Without a doubt, one of the greatest mysteries that the world wants to know is whether or not there was life on Mars. Not only this, but if we can eventually get life on Mars. Well, NASA's rover Curiosity gives the world some spirit that perhaps the opportunity of achieving this is possible. NASA' ROVER CURIOSITY EXPLORING MARS Curiosity has been exploring Mars for quite a while now. As a matter of fact, it has been since 2012. Just recently, a photo was surfaced on the web from this rover and…

Eighteenth and 19th century technologies transformed the way in which the night sky was observed and led to the discovery of celestial wonders, from stars, galaxies, meteors, moons, planets, comets to nebula. The result was, in part, the creation of celestial maps that showed an exponential number of stars in the heavens, adding to the awe of a sphere that is millions of miles away and beautiful beyond compare. Star atlases became a way of conveying information about the heavens, and Elijah H.…

Long have we have looked to the stars, be it for navigation, spiritual guidance or shear awe. But, believe it or not, the wonders we see in the night sky with our naked eyes are only a glint of the universe’s enormity, and, as said by Julianne Dalcanton in her 2009 article 18 Years of Science with the Hubble Space Telescope, our hazy atmosphere even limits our ground-based instruments as well. (Dalcanton) Both the incapability of our eyes and our local telescopes hindered astronomy for…

kilometers per hour, but it takes 230 million years to make a full orbit. It has a mass that is estimated to be 1.988×1030 kg, which is 330,000 times the mass of Earth. This allows it to have a strong enough gravitational pull to have eight distant planets orbit around it. The diameter of the Sun is estimated to be 696,342±65 kilometers, which is 109 times the diameter of Earth. The average density of the sun is 1.408 g/cm3, which is only a quarter of the density on Earth.The temperature of the…

The ancient Greeks contributed much to modern astronomy, inventing and utilizing the scientific method to study and chart the heavens through experiments, careful observation and meticulous records of their findings. However, they were not only good at the observational aspect of astronomy, but also the theoretical aspect as well, speculating about the Universe's size, structure and nature, and about everything that the Universe encompassed. Indeed, the Greeks were masters of this art, and their…

Engineer, I strongly believe that the world should be more concern and preserve our natural resources, otherwise, we would have no food left to feed our hungry stomach and no fuel to transport and travel. As a result, there would be no one left in this planet we so called it “home.” As the population booming to the extreme, the demand for food also…

because she is not like the other kids in the planet she is being herself and the kids don’t like that and bully her, in here she needs to be more like herself more to not be bullied. The theme is that bullies don not know how are the kids they are bullying because Margot already saw the Sun and the way she is. Margot is being bullied because in Earth she saw the Sun and the other kids that are bullying her do not remember how it was. In this planet, the Sun comes out every 7 years and the kids…

this book was intimidating at first, deGrasse Tyson offers the easiest explanations of what he talks about. Such information the book contains are: the hunk of matter, we live on called Earth and its relationships to the sun, asteroids, and other planets. The book deGrasse Tyson writes also dives into the unknown world of dark matter and energy, light, what’s between the galaxies, and stars. Throughout the book, deGrasse Tyson explains how the spiritual beliefs people hold can be explained using…

September 28th is a newfound holiday and benchmark of yet another view into space for mankind; after 15 years of searching for evidence, this day in 2015 was the day water was confirmed to be on Mars. "Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of it in the past," says Jim Green from NASA, "Liquid water has been found on Mars." Dark streaks that marked the surface and slopes of Mars were further investigated and proven to be liquid water flowing down the planet's ridges. During warm…

(Sec.1) Imagine being an alien that’s only exposed to a portion of the planet you live on. In turn, when you reach a certain level of age or development, you’re able to access the other portion of this planet, but no one has taught you much about or warned you of this other portion. Many students, when finishing K-12 grades, would relate to this analogy because they are not given all the proper skills in the public education system to take with them in the workforce, college, and America’s…
