Moon Essay

The Natural World The poem “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” by Walt Whitman is talking about him listening to an educated astronomer lecture using his proofs, figures, columns, charts, diagrams and how to add, divide, and measure them. While he was sitting in the lecture room with that astronomer teaching, the rest of the room began to applause. It seemed to be too much for him because he became unaccountably tired and sick. He felt that way until he left the room and went outside and…

January Other Names: Birch Moon Wolf Moon Cold Moon Frost Moon Old Moon Plan a ritual of protection around your home and family. Time to review your goals. Develop your inner self. Purify water for Imbolc. Since this is a protective month, make protective sachets. Power Flow: sluggish, below the surface; beginning and conceiving. Protection, reversing spells. Conserving energy by working on personal problems that involve no one else. Getting your various bodies to work smoothly together for the…

relatives, friends and crew members of each mission into the space. These two movies are quite different but still have a lot in common. “Apollo 13” is about seventh manned mission in American Apollo space program and the third one intended to land on the Moon. Unfortunately, during this mission, an oxygen tank exploded and caused serious problems for the astronauts. This movie depicts the hardship connected with this explosion. It shows how crew members tried to…

the old days, many believe that we are the only living things on our galaxy or even in the whole universe. No one even bothers to look beyond our planet and explore the space for that matter. Though in Ancient Egypt, Babylonians use to study the Sun, Moon and stars just to generate a calendar for farming and religious rites but it never extended that far. Then in early 1900's people started to explore space and study matters beyond our planet. Edwin Hubble was the first person who introduced us…

Andy Warhol's Moonwalk exemplifies how pop art took inspiration from cultural trends and, in this case, from the events of the cold war and the space race. The image envisions a single electrifying moment, when man took his first step on the moon, using a technique known as screen printing to capture the dynamic composition of the image. Andy Warhol, a connoisseur of pop art and expressionism, screen painted his Moonwalk only months before his death in the year 1987. It is currently located in…

“We’ve grown used to the idea of space, and perhaps we forget that we’ve only just begun. We’re still pioneers.” On January 28, 1986, President Ronald Reagan addressed the Nation’s fears and sorrows after the explosion of the NASA Space Shuttle, the Challenger. Almost a half-century ago, man began to look past the stars and into the cosmos and planets beyond Earth. The brilliant mind behind the curtain, Wernher von Braun, “The Father of Modern Rockets”, sparked the curiosity and imagination of…

We have gone to the moon numerous of times since Neil Armstrong walked on the Earth's natural satellite almost 50 years ago on July 20, 1969, with the assistance of aerospace engineers (Dunbar). Now it is time to “boldly go where no man has gone before.” Aerospace engineering has enabled men and women to complete the imaginable. This career consists of two overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineers work with the principles of physics of…

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 cost 2.5 billion. Sending people and supplies over there would…

and measuring the amount of rain that fell yesterday? I believe curiosity is what drives people to do things that normal people would consider weird. Looking at the sky and wondering what is beyond the sky. Just like the astronomers who reached the moon in 1969, they thought beyond what a mediocre person could think of. In the generation we live in, anyone can travel to different country with a click of a button. Those who thirst for adventure…

1. How does the force of the Earth’s gravity 250 miles above the surface of the Earth compare to the force of gravity at the surface of the Earth? Is this surprising? The force of the Earth’s gravity 250 miles above has less pressure and less gravity because gravity pulls everything to the center of the Earth, so the farther the distance; the less gravity. The force of the Earth’s gravity 250 miles above the surface has about 90 percent of what the force of gravity is on Earth’s surface.…
