Planets in astrology

There has recently been a NASA spacecraft, called New Horizons, that flew to Pluto to do some studying. The spacecraft took off 9 ½ years ago from Cape Canaveral, Florida and its flight has spanned 3 billion miles. The spacecraft is operated from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. New Horizons has taken pictures of Pluto and has revealed a variety of landscapes. From soaring mountains to dunes to frozen ice. “Pluto is showing us a diversity of…

I wanted to explore the skies, land on the moon and unravel the mysteries of the universe. Astronomy was a common obsession among my friends as well. I still remember showing my friends my new astronomy books at lunch breaks. I loved to look at planets, stars and galaxies—they were so beautifully illustrated in the books. One day, I convinced my dad to take me and my friends to a science camp, so we can see everything with our own eyes. After looking at the sun, the moon and the stars through…

Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the sun, and is the largest planet in our solar system. In addition, the planet is primarily made of gases, therefore it considered a “gas giant”. The 142,984 km planet’s atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Therefore, there is no solid ground on Jupiter, so the surface is considered the point where the atmospheric pressure is equal to that of Earth. The effective temperature, or “the temperature of an object calculated from the radiation it…

Testing the Validity of the Approach of Using Hydrogen and Helium Emission Spectra with the Rydberg Equation to Determine the Ionization Energy of Helium Michelle Plavnik Department of Chemistry, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, 30322, United States PAGE 2 ABSTRACT: The purpose of this lab is to determine how accurate the Rydberg equation is at modeling helium transitions and finding the ionization energy from those transitions. To accomplish this aim, the spectra of hydrogen and helium were…

We may not be sending people into space but we can still explore space through the telescopes on and around our planet surveying star upon star looking for answers to the questions that we as a races want answered. Are we alone “Two possibilities exist, either we are alone in this universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying” Arthur c. Clarke. As we are restrain by are life spans we use robots and unmanned space craft one of the more famous space telescopes we have is Kepler have systems…

The star outside your spaceship's windshield is a spectacular sight. HR 5171 A is a fireball 1,300 times larger than the Earth's sun. It's so big that if it were in our sun's position, it would swallow up Earth beneath its 10,000°F surface. To look at it from your spaceship, you have to wear special goggles--this star is almost a million times brighter than our sun. As you watch HR 5171A burn, you notice something strange. An object is peeking over the horizon, growing larger and larger. It's…

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…

fall along the boundary between bands for radio and microwave electromagnetic spectrum, and have longer wavelengths than optical light. This band of light allows astronomers to probe the dark cores of gas clouds to study the formation of stars and planet, and see a very distant light that was shifted to the red end of the spectrum. The electronic detector is called "front end" that amplifies and converts the radio signals received by each antenna ALMA should be kept to a cooling 4 Kelvin (minus…

The world needs something. In all summer in a day Ray Bradbury's characters want the joy from the sun. They haven't been up and playful as usual. As the sun sets on Venus with raindrops falling all the characters wish for a day with sun and heat. Through the story bradbury uses feelings and emotion to show what it's like without the sun. In the beginning the author uses Margot's speech to show how mad the kids can get when she explains the sun. She is from earth and the kids get senselessly mad…

The planet Jupiter is one of the five objects to be visible from Earth in the solar system. Of these bodies it is the second largest behind the sun. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System with a mass of 1.899x1027kg orbiting at 5.2AU from the Sun. Jupiter is orbited by 67 moons of which the first four are called the Galilean moons as of their discovery in 1614 by Galileo. Jupiter formed about 4.6billion years ago from the cloud of dust and gas that made up the early Solar System.…
