will put a ring around Mars.” Phobos, one of the larger martian moons is making its way towards Mars and will eventually hit the gravitational line of Mars. The force will break apart this moon and in result, Phobos will turn into boulders, rocks ,and dust orbiting Mars. Pieces of the moon that do not fall into the orbit will end up crashing into the surface of Mars, causing more craters. This is predicted to happen twenty five to seventy five million years from now, but Mars will end up having…

TRAPPIST-1 twice as old as our close planetary system 0 BY/ON 13 AUGUST 2017 SCIENCE Aug. 11 — Astronomers have limited in on a more exact gauge of the TRAPPIST-1 framework. Researchers trust the star and its exoplanets are in the vicinity of 5.4 and 9.8 billion years of age — as much as twice as old as our close planetary system. The sun was conceived 4.5 billion years back. In February, NASA declared the disclosure of seven Earth-sized planets circling TRAPPIST-1, a ultra-cool smaller…

fossilized life on Mars. Three small rocks that NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover examined on site identified to be the organic compounds that includes complex compound so-called PAHs. Nasa announced that this evidence may show the existence of primitive life in Mars. Ashwin Vasavada, project scientist for the Mars Science Lab (Curiosity), NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, commented that the mankind and Martian can be a close relative like “just a cousin”. “If there was life once on Mars, maybe there is…

“All the Ares missions use Hermes to get to and from Mars. It’s really big and cost a lot so NASA only built one.” Pg 2. Hermes is the large spaceship used for the trip to Mars in the Ares 3 mission. It carries the Ares 3 crew from Earth to Mars’ orbit. “Hermes is powered by ion engines. They throw Argon out the back of the ship really fast to get a tiny amount of acceleration. The thing is, it doesn't take much reactant mass, so a little Argon (and a nuclear reactor to power things) let us…

Mars is in outer space, miles away, waiting for humans to explore. Other people think that it is a horrible idea to colonize Mars since it is a very dangerous risk. People should definitely go to Mars, there are similarities to Earth, the astronauts could test out new technology, and the most important thing, to learn techniques to live on other planets. Both Earth and Mars have many similarities. Scientists say that there may be a type of bacteria on Mars. If Mars has a bacteria that…

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…

On September 28th,2015 NASA researchers announced that they had discovered liquid water on the surface of Mars. They actually told news agencies that they had something big to discuss in relation to Mars. It took several space craft and several centers of research five years to come to this finding. Why is there such a push to find liquid water on mars? As far as science knows, life requires water. Rockets require hydrogen and oxygen. Humans require oxygen to breath and to function. If we want…

Mars’ Secret The vermilion terrain that the rover had wandered over in its short life was the planet Mars. MER-D Gypsy, the 2014 NASA Mars Rover, rolled over its cold sands, then turned its spherical, cycloptic head and looked over the trench before it. The camera on its orbicular crown began snapping photos almost immediately. It was beautiful, a rich, orange coloured valley that seemed bottomless. Markings and natural carvings into the scarlet flesh of the planet showed that water had once…

a multitude of themes. However, the main theme lies within Mark Watney, a botanist and mechanical engineer who was left behind on Mars during an intense storm. Weir uses Watney’s character within the novel to show that success will come after hard work. In this scenario, success equates to survival for Watney, therefore his goal is to escape the barren planet of Mars. There were many steps in which Watney took to succeed, each were executed properly whilst exhibiting qualities of determination…
