Below is a link to my Life Cycle of a Star story:Mychal Bobbitt **__Biting Neutron Star__**

**Looks like this one small neutron star didn’t clean the plate when it tried to consume a very large clump of matter. There is no name for the faint star but we do know it is six miles in diameter and it is so dense that it gravitational field it generate is very strong. The clump of matter the neutron star tried to eat was much larger than the star itself and it most likely originated from its blue supergiant companion star. The European Space Agency (ESA) space observatory spotted the faint star because it flared up almost 10,000 times its normal brightness. The duration of the flare allowed astronomers to estimate the size of the clump, which turned up 10 million miles across and about 100 billion times the volume of our own moon. Spectacles such as this will assist astronomers in understanding how blue supergiant stars and the way it emits matter into space** **__Glorious Nebula M78__** **The Nebula M78 is a fine reflecting nebula, its dust particles reflect the starlight that falls on them because the UV radiation from the stars that illuminate it is not intense enough to ionize the gas to make it glow. M78 can easily be observed from a small-telescope because it’s the brightest nebulae in the sky. M78 lays 1,350 light years away from the neighboring constellation Orion the hunter. The main power houses of M78 are its two brightest stars HD38563A and HD36563B, however the nebula also is home to a collection of 45 low-mass young stars that are less than 10 million years old, they are known as T T auri stars because their cores are still too cool for hydrogen fusion to start** **__NGC 4151 : Black Hole__** **Images of NGC 4151 shows the central region of the spiral galaxy, astronomers dubbed it the eye of sauron from the similarities it has to the main character of //The Lord of the Rings. The pupil of the eye is blue which the x-ray is. A recent study has shown that the x-ray emission was likely caused by by an outburst powered by the super massive black hole located in the the white region in the center of the galaxy. NGC 4151 is located 43 million light-years away from earth and is one of the nearest galaxies that contain an actively growing black hole. It offers a great chance to study how a black hole interacts with the surrounding gases of its host.//**

**__Saturn’s moon jigsaw__** **International team led by the university of Nantes, France has pieced together images gathered over six years by the Cassini mission to create a global mission of the surface of Titan. Studies and images shows a thick opaque atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen veils Titan**

**__The Orion Nebula__** **It seems like the Orion nebula still have much to show us, in which the pictures taken by Igor chekalin shows us he won first place, as the studies of this stellar nursery went on we found that it was closer than we previously thought in 2007.Astronomers discovered that the red dwarfs in the star clusters associated with the glowing gas radiate more light than previously thought. The Orion Nebula is beautiful even to the unaided eye its gases are so bright and is a real spectacle when viewed through a telescope. Igor chekalin’s composition of the Orion nebula was the seventh-highest ranking en the ESO Hidden Treasures Competition but eventually Igor’s images would be declared the overall winner. The ESO Hidden Treasures Competition gave amateur astronomers the opportunity to search the universe.**

__NGC 2841__ **Star formation is one of the most important processes in shaping the universe, a pivotal role it plays it the evolution of galaxies. In flocculent spiral galaxies such as NGC 2841 the driving force behind star formation is still unclear to astronomers. this particular galaxy features short spiral arms than the normal prominent and well-defined galactic limbs. A new device called the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) is being put to good use by astronomers to understand this oddity, the camera will be installed in the Hubble Space Telescope. Installed on the HST in 2009 during the servicing mission 4 replacing its predcessor (WFC2). Results from the images of (WFC3) shows that there are many young hot stars on the disk on NGC 2841.**

**__PLANET FORMATIONS__** The European Southern Observatory VTL and a team of astronomers has been able to study the short lived disk of material around a young star, which hints to the early stages of making a planetary system. The transition from dust disk to planetary system is rapid and few objects are caught. Early studies have showed that a faint star comparable to the sun named T Chamaeleon (T CHA) was an excellent target for the studying how planetary systems form.
