to the government of Mars and our wonderful friend Myran will take care of the rest. chapter 6: we flew into the milky way and gazed at the stars. This was a highway for these aliens. As soon as we past the milky way asteroids started hitting our spaceship. When one of the asteroid hit our window it made our glass shatter into space, luckily we wore our…
The universe today is huge. Scientists and Astronomers are finding new galaxies, planets asteroids, and more. But today, that's not what we are going to talk about. We’re going to talk about galaxies. Have you ever wondered what a galaxy really is? In the early 1900s, astronomers . Astronomers argued about spiral shaped, gas, dust were getting closer to discovering galaxiessome star vast cloud found in the night sky. In 1919, Edwin Hubble, an astronomer found the answers. Hubble used his…
being built for future missions. I believe that engineering the tools of scientific discovery will lead to the most important breakthroughs of the 21st century, especially when it comes to what we know about space. NASA is currently on track for an asteroid redirect mission and a Mars mission set to take place in the next 30 years. In addition to these two examples, there are many more missions being planned…
This episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, Neil deGrasse states that “this adventure is made possible by generations of searches strictly adhering to a simple set of rules: test ideas by experiment and observation, build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail, follow the evidence and see where it leads, and question everything. “ The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Earth’s closest neighbor is the moon, it has no sky, no ocean, or life. Mars has as much land as Earth…
to back up why they could have been a cause as well to the extinctions. Everyone will ultimately make his or her own decision/thoughts on what could have happened, and of course all hypotheses would be subject to analysis. Asteroid impact theory. The impact of a 10 km+ asteroid would blow a huge rock and vapor above the atmosphere, this would form a large dust cloud that would settle out slowly through the atmosphere during a few weeks, months, or even years. The impact and cloud would spread…
on Earth. Furthermore, dinosaurs appeared approximately two hundred and thirty million years ago, and the modern Homo sapiens only about a hundred thousand years ago. Thus, the evolution of life takes a long time. Another theory is that a giant asteroid crashed on Gnaritus a million years ago,…
The wonders of space leave countless nations all over the globe in demand to discover further. Especially in this day and age, room for the development of new and innovative technologies can aid in the prediction of massive catastrophic collisions and uncover alternative eco-friendly ways humans rapidly consume and dispose of resources. These ideas have lead to the suggestions of permanently inhabiting new life off of planet Earth. It may seem like a far-fetched idea, however, scientists,…
as the problems with poverty are very important. Yet the amount of money that could potentially be made with space technology such as asteroid mining would help these problems far more than just redirecting current funds out of space. Asteroid mining would help the problem as first this would require workers providing more jobs, and even the smallest of asteroids can provide millions of dollars which would funnel into the common people.. There are also arguments about the dangers of space travel…
To me, Astronomy is the science relative to space. It is the answer to very natural questions: the exploration of time and space. When I go and wonder about what there is above the sky, or what was there at the beginning, astronomy, through its different sections (such as planetary, cosmology etc…) helps me to answer this questions. I’m grateful to live in an age already advanced in this matter. However, there is so much more to explore, and so much more answer to find, and finding these answers…
bacterias. The poisonous gas from these anaerobic bacterias would have killed off the rest of the animals and plants. The cause of the Cretaceous mass extinction is believed to have been the collision of a large comet or asteroid with Earth. The impact from this comet or asteroid would have resulted in a cloud of debris that would have blocked off sunlight and severely disturbed the global climate for several…
