Study Points• What are binary stars?
• Why are binary stars important?
• What is an open cluster of stars? Where are these generally
located? Give an example.
• What is a globular cluster? Where are these generally located?
• What is a galaxy?
• Briefly describe or sketch the Milky Way galaxy. How big is it? How
many stars are in it? Where are we in it? Are we nearer the center
or edge? Where are the stars you see at night in it? Where are
open clusters in it? Where are globular clusters in it?
• What is our nearest large neighbor galaxy?
• What is the Local Group? About how big is it?
• Do galaxies collide? What is a cluster of galaxies?
• When we see objects like stars or galaxies in pictures, are we
seeing them as they look now or in the past? Why?

• Two stars orbiting each other*
• Very common

Binary Stars
• Three Main Ways to Find Them
– Visual – see with telescope
– Eclipsing – light dims periodically
– Spectroscopic – Doppler shifts in spectra

Some Study Points to Research
1. Briefly describe or sketch the Milky Way
galaxy.
2. How big is it? (diameter)
3. How many stars are in it?
4. Where are we in it? Are we nearer the
center or edge?
5. Where are the stars you see at night located
in the galaxy?
6. Where are open clusters in it?
7. Where are globular clusters in it?

When we see an image of a star or
galaxy, are we seeing it as it looks
now or in the past?*• In the past*
• How long ago?*
– That depends on the distance*
– Examples:*
• A Star 8 light years away: the light takes 8 years to
reach us.
– Civilization there sends us a signal and we respond. It
takes 16 years for them to receive our response after they
send a signal.
• A Galaxy 10 billion light years away: the light takes
10 billion years to reach us!
• Why?* because light takes time to travel*

notebooks in lecture
• Thursday, 12/5: Big Bang
• Tuesday, 12/10: Life in the Universe (optional Lab Test 2)
• Thursday, 12/12: Test 3 (60 multiple choice questions)– Based on last 8 lectures & 5 D2L quizzes 9-13
– Some questions from D2L quizzes
– Bring pencil, no calculator needed
– Optional Lab Test 2 during lab times
• Tuesday, 12/17: Final Test today & handback Test 3– Based on all 23 lectures & 13 D2L quizzes (the whole semester)
– Many questions from D2L quizzes
– Bring pencil & calculator if you have one (some in classroom for you)
– Remember lowest of 4 tests is dropped (Test 1, 2, 3, & Final).
– If you took 3 previous tests and are happy with your grade, then you
don’t have to take the Final Test. If you missed a previous test, you
must take the Final Test. If you are trying to increase your grade, take
the final to hopefully drop a different test. No Astronomy on 12/19.
