Stars are an appealing component of our universe. Because of our scientific advances, we know more about stars than ever before. They are born, they live, and then they die. How does this process work, though? The answer lies within thermodynamics. Thermodynamics has helped us understand how stars transfer energy and heat. Thermodynamics is a subject of physics that is concerned with heat and temperature. It is used to describe bodies of matter and their internal energy. Thermodynamics helps us…
mystery in the modern world. Sighting have been being reported since way back in the day! There are many documents and reports that have been reported by people. Believe it or not, there is something out where, whether or not it's from life on other planets, or some other phenomenon. A UFO is an unidentified object. Things like this have been seen in the sky, and have been being reported by millions of people for years (History). There are many records in…
civilizations within the Milky Way. R*=Rate of the formation of stars suitable for holding life. fp=Out of those stars, the number with planetary systems. ne=Number of planets in a solar system with a suitable environment. fI=Out of those suitable planes, which do life actually appear? fi=”The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges.” fc=The fraction of civilizations which hold radio-detectable technology. L=Length of time which civilizations…
“Calla, what’s life like on Earth? I’ve never been, but I’ve always wanted to visit and see what life was like on a planet that hadn’t known about life in other parts of the universe for so long,” Ida attempts, trying to make conversation to lighten the dreary mood that had settled on them all once again. “It’s boring, I guess. Nothing notable. And, it’s not like people didn’t know about life in other parts of the universe, it’s just that Earth has done some… fairly questionable things and most…
temperature of -210 degrees Celsius however it is warmer than expected for a planet's distance from the Sun since Neptune has an internal energy source like others Neptune is the fourth largest planet in terms of diameter making it the smallest and gas giants average distance from the center of the planet to the surface is 15299 Miles but like most spending bodies the rotation causes it to fold in the center or equator radius of the poles is 15125 Miles slightly smaller than the equator…
When conducting a scientific experiment, it is important to keep in mind certain key components such as random sampling, random assignment, control group and internal validity threats. However, much of the research and experiments that have been done about the possibility of aliens have not followed good experimental guidelines. For instance, a main concern with many experiments about aliens is the use of purposive sampling. The specific target individuals are those who believe in UFO’s or…
is the planets. Saturn is one of many in our solar system and is so unique in its own way for being the only plant to have rings around it. We all know of this planet due to its spectacular rings. Although this planet has them it poses many other interesting features. The Romans were the people who made Saturn's name come to be to what it is now. The Romans knew there was seven different bright objects that were in the sky. Those seven objects included the moon, the sun, and five planets in the…
Have these underground houses always been this beautiful? Margot thought to herself, as she observed the street lights outside with no people from her resting chair. She closes her eyes and imagines a place where she hears the ocean waves crash against rocks, she feels the cool breeze in her face and when she looks up she sees the sky aflame with the setting sun, shimmering magically. She feels the hot sand in between her toes. Somehow, this relaxes her. Margot still imagines and remembers the…
Air Writing Prompt C Vonderhaar, Max There is a lot of aspects of our solar system that we don’t know about. Aspects such as what comets do day to day and what our solar system is completely made up of. The Philae mission helped us out on some of those aspects and was important for scientific research because of how they learned more information about comets and how our solar system works. Learning more information about comets is one of the main aspects in this story. For example, Cameron…
terrestrial planets, and they have thick atmospheres full of hydrogen and helium. They both orbit the sun. Terrestrial planets are similar to Earth made up of mostly rock and have few moons. Gas giants are made up of gas and have a lot more moons. Some of the surface of mercury featured is craters, ridges, and terrains ranging from heavily cratered to nearly crater free. These features help us to understand the evolution of the planet. Mercury’s core has more iron than any other planet in the…
