What does it mean if your questions have recieved 1 star?
"Your questions have recieved 1" -and then there is an icon of a gold star. Yet none of my questions have been starred under the starred questions tab? What is this?
And what is the difference between having questions recieve stars and having a starred question. Thanks.|||It means that another answerer has thought your question was interesting and has given it a star. If the answerer has fans and contacts then it also alerts them to the question and they can answer it as well if they wish.
There are no extra points connected with the star, it is just a goodwill gesture on the part of the answerer.|||It means that somebody found ur question interesting...I think...or a question u answered was found interesting by somebody..

How do i download the hoth mission on star wars the force unleashed?
I wanna know because i have star wars the force unleashed for the xbox 360 and i have xbox live but i don't know where to download the hoth mission.So how do i download the hoth mission?Plus is it free or do i have to pay for it?|||Go to your Xbox Live Dashboard and make sure the game is in. Once the game icon loads and says Play Game press Y and you'll see some options come up, choose downloads and you'll see it. It costs about 10 bucks not really worth the price because it only takes about 45 minutes to beat, but it is really fun.
I want to know the velocity of a star, like Sirius or something. How would I find it?
I want to know the velocity of a star, like Sirius or something. How would I find it using the proper motion and the radial motion of the velocity?|||Google the star by name or look it up in Wikipedia. Odds are you will only find the radial velocity relative to Earth, which is based on Doppler shift of the star's spectrum.
Tangential velocity is more difficult to measure. For example, Wikipedia lists the radial velocity of Serious as -7.6 km/s. That's about 1.6 AU/y. Sirius is 2.64 ps from Earth, so a tangential velocity of 1.6 AU/y would be about 1.6/2.64 = .6"/y or 1'/century. After measuring the change of direction relative to distant galaxies, we would have to take into account all the other relative motions, like orbiting the galaxy.|||If you know the translational velocity and radial velocity, the 3-D velocity is
V = 鈭歔Vr虏+Vt虏]|||First decide what you would compare it to. Its speed would have to be measured against something else, since it is a relative motion.

How do I join the Star Alliance Airline Group and get the Star Alliance frequent flyer miles card?
I'm going to travel on United later this year in the summer, so I want a star alliance card. It's the same as a United Frequent Flyer Miles Card right? Only it encompasses all the airlines under Star?|||There is no such thing as what you're asking for. Membership in any of the frequent flier programs in the Star Alliance will allow you to earn and redeem on that airline as well as the rest of the Star Alliance partners, but there isn't such a thing as a Star Alliance membership (that is, one that isn't affiliated with a single airline, but rather the entire alliance).
In other words, you can (and probably should, if that's the airline you'll fly the most) join the UA Mileage Plus program and earn miles not only on UA, but also any of the other Star Alliance partners -- that will achieve the goal of what you want to do.|||Join United's program. If/when you fly on another airline that is a Star Alliance member just give them the United number.

What would happen if a rogue neutron star collided with our sun?
What would happen if a rogue neutron star (average size) traveling at 1% of speed of light collided with our sun?
Would it go straight through? Would it cause a supernova?|||Yes, it would go through. The total column of solar material it encountered in its few square kilometers of cross section would be tiny compared to its mass. In the few seconds it would take to go through, it would not accrete much mass, but its surface would be many, many millions of degrees when it came out the other side. It would radiate copiously in gamma rays, enough to sterilize the planets.
It might cause a supernova if it got stuck inside the sun, but that won't happen. My guess is that it wouldn't actually do much long-term damage to the Sun. It would wreck havoc with the planets, however.|||My guess is it would either go through or at least get stuck somewhere inside of the sun since the neutron star is so much more dense that our sun. The B field might come largely into play since they are so great in Neutron stars. It would be unlikely to go nova. The mechanism for supernova (while unknown) is very much correlated to the halt of fusion reactions in most stars, which would not occur simply because something collided into the star.

If the original star rotated once in 35 days, find the angular speed of the neutron star?
Under some circumstances, a star can collapse into an extremely dense object made mostly of neutrons and called a neutron star. The density of a neutron star is roughly 10^14 times as great as that of ordinary solid matter. Suppose we represent the star as a uniform, solid, rigid sphere, both before and after the collapse. The star's initial radius was 6.0脳10^5 (comparable to our sun); its final radius is 18 km .|||This is probably an exercise in conservation of angular momentum with classical mechanics intended to be applied.
Simply require that angular momentum before (=Lb) equal angular momentum after (=La). Let the angular rotational rates before and after be Ab and Aa respectively. Likewise for the radii, let's use Rb and Ra. Then:
Lb = k*(Rb^2)*Ab = La = k*(Ra^2)*Aa. The constant k doesn't matter here for our purposes. We see the quantity to be conserved is actually R^2*A. Solve for Aa:
Aa = Ab*(Rb/Ra)^2. Now just plug in the values!!
I get Ab = 2*pi radians/ 35 days = 2.08*10^-6 rad/sec. so that
Aa = (2.08*10^-6rad/s)*(6*10^5km/18km)^2 = 2,310 rad/sec.

