For example, thanks to the Kepler, telescope launched in 2009, scientists now know that there are possibly over 3,000 planets orbiting over 2,000 stars in the Milky Way galaxy none of which were known about until the last couple of years! Orbiter and Mars rovers, Spirit, Opportunity,…

as the name of the former. These two gods followed their father Ares, the Greek god of war, into the fields of battle, inflicliting terror on their opponents. It must be noted that Ares was named Mars in the Roman mythology, this being the reason why the two moons that followed the planet we 've named Mars are aptly called by the names of the sons that followed this god of…

UFO's AND ALIENS: I think the government and NASA are keeping the truth about life outside our planet hidden from society. How can we be so arrogant and think that we here on earth are the only living beings in this gigantic universe with billions of stars galaxies, suns, solar systems and planets. Everyday there are sightings all over the world by citizens, commercial pilots, and military personnel. I think we have been visited and offered help to benefit mankind with technologies that can…
American author Andy Weir. His book was later turned into a motion picture that was released on October 2, 2015, which stars Academy Award winning actor Matt Damon as the main character, Mark Watney. The Martian is about six scientists who travel to Mars aboard a NASA spacecraft to check the planet and it characteristics. While they are there collecting dust, taking pictures, and recording data everything seems to be fine; then tragedy strikes. Scientist Mark Watney is going to have to fight for…
Mercury's surface is similar in appearance to the appearance of the Moon, showing plains and heavy cratering, indicating that it has been inactive for billions of years. Knowledge of Mercury's geology has been based only on the 1975 Mariner flyby and terrestrial observations, it is the least understood of the terrestrial planets. As data from messenger orbiter is processed, this knowledge will increase. For example, an unusual crater with radiating troughs has been discovered that scientists…
of a human mission to planet Mars has been capturing the attention of everybody. It has manifested itself in cinema, art, and literature. In order for this to happen scientist have to determine if Mars can support life. On November 26, 2011 NASA launched a robotic space probe mission to Mars, called “Mars Science Laboratory”. This mission successfully landed Curiosity rover in Mars on August 6, 2012 (Space). The objectives of this mission included investigating Mars’ habitability, studying its…
Modeling Periodic Phenomena: The Orbit of Mars Introduction Billions of years old, Mars is the 4th planet from the sun in our solar system and the last of the terrestrial planets before the asteroid belt. The planet neighbors Earth and has seen a plethora of exploration craft from our planet. Mars orbits around the Sun on an ellipse, as dictated by Kepler’s laws (which state that all orbits are ellipses). Mars’ elliptical shape is a lot less circular than Earth, due to its high orbital…
The future of space exploration starts today with the Space Launch System. Soon we will be able to go farther and faster than ever before to explore Mars and everything beyond. There are many difficult choices to be made before this is possible. We must choose a transportation method for the crew to travel these vast distances. SEP-Chem and the Hybrid Method are the two most promising methods. We must also be able to use Mars’s natural resources to our advantage and explore new ways of getting…
