Answer the following questions:

1. Select one space telescope/observatory described in the videos and/or readings (you’ll also find a list in this section of the OpenStax Astronomy textbook). You are welcome to select one that is still in development (for instance, the James Webb Space Telescope). Explain why you selected this telescope/observatory. Why does it interest you?

2. What is this telescope designed to do? What parts of the electromagnetic spectrum does it utilize, and why?

3. How long has this telescope been in operation? So far, what discoveries has this telescope made? If it is still in development, what do astronomers hope to achieve with this telescope, and when will it launch?

4. Approximately how much did this telescope/observatory cost? Do you think this telescope was/is a strong investment? Explain.

Write at least 300 words in response. Be sure to cite and reference your sources.

Watch the eight-minute video below about how the Kepler space telescope (which is no longer in operation), TESS, and the James Webb Space Telescope have searched or will search for exoplanets.

Then answer the following questions:

Is it worth it? The cost of space missions designed to search for exoplanets ranges from millions to billions of dollars. Are these expenses worth it, compared to the results? Defend your opinion, and respond to at least two other posts. Use information from the course materials to support your point of view.

Please address the following questions in your own words:

1. Describe 2-3 concepts or ideas that stood out to you as you were reviewing the lesson materials.

2. Describe one of the most important observations that Galileo made using his telescope. Why was this observation so important?

3. In what way(s) did Galileo’s observations and discoveries build on the ideas of his predecessors? When answering this aspect of the discussion question, consider what you learned in Topics 1 and 2 of this lesson.

Answer in 300 words. Cite and reference any sources you use.

I have attached the instruction and how to cite.
I want you write about Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas).
Also I have upload the PDF file which I want you to cite in the report.
The instruction is very clear and also mention which kind of sources you need to cite.

Hi, to please follow the direction as requested.

You have been invited to talk about thermodynamic conceptsspecifically the three heat transfer methods (convection, conduction, and radiation)in front of a high school physics class. To aid you in your presentation, you need to create a PowerPoint about the thermodynamic concepts with examples based on your experiences. In your presentation, be sure to include the following:
compare and contrast the three heat transfer methods with examples,
describe the relation among density, temperature, and volume when the pressure is constant, and
explain the blackbody radiation curve.
Your PowerPoint must be a minimum of 10 slides not including the title and reference slides. You are required to insert appropriate images and diagrams to enhance your content. In addition to the images, you must use at least two scholarly references in your presentation. Any images or information used should be cited in APA format. Also, it is a good idea to utilize presenter notes and provide narration, but this is not required

After reading the article, you will write an article review that includes a short summary of the article and your general thoughts about the article. You should address how the physical concepts that we have learned in this unit are used or applied. In your discussion of how this article applies to the unit concepts, you should:
describe various fluid dynamics terminologies within the article,
distinguish between atmospheric pressure and liquid pressure, and
describe ideal gas law for various practical applications.
Your article review should be at least three pages long, and it should be formatted in APA style. You are not required to use any references other than the article, but any information from outside sources, including the article, should be cited in APA style.
