Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

How satellites have been used to help society? A satellite is a space body which has been created by colliding of two or more space objects (for ex. meteorites). There are two types of satellites: natural satellites (like moon, an earth’s satellite) and man-made (artificial), satellites launched to the orbit by people. Natural satellites A natural satellite is space body that orbits another space body bigger than itself. Natural satellites are not man-made satellites. They come from space…

The two main types of lights are the sun and the moon, respectively designated as a greater and a lesser light. One reason the moon may be lesser is because its surface reflects the light of the sun rather than creating light within itself, like the sun. The notion of a greater light and a lesser light is similarly expressed in John 1. Jesus, as the son of God, is the ‘true’ - in meaning perfect and ideal - light. John is a witness to the light, not the light itself, suggesting his figure as a…

The Evolvable Mars Campaign Introduction There are two transportation methods of the approaches to the mars. The two methods are the SEP-Chem and the Hybrid method. In the SEP-Chem architecture, the system destination and the propellant return or the stages are pre-deployed proceedings to the troop leaving by the spacecraft of the cargo and it is a solar electric. While in the Hybrid approach, the systems of the destinations are also installed before the troop leave via the SEP, but the…

This novel received the Nebula Award for Best Novel of the year, which was awarded by the Science Fiction Writers of America. Additionally, it is acknowledged as a work of science fiction. Yet, nowhere in the book does it mention aliens, outer space, or mutated superhumans derived from a science experiment gone wrong. Unlike the typical science fiction story, Daniel Keyes focuses on the impact that science and technology has had on the protagonist, rather than the world. Though this story does…

Anglo-Saxon, whereas all the other planets have names from the Roman or Greek gods. Mars formed four and a half billion years ago just like the Earth. The rusty red color of the planet comes from iron oxide. Since it orbits much further from the Sun, the Martian year is twice as long as the Earth’s year. Similar to Earth, it spins on its axis with its day being approximately twenty-four and a half hours long. However, Mars is only half the size of Earth, which translates into much less…

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…

The source I chose to evaluate is an article called “Is Pluto a planet?” written by Graham Rax. This source was published by Kalmbach Publishing Company in 1999, and mainly talked about is the Pluto should be consider as a planet or not. For this paragraph, it mainly talks about what is planet, what the figure does the Pluto has, and it give a conclusion that we can’t define the Pluto as a planet or treat is as a member of Kuiper Belt. We can tell that the article was published by a formal…

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…

In the article Mission to the Lost Planet by Tim Folger, Folger tells us about how the belt between mars and Neptune has two gigantic asteroids named Ceres and Vesta, two asteroids that almost were formed into planets. Ceres is now considered a dwarf planet and Vesta has similar geological features that resemble Earth’s surface. Folger Begins to tell us about Marc Rayman who is a chief engineer for a NASA mission that launched a spacecraft known as Dawn into space to head towards both Ceres and…

Alien Vortex and Killer Sea Farts are alike and different in many ways. The articles explains some ideas about what the Bermuda Triangle is. The Bermuda Triangle is a body of water in the North Atlantic Ocean. This is not like any other bodies of water, The Bermuda Triangle is where many aircrafts and ships have randomly and mysteriously disappeared. Super natural events and methane gas are two theories of the Bermuda Triangle. The Alien Vortex talks about things other Killer Sea Farts. The…
