four new “stars” orbiting Jupiter and the phases of Venus. In 1609 he built his first telescope improving the Dutch telescope, and made other observations about the moon’s surface other stars in the Milky Way. The four new moons were called Callisto, Europa, Ganymede, and Io. When he showed his findings to the Grand Duke, Cosimo II de Medici, they were named “Galilean stars” in honoring of him. Galileo invented the first pendulum. He started researching it while watching lamps swing as a…

excitement as our car pulled up to the huge amusement park I was about to enter. I could see several roller coasters rushing through the air, their tracks gleaming in the sunlight and looking huge against the blue sky. I was elated to be going to Europa Park for the first time with my friends in the band I was a part of. When we finally entered the park I was very excited to be in a group with one of my friends, Naomi, as we both had never been. As sixth graders we could not fathom how someone…

Jupiter and Mercury are both named after Roman gods. Jupiter is named after the king of the gods and Mercury is named after the messenger god. Jupiter is named after the king of the gods because it is the biggest planet. Mercury is named after the messenger god because it’s orbital period is so fast. Mercury and Jupiter’s names are for a reason. Mercury and Jupiter both fit very cohesively into solar system. For example, both planets have their own spot in the order from the sun. Mercury is…

Origins The Voyager program began in the 1965 with Gary Flandro’s discovery of a rare planetary alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that would occur in 1977. This alignment occurs only once every 175 years. The Grand Tour as the program was called had launch windows between 1976 and 1980. The original idea of the Grand Tour was to send four probes to ultimately visit every planet in our outer solar system. In 1971 funding for the Grand Tour program was canceled in the 1973 NASA…

Standard Oil Company was established in 1870 by John D. Rockefeller in Ohio (Exxon). Not too long after, in 1879 Standard bought three-quarters of Vacuum Oil company, which later became Mobil (Exxon).

However, following a Supreme Court decision the company was split into 34 unrelated businesses in 1911…

solar system? The answer to that question is in the moons of Jupiter. More specifically the moon europa. There is no absolute proof because scientists have not had the opportunity to land anything on the icy offspring of Jupiter. If there were life on the moon, it would be alot different than life than we see on earth, but not too different to life by hot thermal vents in our oceans. Europa has an outer layer of ice, but it is thought that strong…
