Moons of Jupiter

Angular velocity, with the addition of a product’s moment of inertia is what creates an angular momentum quantity (Bi 2014). Moving objects keep a constant velocity, however, if acted on by outside forces this would not occur. Say a moving object like, the planet Saturn keeps this constant speed, it thus keeps a constant momentum, since the system is conserved. This conserved system of the planet Saturn would be referred to as angular momentum, since Saturn rotates about an axis. Saturn is also…

Going to mars is a serious matter. Many experts around the world are debating on whether we must go to Mars or not. Mars is the forth planet from the sun, and is known by the Red planet (1) because of the reddish appearance it has. Some people think that it may be a habitable planet to colonize and live on. Others believe that it is a bad idea. For example; going to mars is dangerous and not easy where one trip requires 6 to 7 months in space with lack pf gravity which may cause back pain and 2%…

Even though helium (He) is the second most abundant element in the universe, it is the most important element. First, let me provide you with some information about helium and its history Helium was first discovered in the sun and not the earth. In 1868, astronomer Pierre Janssen found this gas while watching the colors when the sun was going thru a full solar eclipse. Since the Greek word for sun is helios, he named the gas helium. It was not until 1895 that helium was discovered on earth…

Are there other human civilizations somewhere else in the universe? New discoveries have revealed to astronomers that humans may not have only evolved on Earth. Astronomers say that the chance that a human civilization evolved only on Earth and nowhere else in the universe is less than about one in a billion trillion (Shekhtman). The universe is so vast that it is possible there are other Earth-like planets capable of supporting life. The chances that life only evolved on Earth is really low. In…

The scientific significance of New Horizons was great. Up to this point, we had uncovered several mysteries about the planets in the solar system. However, the dwarf planets and smaller objects in our solar system’s outer reaches had great potential for scientific discovery as well. Pluto was chief among these. Specifically, the mission of New Horizons was to explore the Pluto – Charon system, as well as some of their Kuiper Belt cousins (New Frontiers Program, 2015). More specifically, the…

Introduction Delphinus is a constellation that often passes by the watch of astronomers due to its limited size, however this little wonder has fascinating stars that captivate your attention when you take the time to focus upon it. Location South and away from the Milky Way's band lies the constellation Delphinus the Dolphin. This tiny grouping of stars lies in the transition zone from that of the summer star filled skies to that of the sparse autumn skies. Once you have located Delphinus…

various disparate and independent episodes based on the themes. The most remarkable character based on the term of transformation is the king of Gods, Jupiter (Jove). He has sexual relationships with numerous women despite the…

INTRODUCTION: The topic chosen for this assignment is the Original Creation of the Earth (nebular hypothesis vs. six-day creation). The origin of the earth, the universe, ultimately “creation” itself has long been a highly debated topic. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the original creation of the earth from an old-earth secularist view as well as the view from a young-earth creationist’s perspective. Ultimately, the intent is to highlight these opposing views in an attempt to…

and blossoming architecture; the gods met to decide all that lay beneath the mortals. All of time had Jupiter awaited the birth of his younger brother, Pluto, but then a startling prophecy shook the walls of his palace. Pluto was a scripture interlaced with the somberness of the forgotten; he had been born crying in the womb of Gaea. He never interacted with any of the other gods, and only Jupiter loved him dearly. Due to this harsh beginning, Pluto secluded himself to the earth and hid beneath…

Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the sun, and is the largest planet in our solar system. In addition, the planet is primarily made of gases, therefore it considered a “gas giant”. The 142,984 km planet’s atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Therefore, there is no solid ground on Jupiter, so the surface is considered the point where the atmospheric pressure is equal to that of Earth. The effective temperature, or “the temperature of an object calculated from the radiation it…
