment options.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is often caused by bacteria and can lead to death. Symptoms include fever, chills, chest pain, coughing phlegm, and shortness of breath. Treatments can last up to 3 months to clear the infection from the lungs.
Programmed death2
Programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis, is an essential process for development and removing damaged or old cells. Apoptosis helps shape tissues during development and removes cells exposed to DNA damage from sunlight, viruses, or chemicals. As cells divide and age over time, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes called telomeres get shorter with each division, triggering apoptosis after a cell has divided approximately 30 times to remove old or damaged cells.
Pro biotics2
This document discusses microbes and probiotics, references rat studies on microbiomes, and includes two multimedia file attachments about metabolomics and distinguishing between dangerous and friendly microbes.
Diabetes2
Diabetes affects over 285 million people worldwide and can be categorized into three main types: Type I which affects 15% of cases mostly in young people and requires insulin injections; Type II which affects 85% of older individuals and may be treated through insulin injections, exercise or drugs if insulin production is low or not functioning; and gestational diabetes which impacts 5% of pregnancies. Treatment for Type I is insulin injections while Type II can be managed through insulin injections, exercise or medication depending on insulin levels and functioning.
Asthma2
Asthma is a condition that affects over 300 million people worldwide and causes 250,000 deaths per year, where the airways become inflamed and narrowed, triggered by things like early infections, pollution, immune development issues, illness, exercise, stress, airborne irritants, allergies, and acid reflux. Treatments include new therapies and medications that are fast-acting for acute symptoms or long-term to control the condition.
Allergies2
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to harmless substances by producing antibodies. The first exposure causes the body to produce IgE antibodies that stick to basophil cells, and the second exposure triggers those cells to release histamine, causing allergy symptoms. Common types of allergies include allergic rhinitis (sneezing and stuffy nose), asthma (restricted airways), atopic dermatitis (skin irritation), and food allergies which are treated by eliminating the offending foods like milk, eggs, chicken, and peanuts from the diet.
Aids2
Immunology discusses HIV/AIDS, including that HIV is the virus that causes AIDS when it destroys T cells in the immune system. The document outlines how HIV enters cells through macrophages, integrates into the cell's nucleus, and hijacks the cell to produce more viruses. It notes that AIDS is diagnosed when the T cell count drops below 200 and that there were over 33 million people infected with HIV globally in 2009, with around 3 million new infections and 2 million AIDS-related deaths that year, making it one of the top causes of mortality.
Blood diseases2
The document summarizes three blood diseases: Leukemia causes a massive increase in white blood cells due to radiation, carcinogens, or viruses, with symptoms of chills, fever, and pain, and is treated by replacing bone marrow; Agranulocytosis causes low neutrophil cells due to drug use, with symptoms of fever and mouth issues, treated with antibiotics; Mononucleosis causes abnormal lymphocytes from the Epstein-Barr virus, with symptoms of fever, tiredness and enlarged spleen, treated with a month of rest.
Blood cells2
The document discusses the different types of white blood cells, including lymphocytes (T cells and B cells), monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils. It provides the percentage of each type of white blood cell in blood and their relative sizes. Each white blood cell type has a different role, such as lymphocytes forming immunity, monocytes becoming macrophages, eosinophils responding to parasites and allergies, and neutrophils being the first to infection sites.
Immune response2
The document discusses the immune response process. During a primary response to an antigen, there is a latent period followed by an exponential increase in IgM antibodies and then a declining phase with IgG antibodies produced. Some B cells become memory cells. Upon a secondary exposure, the immune response is faster, stronger, and involves memory cells, resulting in less severe symptoms or no symptoms from the real disease. Vaccines cause a primary response to mimic a secondary response from the real disease.
Complement cellularimmunity2
Complement is a group of proteins that can punch holes in cells and attract white blood cells. It functions through opsonization, chemotaxis, and cell lysis. The complement system has an alternative pathway that does not require antibodies. Cellular immunity involves macrophages engulfing antigens through endocytosis, preparing antigen pieces, displaying them on the surface, and showing them to T helper cells to signal T killer cells to swarm the site.
Antibodies2
This document discusses the main types of antibodies (immunoglobulins) in the human body: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. IgG is the most common antibody type found in blood and tissues. IgM is the first antibody produced during an initial immune response. IgA functions in external secretions, while IgD plays a role in immune system development. IgE helps fight parasites but can also trigger allergic reactions when overactive.
Organs2
The body has innate and acquired immunity. Innate immunity is protection present at birth and includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, cells like macrophages, and chemicals like enzymes. Acquired immunity develops after birth and involves cells like T and B lymphocytes that kill specific germs or produce antibodies, as well as organs like the bone marrow and thymus that help mature immune cells.
Introduction2
The immune system protects the body from infection and disease. It consists of organs like the spleen and thymus, as well as white blood cells. The spleen destroys old red blood cells while the thymus develops cells that attack viruses.
Heat transfer2
Molecules are always in motion. The energy level and speed of molecular motion determines the state of matter and temperature. Heat transfer occurs as warmer objects transfer
Energy2
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change and exists in two main forms: potential energy which is stored energy and kinetic energy which is energy in motion. The document outlines the main types of energy including mechanical, thermal, chemical, nuclear, electrical, and electromagnetic energy. Mechanical energy involves the motion of objects, thermal energy is heat, chemical energy involves atomic bonds, nuclear energy is within atoms, electrical energy is the movement of electrons, and electromagnetic energy is light.
