Michelle was drinking her cup of coffee while checking her lessons for today. Today's lesson is quite interesting but the lectured would be too long and she hoped that her students would not get bored. She patiently waited for her students to come. She glanced at the classroom checking if everything it fine. Alas! she heard laughter and noises outside the door. She waved her wand letting her students come in. "Come in! Come in!" She said gently. "Now to do were going to look at nebulas or nebula... or nebulae whatever you want... originally this term was used to to describe a fuzzy cloud in the sky, most 'dust clouds' people saw and now proven to be galaxies instead. Now I'm going to read to you some information about some of the nebulae known the wizards at the moment, so get your notes out." She smiled, waiting for them to do that, then she would begin. "The Orion Nebula is a glowing nebula - a glowing nebulae are named because they give off a dim red light from hydrogen from nearby stars - is just visible to the naked eye. The horse head nebula is a dark nebula and is shaped like a horses head, hence the name. The ring nebula in the constellation of Lyra is a planetary nebula and then we have the Crab nebula which is the remains of a supernova that exploded in AD 1054." She lectured. "So what do I mean by dark nebula or glowing nebula... or planetary nebula, well let me explain." She smiled. "A glowing nebula are named, like said, by the fact they give off a dim, red light as the hydrogen gas in them is heated by radiation from nearby stars, a reflection nebula have no light of their own, they can only be seen from the star light that shines off the dust in them." She exclaimed. "Dark nebulae not only have no light of their own, they also soak up all light. They can only be seen as patches of darkness, blocking out the light from the stars behind them. Planetary nebulae are thin rings of gas which are thrown about by dying stars, despite their name they have nothing to do with planets, now a wizard named Walter McPherson believed that the cause of this was tribal wizards using ancient magic to confuse muggles, but it was later found that the stars that were exploding and becoming nebulae was because of the extensive amount of magic that was using up their energy" She said. "That's all for today guys, and just in time to, its the end of the lesson, everyone make sure you have finished your notes, once you have done that you may go. Remember the homework." She added, as she had almost forgotten herself. Homework: RP the lesson then write me a short essay on any Nebula in the Milky Way you want.Astronomy,4,2 |

Astronomy had been a very interesting lesson last week, as they had gotten to stargaze and note down anything interesting they saw with their telescopes. Amber hoped today's lesson would be fun as well. She took her seat and watched the professor as she started to talk. It seemed like they were going to learn about nebulae. She started writing down notes as the lecture starting. Noting down facts about the Orion Nebula as fast as she could to keep up with the professor. She noted down what a glowing nebula was and what a dark nebula was, though she had some trouble picturing both. She noted down the bit about Walter McPherson as well, even though ot confused her a bit. How did stars turn into nebulae because of too much magic? Stars weren't magical, were they? The homework didn't seem too difficult, but she knew she'd have to revise the material for this lesson to really and truly understand it, as the lecture had left her quite confused. She hoped she could work on this soon before she would forget the lecture completely.

[justify]Flavio arrived to his second astronomy class of the year excited to learn more. He was pleased upon sitting down next to Amber, that the professor introduced the subject of the lesson which was nebulae. Flavio had attempted to spot nebulae in his previous astronomy lesson and did not have any luck so he was happy to hear he could learn enough about nebulae to hopefully find one in the future. Flavio got out his notebook and quill, then began writing down the different nebulae the professor was talking about. He was somehow not surprised yet surprised there were so many. The universe was an infinite place and Flavio knew that but he had not exactly paid much attention to it. He shook the realization from his head before continuing to write, listing down each kind of nebula and its traits. He thought the history of dark nebulae was interesting and also enjoyed listening to the story about Planetary nebulae. He wrote down everything he could manage before the class was dismissed. He then packed up his notebook and quill, and left the room, wondering what he would learn during his next astronomy lesson.[/justify] |
