He was one of the leading scientists of his time and is best known as an astronomer, physicist, proabablist, and horologist. His contributions to experimental and theoretical physics were most notably the discovery of Titan, invention of the first pendulum clock, and the earliest theory about the nature of light. His great contributions are of great significance and so he deserves to be chosen…

The Purpose of this Lab: The purpose of this lab was the help the experimenter gain a better understanding of consolations by helping the experimenter be able to identify the circumpolar constellations, understand the effects of earth’s rotation on viewing consolations, be able to use the Sky Map app, and to describe the characteristics of an astronomy photograph. Description of the Materials: Within this lab, the experimenter uses the Sky Map or SkyView in order help label and identify various…

We Choose to go to the Moon In the early 1960's, the world was beginning to deepen its curiosity about outer space and the other planets and celestial bodies other than the Earth itself. This curiosity quickly evolved into a competition for the superpowers of the world to put a man on the moon. The United States of America, was determine not to lose that race. President John F. Kennedy gave his most famous speech at Rice University in Houston Texas on September 12, 1962 announcing that his…

For my science reader project I read the first one hundred pages of the book, Why Nothing Can Travel Faster than Light and Other Explorations in Nature’s Curiosity Shop. In the first one hundred pages I read twelve short essays that addressed topics ranging from measuring the vastness of our universe to global warming In the first story I read, Sky Wanderers, the authors taught me about a beneficial acronym (My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Pies) to remember the names of the planets in order…

him discover four new stars orbiting Jupiter. His telescope was so powerful that he was able to get a more detailed view of the moon’s surface and discovered even more stars within the Milky Way. He was able to realize that there were rings around Saturn. He also discovered sunspots and the different phases of Venus. Overall, he was able to confirm the information of heliocentrism, which is the fact that the sun is the center of the universe. His discoveries at first made him famous. During the…

It can be argued though that Don John is driven by society into becoming a villain, as his bastard statues, being ‘born under Saturn’ removes him from mainstream society, due to his status as a 'saturnine ' stereotyping him by Elizabethan standards as melancholic, sullen and sardonic . His self-deprecating monologues such as ‘I am a plain dealing villain, seek not to alter me’…

Mission To Mars “We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard” -John F Kennedy. Back in May of 1961, John F Kennedy challenged the United States to land a man on the moon, and be the first to do it. However, now the challenge has escalated from a moon landing to a landing on an entirely different planet… and living there. Many different organizations have proposed the idea and are currently working on figuring out if we can reach Mars. We have to ask ourselves, how…

Tesla Roadster should be a cakewalk for the monster rocket. The rocket is capable of carrying twice the payload of the massive Delta IV Heavy rocket built by the United Launch Alliance, and will be the most powerful American rocket since NASA's famed Saturn V moon rocket. The Falcon Heavy is designed to be reusable, with its boosters flying back to Earth much like SpaceX's Falcon 9 first stages. (Malik 1) The launch occurred in January and it was a partial success for the Roadster was launched…

from the sky during the water cycle” Jacob and Mike both said the same thing just in a their own way. When I asked them to describe rain in some other way Jacob and Patrick to it to scientific side mentioning things like side rain and if rain on Saturn was possible. Body 8…

“Space, the final frontier,” at least that is what is said in Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek television show. Outer space has been a big topic since humans have existed the thought of being among the stars and exploring space. This curiosity became a reality with the creation of NASA on July 29, 1956 bringing about a time of space exploration. Even though it didn't make it to the moon for years to come it narrowed down brilliant minds onto the task of getting to the moon. With many victories and…
