Constellation Dorado — The Cosmic Swordfish

Unlike many ancient constellations tied to Greek and Roman myths, Dorado is a modern constellation, introduced in the late 16th century by Dutch navigators exploring the Southern Hemisphere. Its name, “Dorado” or “golden,” refers to the golden fish, possibly the dolphinfish, popular among sailors in the South Seas.

When there is injury or infection, your body widens the blood vessels in that area to allow more blood flow. But ironically, widening the vessels actually slows down the flow.

The Habitable Zone

The Habitable Zone is the distance around a star where a planet is just right for water to exist as a liquid on its surface. Not boiling away. Not frozen forever. We call it many names: The Goldilocks Zone (not too hot, not too cold) The Life-friendly Zone The Water Zone

Red Dwarfs – The Quiet Fires of the Universe

A red dwarf is a small, relatively cool star that shines with a dim red light. In terms of size, it’s only about 7% to 50% the mass of our Sun. That means if our Sun were a basketball, a red dwarf might be the size of a golf ball. Their “red” color comes from their cool surface temperatures — usually around 2,000 to 4,000°C.

Red Giants

In the main sequence stage (the long middle of a star’s life), a star fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. This fusion produces energy, which pushes outward against gravity’s pull. But once the hydrogen in the core runs out, fusion slows.

Bosons

A boson is a particle that follows integer spin — that is, its spin is 0, 1, 2, and so on. This property makes it fundamentally different from matter-building particles (fermions), which have half-integer spins (like ½).
