Should the government be funding space exploration? What has come out of the United States space program and was it worth the investment? Does space exploration have to be government run, or are there alternative ways to explore the universe? It is questions like these that must be answered when determining the future of space exploration. Despite the dream of space exploration being a peaceful one, the U.S. space program only came about as a result of the cold war. The program improved the…

Jupiter and Mercury are both named after Roman gods. Jupiter is named after the king of the gods and Mercury is named after the messenger god. Jupiter is named after the king of the gods because it is the biggest planet. Mercury is named after the messenger god because it’s orbital period is so fast. Mercury and Jupiter’s names are for a reason. Mercury and Jupiter both fit very cohesively into solar system. For example, both planets have their own spot in the order from the sun. Mercury is…

Jet Jet, written by Tony Hoagland, uses imagery, diction, and allusion to convey his joyance in being young. By using these literary devices he is able to describe his craving for being young again. In Hoagland's first stanza it says “Sometimes i wish i were still out on the back porch, drinking jet fuel…” which automatically shows that he misses his youth. That also sets up a care free tone with a hint of regret. Hoagland also has a lot of parts in the poem where he was enjoying living in…

Robotic Penguinòs Once there was a civilization of robotic penguinòs. They became very hungry because on Mars all their food was burning up and they couldn’t cook the steak right cause they always burnt it so they would throw it away, which was a waste of food. The king/leader of the penguinòs had an idea, it was that they would fly to planet Earth so they could overrule it and take all of their food. So all the penguinòs load up their UFO’s and went on their way to Earth. Space travel in…

unsuccessful over their duration of evolution. Their shells prove to be a successful part of their evolution because it gave them the ability to be protected from predators. Also, their shells helped them to travel around and expand for better survival. The asteroid is the unsuccessful part of their evolution, since it just completely obliterated the ammonite species as a whole . 6. The Biosphere 2 was significant in understanding the impact of CO2 on coral reefs by examining the Ph levels and…

For every field of study the reason behind it is to acquire knowledge. It differs in the form of morals, abilities and outlooks. Predominantly we study marine science to be enabled to function definitely in the marine science sector, so that the eligible individuals will have a vital level of theoretical understanding and practical expertise to institute a prosperous career in the marine sector with associated industries. Ocean is a diverse universe on its own with abundant extraordinary…

Biodiversity Loss” by David Hosansky, are concerned on this topic and explain how the Earth is on the brink of a sixth mass extinction. Both articles give explanations on ways extinctions are happening all around us and the main culprit isn’t a massive asteroid or volcanic explosions, it’s us. Above all, because of the different fields, the two articles certainly hold different motives, even though both articles address the same problem. Tracy V. Wilson, the author of the article “Numerous…

Pesticide resistant GMOs, and their effects on the wellbeing of the planet In an event as influential as the asteroid that ended the Cretaceous period, Homo-Sapiens began their work terraforming their world around them. They annihilated species while promoting other. They destroyed landscapes to fulfill their wants. They mixed and meddled into everything imaginable. Over the course of their actions they slowly tapped into the promoting force of life itself… Evolution. At first they bred animals…

For our lab presentations, Natalie Lutz and I chose to research other planetary systems. We knew this was a topic that would lightly be discussed in class and therefore decided we could educate our peers further on the topic. It offered a look into the different types of ways planetary systems are discovered and the different ones that have already been discovered. Extrasolar planets are defined as planets rotating around other stars- or remnants of stars. This is comparable to our planet…

In a recent NASA blog post, Kelsi Singer, a researcher at Southwest Research Institute working on NASA’s New Horizons, goes over an interesting discovery made about Pluto: It seems to have a near infinite supply of nitrogen. Pluto is Gassy The most recent images returned by New Horizons shows that Pluto’s surface is mostly composed of nitrogen, just like Earth’s. There is; however, about a 20 percent difference in composition; Earth’s atmosphere is around ~78 percent nitrogen while Pluto’s is…
