Apollo 14

Despite Apollo 13 being considered a failed mission due to the fact that they did not land on the moon, it may have actually helped NASA out and proved to themselves that they can handle things in high pressure situations. The mission was able to get some exploration done by taking pictures of the moon, but the only encounters that took place were problems such as an oxygen tank explosion. What make this mission historically significant is that it boosted US morale because they were able to return the crew to earth safely while further advancing progress in the space race. Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission installment in the American Apollo Space Program, and was intended to be the third lunar landing, although that did not go to plan. It was a failed lunar landing, but it failed before they even considered landing on the moon with an oxygen tank exploding shortly after liftoff. This mission hurt NASA in the fact that it was a failed mission, but it helped them in the fact that they returned all 3 men onboard of the spacecraft safely to earth (for the most part), they got photography of the moon, and showed that they could adapt under unexpected situations. First, to introduce Apollo 13, it was apart of the American Apollo space program. It was the seventh manned mission and…

depending on what they are trying to date. In this essay, the techniques of dating objects will be explored and compared. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, but all extremely complex and scientific, each with its own purpose. The methods that will be discussed will be Radio Carbon Dating, Relative Dating, Absolute Dating, Remote Sensing, and Dendrochronolgy. Radio Carbon Dating is one of the ways scientists use to date objects, like bones. In the video, Radio Carbon Dating, the…

Radiocarbon dating was invented similarly with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Furthermore, due to the long duration of time elapse, it was hard to date the time when the scrolls were produced. Although the hot and dry climate of the Dead Sea prevented it from rotting severely, it was still difficult to exclude the containments included in the fragments and scrolls. As a result, the process of processing the samples was intricate. At the first part of the process, the scientists tried to…

not the only ways. There are also methods like carbon dating and absolute dating. Some people believe in the Bible which describes the earth being created but never mentions a time so no one knows how long ago it actually happened. Other people do not believe in the Bible and try to use scientific methods to uncover the time of the Earth's creation but one thing holds true between both is that dating can help uncover this secret but they are not the only ones. There are more ways to date fossils…

Characterization of Toby If asked, most people would describe getting a ticket as, for instance a speed ticket; a ticket you got for driving too fast. Tickets are given to us by our higher authorities if we do not follow the law. However, for Toby Heckler, that is not the case. Toby is a socially handicapped male, with a rather childish appearance. (Page 37, ‘’On the yellow paper Toby had printed in red ink ‘PRAKING MISTEAK’ and signed his name ‘TOBY’ in a childish-looking hand.’’) The fact that…

If scientists know the original amount of 14C in a creature when it died, they can measure the current amount and then calculate how many half-lives have passed. There is MUCH more, but it's freaking boring, so I think you get the jist of it. Anywhoo, Dr. Willard Libby, the founder of the carbon-14 dating method, assumed the ratio to be constant. His reasoning was based on his belief in evolution, which "assumes" the earth MUST be billions of years old. Assumptions in the scientific community…

context of one of his early paintings before the big transition to the creation of politically influenced paintings. Jacques-Louis David created the painting of, Apollo and Diana Attacking the Children of Niobe, in 1772 (Figure 1). This painting is oil on canvas with an approximate size of 48 by 61 ½ inches. At first glance, this painting had no visible brush strokes and had a very smooth and glossy surface. The art canvas is medium-sized and details were fairly visible, but it required me to…

Artemis On the island of Ortygia, Lato and Zeus gave birth to a Greek goddess and gave her the name of Artemis. Following her birth, her twin brother Apollo was born.
