I am doing a lab on the H-R diagram, and the question is:

"Luminosity" doesn't necessarily mean "brightness". Instead, luminosity refers to the amount of energy that a star is giving off. In the diagram, Betegeuse and Barnard's star are about the same temperature, but Betelgeuse is much more luminous. What is this telling us about the characteristics of these two stars? Name at least 2 characteristics and explain your reasoning"

Now one reason that I want to think has to do with the differences in luminosity is due to the fact that Betelguese is larger and bc of that would most likely emit more luminosity (or energy) and the inverse-square law would play a factor in this? My second characteristic is perhaps the relative distance that each star is.

Is there anyone with some knowledge of astronomy that could help me figure out whether or not I am on the right track with this question? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks:)

Question for people who've read, understand and believe in the bible??

k, so I've been thinking lately and I have a few questions about the bible, christianity, and Ghosts. Ive never believed in ghosts but lately im begining to rethink that....First off- does the bible specifically ever say that there are no such things as ghosts? (if it does, where is it at so I can look it up)

Some people think that when we die, thats when your judgement day is.....some people think that theres one judgement day for everyone... so if thats the case...doesnt that mean that both heaven and hell are empty right now?

Also if that is true....then is it possible that ghosts do exist, and theyre just waiting for the judgement day?

I understand if you dont believe in heaven or hell or anything like that but if thats the case then please dont answer my question just to state that you think its a waste of time..if thats your belief then fine..dont waste your time answering.. I just want some answers (or opinions) on what christianity really thinks about ghosts