What church did the Western star Roy Rogers attend?
Roy Rogers was a clean-cut, decent man who became a huge star in the 40's and 50's by staring in Westerns. As decent in real life as he was on screen, he and his wife and co-star, Dale Evans, practiced what they preached, lead outstanding lives, stayed away from scandal, and adopted needy children. A star who actually took being a hero to thousands of children seriously, Roy also took his Christianity seriously. Anybody know what denomination he and his family were associated with?|||Roy Rogers considered himself "christian" and the denomination was not that important to him as long as the church taught about Jesus Christ and the need for salvation in him. He was associated with Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and others. See page 108 of this reference:

How do you care for a shooting star hydrangea?
I just bought my first plant for my first apartment. It is a shooting star hydrangea and is beautiful. I am knew to gardening and I want to know if anyone knows how to care for it. Any tips that are more than the traditional ones found on the sticker on the plant and those on the internet would be greatly appreciated!|||Hydrangeas are acid loving plants. Use mear acid by Miracle Grow. You can also toss your "used" coffee grinds by the base of the plant. The majority of all soil is deficent in acid and most soils are on the alkaline side. I don't know what zone you live in so this advice is general. It isn't a good idea to place this plant in direct "hot" sunlight for a long period. Good morning sun from sun up until about 11:00 is ok. But hot afternoon sun will scorch the leaves.
Keep your soil moise but do not overwater. Overwatering will kill any plant. Water only when the soil is drying out.

this will be a little tough to keep in the apt constantly.... can be done, but will take great care on your part and really great light.... it would be much happier outside in spring and summer and fall, for sure!!.... got a patio or balcony in the shade?....
also, if this plant is in bloom NOW and it's winter where you are, the plant has been forced to bloom in the greenhouse and it will be a good long time before it will bloom again, as you don't have the chemicals necessary to force bloom... it will have to recover and get back on it's own cycle to bloom again.... and that might mean going outside...
just keep it healthy, and green and have lots of patience with it....
for a first plant, you chose a tough one.... please don't get discouraged if it proves too hard to handle... get a pothos vine next time... green, no flowers, loves you even if you forget to water it now and then.....|||whats that

What is physically going on inside a star when it is on the main sequence?
What is physically going on inside a star when it is on the main sequence?|||The inside of a star is a churning mass of very hot gas. It churns in a manner not unlike a pot of boiling water on the stove. As you dive deeper the pressure and temperature increase until you reach the core. Here hydrogen atoms are being crushed together so strongly they suddenly and explosively join together to form helium. They resist this until forced by the heat and pressure around them. When two hydrogen atoms combine it happens all at once and huge amounts of heat and radiation are released. This is called "Fusion". It is this continuing fusion which gives the star its heat and light.
Eventually, of course, the hydrogen will be used up and the star will leave the main sequence to become a red giant.|||nuclear fusion is the short answer...|||Stable Hydrogen Fusion|||Hydrogen is being fused into helium by the proton-proton sequence in the center of a star while it is on the main sequence.

What is the difference between a dying star and a black hole?
What is the difference between a dying star and a black hole. No humour please? Thanks.|||A black hole will only form for stars that have a mass greater than or equal to approximately 25x the mass of our sun.
Let me back up a little.
Stars are basically a huge ball of gas that is burning at astronomically high temperatures. The only thing holding this giant bomb together is its own gravity: it is so massive that it holds itself together.
Eventually, though, enough of the star has burned up so that its mass drops enough so that the explosive force of the nuclear reactions push it outward - this is a supernova.
When stars are 25x more massive than our sun (or more), there is so much mass that all the mass collapses back in on itself, forming a black hole.
A dying star will never collapse back into a black hole; that is the essential difference.|||wow

The black hole is the last stage, before heat death, of a large star. The reason it is called a black hole is that the gravity of the object is so intense that light cannot make its escape velocity.
The life cycle of a star really does depend on how large a star is. A star the size of the sun will never become a black hole. Instead what will happen is that, in about five billion years, the mainstage cycle of the sun will end, as it runs out of hydrogen fuel for its fusion reactions. For a brief time, the Sun will switch to helium (for about a hundred million years.) During this time, the sun will grow larger and larger so that all the space between the Earth and the sun where you see it today will be entirely taken up by the red giant version of our sun.
When the sun runs out of helium it will collapse into a small white dwarf star. It will slowly deplete any remaining energy until it goes fully dark and cold in about twenty billion years. It will lack the mass to form a black hole, but may eventually get sucked into one, as the universe starts to go dark.
Larger stars - the ones that go black hole, end their red giant cycle by exploding. This is called a nova or supernova. What remains is a very dense object called a neutron star. If a neutron star is big enough, it will collapse into an even denser black hole.
The smaller a star is, the longer it will live. So smaller stars like ours go a long time, and then don't turn into a black hole.

What season one Star Trek episodes are best as an introduction to Star Trek?
I have a friend who has never seen Star Trek, and in order to prepare him for the upcoming movie, I'd like to show him a few episodes from the original series. I have the remastered first season, and am trying to decide which to show. Which would be best? I might show him three or four.|||Wow! Tough one.

