Vampire Star

Vampire Star Reveals it's Secrets

Astronomers just discovered something amazing! By using the light of 4 telescopes at the European Southern Observatory's Paranal Observatory, they created a virtual telescope thats 50 times sharper than a NASA Hubble space telescope and obtained the best images ever of a star loosing most of it's material to a vampire companion. Suprisingly, the new results they got, shows the transfer of mass from one star to the other.

I found this article interesting because space is a world of wonders and I really like learning about it, and I had never really heard of a vampire star so it was really cool to learn about it.

This article can relate to my life because a couple of years ago when I was learning about the solar system, I was researching Europa (Jupiter's Moon) and I found so many interesting facts about it, and I really enjoyed it and an other thing was that when I looked through a telescope and saw so many interesting things about space it would be very cool if I ever got the chance to see a Vampire Star.

I think this can relate to Human Ingenuity because these astronomers are thinking outside the box. I feel that space is a world of knowledge just waiting to be explored, and these astronomers are exploring it.

    Good Job...The picture was kind of cool in this article. Think about adding one in the future. Otherwise, you did a excellent review. Just need to remember to include the data of the article and of course turn it in on time.
