You can find the Orion Nebula if you know where to find the Orion belt. If you have not heard of or not seen the Orion's belt, look for three stars in a line. If you have time and think about it one night, look at the sky on a clear night and you can find the Orion Nebula below the Orion's belt. It may look like a nothing with your eyes but if you look through a telescope you will see a cluster of stars.
Brown dwarfs are thought to be formed the same way stars are formed. They are defined by mass and known to be bigger than our planet, Jupiter. Brown dwarfs emit mostly infrared light but as time passes, the brown dwarf loses thermal energy, which also means that they are cooler than most stars. Brown dwarfs are found in clouds of dust and gas which is hard to see through so they can only be found looking through an infrared telescope.

A star nursery would be the cloud where multiple new, or young stars are forming. This is an area with many young stars in the beginning stages of becoming a star.
There is both; a camera and a telescope. Infrared telescopes allow us to look into space and show through the dark part of interstellar dust, or star forming clouds with wavelengths.
How can we find the Orion Nebula in the sky?

DeleteAfter stars are formed, do they move around the Universe? Or do they remain in the same area?
ReplyDeleteStars are within a galaxy. And within that galaxy the stars orbit the center of the galaxy.

DeleteWhy, in the molecular cloud, is it made up of molecules and not atoms?
ReplyDeleteMolecules are more easily detected. H2 and CO make up the main part of this cloud.

ReplyDeleteWhat entails an area to be called a "star nursery?"
ReplyDeleteA star nursery would be the cloud where multiple new, or young stars are forming. This is an area with many young stars in the beginning stages of becoming a star.
DeleteHow does infrared imaging work? Is it a telescope or camera or both?
