Comet 332P/Ikeya-Murakami (hereinafter referred to as the comet 332P) roaming in the inner solar system has 4 billion 500 million years, but due to a series of gravity, comet 332P is pushed into a new orbit, but due to the new orbit too close to the sun, eventually led to the slow rotation of death ending. The Harbert space telescope to shoot to the final image after the demise of the comet aftermath this unlucky. To a large extent, the comet is a very unfortunate existence. Comets formed by ice…

Greer turned around to find her seventeen year old daughter Susanna outside staring up at the sky. Curious, she went to the window, started to open it, changed her mind, walked to the door that led from the kitchen to the back porch and then joined her daughter in the backyard. "What are you looking at?" She asked as she turned around to see what had enthralled her youngest child. "Possible meteorite." Susanna said, pointing off in the distance at a bright object headed their way. "The radio…

Scientists have discovered ancient grains. No, not the quinoa and spelt you'll find in Whole Foods, but ancient grains with explosive origins from Space. By extracting dust grains from meteorites, scientists were able to find out their history and how they came to Earth. STARS SPEWED OUT PRESOLAR GRAINS ALL OVER EARTH As one may assume, presolar grains are older than the sun. They were thrown up by the stars in the universe hundreds of millions of years ago. Way before Earth had a solar system…

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…

planets in our solar system. Another aspect of the site is that students can learn about the different moons of the planets. This site also contains interesting information about Saturn’s rings. Finally, the students will be able to learn about asteroids, comets, and meteorites. There is an interactive map, which the children could use to select the planet that they would like information on. The map shows the planets relationship to the sun, how the planets orbit the sun, how…

This paper is an overview of dawn mission which was launched in September 2007 by NASA to study two of the large bodies in the asteroid belt and these protoplanets are Vesta and Ceres. The dawn mission was a mission that was designed to travel to the center of the main asteroid belt to orbit and study two of the largest belt asteroid and those belt asteroids are Vesta and Ceres. Dawn was not only sent to study and understand the present states of Vesta and Ceres, and it was also sent there to…

The brand new Asteroid Redirection Mission (ARM) has just gone under review from NASA, and it looks to be ready by 2021. We will see the agency try to get a space boulder from the surface of nearby asteroids and place it into lunar orbit. This isn't nearly as cool as blowing it up with a nuke, but it's a safe way to test the future of our planetary defense program. NASA'S ARM HAS OTHER PLANS While this highly-anticipated mission's main goal is to redirect asteroids, NASA has other uses for the…

I credit my mother for instilling the strong faith I have in an external force. When I was younger and I had a nightmare, my mother would lay down with me and recite a specific prayer every night until the nightmare went away. Before I take flight, I recite a prayer hoping the plane does not malfunction or crash. When I was 19 years young, I had a near death experience that opened my eyes to the realization that everything does happen for a reason. My friend saved my life but the odd thing was,…

Ever since 2006, when Pluto was "demoted" to be a dwarf planet, people all over the world have complained about the change. The complaints are based partly on nostalgia; as children, they learned that Pluto was a planet, and they do not like change. However, in this essay, I argue that classifying Pluto as a dwarf planet is justified as the classification is useful; however, its status as a dwarf planet should not indicate that it is not as interesting as the planets. I will discuss, first, the…

long time ago, extinct mysteriously. Paleontologists and scientists have established a variety of possible theories to explain. However, all these theories are still debatable.There are four main possible explanations: Asteroid Impact, Volcano Eruption, Falling Tide and Asteroid Impact theory was established by Luis Alvarez in 1980.Many plants and animals were disappeared abruptly from the fossil record as one moves from layers of rocks documenting the end of the Cretaceous up into rocks…
