Moon

We have ventured to the moon, but now is it the time to take on another challenging space exploration and journey to Mars? One of the most proud accomplishments for NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was leading America to the moon in the summer of 1969, "That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind." Mars seems like the next perfect destination, to have another achievement like that fateful day, but is it the best idea? Similar to Earth, Mars is an intriguing…

person could live in space. They took baby steps by starting with a few days and moving up to two weeks. After this was proven to be true, then scientists developed the Apollo program. This entailed proving that people could work in space and on the moon. These missions were successful. Even though Apollo 13 experienced troubles, this also helped scientists deal with and learn from these errors. Ultimately, scientists wanted…

Do you want to live in a time period where we got to see a man step foot on the moon or a time period where technology takes over people's lives.

The Great American eclipse and the appearance of the sun in “All Summer in a Day” were both alike in many ways. The two events were greatly anticipated rarities. In the movie, Margot was very enthusiastic for the visit of the sun as were many people about the eclipse. The reason both events were anticipated was due to the fact that both events had not happened in many years. Both of the audiences prepared for such rarities but in different ways. The children in the movie put on visors and…

Bottle Rocket Background Paper A rocket is a vehicle that can travel through the air really high and can contain things like water, air, fireworks, signals, flares, etc… The water and air are pushed on the ground (which pushes the rocket up) when the rocket launches. This is called thrust. Thrust is created by Newton’s third law of motion which is , “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” In this case, the action is the water and air pushing on the ground. The equal and…

The sun had set peacefully and the village was asleep. When the moon was at its peak the change of guards signaled the concealed vytakans that the time for attack had come. Their battle cries woke the village as the men scrambled for their swords and the women tried desperately tried to hide the young. The sounds of…

The story is the predictably simple one of an in-valid Vincent (Hawke) bucking the system to fulfil his romantic dream of space travel. Gattaca (pronounced gat-a-ka), is the name of the corporation that can put him on a rocket to Titan, Saturn's 14th moon. The twist: in order to escape the system Vincent must first fool it by posing as Jerome (Law), genetically perfect but crippled by an accident, so now bitter and willing to sell his bodily fluid, and tissue samples to allow Vincent to pass the…

A unmanned spacecraft launched in 1997 called Cassini arrived at Saturn in 2004. After, its last flyby of one of Saturn's moons on April 21st Cassini, was prepared for what mission planners called mission planners are called its "Grand Finale." On April 22, 2017, a final flyby of Cassini was sent through the gap between Saturn and the inner ring. The spacecraft came within the cloud on jupiter and 200 miles of the most visible edge of its ring. As it has never been done before mission managers…

During the course of my vertical alignment assignment, I co-taught with Darlene Natson. The 4th grade classroom I taught in was Ms. Smith’s class. This was an introduction lesson to astronomy. During the course of the lesson, the standard that was covered was the following: S4E1. Students will compare and contrast the physical attributes of stars, star patterns, and planets. a. Recognize the physical attributes of stars in the night sky such as number, size, color and patterns. b. Compare the…

light-years from Earth. The system contains three Earth-like exoplanets; these planets are named Kepler-37b, Kepler-37c, and Kepler 37d. Kepler-37b is the smallest planet of the three, being slightly larger than our moon. It was the most difficult planet to detect because of its small size. This moon-sized planet and its two companion planets found by NASA’s Kepler mission were detected while research scientists embarked on the discovery of a planets with “habitable zones” near a star similar to…
