Astrophysics with Pictures?

In 2005/6 I produced over 1000 images based on Science and Mathematics. I had finished up running a robotics company and was about to embark on a couple of degrees to become a classroom teacher.  They were a kind of personal notes as I finally got a chance to catch up on reading....

This is an picture of two planet transiting a rapidly rotating star, showing a blue shift on the section of star coming towards you and a red shift on the receding edge. This is a bit more relevant for pulsar and stellar cores - white dwarfs that can spin 100 - 1000 times a second.

This covers how we know the universe underwent faster than light expansion in cooling off in under 15 minutes after the big bang. We have been underdone with most of the starting fuel unused.

This shows the nuclear powered implosion wave that forms a black hole.
