The ultimate space book By Nathan Deline The ultimate space book The big bang 1. The big bang happened 13.8 million years ago 2. The big bang is the rapid expansion of matter from a state of extremely high density and temperature that according to current cosmological theories marked the origin of the universe. 3. This is the red shift the displacement of spectral lines toward longer wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum) in radiation from distant galaxies and celestial objects. This…

radiation to their workers, this marginal still necessitates a heavy consignment. “The three principal types of reactors under consideration are those cooled by a pumped liquid metal, like sodium or lithium, by… liquid metal heat pipes and by inert helium or helium-xenon gas. Regardless of which one ultimately is chosen, it would allow scientists to conduct the same kind of orbital research at distant Jupiter that is now only possible in Earth orbit” (Morring). In essence, the prolongation of…

Uranus: Uranus was discovered in 1781 by a British Astronomer named William Herschel, using a 6 inch telescope. At first he thought that it might be a nebulous star or even a comet, but after continued observation, he realized that it appeared to be a disk in the sky that moved relative to the stars. The movement was far too slow to be a comet and soon enough he realized that he had discovered the 7th planet at the time. At first, he wanted to name it Georgium Sidus which translates to…

orbit the whole planet average is 16.1 hours and yet again the polar regions beat the average by 4 hours at these regions the orbit is just 12 hours the average year on Neptune take 60198 days the atmosphere of Neptune contains gas gaseous hydrogen helium methane ethane that's fine ammonia and water vapor the methane absorbs red light giving the planet it's blue color the atmospheric pressure of a liquid surface is a hundred thousand times greater than it is on Earth.Neptune has the wildest and…

The definition of honor is to regard with great respect and high esteem. My view of honor is respectfulness towards others, and putting others before you. I believe that an honorable person is Ernest Rutherford because of his important scientific contributions in the early 20th Century. Some of the things he did in order to become such an honorable person was by receiving the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908, and being knighted in 1914 (Ernest Rutherford). Ernest Rutherford was known as the…

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” – Neil Armstrong. The Space Race was a competition between the two rivals of the Cold War, the United States of America, and the Soviet Union. The goal was to be the first country to have a man land on the moon. However, for this to happen, there had to be major changes. Specifically, the technology of the time had to be more advanced for both countries to be able to get to the moon. Therefore, the U.S./Soviet Space Race led to amazing…

Apollo 13, also known as (AS-508), was suppose to be the third mission to land on the moon. The crew on the spacecraft consisted of Fred W. Haise, Jr., lunar Module Pilot, John J. Swigert, Jr., command module pilot, and James A. Lovell, Jr., commander. Launched at 2:13 p.m. on April 11, 1970 from the launched from complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. The Apollo 13 mission was planned to launched and land on the moon and return back to Earth. Unfortunately, after about 56 hours into their…

Stars have been mystery for quite a while in history, but Bethe's work made certain conclusions about the nuclear reactions that are possible in star, and how much energy comes from these reactions. The main goal is to measure which reactions are favored to accurately predict how stars emit energy. Also it must be proven that heavy elements are not likely to be formed by calculating probabilities of Nuclear reaction based on favored energy. The most favorable reactions in stars include the…

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 revolution around the sun is equal to twelve years on Earth. Primarily it is made up of Hydrogen and Helium similar to the sun. In addition, the core temperature of Jupiter is around 43,000 degrees Fahrenheit, a lot hotter than the surface of the sun. Interestingly enough, if it had been about 80 times more massive, it would have actually become a star…

The Big Bang theory is a theory scientists use to explain the creation of the universe. According to this theory, the universe was concentrated into a single point 13.7 billion years ago. This theory states that the universe started as a singularity. Time began when this single point exploded causing the expansion of the universe. This expansion formed matter, energy, space, and time. In 1915, Albert Einstein applied his theory of General Relativity to how the universe began. General Relativity…
