Astronomy

Ancient African people made many beneficial contributions to the society. Some of their greatest accomplishments occurred in astronomy, math, medicine, navigation, architecture, engineering, tools, and metallurgy. A lot of treatments in medicine used today were employed from several ancient people from Africa. One of these treatments is when doctors use salicylic acid for pain. Inventions used now that come from their metallurgy are steam engines, metal chisels, saws, copper/iron tools, weapons,…

There is Another Jupiter and We Have a Photo of It! In a solar system far away, there is a planet which is quite similar to Jupiter and some believe that they are something like siblings. Scientists have taken a photograph of a big planet which is supposed to reveal clues about Jupiter-y planets and their creation and planetary siblings. At a distance of 96 light years from Earth, the planet which is known as 51 Eribani b, was photographed by the Gemini Planet Imager, which, according to the…

and is the lab demonstration coordinator. He not only looks similar, but he has a passion for teaching about him and strives to be like him because of his intelligence. Education is very important to Bill Berner. He loves his job in physics and astronomy. Bill Berner is very intelligent just like Benjamin Franklin. “Benjamin Franklin’s legacy lives…

and write in order to mask his elementary education. As a result, he was able to think for himself when it came to issues about racism. Similarly, Walt Whitman’s, “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” is a poem about a person who was curious about Astronomy. This poem also highlights the importance of self-learning because after unsuccessfully getting important information, the narrator went out and to learn and experience for himself. Both articles help to prove why passion is the foundation of…

Architecture was considered one of the lesser sciences by the ancient Romans, though many would argue it to be the most useful. Architecture in the ancient world was the summation of many schools of thought used to directly benefit the people. Ancient architects were much closer to a combination of civil and mechanical engineers, modern architects, carpenters, and many other odd jobs making them master builders in many fields. Architects were vital to the design and implication of technologies…

The Enlightenment opened a path for mathematics astronomy and physics. For example, Copernicus’s heliocentric theory, Newton’s laws, and the law of gravitation are all important improvements in the Enlightenment. Science and technology was instrumental in making European states more secular and allowing…

Writing is something that should not come too easy to people. It requires a lot of thought process to get the right wording and phrasing. It also requires the writer to use their own voice in each piece of writing. No one likes a story that does not have a voice and seems like the writer does not care. Reading those kinds of stories or papers can end up boring the reader, maybe even to the point where they stop reading. One of my main difficulties in writing is getting the correct wording and…

The human race begins roughly around 2.4 million years ago, and is disbursed throughout Africa, Asia, and Europe. It is from the Homo ergaster, who remained in Africa, however, that evolved into Homo sapiens. Moreover, natural selection is the outcome of species who survived by adapting to global climate changes during migration process, thereby producing offspring and strengthening their kind in the evolutionary process. It was fifteen thousand years ago, an immense migration of people made…

Astronomy is one of my favorite areas of science. I love learning about it and always find it so interesting study. I chose to research the topic of “Space Exploration: Apollo missions” for this project. I think that it is a significant area of science to explore because there is so much that we do not know. There are probably so many things that we have never imagined that we can learn by studying space further and exploring all of the Lord’s beautiful creations. Through the urging of…

The Hellenistic era was the time that the Greek civilization really reached its highest point. Alexandria, the capital of Egypt was the main area where the culture spread. Alexander the Great ruled over most of the land and he spread the Greek thought and culture just as his tutor, Aristotle, taught him. Many different people such as Egyptians, Greeks, Jews, and Indians occupied the area of Alexandria but that didn’t change the Greek civilization from spreading. “While the Hellenistic world…