What is the difference between a dwarf star and rogue planet?
NASA recently announced the discovery of a fairly cold Y dwarf star:
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/nasa-spots-chilled-stars-cooler-human-body-004551421.html
For years, however, astronomers have also speculated that there may be rogue planets roaming around in space, unattached to a star. My question is, how do astronomers differentiate between a Y dwarf star and a roaming gas giant planet? Or are they the same thing?|||http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=548
It's apparently not a simple distinction.
I was curious also after reading the same NASA announcement.
Here's something I found from Cornell U.|||The distinction is based upon how the object formed, and how much mass it has.
Stars are formed by the conglomeration of independent gas clouds in interstellar space (not near a star) under the influence of gravity. Planets are formed when materials around a star condense around a rocky or icy core.
In order to have high enough temperatures in the core to burn hydrogen, an object needs to have a mass of at least 75 or so times that of Jupiter. Anything more massive than that is automatically considered a star.
This is a very insightful question, however, because as our observation abilities have improved, the lines between stars and planets become blurry. It is not always clear whether a body formed in stellar orbit or in interstellar space. Therefore, astronomers are currently using the following rule of thumb when an body is not orbiting a star:
The boundary between brown dwarfs and stars is still around 75 times the mass of Jupiter, as above, but the boundary between brown dwarfs and planets is set at around 13 times the mass of Jupiter, since that is the mass at which objects reach high enough central temperatures to burn deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen which undergoes nuclear burning at lower temperatures than regular hydrogen does).|||A star has nuclear fusion going on in its core. A planet, whether it is a rogue planet with no star, or whether it is planet orbiting star, does not have nuclear fusion going on in its core because of insufficient mass and pressure to initiate nuclear fusion at the center of the celestial body.
http://mbeck.hubpages.com/hub/the_differ鈥?/a>|||A dwarf star is massive compared to a less massive rogue planet though the latter might look voluminous. Such a star can be even more high in density and I don't need to go into how a dwarf star came about here.|||A Y dwarf star is a star that isn't very hot, and a rogue planet is a planet that isn't attached to a star, they both float alone in outer space.|||a dwarf star is small and a rogue planet is big.
i called some guys a nasa and thats what they told me to tell you.
hope this helps :)|||it's chemical composition|||According to current astronomical theory, planets and stars are created by essentially the same process: matter accretion. They are pulled together by gravity, and they accrete (that is, pull in and incorporate) the matter around them. The essential difference is one of mass: the star has more mass, the planet less.
As a mass accretes, it gets hotter. This is because infalling matter gives up potential energy when it falls toward a gravity well; another way of looking at it is that there is more friction for an object coming into a more crowded area, and friction means heat. All accreted objects heat up. A star is one that heats up so much that the predominant gas present in the universe, hydrogen, fuses into helium. This "ignition" of nuclear fusion, allowing the star to produce more energy than it absorbs, is it's hallmark. If accretion stops before that happens, the body is a planet. Large ones are termed "brown" because they are radiating heat produced by accretion, but have no internal fusion heat production capability of their own. In this sense even the Earth is a brown planet, as it still radiates its accretion heat.
Heat from internal radioactivity (fission) is regarded as no different from accretion heat. There's just not enough fissiles in the galactic dust to build a fission star.
A dwarf star is just a small star. It might even be extremely hot, such as white dwarfs (the remnants of stars like the sun at the end of their lives) or a neutron star, which is dwarf in the extreme. Likewise, a rogue planet is any planet that is not orbiting a star, not necessarily one that has grown large enough to approach stardom.

What is the difference between a star and a planet, as in why does one form instead of the other?
Why does a star form in one area and a planet in the other? What makes the difference? Is it temperature? Mass? Make up?|||Mass. The difference is simply how much matter coalesced to form that particular body. The largest planet in our solar system is of course Jupiter by a long way. However the smallest star is about 80 times heavier.
To be considered a star it has to be hot enough to sustain hydrogen fusion. The heat comes from the matter coalescing in the first place and it is directly related to the mass of the body. Below 80 Jupiter masses the temperature never gets high enough to allow hydrogen fusion to occur.|||After a star forms, it creates a gravitational field which draws in rock. The rock circles around the sun and becomes a planet. The difference is around 5000 kelvins.

How rapidly does a star's absolute magnitude change by goes through a rapid change in luminosity?
A Sun-like star goes through a rapid luminosity change between stages 8 and 9, when the luminosity increases by about a factor of 100 in 10^5 years. On average, how rapidly does the star's absolute magnitude change, in magnitudes per year? Does this change would be noticeable in a distant star within our lifetime?|||Many stars are variable in brightness for intrinsic reasons (activity within the star as opposed to eclipsing binaries). Cataclysmic variables, such as SS Cygni and U Geminorum, can increase in brightness by four or five magnitudes ( a hundredfold brightness change) in a matter of hours, and do so every few weeks. At those times you can actually see the star visibly brighten with the naked eye. That's one of the reasons I'm hooked on observing variable stars!
What order should I watch the Star Wars movies in?

