Venus Essay

Hey everyone! Did you know that it rains on different worlds? On Earth when stuff falls from the sky, what do we see? Well it varies depending on the temperature but you can rest assured that what you see and feel is water. The stuff is everywhere! It comes in different forms such as liquid and a solid. So how is rain formed? Rain happens through a process called the water cycle. Simply put, water is evaporated from sources like rivers, lakes and oceans and rises into the air. As temperatures…

Introduction The Venera Soviet missions consisted of several space probes sent to Venus (University of Oregon). Venera 13 and 14 were part of the 1981 Venus launch opportunity (University of Oregon). Venera 13 and 14 were built identically the same and they launched 5 days apart (Ivankov, NASA Archive). Venera 14 was the last lander within the Venera series. The Soviet Academy of Sciences (U.S.S.R) funded the Venera 14 mission (Ivankov, NASA Archive). The launch site was located at Tyuratam…

over the world may have created art with similarly exaggerated features. What did you find puzzling? I found the universality of the Venus figures to be puzzling. The film showed many examples of such Venus figures across many modern-day European countries, like France and the Czech Republic, but none outside of this area. I would be interested in knowing if these Venus figures existed outside of Europe or if it was purely a Western phenomenon, as it was not mentioned. If…

In All Summer In a Day , Bradbury explains that jealousy and fear can lead you down a path of bad things. He shows the readers this with a character named Margot, who is different from all the other kids on Venus. And the so called normal kids on Venus have a over looming fear that she does remember the warmth and brightness of the sun, leading them to bully her. The kids who don’t remember the sun become jealous of her memories on earth and try to block her out of anything that they do. If…

The Search For Life on Other Planets/Moons For years and years scientists have had mars in their crosshairs when discussing life on other planets within our solar system. Now say we discover that mars is completely lifeless in every way possible. Is there any other possibility of life in our solar system? The answer to that question is in the moons of Jupiter. More specifically the moon europa. There is no absolute proof because scientists have not had the opportunity to land anything…

Whether in sculpture or in painting, Venus finds her way into countless works of art. The goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, the nude Venus is a common motif that may represent a number of ideas: chastity, the sin of sexuality, or Neo-Platonic interpretations of love. Botticelli is no stranger to the use of Venus in art; three of his paintings – Birth of Venus, Primavera, and Venus and Mars – depict Venus as the central figure. However, very little is known about the backgrounds of these…

Recent revelations in the news over NASA finding “liquid” water on Mars has gotten many people excited about the possibility of sending humans to live on the planet, without much insight into the actual reasons why that idea is still not currently feasible. A planet must have much more than just water in order to be a habitable place, and these factors are often overlooked, in fact the same factors affecting the water supply on Mars are also the factors that factors behind the other reasons it…

I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…

Global warming or climate change is the gradual increase of Earth’s temperature over time, through the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the rising carbon level in the atmosphere, trapping radiation, and heating the Earth. Humans are depending on fossil fuels that release these emissions. Though we have increasingly started depending on renewable resources that don’t release these harmful gases into the atmosphere, we can already see the effects today and if this doesn’t stop now the…

Created in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek, Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that can be used in a wide variety of ways [1]. It is used to make body armor, tires and automotive belts. Governments around the world use this material to protect their soldiers in combat, motorcyclists use it to protect themselves against road rash in the event of a crash, and it is also utilized in ropes and cables. While these uses for Kevlar have revolutionized personal protection, there is one particular application for…
