program is it could pay off in the long run. They are finding places that the human population could possibly move to in the future in case earth is in jeopardy in someway. America and other places all around the world are also finding out ways to mine asteroid incase earth runs out of resources. Those are just a few ways that the space program could pay off in the future. Another reason that the space program should be invest in is that space is a large place and the human race needs to know…

scientists Luis (1911-88) and Walter Alvarez (1940-) discovered in the geological record a distinct layer of iridium–an element found in abundance only in space–that corresponds to the precise time the dinosaurs died. This suggests that a comet, asteroid or meteor impact event…

low albedo, Fobos most resembles the asteroids of type D. However, it is thought that earlier in the Martian system any more objects the size of Phobos and Deimos, which are not native asteroids, but were created by the collision of Mars with a large planetesimal. Its dimensions 27 × 21.6 × 18.8 km and a mass of 1.08 × 1016kg Phobos is one of the least satellites of the solar system. It is not spherical, but very irregular shape which is characteristic of asteroids. It is extremely dark body.…

The Little Prince, by Antione de Saint Exupéry, isn't an ordinary story. In fact, it was tailored for the child inside of us, but even as grow-ups we can't seem to understand it fully. However, Saint Exupéry's use of Archetypal theory, the hero's journey in specific, assists the reader throughout the story and eventually reveals the meaning of it. There are conflicting opinions on who exactly goes on this heroic journey. In my opinion, it's only the the little prince: the pilot on the other…

For my science reader project I read the first one hundred pages of the book, Why Nothing Can Travel Faster than Light and Other Explorations in Nature’s Curiosity Shop. In the first one hundred pages I read twelve short essays that addressed topics ranging from measuring the vastness of our universe to global warming In the first story I read, Sky Wanderers, the authors taught me about a beneficial acronym (My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Pies) to remember the names of the planets in order…

actual explanation for the formation of diamonds. Scientists cannot study them because the depth at which they form. If a diamond did form from coal, however, it would be a very impure one. Dr. Harold King wrote on Geology.com that the impact of an asteroid crashing onto the Earth’s surface can create insanely high temperature and pressure needed to create the diamond. Diamonds have actually been found near some impact sights. Scientists have also discovered diamonds inside of meteorites that…

nuclear warheads at the asteroid. Ironically, These weapons of mass destruction are their only hope for their survival. Parker is Dr. Shepherd’s good friend and guard. He is strong, serious, professional, calm and quick-witted. Parker was always loyal to his cause of guarding Dr. Sheppard you can see this when Dr. Sheppard…

People have been fascinated with the stars ever since the beginning of time. Our first manned mission to the moon was Apollo 11. It was a highlighted moment in history when the impossible was accomplished. Now our mission is to find a planet that supports life. NASA thinks Mars can do this. This will not happen for decades unless NASA gets more funding. While space exploration creates pollution, more funding from the government would greatly improve NASA's progression in space exploration…
