One of the most remarkable feats of space exploration was the landing of a man on the Moon. On July 16, 1969, NASA launched its famous Saturn V rocket into orbit for a journey across the void of space to Earth’s only natural satellite. A little over a hundred hours after launch, it accomplished what many people considered impossible just a few years ago—a man from Earth walked on the lunar surface. The crew collected rock samples and performed numerous experiments, in the process greatly expanding the databases of knowledge on the Moon…
The moon phases are caused by the sun illuminating or lighting up one side of the moon. The sun is always illuminating one-half of the moon, depending on what place you are on Earth. That also affects what moon phase you see in The Lunar Cycle. The Lunar Cycle start with the New moon and then goes along to Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, then the Full moon. The cycle still continues on for Waning Gibbous Waning Crescent till it comes back to a New moon.…
Sadia Usman Professor Acoppola Lit237 10/27/2014 In the seventeenth century, scientist and philosophers were lacking the instruments to make observations and further their experiments. The seventeenth century was also known as the scientific revolution. During the scientific revolution, philosophers mainly confided in people from the church and the ancient world. Before the scientific revolution, the Europeans were uneducated about science.…
Before they could hop on a spaceship and head for the moon, they had to go through a mental and physical training. Collins discovers that flying a spaceship is more than just moving the steering wheel around and keeping your foot on the pedal, and is even more complicated than even flying a fast jet. After going through hours of training he was finally ready, so he walked in the ship, sat in his designated seat and set off preparing to fly to the moon. As he was flying away from earth faster than the speed of sound, he noticed that, from a distance, the Earth followed the same lunar pattern as it got bigger and bigger until it was full, and then it began to shrink down to a sliver, then to a new moon, following the exact same time as the lunar cycle. This was the first discovery he made on his trip to the moon.…
I think you should go back and talk to all thoses English teachers that did not think to teach the difference between a Essay and a Story:) . we just covered this in my English class . So I wrote what the elements of each a story and an essay were. I explained by putting the element and its definition and using an example of a story (“Save the Moon for Kredy Dicitson”) and using an example of a Essay (The Value of a Mess). One of the many Stories and Essays we read in the past few weeks, to grasp the concept of the difference between a stories and an Essays.…
It began with having a lot going on that has involved weapons made out of nuclear fission and probably makes you think if you think if nuclear fission has harmed society. There many examples what good it’s done for us and many harm that it caused. It has allowed us to use it for greater things but also taken advantage of by using it for weapons of destruction. They’ve already used one on people already and killed many. That is not the way using nuclear fission, they use it for threats, power, and their own purposes.…
With many religions and beliefs, comes a variety of creation stories. Through stories mankind has learned all kinds of lessons as well as where they came from, and these two creation stories are no exception. The similarities and differences between the Iroquois and Judeo-Christian creation stories are uncanny. Genesis 1-4 describes how God made the Earth in technically six days, since he took the seventh day off and made it holy; as well as several unfortunate events that took place involving Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. The creation story perfectly demonstrates their belief in the concept of sin.…
The God Apollo (Both Greek and Roman forms) is known as one of the main Gods of Olympus. Apollo is also known in his Greek form as Phoebus. Over the years of the Greek and Roman empires he was an important figure of worship and belief. In this essay I will talk about Apollo's origin, his appearance, abilities, and stories about him. Apollo’s origin started on the Island of Delos.…
In 1906 Percival Lowell, who was a wealthy Bostonian who founded Lowell Observatory, started a search for a ninth planet in our solar system which he called planet X. But as Percival was looking for it he died in 1916 with no prevail, he had gotten pictures but planet X was very faint in the pictures, and so after 10 years the search for the planet began again but this time a 23 year old astronomer named Clyde Tombaugh who proved the existence of the mysterious planet in 1930; the planet was named Pluto after discovery. Pluto was called the smallest planet in our solar system and the ninth planet from the star, and most of it is made up of frozen nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide and probably has a small core with some metals. It got it’s name from an eleven year old girl named Venetia Burney who suggested naming it after the Roman god of death because it was most likely beyond freezing there that far away from the sun. Pluto also has five moons, Kerberos, Styx, Nix, Hydra, and Charon which is about half the size of Pluto’s. The small planet is only 1,400 miles wide making it slightly smaller than Earth’s moon.…
The Apollo 11 mission is credited for not only landing a man on the moon, but also for collecting the first samples from another planetary body (SNASM). Through the research, many theories were proven to either be true or false. Prior to the moon landing, scientists had many questions concerning the moon’s surface and even the possibility of life on the moon. Before the moon landing , the idea of life on the moon was widely accepted. Apollo 11, however proved that idea wrong.…
Astronomy in Yosemite The Sun The sun is a star located at the center of the universe, and without it, there would be no life on Earth. It is the most important source of energy for humans as it provides us light, heat, and more. It can reach surface temperatures of about 5,276 degrees Celsius, and 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit. The composition of the Sun changes slowly as hydrogen is converted into helium in its core; however, it is currently made up of around 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, and less than 2% of other metals.…
The best answer I have heard so far as to how the earth came about was with the Indigenous religion as to the world of having no point of origin. All the biblical stories that I have heard seems to have come from other religion except Christianity. How is it that the stories, example the story of Sargon changes to Moses? Are both these Gods the same Gods?…
1: The function of the Nucleolus -rewrite the ribosomal RNA and combines with the protein 2: The Nucleolus takes up about 25% of the nucleus 3: Example #1: The Nucleolus is similar to a principal, because just like a nucleolus assembles ribosomes the principal assembles teachers to spread their knowledge with the students just like the proteins Example#2: The Nucleolus is like a factory in the way that a factory produces things just like the main job of the nucleolus is to produce ribosomes 4: To demonstrate the structure of our function, Raina and I decided to use a cantaloupe as our main model. The skin of the cantaloupe is presented as the outer membrane, and the green part of the skin becomes the inner membrane. Next, by cutting…
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.…
