How can I calculate the luminosity of the wolf-rayet star Regor (Gama velorum) if i'm using the inverse square law but need the luminosity of this star in watts. How can I convert this value of its luminosity, (170,000 L☉) to watts I've been trying to figure out how to calculate this in order to convert it into my equation of b= L / (4pi d^2) if b= apparent brightness L= luminosity of star (in watts) d= distance to the star (in meters) Please let me know, thank you!?
Please guide me of how to convert this correctly and properly address the answer and how to get it.
Hello I am a young adult (21) and I need help finding a career for me?
I’m looking for a career that I can, enjoy and make a healthy living off of I enjoy, quantum physics, and astronomy, but I also enjoy computer science and general script writing. I am having a hard time figuring out where to go in life and what to do if anyone has any good ideas I would really appreciate it I just need to find a clear career goal.
Do you have to be competitive as an astrophysicist?
I'm not much of a competitive person and would rather avoid that stuff, but people say it's a very competitive field. This scares me since it's one of my biggest dreams.
What colleges are good to study psychology at?
What are good, and realistically affordable colleges to major in psychology and to also take astronomy courses. I'm currently in 8th grade but really want to start planning ahead.
What are people's opinions on the new research on the speed of certain particles and the like?
Do you think there are particles that travel faster than the speed of light, or do you think that it is just nonsense? What are your opinions on the celestial bodies found in places previously thought to not exist in those places based on the Big Bang theory?
How can I manage my time better so I can reach my goal of having a 4.0 this year while having extracurriculars and SAT preparations?
For context, I am taking 3 APs and an astronomy community college class. I am struggling the most with astronomy, physics, and math. I am also the Junior Officer for an aerospace organization at my school called Aerotech and I am a writer and editor for a club called ARRAS (Arts and Magazine Club). In addition to this, I am currently working on a research project and thinking of making a research club for my school and dabbling in music production (hopefully I can start producing music once I can effectively manage my time). In short, I have too much on my plate.
What are the first steps I can take for a career in astrophysics?
What extracurriculars would be best to do during high-school that relate to astrophysics that I can do? Are there any specific programs or courses I can take out of school that are recommended?
