Jupiter

For my science reader project I read the first one hundred pages of the book, Why Nothing Can Travel Faster than Light and Other Explorations in Nature’s Curiosity Shop. In the first one hundred pages I read twelve short essays that addressed topics ranging from measuring the vastness of our universe to global warming In the first story I read, Sky Wanderers, the authors taught me about a beneficial acronym (My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Pies) to remember the names of the planets in order…

that one planet with the the ring around it. Some people even assume that it’s the one and only planet with a ring about it. Those people would be wrong. Saturn is one of four planets that have rings in their orbit. The other three would include Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. The sixth planet in our solar system definitely has the largest in size and by far the most interesting out of the four. Like mention as second ago, Saturn is the sixth planet within the solar system and the second largest as…

responses were created out of a need for explanations about the meaning of slavery. According to Jupiter Hammon, using religion to comfort the slaves would attract their attention and give them hope. According to David Walker, using an Old Testament liberation theology mixed with the natural rights tradition of Declaration of Independence would cause them to take action. While both commentators, Jupiter Hammon and David Walker addressed slavery from their perspectives, the abolitionist movement…

Where No Man Has Gone Before “Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying” (A.C. Clarke, n.d.) Since the discovery of the greater universe, mankind has looked to the stars and wondered whether or not other forms of intelligent life were among them. Some say that humanity is alone in the cold void of outer space, claiming that other civilizations would have found Earth by now had they existed in the first place. Others believe that…

Imagine a time where humans could travel half of the speed of light. Humans could go to mars in under 10 minutes! This time is not that far away. With the new research of antimatter, scientists have found many impressive tasks we can accomplish. Even though there are many positive aspects of antimatter, many people are scared of it. This article will discuss why antimatter is a good thing and why we should be using it more. Many of people might not know what antimatter is. Antimatter is…

Web Site one: The name of the site is: Astronomy for Kids. The URL for the site is: http://www.kidsastronomy.com/solar_system.htm. The user of this site would be: the students. On this site the student will be able to find information about the sun or any of the planets in our solar system. Another aspect of the site is that students can learn about the different moons of the planets. This site also contains interesting information about Saturn’s rings. Finally, the students will be able to…

3. Tasks In order to get answers to the Mission questions, Euclid will measure the geometry , expansion rate and structure growth in the Universe as a function of redshift. This map, spanning 3/4 of the lifetime of the Universe will complement the single snapshot at z ≈1100 made by WMAP and Planck. By combining the use of Redshift measurements (4.1), Weak gravitational lensing (4.2) and Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (4.3), both Dark Energy (DE) and Dark Matter(DM) will be investigated in the…

We all experience day and night and every night when the sun goes down, we have a different form of light. The moon orbits the Earth, like the Earth orbits the sun. The moon we see only orbits around Earth. As the moon orbits our planet, we see that the shape of the moon changes throughout each month. This is because the amount of light that the sun that illuminates the moon changes monthly. These are called the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon are the changes in amount of moon…

What is the solar system? The solar system is the what we call home, it is the collection of the eight planets and their moons. These celestial objects orbit around the sun, although this was not always the case back in 140 AD Claudius Ptolemy contemplated with the idea or theory of a geocentric universe. The literal definition of geocentrism is having the earth as the center of the universe and the at the other celestial objects orbiting the earth. Theses celestial objects are called planets.…

An impact basin or impact crater is defined as the circular depression in the surface of a solid body in the solar system such as moon or some other planet. A lunar impact basin is a depression / cavity caused by a meteor or comet hitting the Moon with a greater speed. Impact basins typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding surface. There are over 40 impact basins on the Moon. These basins were created by extremely powerful impacts, which usually…
