Planets in astrology

that the Earth was the center of our Universe opposed to the Sun — referred to as a geocentric universe. The ancient Greeks has considered the Moon and the Sun as planets in addition to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The days of the week were later named after the gods who were believed to have been represented by these “planets”. In the third century B.C.E., Aristarchus of Samos presented the first known model in which the Sun was at the centre of the universe and the Earth…

This novel received the Nebula Award for Best Novel of the year, which was awarded by the Science Fiction Writers of America. Additionally, it is acknowledged as a work of science fiction. Yet, nowhere in the book does it mention aliens, outer space, or mutated superhumans derived from a science experiment gone wrong. Unlike the typical science fiction story, Daniel Keyes focuses on the impact that science and technology has had on the protagonist, rather than the world. Though this story does…

The history of earth is hard to imagine without our moon. The moon has had an impact on the earth in many different ways. For as long as man walked this earth, the moon has affected the tides and even the metals of the earth. The phases of the moon are still used to help guide the harvest, and even help determine the time of the river floods. The moon is a place that we know little about and very few people are lucky enough to get to experience it in person. Some interesting facts that we know…

“The Earth means ground in Anglo-Saxon, whereas all the other planets have names from the Roman or Greek gods. Mars formed four and a half billion years ago just like the Earth. The rusty red color of the planet comes from iron oxide. Since it orbits much further from the Sun, the Martian year is twice as long as the Earth’s year. Similar to Earth, it spins on its axis with its day…

The majority of us have always wondered how this time we often talk about became what it is now. Different cultures created calendars to reflect time within their cultures. Whether it is Egyptian, Gregorian or Mayan, they are all similar in the same way that these all made time according to their culture. They all contributed an idea of what our calendar is now. These cultures helped to improve by adding the significant symbol in which they believed in, and what the cultures thought were…

A spiral galaxy is a certain kind of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae and, as such, forms part of the Hubble sequence.

Though the stars and other visible material contained in such a galaxy lie mostly on a…

Summary Assignment #1 Sunspot Cycle: A Brief History In 1610, shortly after viewing the sun for the first time through a telescope, Galileo became the first European to observe sunspots, which are visibly darker, cooler areas on the sun. A little over 200 years later (in 1843), amateur German astronomer Samuel Heinrich Schwabe discovered that there is a cyclical, eleven, and by extension to a full cycle, twenty-two year pattern to the variation of sunspot counts known as the sunspot cycle. In…

The answer to life, the universe, and everything? Simply put, it’s 42. Not only did it take ten million years to get an answer that commonly appears on a fourth grader’s math test, but it also took an incredibly intelligent race on interdimensional mice to discover. Based on that first paragraph alone you should have gotten a taste of the wackiness that goes on in Douglas Adam’s A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This literary work is bursting with comedic “coincidences”, and it’s…
