Colonization of Mars

Discovered in 1930, by the American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto was thought to be the farthest, newest and smallest known planet in our solar system. Pluto, for 75 years would be thought of as the ninth planet in our solar system. It wasn’t until the discovery of Eris in 2005 that astronomers began to question what defines a planet. After the discovery of Eris and other celestial objects such as MakeMake, Pluto along these new discoveries have been defined as dwarf planets. They are…

It is thought that the South surface is the oldest. There are many easily recognizable features on Mars, including the Tharsis Bulge, Hellas Basin, Borealis Basin, Valles Marineris. For long, it was thought there was water on Mars because we could see what looked like canals. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are irregular (not spherical) Jupiter 5th planet from the Sun Named after the Roman God of Thunder Jupiter is the biggest…

Thesis: Pluto is a dwarf planet, dwarf planets are just like regular planets but much smaller, dwarf planets do not clear the path around the sun. The fascinating dwarf planet Pluto is much more petite than the other planets in our Solar System, which makes it a dwarf planet but that is not the only reason why. In the solar system the dwarf planet does not complete the neighborhood around Pluto’s orbit which means it doesn’t clear the path around the sun, this is another reason why Pluto is a…

The moon phases are caused by the sun illuminating or lighting up one side of the moon. The sun is always illuminating one-half of the moon, depending on what place you are on Earth. That also affects what moon phase you see in The Lunar Cycle. The Lunar Cycle start with the New moon and then goes along to Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, then the Full moon. The cycle still continues on for Waning Gibbous Waning Crescent till it comes back to a New moon. This cycle continues about every 29 days…

similar core that is made out of mostly iron. The Jovian planets are composed of mostly hydrogen and helium. They also all have some type of water, usually as water vapor. When it comes to magnetic fields, all of the planets have one except for Venus and Mars. They do have some type of magnetic force, but they are not the same as they are for the other planets. Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field due to its size and the fact that it rotates very quickly. When it comes to atmosphere, many…

According to science a planet is a celestial body that is in the orbit of the sun, has a certain mass and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. A dwarf planet is also a celestial body that orbits the sun, has a certain mass, but has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and is not a satellite. This is what we use to classify planets but we don’t have an actual definition for the word planet. Pluto has been a part of our solar system for a long time now, but the question is Pluto…
