Organic matter

Astronomers recently discovered one of the most massive black holes to date in the cosmic background. This supermassive black hole contains 17 billions times the mass of the Sun, only slightly smaller than the most massive black hole ever found, which is 21 billion solar masses. For comparison, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way totals only 4 solar masses . This newly found black hole lies in the center of the galaxy NGC 1600, which lies 200 million light-years from Earth in the…

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying. Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes. They are invisible. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently than other stars. Black holes can be big or small. Scientists…

because the notion of dark matter piqued my interest. It’s non-luminous so it cannot be directly observed by a telescope, which prompted me to learn more about the topic and understand it on a deeper level. Outline Introduction In this stage, the topic will be introduced, as well as a brief introduction of the subtopics that will be addressed. However the bulk of this stage will be dedicated to discussing dark matter and its history in relation to galaxy clusters. Dark matter is a fairly new…

The Song of Roland, the classic story of Charlemagne’s most heroic vassal and warrior, is a tale that perfectly demonstrates the feudal values and military prowess of the people of the day. Feudal society depended on the principles Roland believed in. The warlike spirit was personified through his sword, the Durendal, which holds great significance in Catholicism because it holds relics of saints and other prized artifacts. As it was the ultimate symbol of power and authority, Roland felt grave…

Dark Matter and Dark Energy Casson VanDervoort Northview High School  Dark energy and dark matter are commonly found to disprove common knowledge in the world of science but still, these two forces are unknown and untapped. Both dark energy and dark matter are commonly referred to as one another but, in fact they’re different. The two are mostly found together but, dark matter may have been found to be linked to primordial black holes. One may ask, “What is dark matter and energy and…

Organic or Conventional Gardening: Which Would You Rather Use? Everyday people are growing more and more concerned of where their food comes from. The push for more organic produce in local grocery stores poses the question if there are marked differences between organic and conventional gardening. With the recent increases in organic farming, people are flocking towards buying organic opposed to buying conventionally grown food. Many wonder if buying organic is really better for the consumer…

Summary After the recession in 2007, the supermarkets and grocery stores industry has grown over the time, benefiting from a strengthening domestic economy. As a disposable income has grown during this time, some consumers have switched to premium, organic and all-natural brand due to health concerns. The health concerns helped increasing Whole Foods Market, Inc. revenue. Despite a growth during this period, Whole Foods Market, Inc. faced intensifying competition because most products are…

ride in a combine. I was not expecting much out of this project because I thought I would just ask a few questions and be done with my 5 hours. I enjoyed it so much that I spent another 6 hours helping out in an organic soybean field and being able to learn a few things that go into organic farming. Going back even further, I signed up for this class thinking I could learn more about stars and the sea, not the environmental factors to the planet itself that would lead me to an actual real life…

never have ("Organic Agriculture"). Soil improves the formation and structure of the land and creates a more stable system. Therefore, nutrient and energy cycling is increased and the soil for nutrients and water are enhanced. Pollution of chemically enhanced fertilizers and pesticides in water is a major problem in the industrial farming system. The use of these products are prohibited in organic farming. Instead, they use animal fertilizers as well as compost. Well maintained organic systems…

(Abrams, Andy). Technically the earth produces enough food for everyone, but the food is not able to reach those who need food. University of California study found that “relatively small, and potentially overestimated, differences in yield between organic and conventional agriculture, despite…