What is the difference between pulsars and neutron stars? If a pulsar is a neutron star, is every neutron star?
What is the difference between pulsars and neutron stars? If a pulsar is a neutron star, is every neutron star a pulsar?|||A pulsar is a rotating neutron star that can produce radiation by spinning its powerful magnetic field through space. (There are also 'accreting pulsars' which funnel matter from a companion star onto their magnetic polar caps as they rotate.)
A neutron star uses up a lot of its rotational energy moving its magnetic field around this way, and and so it gradually slows down. When it slows down enough, it no longer radiates very much energy, and so it is no longer considered a pulsar. This usually happens within a few million years. If a neutron star had only a weak magnetic field, it would also not be a pulsar.
Most neutron stars in the Universe are old enough and tired enough that they are no longer pulsars. A recent paper estimates a thousand million old neutron stars in our Galaxy, even though the number of known pulsars is about a thousand.|||A pulsar is a rotating neutron star whose "lighthouse" like beam of energy sweeps past the Earth. If its beam doesn't intersect with Earth, for whatever reason, it's not called a pulsar. Pulsars must all be neutron stars because no other object can spin that fast without tearing itself apart.|||For additional information, please see also the following:

How can a red star be brighter than blue star?
Can you think of a way in which a red star could be more luminous (actually give off more light) than a blue star?|||By being A LOT bigger.
In this particular question, being close to the solar system DOES NOT count as making it more luminous. It only counts as making it APPEAR more bright, but it does not count as making it actually BE more luminous.
That red star would need to be a red giant or a red supergiant. For instance, red Betelgeuse is a lot bigger than blue Bellatrix, and Betelgeuse is about ten times as luminous as Bellatrix.
The red main sequence stars are red dwarfs. They are never brighter than the blue main sequence star types.

Antares is a magnitude 1.05 and is 600 lightyears away.
If Antares and Betelgeuse were only 9 lightyears away they would both far outshine Sirius.

What happens to a star after it explodes?
If a star explodes (a star can explode, right?), then after a long period of time, the light seizes to shine, correct? What happens to a star after it explodes?|||.|||it becomes a black hole|||Since stars are made up of mostly hydrogen which is fused into helium, when it explodes (which it does), all the hydrogen, helium and other heavier elements get blown into space. Have you seen some of the 'dust clouds' pictures from teh hubble? well, that's stuff from other stars blowing up. over time (in theory) all that blown out star stuff will group back together and perhaps make another star...|||Proper motions of 24 stars and sur le mouvements des grands meteors|||The final phase of a stars life depends on it's size and mass. Average stars like our sun will go nova and collapse into a brown dwarf emitting a feeble light. A medium star will go nova and collapse into a dense neutron star or pulsar with very strong gravity and rotate at a very high rate and emit x-ray pulses. A massive star will go nova and collapse into a very small mass with tremendous gravity that is so great that nothing can escape, not even light. This is called a black hole.|||stars don`t explode they implode|||After a star explodes it becomes a "dwarf".It means a huge mass in a small volume. A dwarf, subject to certain conditions(like "Chandrasekhar limit") may become a black hole-a hole in the space having infinite density which prevents light from being emitted from it.|||Black hole, or empty space.|||They can blow up completely.
They can condense into black holes which decays after time.
They can condense into a smaller star and decay over time.|||The result can be: a neutron star, a black hole, or it will stay a white dwarf (for a 'while', while generating succeeding explosions, until it's out of (gaining enough) energy for a new explosion).
A star explosion, could be a nova, supernova or hypernova.
Wikipedia, supernova:
There are several different types of supernovae and two possible routes to their formation. A massive star may cease to generate fusion energy from fusing the nuclei of atoms in its core, and collapse under the force of its own gravity to form a neutron star or black hole. Alternatively, a white dwarf star may accumulate material from a companion star until it nears its Chandrasekhar limit and undergoes runaway nuclear fusion in its interior, completely disrupting it. Note that this second type of supernova should not be confused with a surface thermonuclear explosion on a white dwarf, which is called a nova.
Wikipedia, nova:
If a white dwarf has a close companion star that overflows its Roche lobe, the white dwarf will steadily accrete gas from the star's outer atmosphere. The companion may be a main sequence star, or one that is aging and expanding into a red giant. The captured gases consist primarily of hydrogen and helium, the two principal constituents of ordinary matter in the universe. The gases are compacted on the white dwarf's surface by its intense gravity, compressed and heated to very high temperatures as additional material is drawn in. The white dwarf consists of degenerate matter, and so is largely unresponsive to heat, while the accreted hydrogen is not. Hydrogen fusion can occur in a stable manner on the surface through the CNO cycle, but the dependence of the helium fusion rate on temperature and pressure mean that it is only when helium is compressed and heated near the surface of the white dwarf to a temperature of some 20 million K that a nuclear fusion reaction rapidly converts a large amount of the helium into other heavier elements.[1] The enormous amount of energy liberated by this process blows the remaining gases away from the white dwarf's surface and produces an extremely bright outburst of light. The rise to peak brightness can be very rapid or gradual which is related to the speed class of the nova ; after the peak the brightness declines steadily.|||it becomes a black hole and after it will split up into particals called photons

What is it about a variable star that astronomers, starting with Hubble, wish to measure?
What is it about a variable star that astronomers, starting with Hubble, wish to measure?
-the brightness and the period of its change
but why?|||Cepheid variables all pulsate, but at different rates.
It was discovered that the period of these variable stars (that is, the exact time between the pulsations) was proportional to the brightness of them. In other words, the longer the period, the brighter the star. Because of this relationship between the period and the brightness, we can tell how bright the star is from a certain distance (which is 32.6 light years).
Now, if we know the exact brightness of a star from that distance, and we also know how bright it appears to us, then its distance from us can be worked out.
This is why the period and apparent brightness are important. The period tells us its "absolute magnitude" from a distance of 32.6 ly, we can see its "apparent magnitude" from where we are, and there's a formula for using those two numbers to work out the distance.
This is why Cepheid variables are useful for working out hte distance to star clusters they belong to, and even close-by galaxies. Hubble found a variable in the "Andromeda Nebula", and when he measured its distance using the above relationship he found it was too far away to be in our galaxy. Therefore, it must have been a different galaxy altogether. Because the relatinship wasn't as well understood then, he was wrong about the distance, which was actually half again what Hubble had calculated. But that's how he did it.|||To determine the nature of the stars photosphere. Note that spectroscopic measurements were/are also taken to determine the 'chemistry' of the photosphere.
Both Luminosity and Spectral analysis is used to determine if the star is a multiple system. We can only measure the mass of a staff if it is a binary or multiple system.
Edit: There are more variable stars than just cepheids! Hubble did attempt to use Cepheids to measure the distance to nearby galaxies BUT misidentified most of them and got the distances wrong.

