A Super Duper Fancy Camera

Hello ladies, gentlemen, and non-binary pals. Your girl ROBEA is back to do some more learning for you guys! This week we will be derailing from Orion Nebula (Sorry bae). But the show must go on! This week we will be talking about the type of camera that can be used to take a picture of the Orion Nebula or any astronomical object (look at that I’m using big girl words go me!). The name of this wonderful camera is CCD or charge coupled device (Nice 2006).

(I know, I know ROBEA where is the cringy picture?? What is this actually showing us a picture of what you are talking about? Well fam squad, I had to show you a real picture of the camera so you know what the heck it looks like.)


The most common use of a CCD camera is to take pictures of space since it is a very sensitive camera. The way a CCD camera takes a picture is pretty cool (I mean if you hate astronomy it won’t be cool to you but now I have a question for you. Why are you here?? For the people who are nerds like me prepare yourselves). Now this camera isn’t a normal camera at all, it takes pictures by taking in the light and letting it bounce over the pores in its surface (Nice 2006). Hey! Hey, don't look at me like I’m crazy! That is how the CCD works and it's pretty effective because it is able to take pictures of deep space if it is attracted to a telescope. Now that I have expanded your horizons a bit more I shall be off to another adventure. Toodaloo my lovely readers!

An Artists Rendition of the Planet Gliese 581c Retrieved from: http://www.cosmographica.com/spaceart/exoplanet-gliese581c.html Hello to the few people that read this! (How’s the day going Professor?). I hope you all are ready to have some knowledge thrown at you! So pull a chair up, take a seat, and lets get to learning! Now I know I talk a LOT about space but I never really talk about the planet we live on (Don’t get to excited; I see you perking up a bit back there Tom). Let’s not get too carried away here people; I’m not gonna talk about Earth, Nay Nay, I’m gonna talk about planets that are LIKE Earth (No Tom I’m not talking about Aliens! Sit down before you hurt yourself man). So our favorite people over at NASA have spent many years staring at the sky in hopes they will find a planet like our very own Earth. I bet some of you are getting a bit excited but keep your shirts on, NASA has not found any planets that are 100% like Earth. When I say “Like Earth” I mean how like...

Hello my good people! Now I know some of y’all are here to listen to me ramble for a couple hundred words (and I love all my readers, that’s right Professor you’re the best!) and the rest of you are wondering how the heck you ended up here (Don’t worry Sam, it’s not like I can see you through your camera or anything… or can I…?). We’re gonna be doing something a bit different this week folks. This week I’m going to tell you about the amazing thing that just happened in recent space news (I like that, “Space News” it sounds very official for something I just made up!) Now that I’ve got your attention (Well most of you… PATRICIA! Gurl pay attention please. I am trying to expand your knowledge, you can text your BFF later. Trust me you might want to hear this….maybe not? Aaand we’ve lost Patricia. Dang! Welp the past in the past they always say!) Let me tell you what happened. So sit yourself down! Open your ears! It’s time to do you some learnin’! Ok backstory time! I’m sure some of you ...

~Hello everyone~ (or to whomever reads this). This is a blog that I have made for a class I am taking in College. So basically my Professor wanted all of us to each make a blog. So I have made this Astronomy blog and thought to myself "If I have to do this, why not have fun while doing it?" So welcome all who come to this random google blog, welcome to my own personal train wreck. But I will say this, I am not an expert at all when it comes to Astronomy so if I get anything wrong do not hesitate to correct me. Without further adieu, Welcome to Rando Badly Explains Astronomy !
