Stars in universe.

in #teamserbia6 years ago

Have you ever looked up into sky and wondered how many stars are there in space? This question is very difficult to answer, cause even scientists don't know exact answer to it. Stars are not scattered randomly through space, they are gathered together into groups also known as galaxies. Astronomers tells us that there is bout 100 thousand million stars in the Milky way alone, and outside of Milky way there is millions and millions other stars in galaxy.
Someone said that counting stars it's same as counting little sand grains on beach. Look up into sky and you will see a few thousand stars with your naked eyes.

Brightest star in the sky is Sirius, it's placed next to the Sun. Distance between earth and Sirius is 8.6 light years. You can even see Sirius against deep blue sky while Sun is still above horizon. Ancient Egyptians based their calendar to this star on its first summer sightings at dawn.

Age of stars are determined by astronomers by looking at their spectrum, motion though space and luminosity. After determining this, they use information of star's profile and compare star models that show what stars should look at various points of their evolution. Sun, as the brightest star, is old about 4,6 billion years.

Everyone knows about falling stars or other called shooting stars. There is a old story that tells you when you see shooting star to make a wish, i'm still doing that, sometime my wish will be true maybe. :) Falling stars are not real stars, they are little pieces of dust that impacting Earths atmosphere and burning up. Scientific name of falling stars are actually meteors. Size of burning trail of meteor depends of how fast it was going and the angle of struck the atmosphere.

Super su slike, pretpostavljam da si ih uhvatio ljeti jer se teško viđa ovakvo nebo usred zime.

Hvala veliko. :)
Leti sam ove fotografije napravio. :)

Nekad davno me zanimalo, danas samo gledam nebo dal pada kiša.
Uživaj u pogledu. Pazi da te ne zaboli vrat hehehe.

Zanimljivo je gledati u nebo kad je vedro napolje, uvek nesto novo vidis. :)

Thank you very much. :)

Awwww, the stars. I can always look at the stars... Photos are really good. I can not believe you managed to take them with a camera.

Thank you. I remember years back at summer, my friends and i were laying down on grass for few hours and looking at stars and enjoying the view. :)

kontam da je nalepse oticiu u selo, gde nema ul;icnog osvetljenja i uzivati u kako kazu "milion zvezdica rangiranom hotelu". moja je to praksa godinama, kada se zvezde padalice najave. :)
slike su strava, samo cepaj :)

Hvala veliko.
Na moju srecu, zivim na selu, tako da to dozivljavam svako vece kada je vedro napolje. :D

iskreno, ako mozes da zivis tamo, mislim imas posla, to je sjano. zamisljam svoj zivot za jedno 20 godina u svom selu, mali raj za svakoga. :)

Nadam se da ce biti tako, da ne moram ici odavde. :)

@divisionbell ništa ti ne fali i da odmah odeš. Svi bi nešto u starosti na selo. Idi u punoj snazi. A ne ceo život po fensi kafićima a na kraju ja sam ljubitelj prirode pa ću da umrem u selu. :)
Živeli!

Prekrasne slike! Ja san snimio slicne kad sam bio u australskom outbacku... nemozes si zamisliti koliko sam ih vidio s čistim okom! E nevjerojatno... budem i ja uskoro postao.

Hvala veliko.
Ocekujem uskoro da vidim fotografije. :)

Постаје све теже наћи место без „светлосног загађења“, @miroslavrc. Добро си ово урадио.

Hvala.
Poprilicno je tesko naci, mada moramo se snalaziti. :)
