Features of the poster include a calculation of the change in rise time to calculate the passage of a year, determining the life span of the major stars in the constellation, and identifying Messier objects within the region.
Black Holes And Einstein: A Commentary Of The Types Of Black Holes That Produce Gravitational Waves, Sage A. Russell
Black Holes And Einstein: A Commentary Of The Types Of Black Holes That Produce Gravitational Waves, Sage A. Russell
A with Honors Projects
Perhaps the most the notorious player in the astronomical field, objects known as black holes captivate the imaginations of scientists and average folk the world over, but as much as we adore hypothesizing about what black holes are like, there is so much that we’re only just finding out about. From 1909 until 1918, famed physicist Albert Einstein predicted many characteristics of spacetime and the effect of massive objects on it, including the notion of an energy-carrying wave moving at the speed of light that causes ripples through the fabric of spacetime, otherwise known as gravitational waves. A relatively recent …

The purpose of this project was to gather information about the stars and objects in the constellation Orion. This is a project for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College.
Taurus, Alex P. Tomaras
Taurus, Alex P. Tomaras
Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations
The constellation Taurus is featured in this poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College. Work to complete this project included calculating a ear's time by looking at the stars and their movement, plotting a graph with the azimuth and altitude, and determining the life span of the constellations stars.
Orion, Eray Ergenc
Orion, Eray Ergenc
Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations
This poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College features the constellation Orion and features information on the composition of the stars, their distances and their mass in relation to each other. Art and its inclusion in Greek mythology are also included.
Leo, Andrew P. Woolley
Leo, Andrew P. Woolley
Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations
The purpose of this project was to understand how information is gathered about stars, constellations, and galaxies, specifically the constellation Leo. Information gathered for this project includes how a star's position can be used to calculate the length of the year and how the mass and spectral type of a specific star can show when the star will die. This is a project for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College
