optics originated from the Greeks and stated that the eye gives off light itself to produce images of objects . However, Al-Haytham considered situations in the real world that simply didn’t agree with the Greek findings, such as why objects like the moon can’t be illuminated from great distances. Al-Haytham formulated that the eye is instead a receptor of light, and that light is dispersed and diffused in geometric patterns. This is one of the fascinating things about the Golden Age of Islam.…

For My Choice, I was debating between a few different songs and artists. For the assignment, I have chosen the songs Heroes Tonight and Aurora both that are by Janji and Something just like this by Nadia Khristean. Other songs I had considered were Waving through a Window by Ben Platt, or Walk on Water by Thirty Seconds to Mars. Walk on water is more directed towards the population as a whole and how we want to accomplish things that seem impossible but not for the sake of love. Waving through a…

past the redwood trees for my first field trip in fourth grade, the magnificent sight of grand telescopes overwhelmed me once my class arrived at Chabot. At each exhibit, I felt like an explorer in space where I could do anything from walking on the moon to discovering another planet with life. As time flew by, I continued visiting Chabot with my family from time to time, but I decided to finally become a part of the Chabot family in high school. In my freshman-year biology class, I noticed…

Ernie Dingo once said, “Aboriginal achievement is like the dark side of the moon, for it is there but so little is known”. Good evening everyone, it is my privilege today to inaugurate the Australia Day Film Festival. Ernie Dingo’s wise words express the indignation the Aborigines feel for their actions being neglected. This is perfectly highlighted in the two selected films that will assist in the grand opening of the festival. I am honoured today to introduce to you two musical-comedy films,…

people that they sent to a different planet can live in complete harmony with one another, then maybe they could do the same thing and become one. This future union of all races will encourage the people on Earth to re-establish the connection that was lost with the people on…

research in developing new technologies required to reach the moon by pointing out the secondary benefits of such a mission. New technologies will allow the United States to have an advantage over enemies in areas of communication and national defense. In his speech, he cites such benefits as “a satellite system for world-wide weather observation,” as well as new methods of space travel that could potentially take us “beyond the moon, perhaps to the very end of the solar system itself,”. He…

Moon phases affect on tide, tides affect on fishing In order to understand how tides work and how tides affect fishing, the relationship between the motion of the Earth in respect to the Sun and the Moon must first be understood. Newton’s law of gravitation explains that both the proximity and mass of two relative objects increases the attraction present within them. "The Ocean's Tides Explained” article states that on Earth’s axis, the level of the ocean is centered by the centrifugal…
