Colonization of Mars

How does the moon affect Earth’s tides? The is not the only thing that affects the tides the sun also affects the tides. To understand how it works you need some basic information. So the first thing you should know is that as the Earth spins the water around the Earth stays at a steady level. This is because Earth’s gravity pulls inward and the centrifugal force pushing outward that is how the water stays in place but the Moon’s gravity is strong enough to disrupt the steady ocean levels by…

The Thronateeska was OK. The least favorable thing we did was watch a slide show about space. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the ceiling wasn’t the screen. The Planetarium is dome shaped, so we had to lean back in our seats and look up at the ceiling. It wasn’t very fun, but I did learn that Venus is the hottest planet. The scavenger hunt was alright. It wasn’t my most favorite activity, but it wasn’t my least favorite either. I learned that we live in the Cenozoic era. Overall, the…

Paragraph 2: What are sun and moon dogs? A moon dog is a relatively rare bright circular spot on a lunar halo caused by the refraction of moonlight. A sundog is also known as mock suns or “parhelia”, are a pair of brightly colored spots, one on either side of the sun. Sun dogs form as sunlight is refracted by hexagonal- plate like ice crystals with diameters larger than 30 micrometer and their flat faces horizontally oriented. By day, with the sun, one of these phenomena (fa-nom-a-nin) is called…

Neil deGrasse Tyson is an active Astrophysicist coming out of New York City where he Graduated from Bronx High School Of Science and went on to Achieve his PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia University and his BA at Harvard. Tyson later was chosen by George W. Bush twice, once in 2001 to join a twelve-member commission where he studied the Future of the US Aerospace industry and second, in 2002 to join a nine-member commission that focused on the implementation of the United States Space…

the atmosphere in Mars. I will need to bring really hot clothes and a ton of blankets. Since the gravity is different maybe heavy clothes. If possible a rover to drive around with. Don’t forget the water, there is water on Mars, but I don’t know if it is healthy enough to drink. Here are some facts about Mars. It has two moons.The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, some water vapor. They average day in Mars is 24 hours, and 37 minutes long. There are 687 Earth days in one Mars year. The tilt…

The Inner Jovian Moons For the moon project I recieved the Inner Jovian moons. The Inner Jovian Moons are four different moons of Jupiter. The names of these moons are Adrastea, Metis, Amalthea, and Thebe. Each of these moons get their names from Greek Mythology. They Were all discovered by different people. As it goes for research I found that all of these moons have very little to be known about them. They do not know the rotational period of any of these moons. A lot of the pictures at are…

It must have been formed closer to the sun and then thrown out by a passing planet. Sedna is the second reddest Body in the solar system, after mars. With a surface temperature of -400F It is extremely cold. The hubble space telescope indicated that sedna had no moon. Initial observations showed that sedna's brightness varied every 20 days. If this is due to sedna's rotation, it would be…

Ever since the beginning of our species, humans have been constantly moving from one land to another. The article, “Could Humans Actually Live on Mars,” raises the question about if we should be exploring other planets, specifically Mars. I personally believe that humans should be exploring other planets for a multitude of reasons such as we need to have some place to go after life on Earth becomes impossible and that health effects caused by space (i.e. skin cancer from solar flares or…

Mars= Awesome Four lucky people could be going to Mars as soon as 2022 thanks to a company called Mars One four astro-wanna be’s will mars be going to Mars. it could go wrong, but could go perfect . going to mars would be a great opportunity ,it would be an adventure ,no matter what people say it is possible and a great chance to be famous. If you're thinking that's not adventure that's death, then just imagine seeing the clear crimson sky there is nothing like that on earth. even…

law enforcement team. With SpaceX, Elon Musk plans on landing a Dragon capsule on Mars by 2018. He also is strongly working on civilian travel to space for transport and recreational reasons. With the accomplishment of SpaceX landing the 1st stage rocket on a barge for reuse have opened up more possibilities by not only technology and ability, but also in cost savings. NASA’s drive is to land a rover on Mars…
