is the belief that each Jovian planet formed by accretion of gas on a rocky core”. Rodger A. Freedman, Robert M. Geller, and William J. Kaufmann III. Universe tenth edition. Terrestrial planets are closer to the sun and are also inside of the asteroid belt. The surface of terrestrial planets are very rocky and contain metal. It is believed that our planets form from nebulas. A nebula is a cloud of interstellar gas and dust. According to Nola Taylor Redd contributor of space.com “4.6 years ago,…
like our sun had developed more than 4.5 billion years ago. It was a target even before Galileo had launched. Four spacecrafts had reached Jupiter before Galileo did; Voyager 1 and 2 as well as Pioneer 10 and 11 were those four spacecrafts but were unable to stay and it limited the information that the scientists had needed. It was from those spacecrafts that NASA decided to construct Galileo to discover more information on Jupiter and its moons. The journey to Jupiter itself was a hard one,…
home to claim what was, by right and law, his. However, when Jason reached his boyhood home, he was turned away by his half-uncle. Frank Pelias told him, “Go to the stars, and bring me a sheet of pure platinum. They can be found just through the asteroid belt. However, you must get one from the Colchites, on their planet, Aeetes. Then, and only then, will you get this land.”…
In theory, we can look at the asteroid as one giant particle with a static electric charge. As our asteroid moves rapidly through the air, it now becomes a moving charge. Once it becomes a moving charge, it should be capable of producing a magnetic field, as it produces its own current by moving through the air. The exact magnitude of the field will depend on the speed and charge of the asteroid, which will likely vary at any moment. The fragment entering the earth’s atmosphere is heated to a…
Freddie Mercury Freddie is the most influential singer because he is remembered by an asteroid,he made it to top 10 songs in Britain,and he also wrote one of there top hit songs Bohemian Rhapsody.

flew in the Falcon Heavy Rocket, “the most powerful rocket flying these days” says Newsela. If all goes to plan, the Roadster can go all the way to the asteroid belt in between Jupiter and Mars. Elon Musk stated that the car traveled farther than expected and the car might just go father than the dwarf planet, Ceres which is in the asteroid belt, although the car was only supposed to go as far as the planet Mars. Inside the car sits a life-size mannequin who was named “Starman” after the song by…

Prehistoric creature such as dinosaurs were believed to be wiped out by a meteorite/asteroid or another catastrophic event. How did an asteroid cause a mass extinction causing the majority of a planet’s population to die? Newton’s laws of motion can explain how and why a asteroid caused a mass extinction wiping out an entire planet’s evolution. Scientist have multiple hypotheses leading to the end of the Cretaceous Era or T-K event. One of such, is the astronomical event that hit the earth…
pull of Saturn as like Jupiter Saturn was closer to the centre of the Solar System so it had more effect on Jupiter. As Jupiter travelled inwards it gently nudged the Asteroid belt essentially switching places with it, and then as Jupiter went further out it encountered an area of icy objects and pushed many of them into the Asteroid belt. The evidence behind this theory is Mars itself, according to the inner planets Mars should be a lot larger than in currently is. So were did all the extra…
