The Stars Efficacy

                                                         …THE STARS…                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The stars are giant nuclear reactors which is born when an enormous cloud of hydrogen gas collapses, until it is hot enough to burn nuclear fuels, which ends up to produce tremendous heat and radiation. The stars usually begin as a collapsing cloud of material composed primarily of hydrogen, helium through the process of nuclear fusion. The remainder of the star inferior carries energy away from the core through a combination of radioactive and connective processes. The stars internal pressure prevents it from collapsing further under its own gravity, once the hydrogen fuel at the core is exhausted, the stars having at least 0.4 times the mass of the sun expands to become a great giant. In some cases fusing heavier elements at the shells around the core, which then the stars evolves into a degenerate form, recycling a portion of the matter into the interstellar environment, where it will form a new generation of stars into a higher proportion of heavy elements. In the centers, atoms take part by atomic collisions that alter the atomic structure and release an enormous amount of energy. This makes stars hot and bright. In most stars, the primary reaction converts hydrogen atoms into helium atoms, releasing an enormous amount of energy. This reaction is called nuclear fusion, because it fuses the nuclei of atoms together forming anew nucleus.                                             Historically, the stars have been important to civilization through out the world. They have been part of religious practices and for celestial navigation and orientation. In the 11th century, Abu Rayhan al-Burini described the Milky Way galaxy as multitude of fragments having the properties of nebulous stars and also gave the latitude of various stars during a lunar eclipse in 1019.                                                                                                            William Herschel was the first astronomer to attempt to determine the distribution of stars in the sky.                                                                                                           After a star has finished is active phase it becomes a white dwarf.                                                       In 1584, Giordana Bruno proposed that the stars were the objects like our sun. The first measurement of distance of stars was made by Friedrich Bessell in 1838 using the parallax technique, which Cygnus was measured to be 11.4 light years away.                            A red giant is as star in the process of fusing helium to form carbon and oxygen, if there is insufficient energy to make this happen, the outer shell of the star will shed leaving behind an inter core of oxygen and carbon, a remnant white dwarf. A star mass determines its luminosity, surface temperature, size and other properties as well as its evolutionary path and life time. The higher the mass, the brighter, the hotter, the larger, and shorter the life time of the star. If a star is larger than about 5 times the mass of the sun, when the hydrogen fusing stops, a super nova will take place and the rest of the material will condense into a black hole. Some stars have a surface temperature above 10,000 k or so; this star appear blue in our eyes and tends to be the hottest stars. Examples are the Eta-carinae, located about 7, 5000 light years from the sun. Eta-carinae could be as large as 180 times the radius of the sun and its surface temperature is 36,000 – 40,000 k which is about 72,000 df. A star in Orion, bellatrix, has a temperature of 21,500 k. That's even hotter; than Rigel which is in Orion also which temperature is 11,000 k.                                                                                                                Astronomers classify stars by color using a series of letters; O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. O stars are the hottest, while M stars are the coolest and are red. B stars are blue, A stars are white, and G stars are yellow. The biggest stars in the universe are the monster red hyper giants, measuring up to 1,500 times the size of the sun. The smallest stars are the tiny red dwarfs. This are stars with 50% the mass of the sun and smaller, e.g. is the closest star to the earth Proxima centauri, located just 4.2 light years away. It has 12% the mass of the sun. The diameter is about 200,000 km. It is a little larger than Jupiter, knowing Jupiter is 143,000 km in diameter. Though this isn't the smallest star ever discovered. The smallest known star right now is the OGKE-TR-1225. A red dwarf star which is part of a binary stellar system. This star is only 20% larger than Jupiter. It is 100 times the mass of Jupiter, but is only a little larger. The largest known star is the VY Canis majoris. This star is thought to be 1,800 times the size of the sun; it will engulf the orbit of Saturn.             According to Astrology, to which is the study of the movements and positions of the heavenly bodies in relation to their presumed influence upon human affairs, and is based upon an elaborate system of putative correspondences between celestial and mundane phenomena? The judicial branch of Astrology, deals with the foretelling events in individual lives by means of a horoscope, which involves the stars.                                    