Notes
Introduction
This book will introduce the reader to the universe. It is a pictorial and informational tour of our universe. It will take the reader from our home planet, Earth, through the solar system, into interstellar space, the Milky Way galaxy, intergalactic space, and the universe.
Each planet in our solar system will be reviewed, as will the sun and the asteroid belt. We will review the nature and composition of interstellar space, our closest star, and exoplanets. Also, meteors, asteroids, and comets will be examined.
Our Milky Way galaxy will be explored, and we will review the nature and images of nebulae, pulsars, neutron stars, black holes, and quasars. We will examine pictures of far-off galaxies as well as our closest neighboring galaxy, Andromeda. The reader will be introduced to the unimaginably vast distances between star systems, beautiful celestial phenomena, and galaxies in our universe.
Imaging is critical to understand our universe; we will review images and descriptions of terrestrial telescopes and imaging systems as well as space-based telescopes. Manned space flight possibilities will be reviewed. The necessity of hyper-light-speed travel to explore our universe and its challenges regarding human physiology and Einstein’s theory of relativity will be discussed.
Questions of our history and place in the universe will be examined. We will delve into theories of the creation of the universe and introduce the reader to the string theory of the universe.
It is hoped that this book will establish an initial understanding of the incredible nature, scope, and breadth of our universe and stimulate additional interest in pursuing more advanced study on this subject.

Our Neighborhood in the Universe
OUR SUN
The Sun is the star at the center of the Earth’s solar system. It is a sphere of hot plasma, heated by a continuous nuclear fusion reaction in its core. The sun radiates energy mainly as light and infrared radiation. The temperature of the sun’s core is 26,999,540 degrees Fahrenheit (14,999,727 Celsius). Its surface temperature is about 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The sun’s diameter is 864,000 miles (1.9M kilometers), which is 109 times the size of the Earth. Its mass is 330,000 times that of Earth. The sun is part of the Cassiopeia constellation
