Observation

Observation recommendations

Below are general recommendations to make the most of an astronomical observation. For this purpose, those that apply to home observation (e.g. patio, balcony, terrace, etc.) are marked with a red circle [????], and those that apply to outdoor observation (desert, field, mountain, etc.). ) are marked with a green circle [????]; If the recommendation applies…

Stellar evolution

star formation

Stars are born from immense "clouds" of interstellar gas, which have a large size and mass. Due to the gravitational influence, one of these clouds will begin to condense and progressively join together until forming what is called an accretion disk, that is, a disc-shaped structure around this...

History and cosmology

Chronology of the Universe

The Big Bang theory, in its simplest form, tells us that about 13.8 billion years ago the beginning of space and time as we know them occurred and that everything arose from a singularity, that is, an infinitely hot spot. and infinitely dense where the laws are not applicable...

History and cosmology

Alternative cosmologies

At the level of Physical Cosmology, there is a wide range of concepts, processes and evidence that support the most currently accepted theory in this regard, the Big Bang. However, there are other models that throughout time have attempted to describe the Universe and its origin, relying on scientific arguments as well as others...

History and cosmology

Cosmological concepts

The following are some of the most important concepts in current cosmology, based on their importance in the Universe and the possible role they may play in its future collapse. Cosmic microwave background Also known as "cosmic microwave radiation", it is a type of electromagnetic radiation found throughout the Universe in…

Solar system

Moon

The Moon is the Earth's only natural satellite, the closest and best known star. It orbits the Earth in a period of about a month and rotates around its own axis in the same amount of time, so its rotation is essentially "captured" and its face is…

minor bodies

Meteors/meteorites

Due to the processes that occurred during the formation of the Solar System, a large amount of dust and debris particles were left wandering around, unable to join larger objects to form a massive object, such as a planet. Most are found in an area called the Main Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter, while others...

minor bodies

asteroids

An asteroid is a rocky object that is in orbit around the Sun, but its small size and other factors mean that they are not considered planets or dwarf planets, which is why they are also called planetoids or minor planets. The largest asteroids are a few hundred kilometers in size,…

minor bodies

Comets

Comets were already known to primitive man. The brightest ones are unlike any other object in the sky. They look like spots of light, often blurred, leaving a trail or “tail”. This makes them attractive and surrounds them with magic and mystery. Comets are fragile and small bodies, irregular in shape, formed…
