Stardust Research Paper

Rosetta is very excited to have the opportunity to discover just what the origin of comets is while understanding just what the relationship between comets and the interstellar material they disburse during flight of which is considered by many is regarded by many, to be the origin of the entire Solar System. “Stardust ,”will be the first spacecraft to witness, at close proximity, how a comet changes as it approaches the increasing intensity of the Sun’s radiation.

The comet’s atmosphere was expected at this time to go in a coma state and while traveling by the suns extreme heat will develop a tail with the two characteristic ion and dust tails as it is exposed to the massive heat of our sun. It will also be the very first mission in history

The Rosetta mission is said to be bringing back these solid particles obtained from the cold depths of outer space, these particles are believed by many scientist to be the starting spark of life. This dust is said to be bonded within every composition in and around the universe like the plants, animals are all made of dust, even the composition of our bodies is made of this dust. These atoms are seen as the interstellar startups of the universe. This material is constantly spread throughout the galaxy by comets, dyeing stars, solar storms, and other means of massive disbursement of this elemental material.

Many scientists have be waiting for many years just to get a glimpse of some the first samples, to come back to earth since the beginning of the lunar missions of the sixties and seventies.

Planets have gone through chemical transformations, but comets have remained almost unchanged bringing with them different elements that more than likely played an large role in the formation of oceans and atmospheres.One thing people might not know about comets is that they also carry complex amount of elemental organic molecules that may or may not have been involved in the origin of life on Earth. The particles then grouped into a large cloud of gas and dust called the ‘pre-solar nebula, when this cloud made of gas and cosmic star dust had started to collapse due to the pressure of gravitational forces which is the start of the composition process of a planets

    Out-of-state offenses are automatically applied to customer records in STARS based on the AAMVA Code Dictionary (ACD) code entered. However, no control exists to ensure that the correct offense and point value are recorded when processing with ACD codes. A review of ACD descriptions and point values compared to Indiana offenses resulted in the following errors: • 8 of 386 (2%) of the partnered ACD offense descriptions did not match the description of the Indiana offense they were tied to • 14 of 386 (4%) of the partnered ACD codes entered into STARS recorded an incorrect Indiana code for the offense they were tied to • 40 of 386 (10%) of the partnered ACD codes entered into STARS assigned the incorrect amount of points for the related Indiana offense they were tied to…

    Most Holy Lord Pluto, King of the Underworld. I invoke you to curse (maledictionem) the success of the charioteer on the far right side, called Scorpus of the Green faction, who is twenty seven years old and has acquired many wins he does not deserve. May you bind his body, his mind, his hands, his eyes, his courage, his nerves, his victory, and his legs, so that he may not be able to properly steer his chariot at the Royal Games tomorrow. May you also bind the body, mind, and legs of his horses, so that they are not able to react in the Hippodrome when they are supposed to overtake any other team. If they must collide, let it be with any team of the Red, White or Green factions, but let it not be with any of the Blue.…

    The Atomic Model

    Scientists believe that stars are made of mostly gas, and this gas is made up of many atoms. In the star, the atoms in the gas bang into each other and give off different light depending on the type of atoms. This light from stars enables scientists to figure out the type and amount of atoms they are made of. Knowing the composition of the stars, we can guess how they were formed. Therefore we can see that stars are just atoms (hydrogen) hitting each other producing light.…

    Antiquated Greek Astronomy and Astrology Influences The big ball of fire in the middle of space with smaller versions of itself all around -that can be made into shapes (constellations) when you play connect the dots with them-, surrounding the planet holding the resources to produce life along with a small moon circling the planet as it orbits around the big ball of fire that is made of Hydrogen and Helium. That little planet that can create life was populated and civilization has grown from there and the humans have come up with theories as to what their world looked like from space and what was encompassing them. They’ve questioned how they were made and what “thing” or “things” made it possible for them to exist and how those “things” created the mysterious weather from the…

    Andromeda Galaxy

    On a clear and dark night from a position with low levels of pollution, the Andromeda Galaxy can be easily observed in the sky by the unaided eye, even though it is about 2.5 million light-years away from Earth. The unaided eye, however, can only perceive the galaxy as a whole and is unable to distinguish features within the galaxy. Luckily, microscopes combined with the intellect of many bright astronomers over the years have allowed us to better understand what the human eye cannot see, in particular what lies beyond the Milky Way Galaxy in our neighboring galaxy. This paper will focus on some of the recent discoveries and observations on the Andromeda Galaxy that have been key in helping our planet comprehend what lies beyond us.…

    Originating from cosmic events such as supernovas, chemical elements are the foundation of all life. Billions of years ago, a violent explosion known as the Big Bang produced helium, hydrogen, and all of the matter and energy in the universe. Generated in the cores of stars, nuclei combined to form atoms which constitute the basic unit of all chemical elements. The extensive expansion of the universe induced the birth and demise of more stars and consequently the creation of more elements.…
