Structures of Galactic Collisions In the visible universe, there is one type of event that is often responsible for a good deal of the varied phenomena we observe across the cosmos. A type of event whose effects are both destructive and creative. This event is the interaction of two or more galaxies. The results of a galactic interaction are so varied that each event is unique. Therefore, only a select few examples will be described in the following pages. An examination of the term “galactic interaction”
Future of Our Galaxy Galactic Millenium What Does the Future Hold? (adopted from an article by Greg Laughlin and Fred Adams, "Celebrating the Galactic Millennium", Astronomy November 2001) Not too long ago, we were looking forward to the New Millennium. To many of us, this was an important event of our lives. On a larger scale, however, the New Millennium looks insignificant. "If we adopt an astronomical perspective, however, a much larger and more distant celebration remains on the schedule-the
Introduction This report will investigate Virgin Galactic and how they achieve high customer satisfaction and competitive advantage whilst looking at their service operations management and investigate how these all function and how they affect customer satisfaction and their competitive advantage. Virgin Galactic is an organisation, which is part of the Virgin companies; it is one of the latest projects that Richard Branson has undertaken. ‘It was founded by Richard Branson in 2004... that releases
have no electrical charge and interact only via the weak nuclear force. They are products of radioactive decay processes, and thus are produced abundantly in our Sun, our atmosphere, and in other astrophysical sources such as supernovae and active galactic nuclei. Millions and millions of them are crossing through the Earth every second, but only very few of them will interact with the Earth. In practice you can say they are invisible. But fortunately we can detect them by building a very large detector
gravitationally bound to the Milky Way like moons around a giant planet. The two Clouds of Magellan are like binary stars that gravity draws together to form a satellite galaxy. Of all the galaxies in the entire Universe these are the closest to our galactic system. About 170,000 light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy lie the Large Magellanic Cloud. With only 15 billion young bright stars, it is just one-quarter the size of our own galaxy. During the winter of 1987, a Canadian astronomer, Ian Shelton
Attichitcuk, the husband of Mallatobuck, and the father of Lumpawarrump. Wise and sophisticated, he has a great deal of technological savvy. Chewbacca is known for his great strength and loyalty. While Chewie is perfectly able to understand the galactic-standard language Basic, he is unable to speak it due to his species' vocal structure. He communicates in his native language, Shyriiwook, while Solo always speaks to Chewie in Basic. Chewbacca was played by actor Peter Mayhew in the Star Wars movies
on the planet has proved to be next to impossible, with only a small fraction of the attempted landings ending in success. Over the years there have been several different designs of Martian landers that have attempted to slip past the proverbial “galactic ghoul” protecting the planet Mars. However, few of these designs have fared successful at landing smoothly. These technologies have ranged from the original Viking using aero braking and rocket power, to the Mars Pathfinder mission’s novel air bag
The World Connected Born in the mind of an MIT professor in the early years of the 1960's, "the internet-or net, for short"(Jonscher,154)-has been maintained as the information-technology center throughout the closing of the twentieth century connecting people and ideas throughout the world in little more than the stroke of a key and faster than the blink of an eye . Imagine the possibility of transferring one bank account to another with the click of a mouse-from New York to Hong Kong, or buying
The Exploitation of Little People Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful maiden Pallid Powder amidst seven dwarfs.There was a dwarf who worked in a sideshow display at the local circus, a dwarf who was frequently cast by Galactic Studios for the dancing baby parts, and all the other dwarfs locked themselves in their isolated cabin in the woods so that the nearby villagers wouldn’t laugh.These snippets—both fictional and real—are all most people know about the lives of dwarfs, or little

In the novel The Legend by Marie Lu, the United States has been separated into two: the Republic and the Colonies. The two factions are fighting for control of the country. The novel’s story takes place in the Republic. The two main characters of the novel, Day and June, live in two complete different worlds; Day is the Republic’s most wanted criminal, and June is the Republic’s most beloved prodigy. They are brought together because of the murder of June’s brother, Metias. The prime suspect is Day
Quasars the Galactic Powerhouses Quasi-stellar radio sources, more commonly known as Quasars, are the most luminous, and some of the most powerful objects that we have ever observed in our universe. Although Quasars are beautiful to look at, the method that goes into creating them is a continuous process of death and destruction. Quasars may be billions upon billions of light years away, but that has not stopped them from having serious scientific implications, the most famous being that they
Honestly, this had to be a dream, right? Well, dream or not, I lived on the Galactic Storm for a full month before my parents came back. It was actually pretty neat. I still thought it was all a dream or something, so I figured, hey, why not enjoy it? I put my combat skills to use and learned how to fight with laser blasters and
(Balick and Brown 1974) which is now strongly believed to be the revelation of a supermassive black hole of a mass of (3 imes 10^{6} M odot ) that seats in the rotanional center of the Galaxy, according to the measurments of star motions near the Galactic Center (GC). Moreover it was the year that the first detection of gamma-rays from a compact region of size (sim 10') around Sgr A* with the INTEGRAL ( extit{International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory } ) observatory in the energy rage from 20
June just yelled at the Glorious Elector of The Republic, to be a better politician. She brought up the topic of separating emotions of going into war, “You have to make decisions that break your heart, that hurt and deceive, that no one else will understand. It’s your duty”. That isn’t always the case, where you have to rise up the courage to tell someone in power, that they are doing their job wrong and even if they are living their life wrong. June Iparis explains how to use justification “When
Governments In Star Wars V.S. Governments in the Home In the movie "Star Wars" their exist many different forms of government. In this essay I will be comparing those forms in the movie to the ones found in the home. I will be starting with the most basic form of government and working up to the most complex. The most basic form of government is anarchy, The total absence of government. In the movie the best example of anarchy is Yoda, living by himself
Whenever a film adaptation is being made, validity and usefulness of fidelity is always a concern. In the first essay, I discussed how being faithful was the most important thing a director can do. But in this case, I will explain why it is okay for an adaptation to not be faithful. A lack of faithfulness and an increase in originality can actually do a film justice. An original adaptation has the ability to make scenes apparent that may have been overlooked in the readings. Being too faithful
Samus Aran sits in an almost empty room in an office building on the planet Anadyr V. A glowlamp provides the only light in the room, a small aurora near the northwest side of the room. She stares into a HoloVision, watching the recent news. A Galactic Federation cruiser, Nova Lord, has gone missing in the Tetra Galaxy, near the outskirts of the planet Arcterra in the Alimbic Cluster. The last known contact was three days ago, with Federation Commando Ron Wyatt issuing a distress signal, indicating
define, what is philosophy? I would say it is the “answer” to all questions, which facts have not been able to solve. Take the following question into consideration: “How do active Galactic Nuclei form and evolve?” A scientist will easily answer that question using scientific facts, which have demonstrated how Galactic Nuclei form and evolve. Now ask yourself these questions: “What is Logic” or “What is reality?” There is no amount of facts that could provide a concrete on what these actually are
representations are almost the same. There was the Supreme Chancellor which is similar to the President, they had a clone army which is like the U.S. Army, they had the Jedi council which would have been similar to the Justices in the Judicial Branch, and a Galactic Senate which would have been similar to the United States Senate. Padme Skywalker said in the movie, “So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.” The leaders of the government are not making the best choices which is ruining the government
