When it crosses the eastern side of the horizon plane it is rising / setting (circle). Page 5 – The Horizon Diagram Describe the location of the moon in the sky of the horizon diagram at bottom. Use direction words (like north, west, etc.) and estimate its altitude in degrees. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________…
Myths show the values of a culture along with a life message. People usually decide what stories they think are worth retelling to their children, with these stories strangers can figure out what that culture valued. The stories of the two Greek figures Apollo and Utnapishtim demonstrate decision-making and their aftershocks. The Story of Apollo’s tree shows that if you brag then you will suffer the consequences and Utnapishtim’s story of the great flood shows that if you are kind and courteous you will live a happy life.…

Would we as a race, be more technologically advanced? Would we have all the resources we need at the tips of our fingers? Would we share each other’s thoughts, ideas and plans rather than competing with and diminishing our opponents completely? Would we create magnificent buildings and impossible inventions? Think of a society where crime was non-existent, where anyone could walk down any street at night completely lost in the stairs and galaxies above, oblivious to life around them, not worrying about the possibility of being mugged, beaten, raped or even all three!…

The discovery of Neptune was a major confirmation of Newton's universal law of gravitation because it explained the eccentricities in Uranus' orbit. Neptune wasn't initially found through visual observation but was discovered because of the perturbations in Uranus' orbit. The discovery of Neptune also showed that Newton's law of universal gravitation prevailed even at the limits of the solar system.…
In this article, “Living Without Gravity”, the author, Robert Zimmerman, states that living on gravity has some good and bad outcomes. First, you need to adjust to this environment. Then, when you get back to earth, your body uses homeostasis to adjust back to environment in earth and that takes a long time. And while that is happening, there are some effects that can affect you in some positive and negative ways.…
Is Pluto a planet? This is the question many astronomers are debating. Pluto used to be considered a planet but back in 2006, it was taken of its title and was considered a dwarf planet. Many astronomers believe Pluto is a planet, and many believe it is not. This is a modern day debate for astronomers.…
Neptune has more mass even though Uranus is the larger of the two because of density. While we measure the gas giants starting at where we can see their visible features, the gas surrounding their rocky cores can be thick or thin just as the rocky cores themselves may vary in size. In the instance of these two planets, Neptune has the larger rockier core with less gas surrounding it, hence appearing to be smaller while Uranus has a smaller core with more gases leading to the planet Neptune being more dense that her neighbor.…
Dwarf planets are considered to be those mass’s in space which are neither planet nor natural satellite. More explicitly, they are a mass which, unlike a moon, orbit around the sun, and due to the pull and force of their self-gravity are of a sufficient mass that they form an almost rounded spherical shape however they are not of a sufficient size to gravitationally clear the neighbourhood around their orbit. (Williams, M) In comparison the definition of a planet, as defined by the International Astronomical Union in 2006 is “a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.” (IAU)…
Gravity is the force that maintains our solar system. According to http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/, the sun is held together due to gravity. The sun formed from a large collapsing cloud made of gas and dust. All objects or bodies in the solar system are affected by the gravitational pull of the sun. Without the gravitational pull the sun would not stay near our planets.…
The nights would be dark like the blackboards of a classroom,…
The world would no longer be as we know it. We couldn't hide all the Dark Magic from Muggles so the Statue of Secrecy would be broken. Hogwarts would no longer be a school of magic, it would be a school of Dark Magic. Students would learn Dark Magic and grow up to be Dark witches and wizards. There would hardly be any light in the world and those who are good would be forced to hide or they would be tortured, thrown in Azkaban or…
We Should Not Go Back to the Moon The first time America stepped foot on the moon was on July 20th, 1969, however, the last time Americans stepped foot on the moon is was in 1972. Charles Krauthammer, in the Washington Post, from 2009, argues the we should go back to the moon. Krauthammer states that we go back to the moon “for the wonder and glory of it” and because of the moon's “immense possibilities” (57). Krauthammer fails to mention a lot of vital information that could happen when we go back to the moon like, where will the money come from, the risks of going to the moon, and lastly what benefit would come from going to a place that we have already spent time on.…
GRAVITATIONAL WAVES, HOW CLOSE ARE WE? PHSCS 222 Collective Paper November 23, 1999 #123 #272 #666 #895 The Detection of Gravitational Waves, How Close Are We? Since the realization that the general theory of relativity predicts gravitational waves, there have been attempts to actually detect these waves. Indirect observations have been made that support their existence but no direct measurement.…
