Stars
2. How does a new star form? The formation of a new star occurs in a similar way as the Sun did. A new star begins its formation with a cloud of interstellar gas and dust. This cloud is known as a nebula and collapses on itself as a result of its own gravity. The cloud’s rotation forces it into a disk shape as the cloud contracts, and contains a hot condensed object at the

Stars
A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the energy on Earth. Other stars are visible in the night sky, when they are not outshone by the Sun. For most of its life, a star shines because thermonuclear fusion in its core releases energy that traverses the star's interior and then radiates into outer space. Almost all elements heavier

Stealth Technology Stealth has become the magic word in contemporary weapon systems. Contemporary work on stealth has its roots in long-standing efforts to reduce the visibility of military aircraft through camouflage paint schemes. However, as electronic sensors have replaced the eyes of pilots as the primary means of tracking other aircraft, more intricate means of defense were needed. Often thought of simply as the use of special materials to render aircraft invisible to radar, stealth
