Mars, a beautiful planet far away from Earth. People on Earth are planning to live on it, to explore new things and find ways to survive, but is it really worth it? Going to Mars is bongers and unsafe. It is dangerous and most unlikely that people will not live on Mars until few hundred years later. By then we might have already come to extinction. The colonist have made some progress but did they make enough for the years to come? I mean the colonist already found froze toxic water but they…

HR Diagrams The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, otherwise known as HR diagram, is a graph that shows many patterns and properties of stars based on plotting them by their temperature on the surface and their light they emit, or luminosity. Created in 1912, the HR diagram was made by two astronomers, Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Russell who found patterns with stars’ properties. The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram shows how every star goes through different evolutionary stages. These evolutionary stages…
When we first get there it is extremely cold it’s around -87 degrees. I also notice almost instantly is that there is two moons. Also I notice that the day is a little bit longer than on Earth. Also the sun looks pretty far away too. And the planet is overall smaller. It is also very broad and plain. I see brownish terrain and brown rocks. The landform is very rough, including sandy dunes, to giant boulders. One thing I will need to bring is a space suit because of the atmosphere in Mars. I will…
The excerpt Crash Course (Nancy Honovich) describes what asteroids are and everything about them to how often they occur and how close they have to be to be too close for comfort. At the beginning of the story, it tells about what asteroids are and their history. They even said that a comet called the Shoemaker-Levy 9 sped towards Jupiter at sixty kilometers a second. That is really fast! It also told about how sixty-five million years ago, it is thought that one measly asteroid could have…
The Inner Jovian Moons For the moon project I recieved the Inner Jovian moons. The Inner Jovian Moons are four different moons of Jupiter. The names of these moons are Adrastea, Metis, Amalthea, and Thebe. Each of these moons get their names from Greek Mythology. They Were all discovered by different people. As it goes for research I found that all of these moons have very little to be known about them. They do not know the rotational period of any of these moons. A lot of the pictures at are…
For years the Catholic Church has viewed the universe as a place of stars and heavenly perfection. Geocentricity has been acknowledged, as the universe revolves around the Earth. Our opinions of a place beyond our world has been influenced by the theories of ancient writers such as Ptolemy and Aristotle, and our views shan’t be altered! This Aristotelian view of the universe has been widely accepted by both scientists and theologians, though, Galileo Galilei’s observations in Siderius Nuncius,…
Sedna- Formally known as 90377 Sedna is a large minor planet. It is in the far reaches of the solar system. It was discovered 11/14/2003. It's Aphelion (the far extreme of it's orbit) is a jaw dropping 937AU, or 87,099,591,409 miles, from the sun. It is made up of Water, Methane, and Nitrogen ices. It's orbit is insanely long, the last time Sedna was in the same place in it's orbit as it is now, the New Stone Age was just beginning. It is a member of the inner oort cloud as well. It was…
since the beginning of our species, humans have been constantly moving from one land to another. The article, “Could Humans Actually Live on Mars,” raises the question about if we should be exploring other planets, specifically Mars. I personally believe that humans should be exploring other planets for a multitude of reasons such as we need to have some place to go after life on Earth becomes impossible and that health effects caused by space (i.e. skin cancer from solar flares or neurological…
short story. The story starts of very grey and drey. It's raining, the sun isn't out. Then you find out that the sun only comes out or not at all every seven years for two hours. The main character is sad because she was born on earth and moved to the planet she says she remembers the sun. A kid locks her in a closet and as the sun comes out the kids are playing outside. This shows that even win the sun comes up and the setting is a lot more happy that it still ends up being sad. The story…
