Dwarf planet

Being the most undiscovered place, besides the ocean, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, the entire universe has been around and will be around for as long as we know it. Everyday, the place we know as “space” continues to astonish astronomers with new findings and new developments as it keeps expanding day by day. After examining several career opportunities, in order to obtain a career in astronomy, one must consider the financial obligations of college, professional growth and finances and…

All Summer in a Day and Eleven both are quite different, from a group of kids living on Mars to just one ordinary girl turning eleven. All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury which is science fiction, is about a girl, Margot who a has been living on Mars for five years. All of the children there stay away from her because they are both jealous of Margot and feel a different sensation around her. Eleven by Sandra Cisneros, which is realistic fiction is about a girl, Rachel who is turning eleven and…

Who knew, that our stars string together to form the most unique, odd, and compelling shapes and figures. You, probably have heard of the Big dipper, Little Dipper, Ursa Minor, Ursa Major, and Orion. These are the most well known and popular constellations and asterisms. An asterism is a group of stars that is not a constellation, but is well known by many astronomers. The history of how constellations came to be is amazing. Things including people, the discovery, why they were used, and how…

colossal. Billions of galaxies among galaxies, each of them possibly containing planets and worlds of their own; which begs the question: are we the only living creatures existing in this universe? Up until this moment, scientists have not found any evidence of living things in this universe except here on Earth, but there are many convincing arguments that propose we are not alone. Knowing that there are more planets in the universe than the sum of all sounds and words ever said by every human…

• page 630 Our moon is the only natural satellite and it accompanies earth in anuual journey around the sun. The earths moon is unusually large compared to its partner planet. Scientists thought that when earth was forming a piece was sliced off. The Diameter of the moon is 3475 and the earths diameter is 12756, Which is about one fourth of the earths diameter. Most information of the moon come from the Apollo moon missions. Between 1969 and 1972 there have been six spacecraft landings.…

An interesting note regarding points is that theorem four of “The Almagest,” Ptolemy claims “That the Earth Has the Ratio of a Point to the Heavens” (38). According to Euclid’s definition of a geometric point, this claim is false because the planet earth has substance (however insignificant in relation to the heavens), therefore earth cannot be a point in the geometric sense. 4. Ecliptic The ecliptic is the path the sun appears to take through the heavens as a result of earth’s…

only planet with life; however, Earth is the only planet with proven life. The cultural view of Aliens coming to earth is a common theme portrayed in entertainment. Looking at aliens with a Christian world view it would be easy to argue that its not mentioned in the Bible that means aliens life not possible. However Christians several hundred years ago admittedly believed that the world was flat. Christians can acknowledge that the creator of the cosmos could have created life on other planets.…

Long ago, before Earth was created, there was a planet called Uxodreron. On this planet lived a species of aliens who called themselves the Uxoranians. The Uxoranians were all very different from each other. Some had alabaster skin that was so clear and beautiful, and their eyes colored gorgeous blues and greens. Some had long golden hair, and others short dark hair. There were others whose skin was dark as a raven 's wings, and eyes a golden brown, with dark locks on their head. Some young and…

Planets and moons within the solar system are different in terms of composition, geologic activity, interior structure, magnetic field, and atmospheres. We can deduce each of these properties through routine astronomical observations, spectroscopic/remote observations, laws of physics, solar system modeling as well as direct sampling. Given that many economists and government officials object to using our resources to visit other objects physically, by studying our solar system we will continue…

of 2002, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that their first mission to the planet Venus, titled Venus Express, would launch in 2005 (Abbott and Schiermeier, 2002; Hoofs et al., 2009). The Russian Soyuz-Fregat launcher in Baikonur Kazakhstan on November 9th 2005, launched Venus Express into space (Fabrega et al. 2007). After traveling a distance of 440 million km, Venus Express reached the orbit of the planet on April 11th 2006 (Fabrega et al. 2007). The polar elliptical orbit around…
