Asteroid

Summary: Three asteroids have the potential to hit Earth in the next millennia. The first two possibilities are asteroids entitled 2009 FD and RQ36, and could hit Earth in between 2175 and 2199. The asteroid 2009 FD has a one in three-hundred and sixty-five chance of hitting, which doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it it does hit, our descendants will be in trouble. RQ36 has the likliness of hitting Earth by a one in one-thousand and seven-hundred chance, but even though it seems an unlikely…

I wake up and find myself on an unknown island. My galaide’ has broken into pieces. I can’t remember what happened last night. I look around to see a massive volcano in front of me. Seconds later, a robot comes flying out of it and scans the environment. Out of nature, I hide in the bushes. It doesn’t take too long before the robot detects my heavy breathing. I guess I wasn’t meant to be a ninja. It catches me with it’s mechanical claw and takes me away heading inside the volcano. To my…

Where there is power, there are those who wish to obtain it. The planetary location of the Tarukfama was revealed to a breed of Alien's called the “Zarbitz”. These were less than intelligent life that possessed immense weaponry and fire power. In order to add their collective the Zarbitz always travel with the entirety of their species. The zarbitz only objective is to consume all life from planet to planet using the life force they draw from them to replicate more and more of their species.…

4 understanding of the Suns temperatures, in June of 2013, NASA launched the IRIS solar observatory. IRIS, short for Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, was launched to use imaging spectrography on the Sun. NASA’s goal was to determine “how solar material moves, gathers energy, and heats up as it travels through a little-understood region in the sun 's lower atmosphere. This interface region between the Sun 's photosphere and corona powers its dynamic million-degree atmosphere and drives the…

Humans have this innate desire to learn about the world around them. This desire was ingrained in the psyche of our human ancestors in order for us to live in a place that is more fruitful. We, as a human species, have explored the deepest of oceans and the tallest of mountains. We have flown our first flight and sailed our widest sea. We have buildings piercing the clouds and railways extending across continents. We have split the atom and eradicated diseases. But, since our beginning, we have…

Joint Probability of Non-Independent Events For the joint probability of non-independent events A and B, we need to use a conditional probability. For P(Zargon-AND-Abduct), we cab use P(Zargon|Abduct) or P(Abduct|Zargon). P(Zargon) x P(Abduct|Zargon) = 8 /20 x 3 /8 = 24/160 = 3 /20 P(Abduct) x P(Zargon|Abduct) = 6 /20 x 3 /6 = 18/120 = 3 /20 Here is a different problem. The UFOs are invading, and the military shoots two special UFO missiles. The missiles blow up two of the UFOs. What is…

life, or even dwarf planets being discovered every day. I chose to write about the dwarf planet Ceres, according to Elizabeth Howell, (Space.com Contributor), “it was first discovered by Sicilian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi on Jan. 1, 1801, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the closest dwarf planet to Earth.” [1] I took a huge interest in finding out more about this dwarf planet because the whole mystery of it containing water vapor on its surface can be believed to have its own…

History of Asteroids Asteroids have been a part of our solar system ever since its formation billion of years ago. Asteroids have a distinct formation, which gives each one its own physical characteristics that help researchers to classify these asteroids, and sometimes, depending on the size, they are given a name at the time they are discovered. Asteroids can also have a huge impact on Earth; some are capable of even causing a global disaster. Asteroids are said to be leftover particles from…

seen a movie something to do with asteroids? Well if you have, you may have noticed that the directors make the movies a little overdramatic. Half of the clips you see on a movie are all Hollywood, like for example they make the mission look so interesting like the astronauts are not bored any second of the day. Actually it is not true you get very bored when you are on a space mission. Although you may get bored, it is worth going to space and pick up asteroids. Scientist have been…

Solar System Explanation The parts of the solar system are the Sun, Planets, the Kuiper Belt(meteors), the Main Belt(asteroids), comets, dwarf planets, and moons. The sun is located in the center of the universe and all of the other objects orbit around it. The sun only rotates about every 25-36 Earth days. The sun is the closest star and a heat source for almost all the planets. All of the planets orbit around the sun but all at different paces. For example, It takes Earth 365 days to orbit…
