The exoplanet Kepler-47 b was found in 2012 using transit method. It is the inner planet in an arrangement of 2 planets orbiting around Kepler-47system, located in the constellation of Cygnus in 4892 light years from the Sun. [7]. It is the smallest planet of the two present in system. Despite being the smallest circumbinary planet detected to this date, the inner planet, Kepler-47 b still has a radius of 3.0±0.1 Earth radii. In addition, too small to be measured directly, has been determined…

Development of the atomic theory throughout history Abstract This paper will explain many concepts of the atomic theory. It will also include very important information that involves 15 scientists and their contributions to the atomic theory. There are many different models that scientists constructed, that they believed atoms looked like. There are only 5 atomic models that have ever been accepted. Our perspective on the atom has changed throughout the years…

12 was already a huge day in space history twenty years before the launch of the first shuttle mission. On that day in 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (left, on the way to the launch pad) became the first human in space, making a 108-minute orbital flight in his Vostok 1 spacecraft. Newspapers like The Huntsville Times (right) trumpeted Gagarin's accomplishment. Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space less than a month later. The first cooperative human space…

More conjugated compounds absorb higher wavelengths/lower energies because as the wavelength increases the HOMO/LUMO gap (ΔE) decreases which is due to the compression of multiple molecular orbitals (ψ). According to Klein, the Ketchup stain (lycopene) on a shirt and upon application of bleach (NaClO), it breaks lycopene’s conjugation, therefore causing a decrease in conjugation; which directly correlates to the stain no longer being visible to the eye but when illuminating the shirt with…

Apollo’s voyage to the moon impacted the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration budget because the trip was so expensive. Scientists talked about their plans to further missions to the moon and eventually Mars. The reason for human exploration of the solar system was because of the Apollo missions. President John F. Kennedy once said, “land a man on the Moon by 1970 and return him safely to Earth”(Mendell, pg 24). Apollo indeed accomplished this goal, because of the desire for human…

Dylan Jeffery ESS 102 4/19/18 Cut off from the Stars : Space Debris & Space Travel As time passes, humanity seems to inch closer and closer to the tipping point of becoming a truly space faring species. However, that momentous step in our evolution could potentially be cut off from us forever if we are not careful with how we handle the already growing space debris problem today. Space debris, in this context, is all of the bits of destroyed man-made technology left in space, some of which…

how a serial killer’s brain differed from a normal person’s brain. He even scanned his own brain to tell the difference. The thing is-he had the same low orbital activity as a serial killer did. (Fallon, 2014). The orbital cortex is the area that is believed to be involved with ethical behavior, moral decision making and impulse control. The orbital context helps control the amygdala part of the brain, involved with aggression and appetites. Fallon’s research indicates that some people’s brains…

Once again because it's just wasting lots of money, also delaying the process of space traveling. Smaller companies are trying to work on bigger projects like space travel. Companies like Orbital Sciences, and Blue Origin are trying to work on stuff like space traveling. According to space.com, “Company: Orbital Sciences Spaceship Name: Cygnus and Taurus 2 rocket and Company: Blue…

the Solar System, after the Sun and seven of the planets, due to the fact that Ganymede is larger than Mercury. All other moons that orbit Jovian planets are less than 250 km in diameter, however, most of them are barely larger than 5 km, while the orbital shapes range from nearly perfect circles to highly eccentric, and many revolve in retrograde motion, the direction opposite to Jupiter's spin. The times it takes them to rotate around Jupiter can range from seven hours, to almost three Earth…

spectra of 2NAP are reported. The theoretical spectrograms for FT-IR spectra of the title molecule have been constructed. The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shift of the molecules are calculated by the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method and compared with experimental results. Further, density functional theory (DFT) combined with quantum chemical calculations were done to find out the first-order hyperpolarizability. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies shows…