How do you calculate how much more luminous a star is than another?
If an M star has a temperature of 3,000K and an O star has a temperature of 30,000KIf an M star has a temperature of 3,000K and an O star has a temperature of 30,000K, and the O star is 100 times more massive...how much more luminous is the O star?|||Luminosity= T^4
Where T is the temperature
M star= 3,000^4= 8.1 脳 10^13
O star= 30,000^4= 8.1 脳 10^17
8.1 脳 10^17/(8.1 x 10^13) = 10,000
the O star is 10,000 times more Luminous than the M star.
Where T is the temperature
M star= 3,000^4= 8.1 脳 10^13
O star= 30,000^4= 8.1 脳 10^17
8.1 脳 10^17/(8.1 x 10^13) = 10,000
the O star is 10,000 times more Luminous than the M star.
What does the crescent moon and star symbolize for muslims?
I always see the crescent and star associated with Islam.
What does it stand for or mean?
Does it have a meaning?|||The cresent moon and star is placed on the top roof of a mosque since the reign of Ottoman in Turkey. He made it because cresent moon and star are both the creation of Allah in this universe which decorate the sky and it will give light in the dark of a night and the star can be used to find a direction.|||It doesn't really have a meaning at all. There has never been any real symbol for islam. The very first muslim states used mainly solid colors in their flags. It wasn't until the reign of the ottoman empire that the crescent and star was used in the banner of a Muslim state. And since the ottoman empire controlled the muslim world for a very long time, Christian Europeans naturally began associating the crescent and the moon with the faith islam.
But some Muslims reject the symbol because it is rumored to have a pre-Islamic pagan meaning ( moon worshipping and all that stuff).|||They (crescent moon and 5 pointed star) are just a representative symbol to the building , mosque (means Islam). There is no other meaning (in faith). But one can see crescent moon as saver of life and soul (Religion of Islam) and 5 pointed star as 5 pillars of Islam.

How long does it take a star to form?
Does a star form over a long period of time, or does it form quickly? Would a new star slowly begin to brighten or would it be like flipping on a light switch? Do stars grow during their lifetime by consuming matter, or are they more or less their final size when born?
I realize the actual process of forming a star probably take a long time, I more interested in what happens once it has collected enough matter/mass to ignite.|||Stars start off as giant nebulae of very cold (%26lt;10K) gas. I am sure you have a basic understanding of how these clouds collapse so I shall try to answer the specifics you asked.
No, when they are born they are tiny. Very tiny. A usual core forming in the middle of the cloud can being the process of fusion when there is only 1/5 times the mass of our sun, and then spend a much longer time collecting the rest of their mass to become a newborn fully fledged star.
Here is a little more detail about how it reaches that stage. What I am about to describe takes about 1 million years. When the collapsing cloud reaches 10^-13 grams per cubic centimeter (about 20 billion hydrogen molecules per cm^3), it becomes dense enough to trap infra-red radiation from within. This allows it to start warming up. It continues to contract, but slows as the pressure of heat starts increases, and comes to a halt when it reaches about 2000 times more density (about 40,000 billion H2 per cm^3). The core now has a mass of roughly one hundredth of a solar mass, and extends over a volume of several AU.
When the temperature inside reaches about 2000k, the molecules are broken into constituent atoms and a new phase of collapse occurs, and a new "inner" inner core is formed. This stops collapsing when it reaches about 10,000K, and the atoms become a plasma. It become opaque to radiation and this is the point when it is refered to as a star.
Its size doesn't change very much from now on - it is about the size of the sun today - but its density - at the moment about on thousandth of the sun - is what will continue to increase. All of the gas of the first core takes about 10 years to fall into this protostar, bringing it up to about 0.01 solar masses. Then the rest of the cloud continues to fall into it bringing its mass up to its final mass. It will grow during this period to about 4 times the radius of its final size, but slowly shrink to its final size over 10 million years or so. Most of the energy it released until this time was due to the gravitational potential energy it released as it collapsed, but eventually it settles in the nice balance of gravity and pressure from the fusion of its core.
As for when it "lights up". It never really does so. It becomes brighter slowly over time, and observers from outside will hardly notice due to all of the dust surrounding it. When fusion begins it will become noticeably brighter in a short time, but due to the surrounding gas, it will still take millions of years to reach its full glory.|||People have seen protostars inside dust clouds start to glow in infrared. But from a great distance, it is hard to judge the exact time of start of fusion, the "ignite" time you are asking about.
If accretion continues at rates of 10^-5 to 10^-3 solar masses per year, it is not until about 40 solar masses (taking from 400,000 to 4000 years) to form the nebula around the birth site, will thermonuclear ignition happen.
A new star will blow away a lot of gas and dust from radiation pressure, losing a lot of mass until gravity and internal pressure reach an equilibrium.|||Before the star ignites, it will have already started glowing in the IR from the release of gravitational energy as it contracts (protostars, and the Herbig-Haro objects associated with star-birth regions). Once it ignites, it will take a long time for the first photons from its center to make their way to the surface (in sun's case, a million years on the average); so slow brightening would be more of a case, spread out over thousands of years, as nuclear reactions spread throughout the central part of the star and the number of photons released increases until equilibrium is reached.|||Approximately 10 million years.

