An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . THE CHANGING UNIVERSE: EVOLUTION HAPPENS! . b) Changes in Stars . One of the great discoveries of modern science is that stars (like people) live only a measurable life-time and then die. Although the lives of the stars are enormously longer than the span of a human life, we can learn about the life story of the stars by studying them at many different stages in their life cycle, from birth to death. ...

Two different versions of an image of Pluto s haze layers, taken by New Horizons as it looked back at Pluto's dark side nearly 16 hours after close approach, from a distance of 480,000 miles (770,000 kilometers), at a phase angle of 166 . ... These images are much higher quality than the digitally compressed images of Pluto s haze downlinked and released shortly after the July 14 encounter, and allow many new details to be seen. ...

... A theory suggests that a certain sub-class of gamma-ray bursts all have the same absolute magnitude. ... The author claims that this absolute magnitude is so different from that in the previous sample that this must belong to a new sub-class of gamma-ray bursts. ... To do this, there needs to be some feature in their spectra which correlates with their absolute magnitude. ... Consider a telescope which is continually monitoring a star, looking for transits due to planets orbiting this star. ...
