Abstract: My research paper is covering the different theories covering the origins of life. Primordial Soup: The primordial soup theory says that life began in a lake or ocean as a combination of chemicals created amino acids, and from there life evolved. A Russian chemist named A.I. oprin and an English geneticist named J.B.S. Haldane came up with this theory in 1920. to test this theory they collected and mixed elements thought to be on earth at the time and sparked the mixture with…

Twenty three years ago, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was discovered by Carolyn S. and Eugene M. Shoemaker and David H. Levy, hence the name. That breezy March night as they were taking pictures of the sky to look for comets, they noticed something strange about some of the comets they found. Because it was the nineth comet they found, they named it Shoemaker-Levy 9, or SL9. As they looked closer, they realized that the comet was near Jupiter. Doing some research on SL9, they discovered it has been…

Imagine finding fossils of an undiscovered sauropod while adventuring with some friends. Well that is what happened to Elmer S. Riggs. He discovered the first fossils of the Brachiosaurus. In 1900, Riggs found a partial skeleton of a Brachiosaurus in the rocks of the Brushy Basin Membrane of the Morrison Formation. The fossils were studied and information on this species was revealed. Brachiosaurs lived in the late Jurassic period, which was about 145 to 156 million years ago. The Jurassic…

The American space program alone has developed countless technologies that have improved and saved lives. NASA has had over one thousand successful spin-offs that include: Lasik surgery, Tempurfoam, improved kidney dialysis and water purification systems, sensors to test for hazardous gases, energy-saving building materials, and fire-resistant fabrics. When the Hubble telescope was launched in 1990, a flaw in the design of its optics produced blurry images. Three years later NASA was able to…

NASA Deserves More Funding As a federal agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) receives it’s funding from the annual federal budget passed by the United States Congress. For the fiscal year of 2017, NASA’s budget was $19.5 billion. This number being only about 0.489% of the total US budget at $4 trillion. However, the American public on average, believes NASA’s budget has a much larger share of the federal budget than it actually does. Space Exploration beyond the…

car 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…

Mars capital Mons, and turned it into the battle field for Venus’s army. Then president Miles of Mars sent an alert message to all of the the planet's, moons, comets, and asteroid fields about the threat of…

mechanism that will be used to mine into rocks on the moon and other celestial bodies and capture samples of the rock composition on these celestial bodies. This sample is only the start of the space mining sub-industry. Many geologists believe that asteroids contain extremely high concentrations of different metals, such as nickel, iron and other precious metals. According to the article, the supply of these metals located outside our atmosphere has been mocked up all the way into the…

When immigrants decide to travel to America, they are faced with many challenges. Yuri Herrera, a Hispanic author, uses these challenges to inspire his short stories. In his stories, “The Objects” and “The Last Ones” Herrera writes about crossing the border, social hierarchy, and being used by others. Herrera’s story, “The Objects,” is about an office building, and at night its workers turn into inhuman animals and objects. The main characters in this story are the narrator and Rafa. Herrera’s…

This is relatable to the audience, as most of us do have our own “Asteroid Miners”, something that sets the bar for our standards of literature that is good and bad, and pushes us to surpass the latter. Repetition of the word zestful gives us a personal picture of Stephen King, and how the novel caused him disgust towards the diction. Yet, he goes on to say, “Asteroid Miners” was an important book in my life as a reader.” Why does he say this? Trial and error. Disappointment…
