House Door Leaks When It Rains

25. Walking along the path of milk

I have come to blows a music CD rather curious. Seems to be a compilation of songs by different artists. It's called "Walking in the way of milk." The odd thing is that his CD cover is spherical. So is a semi-transparent ball that opens and reveals the CD, which has a picture of a bizarre swirl printed. What is it?


This is how you create must be the Milky Way.

The CD comes with a booklet that explains "This music CD contains songs from various authors with music related to a hypothetical trip for our Galaxy, the Milky Way. In this booklet you will find a brief explanation of each song and their relation to the Milky Way. We hope you enjoy it. "

So he gives me to open the area semi-transparent and begin to sound the first notes on the piano for the song" Halo "by Beyoncé.








Then I started reading the book:

"Our galaxy is completely enveloped in a spherical structure called Halo formed by old stars, which are believed to be the rest of the matter cloud from which formed the remaining structures of the Milky Way. In the halo of the Galaxy are the globular clusters, dense groupings of old stars. Some 150 known globular clusters. The orbits of stars around the galactic center are disordered. Some halo stars fall directly toward the center and others move in strange orbits. The latter stars are thought that might be part of any other dwarf galaxy swallowed by our own. "



The Milky Way is surrounded by a halo of very old stars.

The song Beyonce is just and move to the next track. Starts playing the song "DISCO" Ottawan.







"We traveled far toward the Galactic Disco, like the CD you have in your hands. The galactic disk can be divided into a thin disk, and another a little width, called thick disk. "

the galactic disk can be divided into thin disk and thick disk.

"Our Planet Earth, next to the Sun, would be the same distance from the center of the disc's third track on this CD to 2 / 3 of total radius of the disc. "

Paso, then to hear the third track on the disc. It could not be another song:" Here Comes the Sun "by The Beatles.







"Viewed from Earth, the galactic disk is what you see on a starry night as a bright spot in the sky. That is why we call our galaxy the Milky Way , because it seems spilled milk across the sky. In fact, mythological legend created the Milky Way result of a spill of milk from the breast of the goddess Hera, wife of Zeus, while nursing a baby boy named Hercules. "


Tintoretto This picture (above) is based on the mythological legend tells how he created the Milky Way (right) for breast milk Hera spilled over the sky trying to breastfeed Hercules.


Ja, ja. Great! The fourth track is the song from the soundtrack of the cartoon film, Hercules: Go the distance "by Alan Menken .








Hercules I was so eager to drink the milk of Hera he did much harm to grab and Hera Hercules departed, spilling their milk through the roof. "

" But the milky spots of heaven, if we see under high magnification see that this actually made stars. "
Change
track" Stars "by Simply Red







" All the stars we see during night are stars in our own galaxy. And in fact only those closest to the Sun, because the others are very weak and we get very light absorbed by the gas and dust between the stars. "

" The Milky Way is a spiral-type galaxy. "

Ah, yes! The whirlwind that silkscreened on the CD. Change the song and starts playing" Spiral "by Vangelis.







" It is believed that there are 2 or 3 spiral arms in the Milky Way and we are in an arm called the Orion Arm. " The spiral arms are regions where stars are brighter because they are newly created emitting much light. Ie in the regions between the arms there are stars, but they shine less and contrast are young stars that are forming these spiral arms. "

We are getting closer to the center of this album, latest songs. To see what we continue ...

" It is believed that the core of our galaxy consists of a bulb as bar. "


In the center of our galaxy there is a region with a long rod called
connecting different spiral arms.

Go, starts playing the song "Amores de Barra" by Ella Fitzgerald.








"The bar is an elongated structure connecting the different arms and shaped ellipsoid of revolution ..."

... In other words, cucumber.


"The galactic bulge contains old stars also similar to those that were in the galactic halo."


"All these stars in all parts of the galaxy orbit the center discussed. Therefore, in the center of the Milky Way is believed that there is a supermassive black hole that attracts all these stars. "

Start sound" Supermassive Black Hole "by Muse.







" We know of the existence of supermassive black hole by the effect gravitational pull it exerts on the stars near the galactic center (in the region of Sagittarius). "


Movement of stars around a dead star but carries
the same gravitational force millions of Suns.
This coincides with the definition of black hole mass and body very dark
to not let even light escape its gravitational field.

Well, last song: "Walking on the Milky Way" by OMD.







"This was the ride we've done in the way of milk, the Milky Way. There are still many things to know about our own galaxy and the stars the form. Hopefully in the future, this journey has many more songs, which will mean that many more things you know our host, the Milky Way. "

course to take as little, this walk around the Milky Way has become quite entertaining. The things I've seen in a short time. If you already knew that the music I could carry you away, but I did not know that much.
