Extrasolar planet

Focus Point Two (Possibility of Aliens) Throughout the years there has been much debate on whether or not aliens exist. One of the main things associated with aliens are flying saucers. Some depict the saucers as zooming around the sky at tremendous speeds and performing maneuvers that would be impossible for earthly craft (Nardo 10). “ Before long, citizens in Roswell spotted something in the skies that they could not explain.” (McCaffrey 7). Although people could not explain what they saw,…

As a young girl, my neighborhood friend and I would stargaze consistently throughout the summer. We would lay on her trampoline, look at the stars, and have detailed conversations about space. While we were lying down in the palpable darkness, we would identify as many constellations as possible. Although, the main night that stands out to me, was when her father brought his telescope outside to give us a close viewing of Jupiter. That moment still affects me today since I have continued to…

In this paper, how the sun produces light and heat energy will be discussed. The sun is the most major source of energy and if the sun was not there then Earth and all of its environments would not be able to survive. The sun is mostly hydrogen and produces energy through nuclear reactions. The reactions are specifically nuclear fusions. This is because of hydrogen atoms becoming helium atoms. Heat, Light, and the Sun It always feels good to go outside when there is just the right amount of…

Superman’s laser vision), why was krypton chosen to star as a home planet of the all mighty Superman? This was first referenced in 1938 when Superman was first thought of to be this all powerful being as the story plot changes to where he is normal on Krypton, but because of the air, hence the weight, when Superman was sent to Earth, he gained powers because the gravity was in fact lighter than he is normally used to. Although, the planet is Krypton and holds the features of krypton, kryptonite…

lone, barren planet, stood at what seemed to be the center of the universe. God had created the spirit of Hellix, and the Solar Blade. This planet had a red-brown tint to its ground, covered in Ignis Redstone powder, the most flammable substance in the universe. The ground was completely rugged, with cracks all over the surface. The spirit of Hellix was spawned onto the surface of the giant planet, holding the Solar Blade. Hellix made his long embarkment to the center of the planet, where stood…

The Milky Way is a flat spiraling galaxy that consists of billions of stars. Our solar system is included within the Milky Way, and from our perspective the Milky Way looks like a band of light that wraps around our solar system. A key question that Dr. Troland asked was “where are we in the universe?”. Well we live on earth, which is part of our solar system, our solar system is part of the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is part of a cluster of galaxies called the Local Group. Astronomers use…

humans we have always try to understand how the universe really works. How does the moon form? How does water really flow? How did the earth form? To provide some explanation on how the stars and the planet worked Nicolaus Corpernicus who was born in 1473 was an “astronomer and mathematician” he attended the “University of Cracow.” This man was so unique in his time; this was the “16th and 17th century” when scientific revolution was in its infancy. In those times the groundwork for modern…

Zoe Starr Mr. Eric Smith Astronomy H 22 May 2018 Jupiter and its Galilean Moons Jupiter, the fifth planet from our sun, is the most massive planet in our solar system, twice as massive as all the other planets comined. It is a gas giant planet and therefore lacks a earth like surface. Due to the giant atmosphere of gas, Jupiter rotates faster than any other planet. Jupiter’s day is only about ten hours long. Jupiter takes twelve Earth years to make one revolution around the sun so, one…

Imagine a world perpetually attached to one season. Our Earth is unique among the other planets in our solar system. It is tilted on its axis and exactly the correct distance away from the sun to promote life and landscape year around. This is the cause of our four seasons. Seasons change weather, terrain, and animal lifestyle. The seasons work together to revive the soil and species we depend on. Different animals, insects, and plants are born and thrive within specific seasons. If there were…

materials, technology, and people to help them achieve that goal. More specifically, Vasquez argues that NASA has the technology to achieve the dream of landing on Mars. They mainly have to learn how to overcome the challenges of going to the red planet. She writes that, “‘We’ve had the technology since we went to the moon,’ Petranek says. … the journal Scientific Reports found that even after six months, Mars astronauts would experience brain inflammation and neuron damage.”(Pgs. 1&2) In this…
