“Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto” by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was painted in 1597 ,with oils on a plaster canvas. The painting show three men, in a dark night sky around the moon. The main background of the painting is a night sky with clouds in the background and a large moon in the center of the painting. The foreground of the painting is three men in the sky. The man at the top of the painting is nude with a white robe around him.…
Both of these men believed that their theories about the planets were accurate. You had Copernicus who believed that all planets orbited the sun while the moon orbited the earth. He was also convinced that the sun was in the center and did not move, and neither did the stars. As for Ptolemy, he believed that all objects orbited the sun. His theory was that the Earth was the center of the universe but stayed still.…
The Sun King’s Heliocentric Rule When a ruler holds authority that is only second to the divine being themselves, an absolute monarch is born. Throughout history, Europe has been home to many individuals that helped define the term absolutism and absolute monarchy. Most notably are Louis XIV of France and Peter the Great of Russia during the late 1700s. When examining a ruler’s legacy underneath the premise of absolute monarchy, how nice or how effective of a ruler has no effect.…
The Oort Cloud is leftovers from the formation of the formation of the solar system nearly 5 billion years ago. This cloud is something no one ever seen…
In this scene, a comet strikes the ocean creating a large tsunami. The size of the tsunami is realistic based on the size of the comet. Comets come from a far region of the solar system known as the Oort cloud (1). When comets approach the sun, they heat up and release particles from their surface, the particles are sent into the air from the wind from the sun, this makes the comet tail. Comets have two very different tails, one is made up of from gas and the other of dust.…
Diana Zayas Mrs. Valenzuela English 3 / Period 5 26 October 2017 Thought Question: Found: New Planets! In the article “Found New Planets” some special equipment that is used and mentioned to look at planets and the outside world is a telescope. This is important because it gives us a closer look on what is happening in space at that exact moment. There are different types of telescopes.…
In our Solar System, the planets and the Sun sit inside a flat plane, called the plane of the ecliptic. This ecliptic is also the path taken by the Sun across the sky over the course of the year. There are twelve constellations lining the ecliptic. We know these constellations from our zodiac and the Sun passes through each of these constellations annually. Over time, this annual cycle of the Sun actually appears to move backwards every seventy-two years.…
Berea was located in Southwestern Macedonia. The established date of the city is unknown, but Berea has been surrendered to the Romans after the Battle of Pydna (168 B.C.). Moreover, it is the first Macedonian city that surrendered to the Roman Empire. During the reign of Diocletian (284-305 A.D.), Berea became one of the two capitals of Roman Empire.…
When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, they disintegrate before they hit the ground. When a meteoroid does hit Earth’s surface, those are called meteorites. 21. The Nebular theory states that the solar system was a rotating disk of gas and dust. As the speed started to increase, the middle of the disk began to flatten.…
Many theories were proposed, notably that of Jan Oort. Oort’s hypothesis was of a sphere of protocomets in orbit far away from the sun. Occasionally, some of its contents broke free to plummet into the inner solar system, where they would become comets. Oort’s idea explained long-period comets, but his assumption explaining short period comets (long-life comets whose encounter with a planet shortened its orbit) proved incorrect. Although Gerard Kuiper is widely credited with the original idea of the belt, the prediction’s pioneer was really Julio Fernandez.…
The Earth is a part of the solar system and it has been influenced by its elements since it was formed. The solar system was formed from a large nebular cloud. This nebular cloud began to spin producing energy due to the collision between particles. The composition of these colliding particles included metal-rich fragments such as iron meteorites, rocky fragments such as stony meteorites, and icy fragments such as comets. The solar nebula grew hotter and denser, forming a disk of gas and dust at its center.…
In 1610, when the first person to look at the planet Saturn through a telescope, Galileo Galilei, made the discovery of the biggest mysteries of Saturn to this day -- the rings. Initially Galileo assumed that they were just extensions of Saturn, but then, a couple years later, he observed the planet again and the moons that he saw the first time were gone. Then two years after than, he repeated the same process and discovered that the “moons” that he saw have returned. Finally, he just gave in and theorised that they were arms of Saturn instead. That’s when Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens came in to prove his theory wrong.…
W.E.B. Du Bois wrote The Comet with a prominent theme of successful miscegenation in order to alter the general population’s disapproval of interracial relationships during the 1920s. Using an ultimatum, the author proves to the reader that the opposing races will not be seen as equal, until the world ends- unless society comes to the realization that blacks and whites can live in harmony. As soon as the poor black man, Jim Davis, and the rich white woman, Julia, discover each other, they are faced with overcoming the stereotypes that were expressed during this time period. The differences of society’s treatment between the two races and social classes lead to the questioning of the idea of miscegenation: Is an equal relationship between a black and a…
Stage 1: What caused the Chicxulub Impactor to enter the Earth’s atmosphere and hit Earth (2) About 65 million years ago an asteroid that is roughly 10 kilometres across, hit Earth on the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It caused a huge explosion and left a crater that is about 185 kilometres across. This asteroid impact is commonly known to be the reason for the extinction of three quarters of the dinosaurs. (4) The asteroid soared through the sky at more than 40 times the speed of sound. (6) The earth moves through space in its orbit around the sun at 107,000 kilometres per hour.…
One painting that really caught my eye is the painting Jupiter and Thetis by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (Getlein, 2016). This painting was inspired from Homer’s Iliad, “The Greek epic of the Trojan War (Getlein, 2016).” Without knowing what it really means you can tell more or less what is happening based off of the artists creativity. From first sight, you can see A man sitting in a throne which depicts royalty.…
