What is space?

Space is almost absolute vacuum in which all objects in the universe move. The
planets and stars are small points compared to the vastness of space

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST for its acronym in English), also known as orbital
telescope Hubble is a telescope orbiting outside the atmosphere, in a circular orbit around the
Earth at 593 km above sea level, with a period orbital between 96 and 97 min. Thus named in
honor of the astronomer Edwin Hubble, was launched on April 24, 1990 in misinSTS-31 as a
joint project of NASA and European Space Agency inaugurating the Great Observatories
program. The telescope can produce images with higher optical resolution of 0.1 arcsec

The NASA space shuttle (space shuttle or space shuttle) is the first reusable spaceship and
the first capable of putting satellites in orbit (although a low orbit), and bring them back to the
surface. Each shuttle has a projected lifespan of 100 launches. One of the original purposes of
the program was to build and maintain a space station, International Space Station this purpose
is a reality

The Helios prototype aircraft,

powered by solar energy and piloted by remote control, traces its flight over
the Hawaiian Islands. In August 2001, this plane reached a record,
surpassing the altitude of 29,524 meters (96,863 feet). Helios, designed by
NASA engineers has proven concepts that could be applied to an aircraft

Launch vehicles used by the U.S. include the

Titan 4 and Atlas rockets 5 and the space shuttle. These vehicles carry space probes
and artificial satellites into outer space. The space shuttle has also transported people
and modules for the International Space Station. Credit: Illustrations by Oxford

Launch vehicles used by Asian nations include the

PSLV rocket, India, Long March 3B, China and H-IIA, Japan. These vehicles carry
space probes and satellites into space. The Long March rocket carrying the spacecraft
also Zhengzhou, which is used for manned missions. Credit: Illustrations by Oxford

Launch vehicles used by European nations

include the Ariane 5 rocket from the European Space Agency (ESA, for its acronym in
English) and Proton and Class A, of Russia. These vehicles carry space probes and
artificial satellites into outer space. Class A The rocket also carried people into space,
and the Proton rocket has carried modules International Space Station. Credit:

Flying freely in space, an astronaut

becomes a human satellite. A jet propulsion device, which was first used in
1984 allows astronauts to maneuver outside the spacecraft without a safety line

A brown dwarf is an object of sub stellar mass,

unable, therefore, to maintain continuous nuclear fusion reactions of hydrogen in its
core. However, little has chemical differentiation by depth, as it has suffered at some point in
their lives convection from the surface to its center because of weak fusion reactions of residual
isotopes. The upper limit of mass is relatively well known, being comprised between 75 and 80
Jupiter masses (M J)

A white
dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a small star composed mostly of electron-degenerate
matter. They are very dense; a white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun and its
volume is comparable to that of the Earth. Its faint luminosity comes from the emission of
stored thermal energy. In January 2009, the Research Consortium on Nearby Stars project
counted eight white dwarfs among the hundred star systems nearest the Sun. ] The unusual
faintness of white dwarfs was first recognized in 1910 by Henry Norris Russell, Edward Charles
Pickering, and Williamina Fleming, the name white dwarf was coined by Willem Luyten in 1922

According to
the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, a red dwarf is a small and relatively cool star main sequence,
either late spectral type K or M. This type is most of the stars, and its mass and diameter values
of less than one third of the Sun (below 0.08 solar masses are called brown dwarfs) and a
surface temperature of less than 3,500 K.

A galaxy is a massive system of gas clouds, planets, dust, and perhaps dark matter and
energy, gravitationally bound. The number of stars forming a galaxy is an accountant, from
dwarf to 10 7, to the giant, with 10 12 stars (according to NASA the last quarter of 2009). As part
of a galaxy are substructures such as nebulae, star clusters and multiple star systems.
