In Fall 2016 I had more students than usual, and they committed more bloopers than usual:
Much of what we know about the universe is unknown.
An overview about a brief overview
The celestial spear does not exist physically.
The sun was directly overhead at noon during the summer solstice and this was marked by the Mayan by aligning important buildings.
In Chichen Itza at sunset the sun would set directly in front of the building.
The entire Mason Dixon line was surveyed through a stone.
Kepler [wrote] his laws of planetary emotion.
Planets orbit around the sun in ellipsises ... .
The orbit of the sun is an ellipse on the focus.
The square of the period of a planet is proportional to the cubic square of its orbital radius.
The period was squared of a sidereal was proportional to the cubed of distances.
Newton’s idea of gravity explained how the moon is rotating around each big planet.
Many galaxies and objects orbit around the Earth.
Reflecting telescopes were made to eliminate [chromatic aberration] by not having light come in.
The spacecraft Voyager was launched with Yuri Gaganan bravely setting out to find out more informations about the moon.
Particles collided so randomly that the point of randomness did not exist.
Comets have certain features that allows the planets to stay the way they are, maintain its temperature and function.
[Magnetic fields on] many other planets are unable to be identified, some may have North poles, other may have South Poles.
Hubole set out a spacecraft that landed on the surface of Venus.
An object is stuck to the surface of the Earth, instead of vice versa.
Tectonic plates can collide with another, making rivets in the surface or Mountains above.
Magnetic field of the Sun ... causes the rotation of the planet and keeps each stars and comets in its own place without having them fly out different places. It keeps constant the eyle of rotation and speed and makes it possible for planets to stationed.
When a star is closer to the astromer they give off blue rays, farther away give off red.
Planets that redshift are “moving” further away from us on the surface of the Earth.
Both the red dwarves and the red giants go throw the red shift, which is shifting their position in regards to size and temperature that evolve over time.
The observed redshit of spectra from distant galaxies caused astronomers to believe the Universe is expanding.
If we look at the spectral lines of an astronomical object far away, the red color on the spectral lines will move farther away every time we observe, creating a shift between observations.
75% of Long Gamma Ray Bursters occur in galaxies with the lowest mental content.
Two supermassive black holes have been found in the Chandra X-ray satellite.
The “Big Dang” explosion
