We may not be sending people into space but we can still explore space through the telescopes on and around our planet surveying star upon star looking for answers to the questions that we as a races want answered. Are we alone “Two possibilities exist, either we are alone in this universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying” Arthur c. Clarke. As we are restrain by are life spans we use robots and unmanned space craft one of the more famous space telescopes we have is Kepler have systems…

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 dwarf planet. The…

Introduction While Earth and Mars share similarities, these two planets possess distinct differences. The objective of this article will be to elaborate upon those planetary differentials that exist between such specific domains. Mars does maintain aspects that strike comparisons to those of Earth, though poses equal distinction in its galactic contrasts. This article shall reveal the ideal atmospheric condition of Earth as well as towards its sustaining a total environment for complete cycles…

To understand the Geology of Mars, or any other planet, it is necessary to have knowledge of formation of the Universe that lead to the assimilation of galaxies and all contained within them. This is essay will look at the beginning of the universe and the chemical reactions which led to the formation of stars, planets, moons, asteroid belts, comets and meteorites. Then, focusing on Mars, discuss the planets geological features and the instruments used to study them, from its inner core to upper…

Aristarchus of Samos was not only an astronomer but also a mathematician. He lived between 310–230 B.C. and belonged to the Pythagorean School of Thought (Heath). His mathematical knowledge helped him to discover great advances in the world of astronomy. His writing The Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon is his only surviving text (Aristarchus ‘16). Aristarchus’ description of the solar system was similar to our modern one and this was about 1500 years before Copernicus made his geocentric…

These are Terrestrial planets. This brings us to the Core Accretion Model. According to our textbook “The Core Accretion Model is the belief that each Jovian planet formed by accretion of gas on a rocky core”. Rodger A. Freedman, Robert M. Geller, and William J. Kaufmann III. Universe tenth edition. Terrestrial planets are closer to the sun and are also inside of the asteroid belt. The surface of terrestrial planets are very rocky and contain metal. It is believed that our planets form from…

Drake’s equation, while slightly more optimistic, still reduces the probability of communicating with other intelligent life to near zero: multiply the number of stars by the fraction of those with solar systems, then again by the fraction of habitable planets, then again by the fraction of those that developed life, then again by the fraction of those that evolved to intelligent life, and then one last time by the fraction that may then be capable of interstellar travel or communication (Tyson,…

In Packing for Mars, Mary Roach communicates that the most interesting part of space travel is humanity and the complicated obstacles that come with it. Roach’s purpose is to argue that although they present difficult challenges, much can be learned about humanity through space travel. To support this argument, the author compares humanity to machinery and the opinions of scientists to her own, provides anecdotes concerning the humanity of astronauts, and describes the struggles and morality of…

media greatly accounts for widespread interest. Extraterrestrials have never been proven; nor have they been disproven, causing skeptics, believers, and media glamorization to persist. Extraterrestrials have been known to operate differently. The definition of a paranormal, the category…
