Planet

I have always had a concern for our planet's health and wanted to ask the question if we are irreversibly damaging our home. If this is the case then there is a possibility that we will be able to colonize different planets in our solar system and or make a man made structure to live in. This topic really hits home with me because I need to know where we will go if our earth can no longer provide us the support we need. We will have to find an affordable way to colonize a place that is foreign…

only planet with life; however, Earth is the only planet with proven life. The cultural view of Aliens coming to earth is a common theme portrayed in entertainment. Looking at aliens with a Christian world view it would be easy to argue that its not mentioned in the Bible that means aliens life not possible. However Christians several hundred years ago admittedly believed that the world was flat. Christians can acknowledge that the creator of the cosmos could have created life on other planets.…

terrain that the rover had wandered over in its short life was the planet Mars. MER-D Gypsy, the 2014 NASA Mars Rover, rolled over its cold sands, then turned its spherical, cycloptic head and looked over the trench before it. The camera on its orbicular crown began snapping photos almost immediately. It was beautiful, a rich, orange coloured valley that seemed bottomless. Markings and natural carvings into the scarlet flesh of the planet showed that water had once flowed as torrents down the…

discovered the planets orbit in a circular motion. Copernicus's idea opened the door for many other philosophers to create and provide more new ideas.…

Heraclides Ponticus and Aristarchus of Samos: “We know that the Earth is (or is not) at rest because...” The two philosophers Heraclides Ponticus and Aristarchus of Samos lived back to back as Ponticus lived from 390 BC – 310 BC and Samos lived 310 BC – 230 BC. Samos was a radical believer in the heliocentric theory of the universe, while Ponticus believed in the geocentric model; however, he believed that the Earth rotated on its axis, but it is at rest otherwise. Should these men have ever…

Hypothesis, all the planets around the Sun should all be tilted the same way. This is false, because we have learned that the inner planets and outer planets have entirely different tilts.…

fourth planet from the sun in our Solar System. Mars got its name from the Roman God of War. Mars means Ares in Roman. Ares is the Roman god of war. Mars is actually much smaller than Earth. It is the 7th biggest planet in our Solar System. The mass of Mars is 6.4169 *1023. That is slightly more than 10% of the Earths mass. It’s radius is 2,106 miles (3,390 Km). The force of gravity at the surface of Mars is 3,711 meters per second. Mars is a terrestrial planet which means that the planet is…

colossal. Billions of galaxies among galaxies, each of them possibly containing planets and worlds of their own; which begs the question: are we the only living creatures existing in this universe? Up until this moment, scientists have not found any evidence of living things in this universe except here on Earth, but there are many convincing arguments that propose we are not alone. Knowing that there are more planets in the universe than the sum of all sounds and words ever said by every human…

Tyson traveled around the country in order to ask people and research whether Pluto should be classified as a planet or not; this became problematic and controversial as people have different beliefs. In the film, a planet was defined as a “celestial body massive enough to clear its orbit” (“The Pluto Files”). According to the definition of a planet, Pluto cannot be classified as a planet because it interferes in Neptune’s orbit; again, this can be controversial among different people. I…

The Jupiter Adventures At long last the Jupiter Spacecraft Voyager has finished its exploration of the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. The Galileo spacecraft was launched on October 19, 1989. It has been through a lot to get to the Jovian system. Even though it had malfunctions in mechanical problems the space probe still managed to survive and keep going on. Very little is known about the outside world, (space) but the discoveries that the Galilean probe has brought back will…