Where should I start with the Star Wars expanded universe comics and graphic novels?
I really like comics and would like to check out some of the Star Wars stuff, but it can be a bit overwhelming. I am 23 years old, so I do not want anything too childish. I also am a bigger fan of the Dark Side. I have only watched the movies, so suggestions would be very much appreciated.|||There are many potential jumping-on points for the Star Wars comics. Here are a few series to check out first:
Darth Maul: This is a four-issue miniseries that features the titular character doing all of the awesome stuff that he should have done in the movie.
Dark Empire (along with Dark Empire II, and Empire's End): This series of miniseries is what started the "Dark Horse Comics" version of the comics franchise. It's got everything you'd want in a Star Wars series: Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie, Boba Fett, huge world-wrecking machines, and a villain everyone thought met his end in "Return of the Jedi"...
Star Wars: Legacy: This is an ongoing series that recently ended. It takes place 125 years after "Return of the Jedi". The Empire rises again and overthrows the Galactic Alliance with the help of a new order of Sith Lords (there are a LOT more than two). The Empire is then likewise taken over by the Sith, ushering dark times for the Galaxy Far, Far Away. Smuggler Cade Skywalker struggles against his destiny but has to come to terms with the fact that he might just be the only one who can save the galaxy from the evil Darth Krayt. The story doesn't require a lot of knowledge of the other EU books (although they certainly enhance the experience). Overall, it's well-written, well-drawn, and as dark a Star Wars story as one could hope for.

The best idea has been said so far, draw a very very light star and then darken the areas you want darkened.
Also you could start by drawing or printing a really nice star of another sheet of paper. Turn the paper over and fill in the area on the other side of the image with graphite. Lay that over your image and trace the star. It works just like carbon paper.
In fact if you have any carbon paper that would skip the first step : )

The best idea has been said so far, draw a very very light star and then darken the areas you want darkened.
Also you could start by drawing or printing a really nice star of another sheet of paper. Turn the paper over and fill in the area on the other side of the image with graphite. Lay that over your image and trace the star. It works just like carbon paper.
In fact if you have any carbon paper that would skip the first step : )
How does luminosity of a star relate to pressure and distance?
How does luminosity of a star relate to pressure and distance? I am doing dimensional analysis and want to check if my equation is right. Thanks in advance|||well the more pressure, the more luminous. distance does not distort colour much, but it make reduce luminosity i guess.... i dunno its been 3 years since astrophysics class!
How to land a 5 star restraurant server position in Dallas?
I have server experience and interested in waiting tables at a 5 star restaurant in the Dallas, TX area. Any tips or knowledge about job openings?|||Yes! There are a couple tricks to getting a server position at a 5 star restaurant (I have worked at a couple, that will remain unnamed, here in DFW). They are a little harder than most, because you can make a career out of waiting at a 5-star restaurant.
The first is obviously to know someone. If you work at a decent steakhouse (like Bobs steak and chop house, or Papa bros), and are very good at your job, eventually you will meet all the people that matter (whether it be chefs, restaurant managers, food reps, etc...), and you will have a better position to get into a top restaurant. Surprisingly enough, taking culinary or food service classes at DCCCD is a FANTASTIC way to do this, because everyone that teaches (and a large portion of the students) work in the top levels of the restaurant business.
The second is to be persistent. There are few openings at great restaurants (unless you get in before they actually open, which is always easier), and you may have to contact the restaurant every couple weeks or months to see if a position has opened. Also, you have to be willing to take a lower position and then work your way up (start as bus boy or host, and then work your way to server).|||Honestly...It helps to know someone.
Beyond that...I know it sounds bad, but the better looking you are the better chance you have in Dallas. If you happen not to born looking like a model, fake it. Hot hair cut, nice skin blah, blah...
Try Palomino at The Crescent. They kinda work with people coming up through chains like Chili's or whatever and the tips are pretty good. You can make some good contacts there and you can easily get "hired-up" at the newer places. I know Craft, W, N9NE and others hired a lot of staff from there when they opened.
Good luck.

How are baseball players selected to the all star game?
Is it really totally by the fans? Because I've been thinking about it and usually fans of a team would usually vote for the players on their team. Therefore, wouldnt the team with the most fans have their players selected to the All-star game? But when I look around (at least in 2008) players like David Wright and Jose Reyes weren't selected for the All-star game even though they play for New York which have a lot of people, and the Mets have a lot of fans. Plus, D. Wright and Reyes are great players themselves.|||Starters are selected by the fans

What is the largest known star in the universe?
I am sure this question has raised many eyebrows but they have never got around to asking, like me. It would be a great help if you could also compare the largest known star to the size of our Sun.|||The largest known star in the universe is VY Canis Majoris.

