Norman Cantor argues the possibility that the Black Death and other forms of diseases may have arrived from outer space due to the unsustainable conditions on primeval earth. Cantor supports this claim through Hoyle and Wickramasinghe’s theory which contradicts the widely accepted fact that plague outbreaks, formed on earth, were first introduced by fleas and rats. The author intends to expose the inconsistencies of the appearance of Black Plague throughout history. Although the theory seems to…

Thesis: Pluto is a dwarf planet, dwarf planets are just like regular planets but much smaller, dwarf planets do not clear the path around the sun. The fascinating dwarf planet Pluto is much more petite than the other planets in our Solar System, which makes it a dwarf planet but that is not the only reason why. In the solar system the dwarf planet does not complete the neighborhood around Pluto’s orbit which means it doesn’t clear the path around the sun, this is another reason why Pluto is a…

The moon phases are caused by the sun illuminating or lighting up one side of the moon. The sun is always illuminating one-half of the moon, depending on what place you are on Earth. That also affects what moon phase you see in The Lunar Cycle. The Lunar Cycle start with the New moon and then goes along to Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, then the Full moon. The cycle still continues on for Waning Gibbous Waning Crescent till it comes back to a New moon. This cycle continues about every 29 days…

According to science a planet is a celestial body that is in the orbit of the sun, has a certain mass and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. A dwarf planet is also a celestial body that orbits the sun, has a certain mass, but has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and is not a satellite. This is what we use to classify planets but we don’t have an actual definition for the word planet. Pluto has been a part of our solar system for a long time now, but the question is Pluto…

“In 1999, the well-known American climber Conrad Anker discovered Mallory’s body on a sloping edge at 27,000 feet, where it had come to rest after an apparent fall seventy-five years earlier.” (Krakauer, 1999, p.18). After conducting further research on this statement, nothing invalidates it but one part; Mallory’s body was found 63 years prior to when Krakauer said he was found. In 1936, Everest pioneer Frank Smythe spotted Mallory’s body during a telescope survey. It was right where Mallory…

Pluto, the most puzzling world in the solar system, is the second largest dwarf planet made of ice and rock. It is 5.9 billion km from the Sun; it has the width of North America. It is a very cold place with minimum temperature of -370 degree Fahrenheit on the surface. One year on Pluto is equal to 248 Earth’s years; it takes a very long time to orbit the Sun. In addition, a day in Pluto lasts 6 Earth’s day. Pluto is a world that stands with light and shade, what causes this contrast may be that…
