Helium

generation to follow thirty-forty years later (ITER). In a fusion reaction, energy is released when two light atomic nuclei are fused together to form one heavier atom. This process powers the Sun and stars with the formation of hydrogen to form helium.…

bout 80 years ago a very tragic disaster happened. The Hindenburg disaster. A lot of people lost their friends, family, and local people in their city. This was a big event happening on May 6, 1937. The Length of the Hindenburg was about 245m/803.8 feet. The diameter was 41.2m/135.1 feet. The gas capacity was 200,00 cubic meters/ 7,062,000 cubic feet. It traveled at about 135 km/h and 84 mph. It’s made out of gelatin on top of a sheet of cotton. This disaster was famous because it was the…

There are many legends/stories surrounding the discovery of Saturn. According to mythology, the Assyrians were the first people to record sightings of Saturn. They spotted Saturn as a bright light and named it the Star of Ninib, in honor of the Assyrian sun god of springtime. Later the Greeks and Romans had their own ideas of this strange wandering planet. The Greeks named it Cronus, ruler of the Titans. The Romans later changed the planet’s name to Saturn. Both cultures identified Saturn as the…

features can be seen: Saturn’s rings. Although the other gas giants in the solar system, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, also have rings, those of Saturn are without a doubt the most extraordinary. Saturn is a gas giant made up of mostly hydrogen and helium gas, with traces of ammonia and methane. Saturn is big enough to hold more than 760 Earths, and is more massive than any other planet except Jupiter; roughly Saturn is 95 times Earth’s mass. However, Saturn has the lowest density of all the…

Only about 0.85% is made up of another five elements called potassium, sulfur,sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. These elements are necessary to life. 3. Which element has the lowest melting point? The chemical element with the lowest melting point is Helium and it melts at -272°C. 4. Which element has the 8th lowest melting point? Krypton is an element with the 8th lowest melting point. Krypton will melt at a temperature of -157°C. 5. Which element has the highest melting point? The element…

friend group, the “mother hen” that is always looking out for her chicks, prepped with bandaids, hand sanitizer, and an extra pencil for loaning. Link Crew took that characteristic I have always had and bolted, floating high into the sky like the helium balloon whose ribbon easily slipped through a tiny toddler’s fist. Through Link Crew training, I learned that you don’t have to be extroverted to be a great leader. Sometimes the best leaders are those who speak less and listen more, the ones…

Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to study all four of the solar system's giant planets up close. It is now exploring the solar wind and the sun's magnetic field dominate space but on September 2007 it crossed the termination shock it's where the speed of the solar wind drops below the speed of sound at 84 au twice the distance to Pluto. The purpose was to study huge planets, but now its to study solar wind. Voyager 2 was designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to explore the…

Have you ever thought about making a contraption that protects eggs when dropped from ten feet? This machine can consist of popsicles, a maximum of ten balloons, a raw and hard boiled egg, as well as dixie cups, a small plastic bag, and glue. As a machine can protect an egg breaking on the ground, so can machines protect rovers when landed on a planet. Through viewing this, you can find out what type of machine my partner and I will use for our very own egg drop, and where you would see it…

A first generation star would be made of mostly lighter materials rather than planets formed later. Since the Universe was originally made up of light elements (Hydrogen and Helium), the planets that would've been formed then would probably be mostly gas giants or planets that lack heavier elements or metals. The planets that are in the process of forming today are most likely going to be made of more heavy elements, since the dust in the nebulae have had time to condense and form heavier atoms…

In our solar system, gas giants are much bigger than 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.…
