Cosmology : 5 pages in length. The concept of human beings
understanding everything about their universe is preposterous
and arrogant. We truly do not have any idea what has
transpired, is occurring or will happen within the cosmos, even
with the aid of scientific data. There are just some things that
cannot be obtained merely for the asking. The writer delves
into the deeper meaning behind the universe and discusses why
mortals are not likely to be the ones who find out the secrets of
the cosmos. Bibliography lists 2 sources. Cosmolgy.wps

A Star is Born : An 8 page paper detailing the birth of a star. A
star, like the sun, is a compiled mass of gases. In the
examination of the birth of a star we first discuss the formation
in a simple description. This is followed by a plausible theory
for the formation of our solar system, which gives a very good
look at the involvement of stars, as well as the formation and
creation of one. It has often been said that we are all made up of
the stars when it comes right down to basics, that is if one
believes in the big bang theory. This is also discussed briefly
along with a current illustration and description of red stars,
which helps to illustrate what stars are and how they can often
differ from one another. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
