New Moon

decided, after analyzing some data from researches, that the moon was dry. Years later, they got to the conclusion that there was a presence of water, just that they didn’t know what its origin was. Looking for a cause, they thought it was the falling comets that left some of their carrying water in the Earth’s satellite, based on pictures taken. Nowadays, with the development of new technology and better resources to gather information in the Moon, they understood what could be an unknown…

Uranus has many moons and cold temperatures with its average temperature being -216 degrees Celsius. The planet has a much longer orbit than the earth. Uranus also has a large figure and as stated earlier, it is the 3rd largest planet. There has only been one spacecraft to Uranus, which was Voyager 2 on this mission, NASA collected important details about Uranus and other planets as well.

Why is Apollo 13 Considered a Successful Failure? "Houston, we've had a problem..." Apollo 13 was to land on the moon. An explosion on Apollo 13 forced it to have to circle the moon without landing. Around five and a half minutes after Apollo 13 took off, John Swigert, Fred Haise and James Lovell felt a vibration. Then the center engine shut down. This caused the remaining four engines to burn longer than what they had planned. The S-IVB third stage had to burn longer to put Apollo 13 into…

When it crosses the eastern side of the horizon plane it is rising / setting (circle). Page 5 – The Horizon Diagram Describe the location of the moon in the sky of the horizon diagram at bottom. Use direction words (like north, west, etc.) and estimate its altitude in degrees. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Page 6 – The Witness and the Detective If we know the moon's position…

The Moon is a natural satellite of Earth. Earth only sees one face of the Moon at all times because of the Moon's synchronous rotation. This is due to the fact that the Moon rotates on its axis the same amount of time that it takes to complete an orbit around Earth. The current explanation for the formation of the Moon is called the giant impact hypothesis. Which proposes that an object the size of Mars collided with Earth, blasting Earth's outer layers into space. These layers would…

why should we care? Neil Armstrong was the first man too walk on the moon and the pilot too land on the moon. This all happened in 1996 July 20 he was not the first man in space however but that doesn’t matter right now. Why should you care about him? It’s a good chance that you weren't alive or were too young too remember when he landed. He opened up a whole new world too explore and thanks too him we beat russia too the moon. Also this was important because now we have satellites which can…

could go extinct if we don’t find another planet to colonize on before the sun swallows Earth. Also, space has helped us learn about the moon and even Earth. I take the position that we should explore outer space instead of exploring underwater because eventually we will have to evacuate Earth, space will cost less than underwater, and space helps us learn new things. My first reason why we should explore space is, eventually we will have to evacuate Earth. One example is, the sun will swallow…

life. What I was looking for wasn’t another teacher, guru, or guide, I have been to lots of those, I needed people in my everyday life who accepted me, supported me, and built up my spirit.
