"Space Views from the Hubble Telescope." (Part 2).

The Hubble Telescope has earned its place as the flagship of NASA´s GREAT OBSERVATORIES.
The Hubble Telescope has provided us with never -before- seen image containing important evidence and NEW DISCOVERIES of a wide range of Celestial Phenomena, -including the Birth of Stars (SUNS), the interaction of Galaxies and Encounters between them, the existence of BLACK HOLES, and the possibility of Planetary Systems similar to our own.
These images have also left an indelible mark on the popular psyche, forever changing the way we understand the COSMOS.
For example, the energetic STAR WR124 is surrounded by hot clumps of gas being ejected into space at speeds of over 100,000 miles per hour. It is located in the Constellation Sagittarius 15,000 Light-Years away from Earth. This massive Celestial body is among an extremely rare and short-lived class of Superhot Stars (in this case, 50,000 degrees Kelvin) known as a Wolf-Rayet Star.
Another example, is the Tarantula Nebula. It´s located about 165,000 Light-Years from Earth in the Southern Constellation Dorado, the Tarantula Nebula is an apt name for this spiderlike formation. In the lower right-hand corner is the Star Cluster HODGE 301. While not the brightest, youngest, or most populous Star Cluster in the Tarantula Nebula, HODGE 301 is distinguished by the number of Stars that have EXPLODED AS SUPERNOVAE (the last hurrah of Death explosions of Stars); these explosions blast material out into the surrounding region at speeds of almost 200 miles per second. The Death of a Star is called SUPERNOVAE.
A Star is a SUN, in other words. Our SUN in our Earth Planet is another Star in our Galaxy. I wonder to myself: "How old is our Star: the SUN of our Planetary System??...How long will it live the way it is, nowadays??...When and How will it DIE??..." I always wonder in awe!!!...
The last interesting example I offer is "HERBIG-HARO 32".
HH32 is located about 1,000 Light-Years from Earth. A "HERBIG-HARO OBJECT" is formed when Young Stars eject jets of material back into interstellar space. Radiation from the bright central young Star has already cleared much of the dust out of the central region, thus exposing the NEW STAR to direct VIEW. The BIRTH OF A STAR, or YOUNG STARS ARE CALLED "NOVAE".


Well, I hope, you have enjoyed this Essay with vital information about ASTRONOMY ISSUES. Thank you in advance!! Sincerely, Stardust.

Dear Ms Stardust,

I loved Part 2 of your essay, as being quite informed as a Planetary Scientist as well. Yes, the Hubble has cranked out tons of exciting astronomical wonders since hitting the scene. The only corrections I have here, are from your statements I highlighted in red. Stars are stars, and, the Sun is a Star. However, all Stars are not Suns. Our Sun is a Star in our Solar System. If there are other Solar Systems, other than ours, then perhaps, they too, do have a Sun, that is a star. When stars are born, the take the name of star, and are not Suns. Thank you Stardust for sharing in my world, as I loved to read about the wonders of the universe. Take Care.

Dear Ms. Kimberly: OHHHHHH!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR READING MY WORK!! I just LOVE to see you evaluating my writings and making WISE APPRAISALS over my little work...You see, I have always liked to read about the Wonders of the Universe, Astronomy, New Discoveries, Science and Cultural Issues in general. Therefore, I spend most of the time reading New Scientific Projects, which are published in Scientific Publications and Special Magazines. My fellowman is THE ONE with a University Degree. He is also a Medical Surgeon and Scientist, and always provides me with new information around the World of Science and other very interesting things. However, I am NOT LIKE HIM so important...I am just an English Teacher Overseas (nothing too special) and a New York Certified Nurses Assistant. I met him in one of my trips, and he never let me go, afterwards. I love writing Poetry, Stories and Songs, as a Hobby. I certainly do it with a real Passion!! I enjoy participating with my little work, in this friendly Forum for Writers. I do volunteer my work in many different fields. It is My Christian Mission in this World coming from the Lord Jesus, our Saviour. I do it For Free, and I love it!! God bless you, dear Ms. Kim!! (((HUGS))) Sincerely and Most faithfully, Starry
