Comet

SCORPIUS Scorpius, also known as Scorpio. Its name is Latin for Scorpion. It lies between Libra to the west and Sagittarius to the east. Scorpius is a large constellation in the southern hemisphere near the centre of the Milky Way. In Greek mythology, Scorpion was sent by Artemis, the goddess of hunting and her mother, Leto, to protect all the creatures since Orion said that he would kill all the creatures on the earth. After a battle, Scorpion killed Orion. Later, Zeus sent Scorpion into…

Face it, the night before the world was to end, we all sat up and wondered what was to happen to the human race or to the planet that we depended on. Everyone had a gut wrenching feeling that the next morning upon awakening something would be different; yet, we awoke only to find everything the way we had left it. For years I have wondered what will happen the day the world ceases to exist. So, I have set out to gather information on exactly that topic: What will happen the day the world ends? I…

observing the sky one night in 1781, Herschel saw something moving ever so slowly in the sky. At first they thought it was a comet, for several more nights the two watched the sky for the same object. After a time, they rented a telescope, Herschel would observe through it and Caroline would record the images he saw. Eventually Herschel surmised that the moving object was not a comet, but a planet. Herschel’s discovery was the first to be made in what was called…

in our solar system. Another aspect of the site is that students can learn about the different moons of the planets. This site also contains interesting information about Saturn’s rings. Finally, the students will be able to learn about asteroids, comets, and meteorites. There is an interactive map, which the children could use to select the planet that they would like information on. The map shows the planets relationship to the sun, how the planets orbit the sun, how…

As an article on the Comet states, kids feel pressured to participate in many extracurricular clubs, to be attractive to colleges. Colleges look for clubs students were in to show they were active in the community and that they worked well with others, but many kids don’t have the time to be able to join any clubs. Some even have to quit groups they like, because they're too busy now. This is how the Comet defines study hall, “....study hall is defined as “the period…

England. This was an all girls’ school but a few of her brothers attended a boys’ boarding school in England too. Amy was always causing trouble in the school. One time, in 1882, there was to be a comet in the sky that night. Amy, at the age of fourteen, and the other girls in her dormitory wanted to watch to comet but it was past their curfew. Amy devised a whole plan to keep them all…

Thanks to several quirks in the physics of the universe, these alien physicists, biologists, and chemists spent generations researching these bizarre comets and finding a way to save their home planet. The Clockwork Rocket, the first book in the trilogy, ended with the development of new physics that pushed them closer to their goal Generations later, in the next book, the scientists discovered a way…

1. Extinction of Dinosaurs. Image source: MasPix/devianart, “https://www.universetoday.com/36697/the-asteroid-that-killed-the-dinosaurs/” IV. CONCLUSION As per the scientific research, the reason could be due to the asteroid (or comet) impact or may be due to the volcanic eruptions, some also believe the real reason was a slow change in the climate or in the food chain. The reason for the mass disappearance of dinosaurs is still a scientific mystery. REFERENCES [1] Chung-Tat Cheung…

as to why the climate changed, why the sediment not only has iridium but also shock quartz, other physical evidence such as the found crater, and evidence with the line up of the time frames between the mass extinctions and when the Oort Clouds of Comets happen. Out of all the hypothesis the Alverez Hypothesis has the most evidence to back it up…

navigation and just generally drooled over the sky for thousands of years. There is a void surrounding us that is so large we call it “space”. But it’s not an empty, cavernous expanse, it’s filled with a multitude of stuff: from stars to planets, comets to black holes, there’s even a Super Sized Space Puddle.[1] Yet, some people aren’t interested in what is out there, they’re quite content to keep their mind grounded on earth. And I don’t get that at all. Why wouldn’t you want to know about…
