Essay on Life on Mars

Harry Bittering’s perspective changes from ‘nothing is safe here; got to get back to earth’ to ‘this is nice. Where did all the humans go?’. His change is influenced by the martian ‘poison’ which changes him into a martian. Anything on the martian land gets tainted in it, and he gets infected as well. However, he had the most amount of resistance, for it says, “No! cried part of himself, deep down, put away, locked tight, suffocating. No! No!” (Bradbury, 488). This change says that identity may…

Pluto, the most puzzling world in the solar system, is the second largest dwarf planet made of ice and rock. It is 5.9 billion km from the Sun; it has the width of North America. It is a very cold place with minimum temperature of -370 degree Fahrenheit on the surface. One year on Pluto is equal to 248 Earth’s years; it takes a very long time to orbit the Sun. In addition, a day in Pluto lasts 6 Earth’s day. Pluto is a world that stands with light and shade, what causes this contrast may be that…

The Northern Lights are collisions of gaseous particles in Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun’s atmosphere. Variation color are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding. The most common color is a pale yellowish-green is produced by the oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the Earth. All red auroras are very rare, they are produced by high altitude oxygen at heights of up to 200 miles. Nitrogen produces blue or purplish-red aurora. In the 17th…

The government should continue to fund NASA because according to the History of Space Exploration Project we did, it shows that we weren’t able to see what Earth really looked like until Explorer 6 was launched. This is important because for the longest time, people thought the earth was flat. Then, after that we said it was a sphere. But, we never really knew what Earth looked like until launching a satellite capable of sending pictures of Earth from space. These pictures showed if Earth was…

that Mars was habitable and we wanted to go and live on Mars? Just being in space is dangerous. All these movies about space is actually giving us a warning about what could happen. The Apollo Movies are actual events that happened in astronautics in the early age of space flight and that was just going to the moon. Here are some reasons on why we shouldn't be going to Mars. First of all, going to Mars would cost millions. No, billions, about 6 billion or more. The rover sent to Mars…

Giant Impact Theory The moons formation isn't clear to this day, although it does have many theories on its formation. The moons biggest theory is the Giant Impact Theory, which states that a mars sized object strikes earth breaking pieces off, and the gravitational force combines the broken pieces of earth into one, which is known as the Earths moon. The Earths and moons mantle are exactly identical, supporting the impact theory ("Origin of the Moon"). The moon doesn't have any identical…

The Dawn Mission created an image of the Solar System completed by learning both distinct bodies with the same tools on the same spacecraft. In order for the Dawn to carry three science instruments data that will be used in combination to characterize the bodies. The data information that returned from the spacecraft could offer chances for information in our knowledge of how the Solar System shaped. The instruments that are involved are a visible camera, a visible and electromagnetic mapping…

In a recent NASA blog post, Kelsi Singer, a researcher at Southwest Research Institute working on NASA’s New Horizons, goes over an interesting discovery made about Pluto: It seems to have a near infinite supply of nitrogen. Pluto is Gassy The most recent images returned by New Horizons shows that Pluto’s surface is mostly composed of nitrogen, just like Earth’s. There is; however, about a 20 percent difference in composition; Earth’s atmosphere is around ~78 percent nitrogen while Pluto’s is…

collaboration included the objections and claims being made against them about plagiarism from Robert Hooke. Without some help from Halley, this book could have possibly not been published. Newton’s work throughout the book influenced many factors of life, including modern space flight. But, Halley’s contributions were brilliant as well. His included, determining Earth’s distance to the Sun, the motion of stars and predicting the orbit of the comet that was then unnamed but now known as Halley’s…

The Effect of Absurdity in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams is a very unique book and has many different elements that set it apart from other science fiction novels. The story has interesting and relatable characters and the writing style is humorous and clever. However, what really makes this story stand out is the absurdity of some of the things the characters encounter while they travel through the universe after Earth is destroyed.…
