He was enrolled at the King's School in Grantham, where he was introduced with chemistry. However, his…

questions were asked? At first Herschel thought his observation was a comet. He made notes about his findings and continued his survey, but came back a few days later to check on the new object. He wanted to compare it’s position with the first sighting. Noting a difference he once again concluded it to be a comet. Herschels commentary and observations of the object raised many questions about his claim that it was a comet. Why did it not have a tail? Why was it so round? Why was it…

Some myths may be more popular than others, but there is still significant with the existence of other theories in the world. One of the most well-known theories is the Biblical flood story.

After sharing his find with other astronomers, they questioned whether it was a comet at all. One astronomer named Nevil Maskelyne “suggested that [it] might be a planet” but it took several months of observations to confirm this truth. This was a great find of his day because it was…

Solar System Explanation The parts of the solar system are the Sun, Planets, the Kuiper Belt(meteors), the Main Belt(asteroids), comets, dwarf planets, and moons. The sun is located in the center of the universe and all of the other objects orbit around it. The sun only rotates about every 25-36 Earth days. The sun is the closest star and a heat source for almost all the planets. All of the planets orbit around the sun but all at different paces. For example, It takes Earth 365 days to orbit…

The Carrington Event and Emergency Preparedness The Carrington Event of 1859 was a giant solar storm that occurred by the sun that affected earth. How solar flares and solar storms occur is first they start off by the lines of the magnetic fields that sometimes overlap each other. As a result of this overlap, they can sometimes get tangled, which will cause the sun’s atmosphere to explode due to the magnetic fields overlapping and getting tangled with each other. The sun's spots on the sun…
