In celebration of black history month I would like to recognize Annie Easley who is a mathematician and computer scientist who helped develop power technology analysis software for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Her parents Mary Melvina Hoover and Samuel Bird Easley didn’t have any other child outside of Annie making her an only child between them. Ms. Easley was born April 23, 1933 in Birmingham, Alabama, where she completed grade school and high school. Fifth…

Science exploration has been one of the major breakthroughs in the history of mankind. It has opened the eyes to all of what is located just outside our sight and reach. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, has been a key player in the discoveries that have been made in space. NASA still works diligently to make progress. There are constant missions that continue to explore space and the science realm, private companies competing with NASA, and budget concerns for the…

There is several different theories of how the sun and the planets orbit in the universe. The geocentric models such as the Greek Geocentric model portrays the earth in the center of the universe. The heliocentric models such as the Tycho Heliocentric Model displays the sun being more the center of the universe.

In the introduction to their book The Century, Todd Brewster and Peter Jennings wisely note that experience, not the simple act of memory, constitutes a living history. They also observe that true history is not made up of the noted people but from the unknown masses. During the years between 1960s and 1970s society experienced great loss and pride. The Vietnam War, the Kennedy…

The most famous celestial bond, except for the rings of Saturn, is the Ring Nebula or also known as M57. The Ring Nebula is 2,000 light years away and as seen on Earth the nebula looks like a donut-like ring wrapped around the middle of a football shaped cloud of glowing gas. It’s about one light year across and the glowing light the Ring Nebula produces is not coming from the planets but rather from the hot central star ionizes atoms in the gas forming intense ultraviolent light. As seen…

As mentioned beforehand, the Miliarium was placed in front of the Temple of Saturn, which doubled as the treasury for the vast wealth of the empire, and in view of the entire public area. The monument focused attention on rome in that it made Rome a true center, a culmination of the expanses of the soon-to-be empire. It was such…

absorption levels of red light caused by methane in its atmosphere is thought to be the cause of this bright blue tint. Scientists have found that Neptune and Uranus are more likely to be ice giants rather than gas giants, making them different to Saturn and…

On a wet and humid August 9th, 1974, Richard M. Nixon, the 37th President of the United States resigned from office. Nixon, a formidable opponent on the world stage had fallen from grace. The only question that remains today is simple: Why? How could a man with so much greatness betray himself? Leaders shape the way society thinks and acts. Without them, chaos would ensue.

He was one of the twelve olympian gods. Neptune is often shown with long black hair, wearing sea green clothes sitting in a shell chariot pulled by whales, horses, or sea horses. He is always…
