Planet

stars for navigation and just generally drooled over the sky for thousands of years. There is a void surrounding us that is so large we call it “space”. But it’s not an empty, cavernous expanse, it’s filled with a multitude of stuff: from stars to planets, comets to black holes, there’s even a Super Sized Space Puddle.[1] Yet, some people aren’t interested in what is out there, they’re quite content to keep their mind grounded on earth. And I don’t get that at all. Why wouldn’t you want to know…

understand more than just our world, it allows humankind to learn about the infinite space Earth floats through. Earth will change and is changing, but the universe will be there forever. According the astronaut Michael Collins, if people “could see their planet from a distance of - 100,000 miles, their outlook would be fundamentally changed. That all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument suddenly silenced” (Collins). Just seeing Earth from outer space helps people gain…

future is one that is easy to discuss when it comes to the future but Star Wars is one where you really have to think, how does this relate? Star Wars Portrays a Society that spans many planets instead of just one. It is a galaxy where people use space ships to drive everywhere and can travel from planet to planet in a matter of minutes. Their weapons are lasers and society is a little bit more like the wild wild west than truly civilized. Back to the Future however, portrays a civilized society…

The Dawn Mission created an image of the Solar System completed by learning both distinct bodies with the same tools on the same spacecraft. In order for the Dawn to carry three science instruments data that will be used in combination to characterize the bodies. The data information that returned from the spacecraft could offer chances for information in our knowledge of how the Solar System shaped. The instruments that are involved are a visible camera, a visible and electromagnetic mapping…

It is the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system. It has its own way of protecting itself and life on it (species, humans and plants), it has a strong magnetic field to protect itself and life on it from solar…

believed to be alien life evidence, but it was debunked by scientists. NASA scientist William Borucki, who has led teams discovering new planets, says that aliens do not exist (Winsor N.P.). He states that he is actually surprised at the absence of alien life on other planets (Winsor N.P.). Borucki has helped discover 1,000 planets and many more possible planets, so this makes him a credible witness (Winsor N.P.). In 1996, Bill Clinton conducted a study that said a meteor from Mars had contained…

this idea that he would like it to be kept the same way for at least a little time, because even he knows that you can’t hold the humans off forever. As part of his final wishes, he asks Captain Wilder, “See what can be done to restrict tearing this planet apart, at least for fifty years, until the archaeologists have had a decent chance will you?” (Bradbury 69) Spender truly wanted to preserve Mars unlike how Earth was not preserved when places were colonized. They humans were going to come in…

Most of them explored the Ocean and the ancient cities that found 150 miles under the Earth but every inch of the ocean had been scoured and the cities had nothing left to tell when I was born. The idea of aliens potentially taking me to another planet felt like my calling. I was lucky to get this job with so many other people applying due to everything on Earth being fully scanned. END TRANSMISSION… LOG 3: Well I’ve made it to Jupiter and all the preparations have been made for the jump and…

Carlie Zeisler Mrs. Stetson Scientific Revolution Paper Johannes Kepler “The path of a planet around the sun is an ellipse, with the Sun as the focal point,” -Kepler's first law of planetary motion. The Scientific Revolution was the beginning of the scientific discoveries that have formed modern science. This period started during the end of the Renaissance and continued throughout the 18 century. Johannes Kepler was a major figure in this period, including the observations mentioned in his…

confirmed planets. Draco consists of lots of double stars. My planet is mercury. On Mercury the temperatures range from 100K to 700K. This is mostly because there is no atmosphere. It has no natural satellites and it has an orbital period of about 116 days. Mercury only rotates every two mercurian years. The basic supplies you will need lots of oxygen, a very strong heat resistant spacesuit, and lots of food. The more detailed supplies are a base, a rover, and a rocket out of the planet. You…
