ASTR 1345 1st Edition Lecture 3 Outline of Last Lecture I. RadiationII. Age of the UniverseIII. Physics Outline of Current Lecture I. Speed of LightII. The SunIII. Black Holes/ Dark MatterIV. Major Physical TheoriesCurrent Lecturel.The speed of light is the fastest speed in the universe. It is 3X10^8 meters per second or 300,000 kilometers per second.ll.The Sun is made up of burning hydrogen and when it starts to burn helium it starts to die. The Sun is a ball of gas in the process of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the burning of the nucleus, the splitting and combining of protons. Our Sun will turn into a white dwarf when it dies because it is too small to turn into a black hole.lll.A black hole forms when a supergiant dead star or multiple dead stars combine. Dark matter is objects that go faster than normal because of hidden gravity that we cannot detect or see. lV.18th CenturyNewton’s Laws of Motion and GravitationThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