How do I become a star basketball player and get recruited to college?
I am in 8th grade. I am a above average player but I want to become a star in high school and get recruited to play in college and eventually reach my dream to be in the NBA.
Any tips, plans, strageies, drills, links, and anything else is welcome
plz and thx!|||Try this tips:
DURING PRACTICE:
1. Play pick-up games at least 4 times a week.
2. Lift weights to make you stronger.
3. Jog every day (for stamina)
4. Work on your lateral movement (movement of the feet).
5. Rest a lot.
DURING THE GAME
1. Work hard while inside the court (make every second count).
2. Move without the ball.
3. Don't be a ballhog (pass to an open teammate).
4. Defend and rebound like there's no tomorrow.
G0t it? Go0d!!!!!|||work damn hard, be the first person at practice and the last to leave, every bit counts, work on your fitness so you can play as many minutes as your needed so if you ever have to play a whole game your capable of that, pass, play like lebron and not like kobe, college scouts prefer players getting 25 points and 10+ assists rather than 40 points and 2 assists, they see a lot of good scorers every day, they dont see anywhere as near as many quality pass first players and if you are lucky enough to get a college scholarship dont miss the oppurtunity to get a good degree that will be a back up if you dont make it to the nba, dont take your eye of the dream but plan for a back up in case you dont make it for whatever reason such as injury etc

2.look to pass to open players first
3.dont ignore your degree|||Well just practice and join the team each year. High school ball is harder than grade school.

What remains after a dwarf star such as our own has cooled off?
When it reaches the end of it's life, it will swell, engulf most of the inner planets, and then throw a lot of it's mass into space. Leaving a small smoldering cinder in it's place.
But what happens when that cools down? What is left when a star shuts completely down and freezes?|||The universe freezes over. Seriously... a dwarf star is very dense and has an enormous heat capacity. At the same time it has a very small surface area (for a star). So it takes a long time for the white dwarf to cool down. The total luminosity goes with T^4, so every time the temperature goes down by a factor of 10, the time to cool down by the same factor goes up by a factor of 10000. While this is not quite correct for very low temperatures (the heat capacity is not a constant for T-%26gt;0 but starts to fall quickly once quantum mechanics sets in), the white dwarf will stay classical and thus "warm" for a long time (long as in 10^30+ years). Moreover, if dark matter annihilates inside stars, there will be a heat source independent of stored heat and the remnant nuclear processes, crystallization etc.
I believe these stars will stay warm longer than it takes for them to collide and slowly form black holes, the last stage of matter in the universe. And in the end all the dwarfs will be merged to black holes and for the coming era up to 10^100 years black holes will rule.|||depending on the size of the star

How much mass is required to form a star?
With the discovery of extrasolar planets that are larger than some stars, I was wondering: how much mass is required to trigger nuclear fusion in a body, making it a star rather than a gas super-giant planet? If anyone knows the answer, please give it to me in Jupiter-masses so I can get a better idea. Thanks.|||lower limit brown dwarfs are hypothesized to be around 12-13 times more massive than jupiter. interesting thing about objects this size, generally, if you add mass to them, their radius gets smaller (gravity wins).
brown dwarfs don't maintain fusion, only fuse dueterium for a short period, and can sometimes be referred to as "failed stars"
i think red dwarfs, the lower limit for a star to maintain hydrogen fusion, is somewhere between 50-80 jupiter masses.
not sure where they fit in the radius scheme of things.|||it's not the size that determines it to be a star or not. If it's burning then it's a star. If it's not then it;s a planet or planetary object.. i don't know the sizes for the exact classifications sorry. however your answer lies here

