* The Universe is comprised of billions of galaxies each of which contains billions of stars and other celestial objects. The Sun provides energy to the Earth Planet in form of light. Earth is a very small part of the Universe, located in the Via Láctea.
Pictures and videos aproach us to the proposal adopted by the United Nations to raise awareness of the International Year of Light
* Scientific explanations, theories and models are those that best fit the facts known in time.

27. How big is the moon?
The moon is about one fourth of the earth.
And its mass is 80 times smaller than the earth

28. What is the flame leaving the sun?
These are solar flares. Explosions are similar to volcanic explosions, but
much larger. Occur in an area called the photosphere of the sun. The
reaction produces hydrogen rem. energy that comes to Earth.
But also produce gases and particles that accumulate. They explode. With
this explosion we see an increase in brightness, and Sun ejects particles,
and a lot of energy, and flames.
We see sunspots on Sun. Sunspots warn us that there will be an eruption.

Why are these stars together?
The stars are very far from Earth.
The star Sun is 8 minutes of light travel,
from Earth
The next star, called Centaur, is more than
4,000 years of traveling light.
Think of a trip lasting more than 4,000
years of travel, traveling with light
So we see the stars close together.
Because they are so so far that we can not
separate them at a glance.
We also think that the remote buildings are together.

Why do stars have different colors?
The color of the stars tells us of his age. The younger stars are blue and
older stars have a red color. The old have consumed almost all its fuel and,
therefore, have been cooling. The color tells you the temperature on
surface.
Every second transform 700 million tons of hydrogen into helium ashes.
This process becomes 5 million tons of matter into energy.
The result is that the sun ever becomes lighter.
Now think if Sun is coming young or old.
33. Which is the maximum distance between
the earth and the farthest galaxy?
We know there are very distant galaxies. The light that comes from
these galaxies tells us. The distance is measured by the years that
it takes light to reach Earth.
At the University of Texas have studied information on more than
43 galaxies far away. One of most distant sent us light; this light
has been traveling for 13,000 million years.
CarmenDiezCalzada.2015IYL.Themagicofstarslight.(ErnestLluchLibrary.VilassarMar(BCN_SPAIN)
Is there life on other planets?
Life on a planet needs a moderate temperature
necessary for the existence of liquid water and to alow
living.
Astronomers identified a planet 500 light years away
from Earth, you might have life (year 2014).
Life hasn’t be founded since now.

What is the maximum distance that can be achieved
with a telescope?
The scope of a telescope
The distance at which a telescope can be related to the intensity of
the stars (objects) that focus the telescope: it can be very far and
very bright and observed, or may be very close and not very bright,
and see it
The view of the stars depends on the brightness of these stars.
The scope of a telescope on a numeric parameter indicated with a
number. It means that a bright object is awarded magnitude 1. A
little bright object visible given magnitude 6. A telescope can be
"magnitude 15" (allows viewing object brighter and less visible),
and achieve "magnitude 21" (bit brighter)
It is important to distinguish between "seeing with the eye" and
"photograph with the telescope." The picture of a telescope
accumulated exposure time and get information on the telescope
image of us can not see with the eye.

What is this writen UV_A ?
Ultraviolet radiation, UV, is what allows life on the planet, allowing
perform photosynthesis in plants and animal life depend of UV.
Ultraviolet light is a part of rem with energy greater than visible light.
UV_C shorter UV waves and more energetic . Doesn’t arrive to Earth.
UV_B have a little long waves , and energy produced burns (phototoxic)
UV_A energy has the longest wavelength and less aggressive.
That Often we are unaware of. This page links to resources in Turbulent
Different UV light offers science develope new technologies, improve
medicine (vision ) and life sciences in general.

What is the flame leaving the sun?
These are solar flares. Explosions are similar to volcanic
explosions, but larger. Occur in a Sun area called the
photosphere. Fusion hydrogen reaction produces
Electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR).
EM radiation is a form of radiant energy that comes to Earth.
But also produce gases and particles that accumulate. They
explode. With this explosion we see an increase in brightness,
and Sun ejects particles, and a lot of energy, and flames.
We see sunspots on Sun. Sunspots warn us that there will be
an eruption.

What does ozono mean?
Ozone acts as a filter or shield.
Radiation Ultraviolet ,UV, with high
energy can't arriving on Earth.
Ozonee allows passing ultraviolet light
with long wave, UV_A. Thus the UV light
least dangerous, reaches the earth's
surface.
These UV rays will allow photosynthesis
in plants. Also are used to sterilize
things, kills bacteria.
Ozone contains atoms oxigen.

How can we change the colors of a lasers?
Laser means “Light Amplification by the Stimulated
Emission of Radiation”
The light from a laser contains exactly only one color
and only one wavelength rather than a lot of different
wavelengths. Scientists say that laser light is
monochromatic. Radiation is coherent, not dispersed
and has a wavelength visible to the human eye ie,
corresponding to a color of visible light.
We can change the color by using different materials for
generating the waves of the light. A helium-neon laser
generates red laser light, 633 nanómetros (nm), other
materials can generate green laser light, etc.
