Cosmic Measurement

5-28-2024


Cosmic measurement precisely sizes and times the universe—from planetary diameters to spacetime expansion. Each method has uncertainties and systematics, but together they form a coherent picture of cosmic scale and structure.

Stellar Life Cycle

1-1-2024


Stars form when cold gas and dust collapse into a protostar that ignites hydrogen fusion. The stellar cycle—birth in molecular clouds, fusion-driven evolution, and death as remnants—recycles matter and creates the elements needed for planets and life.

Stargazing

11-22-2023


Stargazing is a quiet gateway to perspective: a simple practice that turns clear nights into classrooms. For students, it builds scientific literacy and spatial thinking while offering a restful balance to study. Look up, learn the patterns, and let the cosmos reframe what matters.
