Space is not empty. It is not a complete vacuum. Even between stars and galaxies there exists gasses and dust. In intergalactic space the material will be very diffuse. Also,...
1 Answers 1 viewsA planet can get ejected from a solar system by the gravitational pull of its sun, another planet or another star passing through its solar system. There are problems with...
1 Answers 1 viewsIntergalactic space (IGS) is near-absolute vacuum but not vacuum. The very hot hydrogen plasma in the void (one highly compressed and confined atom in a cubic meter) is highly conductive...

1 Answers 1 viewsIn the core of a main sequence Star temperature and pressure is high enough to undergo hydrogen fusion but it is still not enough to fuse the helium that is...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe core of massive stars has more gravitational pressure on its core, resulting in a faster bombardment of atoms (fusion). This forces the massive star to run out of its...
1 Answers 1 viewsA parsec, about 3.26 light-years, is the distance where a star appears to shift by one second of arc as moves from one point in its orbit to the opposite...
1 Answers 1 viewsIntergalactic travel maybe possible within the 21st century. Astrophysicists have already given ideas, such as the space warping spacecraft (which could allow it to travel faster than light without breaking...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe relationship between a star's distance and its parallax angle is given by $d = 1/p$, where the distance $d$ is measured in parsecs (equal to $3.26$ light years) and...
1 Answers 1 viewsStars are formed when a cloud of gasses, mainly hydrogen, collapse due to gravity. As more and more gas accumulates the temperature rises. The temperature creates an outward thermal pressure....