What Star Wars books should I read up to the Legacy of the Force series?
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and I really want to read the Legacy of the Force series, but I'm trying to read a lot of the major Star Wars books before then so I'll have a better idea of what happened before then. I'm currently reading the Thrawn trilogy, and I've read the first 2 Jedi Academy books. What other books should I read in order to fully understand the Legacy series?|||I am also a huge star wars fan and am currently reading the book star by star which is the 10th book in the New Jedi Order series and am on my way to reading the Legacy of the Force books too. But truth be told I am enjoying these books a lot! The plot is really good and each book has me totally addicted. Anyway, as to what books you should read, here is my list of books I think you should read before Legacy. I will also put one of these things * by each book that is really optional and really don't need to read it to understand Legacy, but is still a great read! Also this is completely in order of the star wars timeline of when all these books take place. So here goes...
The Truce at Bakura* (takes place right after ROTJ and is a great read)
X-Wing Series* (haven't read them yet, but hear they are awesome and will probably read them some time in the future) Includes:
-Rouge Squadron
-Wedge's Gamble
-The Krytos Trap
-The Bacta War
-Wraith Squadron
-Iron Fist
-Solo Command
-Isard's Revenge
-Starfighters of Adumar
The Thrawn Trilogy (one of my favorites and I think a need to read b4 NJO and Legacy)
Includes:
-Heir to the Empire
-Dark Force Rising
-The Last Command
The Jedi Academy Trilogy* (Haven't read, might be good, some people said it wasn't, Instead I would read the next book called I, Jedi)
I, Jedi (only SW book in 1st person. Main character is Corran Horn who is one of my favorite characters and is in the NJO series so you may understand him a bit more in that series if you read this book.)
The Crystal Star *********** (this is a completely OPTIONAL book! My advice: Don't read it. I read two chapters of this book and i couldn't stand it! save yourself the misery and stay away from this book!)
The New Rebellion* (Great read, read it if you want, doesn't matter if you don't)
The Hand of Thrawn Duology (Great books and would definitely read) Includes:
-Specter of the Past
-Vision of the Future
Survivor's Quest and Fool's Bargain* (Read it if you want, they're mostly about Luke and Mara, though not a necessary read.)
Junior Jedi Knights Series and the Young Jedi Knights Series* (Both series I have not read yet and I don't know if I want to. They might be good but I don't know. Either way, I haven't read them and I have had no trouble understanding the New Jedi Order series. Not going to list them cause there is a lot and a waste of time if you really wanna read Legacy as much as I do!)
The New Jedi Order Series (This series is required if you have any hope of understanding the Legacy of the Force Series. But not to worry, it is absolutely great! There are a few if not many depressing moments but there is some happy moments. There's lots of action, with either x-wings, blasters, or lightsabers. There is also a lot of philosophical stuff about how one should use the Force, in which I find rather interesting. I can't express how much I am enjoying this series, and I hope you like it as much as I do at the moment)
Includes:
-Vector Prime
-Dark Tide I: Onslaught
-Dark Tide II: Ruin
-Agents of Chaos: Hero's Trial
-Agents of Chaos: Jedi Eclipse
-Balance Point
-Recovery (e-book you might be able to find online, but is included as the prologue in the paperback version of star by star)
-Edge of Victory: Conquest
-Edge of Victory: Rebirth
-Star by Star
-Dark Journey
-Enemy Lines: Rebel Dream

-The Unseen Queen
-The Swarm War

Well there you go, those are my recommendations of what to read and I hope I was helpful! And sorry it was so long I kinda got carried away and I have nothing to do at the moment except answer questions! Anyway I hope you enjoy the books! |||Rupublic Commando series will help you later in Legacy
|||Wow, you really know your stuff.
|||new jedi order onward realy i mean yes the others have good stuff to know but that has a lot to do with whats going on
|||To understand what happened to some of the major characters and the reasons for some of their motivations, you will need to read the New Jedi Order series and the Dark Nest trilogy. The events in these books most heavily influence the happenings of the Legacy of the Force series.
In addition, events from the Jedi Academy trilogy and the Corellian Trilogy are referenced, but don't influence the series quite as much as New Jedi Order and Dark Nest.
These books will give you plenty of reading material (approx. 25 books) before you can even start reading the Legacy of the Force books with full understanding. You can probably get by and follow the story without reading these books, but so much happens in the New Jedi Order that I would recommend reading at least those books.
Other Star Wars books that I enjoyed and would recommend, but won't really help you with the Legacy series are:
Darth Bane: Path of Destruction and Rule of Two
Republic Commando series: Hard Contact, Triple Zero, True Colors, Order 66
The Han Solo Trilogy: The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, Rebel Dawn
X-Wing series (9 books)
Tatooine Ghost
I, Jedi
The Truce at Bakura* (takes place right after ROTJ and is a great read)
X-Wing Series* (haven't read them yet, but hear they are awesome and will probably read them some time in the future) Includes:
-Rouge Squadron
-Wedge's Gamble
-The Krytos Trap
-The Bacta War
-Wraith Squadron
-Iron Fist
-Solo Command
-Isard's Revenge
-Starfighters of Adumar
The Thrawn Trilogy (one of my favorites and I think a need to read b4 NJO and Legacy)
Includes:
-Heir to the Empire
-Dark Force Rising
-The Last Command
The Jedi Academy Trilogy* (Haven't read, might be good, some people said it wasn't, Instead I would read the next book called I, Jedi)
I, Jedi (only SW book in 1st person. Main character is Corran Horn who is one of my favorite characters and is in the NJO series so you may understand him a bit more in that series if you read this book.)
The Crystal Star *********** (this is a completely OPTIONAL book! My advice: Don't read it. I read two chapters of this book and i couldn't stand it! save yourself the misery and stay away from this book!)
The New Rebellion* (Great read, read it if you want, doesn't matter if you don't)
The Hand of Thrawn Duology (Great books and would definitely read) Includes:
-Specter of the Past
-Vision of the Future
Survivor's Quest and Fool's Bargain* (Read it if you want, they're mostly about Luke and Mara, though not a necessary read.)
Junior Jedi Knights Series and the Young Jedi Knights Series* (Both series I have not read yet and I don't know if I want to. They might be good but I don't know. Either way, I haven't read them and I have had no trouble understanding the New Jedi Order series. Not going to list them cause there is a lot and a waste of time if you really wanna read Legacy as much as I do!)
The New Jedi Order Series (This series is required if you have any hope of understanding the Legacy of the Force Series. But not to worry, it is absolutely great! There are a few if not many depressing moments but there is some happy moments. There's lots of action, with either x-wings, blasters, or lightsabers. There is also a lot of philosophical stuff about how one should use the Force, in which I find rather interesting. I can't express how much I am enjoying this series, and I hope you like it as much as I do at the moment)
Includes:
-Vector Prime
-Dark Tide I: Onslaught
-Dark Tide II: Ruin
