Dwarf planet

Neptune is one of the four large planets in our Solar System known as Gas Giants. It is the eighth planet in order from the Sun, and was seen through a telescope for the first time on the 23rd of September 1846. Keeping to the traditional naming system used for all the previous planets, Neptune was given its name based on the Roman god of the sea, in reference to Greek and Roman mythology. General Information: Neptune has a vivid blue colouration to its layer of cloud cover. Higher…

discover what is in the universe. People sent probe outside of the Earth to study what is in the outside of the Earth and beyond the solar system where human being are living. Nine planets formed a solar system. Pluto is the farthest planet on solar system. At the end of 19th century astronomers were observing planets with telescope on a ground “Ground-based telescopes…

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…

These include red dwarfs and yellow dwarfs. Red dwarfs are the most common star in the Milky Way Galaxy that is small and cool. Yellow dwarfs are also known as G-Type main sequence stars; they are also small. Giants and supergiants are old, large stars. Red giants are usually orange and are about six hundred light years away from…

Planet Midnight What happens when the Earth becomes uninhabitable?Where we anywhere to live?The planet Midnight is very similar to Earth. Our planet Midnight is habitable because of the sun planet system and seasons, water availability, and our animals ,adaptations and evolution.The atmosphere on Midnight traps heat and blocks the dangerous rays from its solar system star, Hansen that is 92.96 mi away from Midnight. Hansen is identical to The Sun. Our Star is a yellow dwarf that produces…

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun in our solar system right in front of Venus. Mercury was named after a Roman god but is also called Hermes in Greek mythology who is the messenger of the gods. This relates to Mercury because it orbits the sun faster than all the other planets. Mercury is an extremely interesting planet in our solar system. Ancient people who lived in Mesopotamia(current day Iraq) called the Sumerians, first saw the planet Mercury in 3rd millennium B.C. Many old…

Scientists have discovered ancient grains. No, not the quinoa and spelt you'll find in Whole Foods, but ancient grains with explosive origins from Space. By extracting dust grains from meteorites, scientists were able to find out their history and how they came to Earth. STARS SPEWED OUT PRESOLAR GRAINS ALL OVER EARTH As one may assume, presolar grains are older than the sun. They were thrown up by the stars in the universe hundreds of millions of years ago. Way before Earth had a solar system…

into a white dwarf or a neutron star. Stars can fail and become a brown dwarf. Stars form when the density of the concentration of molecular clouds collapses and reaches a certain point. These regions are usually extremely cold and contain carbon and hydrogen. However, not all materials from the clouds form stars. Some of the material can form planets, asteroids, comets, or remain as dust. There are different kinds of stars in space, including neutron stars, white dwarfs, and brown dwarfs.…

Each planet went through eight months without sunlight. Over 99.99% of all native life perished. The Hargons then introduced the flora they needed to adjust the atmosphere to fit their needs. The planets have been renamed Hargon801, Hargon802 and Hargon803.” “That’s a lot of military hardware. Do the Hargons understand diplomacy?” “To a certain extent…

Tyson traveled around the country in order to ask people and research whether Pluto should be classified as a planet or not; this became problematic and controversial as people have different beliefs. In the film, a planet was defined as a “celestial body massive enough to clear its orbit” (“The Pluto Files”). According to the definition of a planet, Pluto cannot be classified as a planet because it interferes in Neptune’s orbit; again, this can be controversial among different people. I…
