Explain in detail:
Why can radio astronomers observe at any time during the day, whereas optical astronomers are mostly limited to observing at night?
Why must astronomers use satellites and Earth-orbiting observations to study the heavens at X-ray wavelengths?
Why do astronomers believe that solar nebula was rotating?
What is the minimum core temperature needed for any star begin hydrogen core fusion to helium?
When is any star considered to be fully activated, and when is any star considered to be “middle ageâ€�
Compare the differences between a large and small star, concerning the “elemental fusion†cycles they would produce.
Concerning stars that die (the end of their fusion days), what is usually the difference between the outcome of a small star and the possible outcomes of a large star (ignore binary star considerations).
What is the difference between “electron degeneracy†and “neutron degeneracyâ€� What type of stellar objects would be an example of each?
