In 1929, Edward hubble discovered that distance of the galaxies is proportional to the speed of our galaxy. Later, this discovery was confirmed with with what scientists saw through the telescope. Thus,…
This episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, Neil deGrasse states that “this adventure is made possible by generations of searches strictly adhering to a simple set of rules: test ideas by experiment and observation, build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail, follow the evidence and see where it leads, and question everything. “ The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Earth’s closest neighbor is the moon, it has no sky, no ocean, or life. Mars has as much land as Earth itself. Jupiter is like it’s own solar system it has more mass than all the other planets combined.…
Orion Space Probe 3” telescope for sale … Perfect for checking out the 95 year old neighbor lady next door if you are that kind of a degenerate sicko. For the rest of us, this telescope gives a clear view of the moon and other celestial bodies. This telescope comes with the following additional goodies: The full size aluminum stand folds up to be not only lightweight but compact.…
Engineers eventually proceeded to develop a plan to correct the problem by inserting another mirror in Hubble to produce proportional deformation to the flawed mirror. Those two mirrors, working in conjunction with each other, would convert light transmissions accurately before the telescope's instruments interception of the corresponding image. Accordingly, Space Shuttle astronauts on a subsequent servicing mission planned to install the new optics in extended spacewalks. That plan unfolded when the Space Shuttle Endeavour made repairs to Hubble as part of a planned mission, in December 1993. The astronauts installed corrective optics, a new camera, and several other items.…
There are still many unanswered questions waiting to be discovered and solved everyday. The human race has improved very far because of these great achievements and advanced studies contributed by pioneer scientists all over the globe in many different times…
In conclusion I truly believe that Space is a true mystery and that is can be called the final frontier. The topic Space was picked to show facts about space that can help call it the final frontier. Three main topics are One Galaxies their shapes and forms. Two Lifeforms off of earth and the evidence to support that theory is true.…
The Kepler Telescope main instrument is a photometer. This instrument measures the brightness of stars within its field of view. Data is then gathered and analyzed to detect any variations or deviations of light which is caused by the transits of plants of host stars. These dips in light help in detecting planets in "Habitable Zones".…
From the expected fields of astronomy and physics to more unexpected fields like geology and psychology, space exploration has provided uncountable volumes of information to dissect and discuss for many different areas of study. And, like with technological advances, these gains in knowledge have direct roots in specific programs of space exploration. For instance, new information on black holes and solar system formation has been directly accumulated from the Hubble Space Telescope, a tool that “…could reveal stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies in all their fully-detailed glory” (Moskowitz). Or for an example far closer to home, the Voyager probes to the outer solar system discovered volcanoes on Io, the moon of the Jupiter, and 10 new moons around Uranus (Moskowitz). From this, it can be concluded that the funding of space exploration is a clear driver of scientific…
Edwin Hubble was an famous American astronomer who contributed many discoveries and new ideas to the field of extragalactic astronomy during his lifetime. He is regarded as one of the most valuable astronomers from the 20th century. Edwin Powell Hubble was born to Virginia Lee Hubble and John Powell Hubble in Marshfield, Missouri on 20 November 1889. In 1900, his family moved to Wheaton, Illinois. As a child, Hubble was gifted both intellectually and athletically, excelling in baseball, football, basketball, and track.…
The universe expanded rapidly - from the size of a pin's head to that of the entire Solar System in less than a few seconds, and it is still growing to form the cold, dark and inhospitable vastness that we know today. Among all the…
Vulcan the mysterious planet said to have messed up most scientific findings. Vulcan was a planet made up to fill the gap in unequal Scientific findings. Urbain Le Vernier, a mathematician in 1840, was very interested in the Unusual Way, Mercury orbited the sun. He decided to look into it further, and using Isaac Newton’s theory of gravitation, he was able to calculate the orbit of mercury. He then compared his results to the actual real motion of mercury and they did not add up.…
Describe the development of single dish radio telescopes and advantages of radio interferometers. Discuss major discoveries that were possible after detection of radio waves from space and how they changed our understanding of Universe. Astronomy is all about increasing our understandings about our Universe through observing objects like stars, galaxies and other bodies which exist outside Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomers make observations of these celestial phenomena by collecting electromagnetic radiation.…
Taoism is an ancient East Asian faith based on the belief that all things in the universe are guided by a higher universal power. Taoists believe that there is a duality between all things. There is always the black and the white, the day and the night. This philosophy says that there can exist no good without evil, and vice versa. Taoists represent this philosophy with the Yin – Yang.…
This is owing to the fact that no matter how well we believe we understand the universe, although now we are aware we barely know anything, there is always a chance that our current theories are incorrect in representing an objective reality. One recognized example of this is Newtonian Mechanics. Although Newton’s equations and laws hold true for most scenarios that we utilize them today, they are not a true representation of how the universe works. We are familiar with this since Einstein came and presented his theory of relativity, or more so his own expansion on an already existing theory of electrical relativity. The equations that Einstein created for his theory will work in all the situations that Newton’s equations will along with countless other scenarios that generally involve speeds approaching the speed of light.…
From the biggest cities to the smallest of molecules, the earth and its dynamics have been widely studied over the span of human history. Bright individuals have made astounding discoveries that has allowed the human race to come closer to finding an answer explaining the forces at work around them. Starting from the early days of the Grecian empire with Aristotle and Plato to the challenging ideals of Newton and Copernicus, science has been completely redefined and continues to grow as a result. Thomas Kuhn described particular scientific events, such as the transition from Aristotelian to Newtonian physics, as a paradigm shift that is realized when questioning the flaws of the then understood subject. The paradigm shift can be viewed…
