Celestial pole

The Poles of Mars are covered in the necessary gasses, in solid form, to create a runaway greenhouse effect that will warm the climate dramatically and build up enough pressure to support human life. Both ice caps have a top layer of solid CO2 (dry ice) that go through phase shifts during the changing seasons which already contribute to the greenhouse effect (“Martian Polar Ice Caps”). Both the southern and northern poles consist of about 1.6 million cubic km of…

Astronomy, from Greek for the ‘law of the stars’ is arguably the first human science. Since the dawn of time, man has looked up to the sky in wonder of the beautiful celestial bodies upon them. With human sciences and technology developing at an exponential rate, it is inevitable that our dream of one day living on one of these alluring celestial bodies would come to fruition. The Earth’s moon(Luna) has always been an ideal candidate for colonization, its proximity key for a first base for…

“Current Science Event: Earth’s Tidal Effect on the Moon” While the moon’s gravitational affects are famous for their ability to stimulate neap and spring tides, affect earth’s gravitational, pole, and is renowned component of Earth’s formation, what effects do Earth’s gravity have on the moon? Scientists have long known that the moon would experience considerably higher tidal effects, but have never found obliquity distortions that would result of Earth’s gravity. From data collected by LRO…

Draco is a constellation that is seen in the Northern Skies. He was first documented by a Greek astronomer by the name of Ptolemy in the second century. In Latin Draco means Dragon and the constellation is a presentation of the dragon Ladon that is the guardian of a garden with the help of the Hesperides in Greek Mythology (http://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/draco-constellation/). The constellation is also said to flip as the year goes on. During the summer seasons it will…

It is never too late to take an adventure and chase your dreams. One talented mid-aged explorer had many contributions to the Renaissance period. Some of them being his map making and navigational skills. Many know his name, but few truly know who he was. He was a “navigator and explorer who played a prominent role in exploring the new world” (Bio. Web.). So little was written on this man, but so much can be found on who inspired him to begin exploring, Christopher Columbus. Amerigo Vespucci is…

stereotypes. Mary Shelley, too, wrote about female angels and monsters. In Frankenstein we find these stereotypes in Elizabeth and Justine. Elizabeth is “Of a distinct species, a being heavven-sent, and bearing a celestial stamp in all her features” (Shelley, 20) She represents the celestial angel. Justine on the other hand says “I almost began to think that I was the monster he said I was”, and categorizes herself as the monster or madwoman stereotype. (Shelley, 22) It can be argued that due to…

2,300 years ago, the pre-Incans lived 10 miles northwest from the Peruvian coast. There they built Chankillo, a large fortified temple up against the western foothills of the Cordillera Negras (Lienhard). On the outskirts of this fortified temple about one kilometer east, there are 13 square towers aligned in a row on top of a ridge, each standing about 20 feet tall. On either side of the ridge are two towers on flat planes; an east and west observation tower. The pre-Incans are believed to…

On the 20th of July 1969, millions of people across the world watched eagerly as the Apollo 11 landed successfully on the moon and Neil Armstrong officially became the first man ever to step onto the celestial body. It was a moment of great victory for the U.S. It was a moment which would be remembered in scientific history for a long time: but is it remembered for the right reasons? There are many people that believe that the landing of 1969 was a hoax. They believe that it was filmed in a…

and what we came from is not considered in our strive to find our origin. The atmosphere that protects us from the UV rays the giant gas ball that heats our solar system emits, is being destroyed by the toxic emissions produced by us. Above the north pole, the carbon dioxide and other harmful gasses that are emitted are ripping a hole in the atmosphere we desperately need to survive. If our plant's atmosphere was to suddenly just disappear, the effects would be catastrophic. Our home would erupt…