Astrology is on of the most ancient belief. It prevailed from earliest times among the Chaldeans, Egyptian, Etruscans, Hindus, and Chinese. It had a powerful influence in the Europe of the middle ages. In the middle ages, astrology was brought to Europe by the Arabs and in the fifteenth century the ministers of the cult had become so powerful that no court is complete without is astrologer, and no monarch would dare to feast, fast, or fight unless assured that the stars were propitious. The first attempt to study the stars and to interpret their behavior was made by the Babylonians. Astrology then originated from the Babylonians and then passed to Greece, India, china, and the Islamic lands.       Astronomy is the study of celestial bodies and the universe of which they form part, also helped to tell the effect of the stars. One of the most ancient of the sciences, naked-eye astronomy flourished in china, Babylonia, Egypt, and classical Greece. After the decline of ancient Greek culture, interest in astronomy was the preserve of the Arabs for many centuries and it was they who developed an instrument for observing the altitude of the celestial bodies and for solving other astronomical problems called the Astrolabe. European interest in the heavens, transmitted from the Arabs through Spain, reawakened in the 16th century with the work of Copernicus and Tycho, Brahe who were able to separate the science of astronomy from astrology. But it was not until 1609 Galileo's refracting telescope (invented in Holland in 1608) enabled the sky to be investigated in any detail; in 1671 Newton devised the more effective reflecting telescope. These devices provided the means for the development of descriptive astronomy, astronometry (the measurement of the position of celestial bodies), and celestial mechanics. In the 19th century, the use of spectroscopy to study the physical and chemical composition of the universe provided the basis of the new science of astrophysics and astrochemistry, Until the 1940s all observations of the heavens were made by observing the light that passed through the optical window in the atmosphere. Jansky's discovery (1932) that radio waves are emitted by celestial bodies enables the "radio window" in the atmosphere to be opened; with radio astronomy a whole new dimension was added to the investigation of the universe. With the uses of rockets, artificial satellites, space probes, and space observatories all restrictions on observation imposed by the atmosphere were enabling investigations to be made over the whole electromagnetic spectrum. But dependence on electromagnetic radiation as the source of information for astronomical investigations ended with the first moon landings and the unmanned planetary probes. This gradual evolution of astronomical instrument has been paralleled by far reaching changes in cosmology, which is known as the study of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe.                                                                       Betelgeuse is a monster star in the constellation Orion. Orion, who is often referred to as the "hunter", is also a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible through out the world. It is one of the largest, most conspicuous, and most recognizable in the night sky. Orion includes the prominent asterism known as the belt of Orion, three bright stars in a row. Surrounding the belt at roughly similar distance are four bright stars, which are considered to represent the outline of the hunters body. Apparently descending from the belt is a smaller of three stars (the middle of which in fact not a star but the Orion nebula), known as the hunters sword. The belt and the sword of Orion are sometimes called Saucepan or Potin; by the Australians and the New Zealand respectively. The belt is called Drie konings (three kings) or the Drie susters (three sisters) by Afrikaans speaker in South Africa, and is referred to as les trios rois (the three kings). In the ancient Aram, the constellation was known as Nephila. Orion descendant were known as Nephilim. The stars were associated with Osiris, the god rebirth and after life; by the ancient Egyptians. Orion has also been identified with the last Egyptian pharaoh or the fifth dynasty called Unas, who according to the pyramid texts, became great by eating the flesh of his mortal and then slaying and devouring the gods themselves. This was based on a belief in contiguous magic whereby consuming the flesh of great people would bring inheritance of their power. After devouring the gods and absorbing their spirits and powers, Unas journey through the day and night sky to become the star Sabu or Orion. The pyramid text also shows that the dead the dead pharaoh was identified with the god Osiris whose form in the sky was often said to be the constellation Orion.                                                                                                                 