Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey

For extra credit while I am at camp answer these questions on a separate piece of paper from the Cosmos episode Sisters of the Sun (April 27) and turn it in my Friday (May 2nd).  Don't forget to get a parent signature.

1. What is one of the legends of the Pleidis (seven star constellation)? 

2. Compare and contrast Annie Jump Cannon and Cecilia Payne in detail... discuss their importance.

3. What are stars mainly made of?

4. What will eventually happen to our Sun and the nearby planets?  Explain its different stages.

5. What is a super-nova?

6. What is a hyper-nova? Give an example.

See you all on Monday May 5th. -Mr. Kerr
