Mars One, a non-profit foundation led by a Dutch National and Entrepreneur planned to beat NASA in getting people to the Red Planet to establish a human settlement by 2027.

A feature identifiable through my telescope is the Mare Tranquillitatis or The Sea of Tranquility. Once thought to be an ocean on the Moon. According to NASA, its equatorial position and smooth fields of basaltic lavas was ideal for the first manned lunar landing. Mare Tranquillitatis has a diameter of proximally 873km. When view from Earth, it appears dark this is because the crater has been flooded with mare basalts. Mare Crisium (the sea of Crises), a “nectarine basin (about 3.9 billion…

Conflict can only be resolved by dispelling ignorance. The last embers of Galileo’s candle shines brightly for a moment, casting a troupe of dancing shadows upon the cracked plaster ceiling. A sudden gust of wind from the window puts an abrupt end to the flame. Darkness shrouds his solar. ‘I have had enough light for tonight’s work,’ muses Galileo. The large desk at which he sits is now bare. Moments earlier, to his acquiescent silence, agents of the Catholic Church had relieved the great…

At the onset of every Star Trek episode, the booming voice of William Shatner paints a picture of the future in which humans venture into space “to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.” As a young child, this vision evoked an unabating wonder and passion for space. At that time, exploring space was a distant fantasy. However, upon discovering the power of science and technology in high school, I recognized it might not…

In ancient Chinese poetry, the entire universe was stated as a huge egg in nothingness. This egg contained Yin and Yang mixed together in chaos. Pangu, a strong being, slept in this egg for eighteen thousand years. Pangu has been described as a giant hairy and primitive man for thousands of years. He has two horns on top of his head, and often wore fur. When Pangu had awoken, he had realized that he was left in complete darkness, unable to move and see. He proceeded to stretch his arms and broke…

Though it can be fun to explore, it is far away, very expensive to go there and it is a very hard place to survive at. Different countries have sent probes that intend to crash to the moon’s surface but capture some photos of the surface before the impact. This was the first way to get scientific information about the moon, and it happened…
