Second, it will give a quali

Vintergatan, vårt hem i Universum, är den enda galax vi har möjlighet att studera i detalj. Med hjälp av observationer och beräkningar vet vi idag ungefär hur Vintergatan ser ut. Vi vet att Vintergatan består av en tunn skiva av stjärnor, stoft och gas, kallad den tunna disken. I mitten har den en utbuktning, kallad bulben. I och runtomkring finns en lite tjockare skiva med lägre densitet och bestThe formation history of the Milky Way galaxy is presently a subject of frequent investigation within astronomy. Of interest when constructing theories of the Galaxy’s formation is the question of whether or not there exist any gradients regarding ages of the stars within the stellar disks. In this project, a method for age-determination of stellar populations based on the Sobel Kernel edge detect

The current social security systems in Europe have not been able to deal with increased traditional and new risks such as unemployment or work-life balance. One suggested solution to this problem has gained more popular and academic support in recent years: the idea of a universal, unconditional basic income (UBI).
