Moons of Jupiter

Imagine a time where humans could travel half of the speed of light. Humans could go to mars in under 10 minutes! This time is not that far away. With the new research of antimatter, scientists have found many impressive tasks we can accomplish. Even though there are many positive aspects of antimatter, many people are scared of it. This article will discuss why antimatter is a good thing and why we should be using it more. Many of people might not know what antimatter is. Antimatter is…

within our solar system by Scott Sheppard and Chadwick Trujillo in 2014 (Hunt 1) the hunt has been on for the elusive object. The use of extreme Kuiper Belt objects (eKBOs) which are objects believed to not be significantly influenced by Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, contributed to the idea of another object in the solar system influencing them (Malhotra 1). The study of the eKBOs orbit around our sun lead to the proposal of Planet X as the object that explains the orbits of the…

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 learn about asteroids, comets, and meteorites. There is an interactive map, which the children could use to…

3. Tasks In order to get answers to the Mission questions, Euclid will measure the geometry , expansion rate and structure growth in the Universe as a function of redshift. This map, spanning 3/4 of the lifetime of the Universe will complement the single snapshot at z ≈1100 made by WMAP and Planck. By combining the use of Redshift measurements (4.1), Weak gravitational lensing (4.2) and Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (4.3), both Dark Energy (DE) and Dark Matter(DM) will be investigated in the…

The NASA website has archives of all missions ever performed by them. I chose some of the current missions such as Juno: mission to Jupiter, The International Space Station, And Curiosity mars rover. All Missions performed from NASA are costly, but all have very important reasons for those cost.The Juno spacecraft will for the first time peer below the dense cover of clouds to answer questions about the gas giant and the origins of our solar system. Juno's primary goal is to reveal the story of…

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…

Learn or Stay Curious? The idea that our world has been visited by other worldly beings, in the past is becoming about as popular as believing in god. I became interested in other worldly beings over winter break. I found a show on Netflix called Ancient Aliens, I watched the first episode and I was hooked. The idea that we are not alone made me feel small, but in a way it made me feel more secure, knowing that there could be someone looking out for us. The more I watched the show the more…

Helium is the second element in the periodic table. Its period number is 1 and it is apart of group number: 18. The group that Helium falls under is the Noble Gases. The element has an atomic number of 2, an atomic mass of 4 and is classified as a non-metal. It is the second most abundant element in the universe. Helium was discovered on the sun before it was found on the earth. In 1895, Pierre-Jules-César Janssen, a French astronomer and Norman Lockyer, an English astronomer both who discovered…

The existence of the Kuiper Belt was hypothesized by Gerard Kuiper in 1951. Kuiper described an expanse of icy space material beyond Neptune as the only explanation for short-lived comets. However, that anomaly was not the sole phenomenon the Kuiper Belt and its contents helped explain. The Kuiper Belt’s primordial origins have established it as one of the most helpful tools to aid in learning more about the solar system’s beginning. Its existence debunks the original theory of the belt’s…

Neon is the 10th element on the periodic table. It was discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in 1898 (Mowat 130). It has 10 protons, 10 neutrons, and 10 electrons. Neon has no stable compounds because it is a noble gas. However, there are three stable isotopes, the most abundant being neon-20 (90.5%). It has no color, odor, or taste. It changes from a gas to a liquid at -245.92°C and from a liquid to a solid at -248.6°C (Chemical Elements). It is found in the sun and the…