Orion's current name derives from the Greek mythology in which Orion was a gigantic hunter of primordial times. One story tells that Orion was killed by a giant scorpion. The gods raised him and the scorpion to the skies, as Scorpio, Scorpius. Yet other stories told he was chasing the pleiad. The Indians refer Orion constellation as Mriga. According to the Nigerian myth, Orion is referred to as Ode (hunter). He was chasing the Pleiades, when he ran into a Yoruba land of the Niger area. He was arrested and locked in a dungeon with his two dogs; Aja nla (the big dog) and Aja kekere (the small dog). Which are called Canis Major and Canis Minor respectively in the Greek mythology? Orion was punished by the ruler of the Yoruba land called Sango (the god of fire). Orion became a servant, and followed Sango for his hunting's, with Ajanla and Aja kekere. Orion is usually depicted as a gigantic hunter with Yoruba attire and a local belt in his waist and a sword. Canis majoris was also used to guide the town Ile Ife, while Canis Minor was used to guide the palace of Sango, during a war. Sango then went for a war with his warriors, but unfortunately is warriors were all killed in the war. When Sango finally won the war, he was ashamed of the death of his warriors and decided not to return home. After three days of no return, Ode went looking for Sango, and found him. Sango told him to go tell the people that he his dead and will not return. Ode ran and told the chiefs of the village. The chiefs came to the war front and saw their men dead, they saw a man hanged and burnt with Sango charm on his neck, and thought he was Sango. They did a secret funeral for him. Sango prepared his journey to the heavens through transfiguration. Ode came back to the hiding place of Sango, and begged to follow him to the heavens, But Sango disagreed. As Sango was about to leave Ode held him on is heel and followed him. Ode couldn't pass the gates of heaven with Sango, so was stocked in the sky with is dogs, as a constellation.                                                                                                                             Canis Major in early classical Europe represented the dog Laelaps, a gift from Zeus to Europa, or sometimes the hound of Procris, Diana's nymph, or the one given by Aurora to Cephalus; Zeus elevated it to the sky because of its speed. The roman myth refers to Canis Major as Custos Europae, the dog guiding Europa. Canis Major contains Sirius (scorching star) the brightest star in the night sky, known as the Dog Star. Other stars in Canis Major are Adhara – the virgins, Wezen – the weight, Murzim – Announcer, Aludra – the virgin, Furud – the single one, Mulphin – dog's ear. While Orion stars are Betelgeuse, Rigel, and Bellatrix – Orion's left shoulder, Mintaka, Alnilam, Alnitak, Saiph – Orion's right foot, Hatsya – the tip of Orion's sword, Meissa – Orion's head.                         Orion was mentioned three times in the bible; at Job 9:9 – He is the maker of the bear and the Orion, Job 38:31 – can you loosen Orion's belt, Amos 5:8 – He who made the Pleiades and the Orion.                                                                                                     Canis Minor is some times connected with the Teumessian fox, a beast turned into stone with its hunter, Laelaps, by Zeus who placed them in heaven as Canis Major and Canis Minor.                                                                                                                        Another constellation is the Eridanus, whose name is the ancient Greek name for Po River. It's the sixth largest constellation, the main river in Italy. Eridanus is depicted as a river flowing from the waters poured by Aquarius. Aquarius is a constellation in the southern sky, lying on the zodiac between Pisces and Capricornus. Aquarius is sometimes identified as Ganymede, a beautiful youth in Greek mythology with whom Zeus fell in love and in disguise of an eagle (represented by the constellation Aquila) carried off to Olympus to be cup bearer to the gods. Aquarius is also identified as Beniere (water goddess) by Nigerians. In the Nigerian myth Beniere is a river goddess who fell in love with a man who came to have is bath in the River Niger. She left the sea to be with this man, the man fell in love likewise. Beniere left the river to marry the man. She dwelt with him in a village called Angalabiri. After a long marriage and her husband knew the truth about her, he died of shock. After is death Beniere returned to the river. She was then pursued by her clan for what she did. She carried a cup and took the water of the sea and departed, and no one knew were she went. Years after the river Eridanus was to be the water she took from the sea and poured on a dry land. Eridanus was called by the Nigerians Oru toru Beni (the river of old).                                                                                                                                         The stars can be said to form constellations which are remnant of the great ones of old. Soon some constellations will be out of the sky and new ones will fall in. In years to come, a constellation of Zeus, Dinosaur, and A Buddhist palm would be seen in the sky.                      