Colonization of Mars

The article I read was titled, "Hubble observes pitch black planet". In the article the scientists discovered that the Exoplanet called WASP-12b reflects almost no light, making it seem almost entirely pitch black. Astronomers from McGill University, Canada, and the University of Exeter, UK, have measured how much light WASP-12b reflects- its albedo- using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. WASP-12b's albedo measured in at 0.064. This amount of…

How old is our universe really? For years there has been a race to discover the Solar System’s true age. For thousands of years, people have thought the Solar System and everything inside it to be created only several thousand years ago. Whereas many people now days have discovered that there is a considerable amount of evidence to suspect the Solar System is actually billions of years old. Fairly recent discovers have brought to light that there is also counter evidence to disprove the billion…

Are there other human civilizations somewhere else in the universe? New discoveries have revealed to astronomers that humans may not have only evolved on Earth. Astronomers say that the chance that a human civilization evolved only on Earth and nowhere else in the universe is less than about one in a billion trillion (Shekhtman). The universe is so vast that it is possible there are other Earth-like planets capable of supporting life. The chances that life only evolved on Earth is really low. In…

The scientific significance of New Horizons was great. Up to this point, we had uncovered several mysteries about the planets in the solar system. However, the dwarf planets and smaller objects in our solar system’s outer reaches had great potential for scientific discovery as well. Pluto was chief among these. Specifically, the mission of New Horizons was to explore the Pluto – Charon system, as well as some of their Kuiper Belt cousins (New Frontiers Program, 2015). More specifically, the…

collection of methods has been produced in order to merge themes with an author’s work. Two texts that exemplify this are the texts “Mission to Mars” and “NJ Physics Professor Has the ‘Right Stuff,’” penned by Sheela Raman and Valerie Sands, respectively. “Mission to Mars,” is a narrative about two married astronauts, Roy and Ciara Thomas, who travel to Mars. They receive great support from Earth, but…

using the Theremin as the focal point in each song, it brings out the far-out other worldly sound present in Space Age Pop. Even the song names were inspired by the Space Age. A few songs present in the album were 20th Century Venus, The Red Sea of Mars, and Out of this World. Just as the music invoke the prosperous future ahead amongst the listeners, the titles did as…

Mars, a red desolate planet,(appositive) is the setting of “ The Martian”. As the setting moves on it starts with the dark atmosphere along with suspenseful music as the dust storm approaches. Our strong-willed (hyphenated word) protagonist, Mark Watney, is humorous and shows high intelligence throughout the movie. The catalyst of the events of the movie is a dangerous dust storm that threatens the lives of the crew members on Mars. During the dust storm the lighting becomes very dark and sets…

INTRODUCTION: The topic chosen for this assignment is the Original Creation of the Earth (nebular hypothesis vs. six-day creation). The origin of the earth, the universe, ultimately “creation” itself has long been a highly debated topic. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the original creation of the earth from an old-earth secularist view as well as the view from a young-earth creationist’s perspective. Ultimately, the intent is to highlight these opposing views in an attempt to…

Kepler is a spacecraft telescope observatory launched by NASA on March 7th, 2009 with the primary purpose of discovering Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. The observatory named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, is designed to survey our section of the Milky Way in order to discover hundreds of Earth-sized extrasolar planets with livable conditions, to estimate how many stars are found within our galaxy, and create a better understanding of how planetary system’s light years away compare…
