Sometimes in binary systems, mass flows into a hot accretion disk around the neutron star and causes the emission of x rays. 14. Astronomers have found compacted objects
Physical size = angular size x 2 x distance / 360 • Understand that constellations are groups of stars as seen from the Earth – the stars may not be close to each other at all • Our view of the celestial sphere is determined by where we stand on the Earth o Study the diagrams that show the path of stars as they rise and set and how those paths appear to differ depending on your location on the Earth • Know what causes the seasons (tilt of the Earth’s axis to it’s orbital plane) o Depend on how Earth’s axis affects the directness of sunlight o Sun’s altitude is also higher in Summer and Lower in Winter Summer solstice – highest path Winter solstice – lowest path Equinoxes – sun rises at exactly due east and sets exactly due west • Review the Moon’s phases • New Moon • Waxing (Right side of moon visible) o Waxing
The illusion is based off of the moon’s size and the objects and landscapes connected with it. When away from objects the moon then has even more of an illusion to you than normal because it has a problem with consistency of
She is thin and lustreless, But I love her. I know the moon, And this is an alien city. AMY LOWELL * a main road Structure 3 verses varying lengths. Each verse is paragraphed as it changes perspective. No rhyme.
Besides Nick, there are no honest characters, no good hearted people. It even turns out that Gatsby was corrupt: “He [Gatsby] and this Wolfshiem bought up a lot of side-street drug stores here and in Chicago and sold grain alcohol over the counter. That’s one of his little stunts. I picked him for a bootlegger...” (127) On the side of the upper class, there are characters like Tom and Daisy: "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made..." (170) Tom is cheating on Daisy, and has no remorse and does not care how she feels about it. He even has the nerve to say, “I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife...you can count me out...” (124) Daisy is portrayed to be an innocent character yet the author shows us her dishonesty when she gives her heart to whoever will give her more attention.
Jay Gatsby sells alcohol illegally to acquire his fortune, which is cheating in an attempt to become an impressive and recognized man. “I picked him for a bootlegger the first time I saw him and I wasn’t far wrong.” This shows that his attempt at sly cheating was still recognized, and at some point he was bound to be caught. Gatsby's house is an empty and artificial place, because it was originally built to impress Daisy with his so-called wealth, and this is a sign of a corrupt way of 'winning' love through money, he buys expensive things and entertains large groups of society because of his incommunicable desire for something greater. “Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all.” This quote shows Gatsby’s carelessness for people other than Daisy, and for the parties themselves. Jay’s final way of cheating to attain his ambition is more literal, in which he tempts Daisy into having an affair with him, showing his disregard for her marriage and for societal acceptability.
Chanelle Ugalde AP Brit lit Ms. Tanaka October 3, 2013 The Great Gatsby: “The Symbolism of the Green Light” (2009 Prompt) In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald shows a variety of techniques throughout his book, giving us hints and clues to who Gatsby could really be and why he’s doing what he’s doing. Jay Gatsby is the main character in the book, and had expressed a deep love for another character, who would be Daisy Buchanan. The dilemma was shown that Gatsby and Daisy don’t have a chance of being together because of different social status and past relations. In the beginning of the book, Fitzgerald had mentioned the “Green Light”, but it wasn’t to any large significance until towards the middle and end of the book. Well to Gatsby,
The different types of spectra are continuum spectrum, absorption spectrum, and emission spectrum. Continuous spectrum looks like a cross-section of the rainbow in order of red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Absorption spectrum looks like a continuous spectrum but with black lines dispersed through it. Absorption spectrum occurs when light passes through a cold, dilute gas and is viewed through a spectroscope. The emission spectrum looks like the opposite of the absorption spectrum.
Meteorites are naturally occurring objects that originate in space and survive a fall to the ground through Earth’s atmosphere. (What are meteorites?) Most are remnants of asteroids or possibly comets. However, a few have been shown to be pieces of Moon or Mars that were launched into space by an impact event. While moving through space these objects are known as meteoroids.