When a Man is born, a star is born with him, this star represent the symbol of a soul in mortality. This star affects the life of is owner in various ways. The number of stars in our solar system determines the mortality in it. Therefore if they be no aliens, the number of stars is directly proportional to the population of man on earth. These stars are arranged yearly to us, and can be months or years in other planets. The stars are arranged surrounding the solar system, these stars is like a destiny, waiting to be experienced. As a planet passes its axis, it experiences what the stars read. A planet like Venus, is at an average distance of 108 million km, and is 12,102 km in diameter; orbits the sun 225 days. This planet is likely to repeat experiences, until the stars are rearranged. So the forward movement of a planet meets the future, if the planet is manipulated to move backward, it experiences its past. When a man dies, his star dies in return, or goes back to the galaxy, that's when you see a star falls out of the sky. They are star that live millions of years and man has no quality to live till such time. Therefore the probability of mortals living till such extent increases e.g. aliens. Some times a star falls of the sky, going to the galaxy after mans death indicates the probability of the man being reincarnated. This star is later assigned to him when he returns.                                                                                              The formation and evolution of the solar system is estimated to have begun 4.55 – 4.56 billion years ago, with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the rest, flattened into a proto planetary disc out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small solar system bodies formed. This widely accepted model known as the nebular hypothesis was first discovered in the 18th century by Emanuel Swedenborg, Immanuel Kant, and Pierra – Simon Laplace. A disk–shaped cloud of subsidiary smaller lumps, pieces, dust, gases e.t.c; orbiting the sun subsequently condensed to form the planets, satellites, asteroid, comets. It is thought that earth began as a cold world, and the very first atmosphere may have been hydrogen gas, but since that is so light weight and very chemically reactive, most of it would have floated off into space or reacted with other substance; thus would have been rapidly dissipated. The first real atmosphere is thought to be due to subsequent volcanic activity and other chemical reactions taking place. It is thought that the inner four solid planets may have been started out with similar atmosphere of H2O, CO2, CO, N2. According to the current thinking NH3 is now off the list because, it is so reactive that scientist believes it would have formed H2, which would have floated off into space and N2 which would have stayed in the early atmosphere. It's thought that these chemicals made up the atmosphere of earth for the first one billion years and initially provided similar atmosphere for the other three solid planets.                                                      Mars is said to be too far from the sun so is too cold. Any water and carbon IV oxide present are frozen solid in the ice cap; a tiny bit of CO2 thaws out and provides a thin atmosphere over portions of the planet during Martian summer. The planet is said to be too small to hold very much atmosphere and enough of a green house effect to keep the planet warm. Thus they is essentially no atmosphere over the next 3.5 billion years, the amount of carbon II oxide in our atmosphere was reduced as it became incorporated into rocks (limestone). The liquid oceans formed about 3.8 bya and life has been present for nearly as long.                                                                                                                                    In the future to come the temperature of the sun would increase, the atmospheric clouds of Venus would be absorbed and Venus would seize to have rain. Mars seem to be too cold, as Earth started cold. Mars would sufficient sunlight to support life, while earth's ozone layer would diminish and earth would be exposed to a high temperature, which may lead to its destruction. Man live to adapt. This is called Evolution.                    Evolution is the gradual and continuous process by which the most primitive of living organisms have been developed into the diversity of plants and animal life known today. According to my thoughts, the proper reduction of the DNA of an organism would show its ancestors.                                                                                                                                             According to John, a disciple of Christ, who was cast into a cauldron of boiling oil and escaped miraculously without an injury; was also banished and thrown to the Isle of patmos, where he wrote the book of Revelations A.D.96. In this book, he told a revelation on how the world would end. He used the stars in various ways. In rev 9:1 – And I saw a star fall from heaven into the earth; and to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. In this portion the star was said to turn to a person. A star was used in the location of Jesus, when he was born. They are beliefs that the stars would be liquefied and will fall on earth as brime stone, and few stars are like a hidden room where something special is kept.                                                                                                                Few stars have been depicted as a mirror that faces the earth that the three witches of mortality uses in watching the universe. The stars is also said to be a transparent glass or a hole in the wall of heaven. The hole serves as a linkage to the underworld and to the heavens, while the transparent glasses are used to monitor or look through the other side of a world. In the bible Lazarus was carried to see the rich man in hell. The holes were what were used to see to hell. The star is more essential than a collapsing cloud of gases. The star has its physical and spiritual purposes on the Earth.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     …TARE-OTU IV…
