He also proposed that atoms contain a cloud of electrons that orbit around the nucleus, and that most of the atom is empty space. During his time he was the scientist that knew the most and had most greatly contributed (with experiments) to the atomic theory of that time. Contribution to the modern atomic theory the…

When cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space giving the red a huge victory against the United States. But Alan Shepard actually could have beaten the soviet had they decided not to test the launch missile more. Just like how the United States could have launched a missile before the Soviet Union whose October 1957 launch shocked America and set the race in motion. But the two losses didn’t stop America who put the first man on the moon in1969. Shortly after Gagarins success,…

SUPERGIANT STAR Supergiants are among the most luminous and massive stars, ranging between 7-10 solar masses and can range in brightness from thirty thousand to hundreds of thousands the output of our sun. They reside in the top region of the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram; having temperatures from 3,500k to over 20,000k and having bolometric absolute magnitudes between -5 and-12. Supergiants are massive enough to begin burning helium gently in their core before it becomes degenerate, and without…

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, or JPL, is a federally funded research and development center that managed by CalTech and works closely with NASA. It functions to build and operate planetary spacecraft, and uses these spacecraft to orbit the earth and carry out missions in space. JPL is responsible for running NASA’s Deep Space Network by utilizing three telescopes to provide a view of space and communicate with space stations. JPL Robotics also created the Curiosity Rover, currently on Mars. This…

task. This such machine is known as the Orion. It is a new ship created for deep space travel and long trips, including traveling to mars. As a result, NASA has reported that Orion and it’s crew will take flight in 2020 to redirect an asteroid to orbit the moon (NASA, 5). Orion will be equipped with new heat resistant mental and other forms of technology to make it compatible with the harsh qualities of space. With such advancements humans are on a steady track to their possible new home on the…

powerful impacts, which usually cracked and deformed the lunar crust and eject a material over a huge area. These basins often have many rings of ridges. Craters come in two forms; Primary craters are created by an object formally in a heliocentric orbit and, secondary craters are formed…

In the early feminists of criminology, we learned that a female duty is to be the caretaker, her place is inside of her home and nothing else. People live by these stereotype which causes female to seek for attention, and try to show they are capable of doing what a man can do. Around the early 70’s during the women's movement, the liberation, women offenders started to increase to more masculine crime. "women have demanded equal opportunity in the fields of legitimate endeavors, a similar…

William Herschel was a British scientist and astronomer who lived and studied during the late 18th century. He had a particular fascination with space and everything it contained, and he made it his goal to understand “the construction of the heavens”. The search for new astronomical objects during Herschel’s time was huge, and at one point during his studies, he began to become very intrigued by the discovery of nebulae. This interest of Herschel was partly due to the studies of another fellow…

I. Introduction to Mars Mars, the red planet, is the fourth planet from the sun and is located directly after the planet Earth. Mars is the second smallest planet in our solar system right after Mercury. Mars is named after the roman god of war. However, it is often just referred to as the red planet. This is due to iron oxide that is found on the surface that gives it its reddish look. (Lawler, 2015) Though we do not know who exactly discovered Mars, we do know that the first person to…
