Expectations and Motivation Letter Study Research Objectives: Waiting 48 hours only to get 3 hours of electricity to watch highlights of my favorite soccer team was an unpleasant norm. The more concerning fact was the knowledge that we were among the 7% of the population who had access to electricity. The service was mediocre at best and mostly unreliable. I decided to take part in solving the problem, but as a 9-year-old child, how could I take on this great task? This is when I began setting…

1977. This alignment occurs only once every 175 years. The Grand Tour as the program was called had launch windows between 1976 and 1980. The original idea of the Grand Tour was to send four probes to ultimately visit every planet in our outer solar system. In 1971 funding for the Grand Tour program was canceled in the 1973 NASA budget due to the federal budget reducing NASA funding and subsequently NASA focusing on the new shuttle program. To keep their dream alive NASA reworked their…

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT POSSIBLE ALIEN MEGASTRUCTURE In Everything, Features, Intelligence By Jeff Sorensen You may have heard in the past few days that the NASA’s Kepler space telescope found that KIC 8462852 (an F-type main-sequence star located in the constellation Cygnus approximately 454 parsecs (1,480 ly) from Earth) noticed that lighting events observed at the star seemed very odd over the past few years. The dimming events happened so much so that scientists figured…

the ship cut down on cost to include such a device? Also, normal space missions have to keep enough energy to sustain human life with just the essentials, but on a trip to Mars which could take 68 days (Sample), there would need to be enough energy to keep this shield up for all that time on the way to Mars and on the way back. This is a considerably large amount of energy that needs to be added to the ship. While there are many problems that could be found in this type of shield, the mastermind…

and about 1% comes from solar energy. This can be seen as not being a very practical use of energy sources since nonrenewable resources are limited. Renewable sources can be replenished and have a much smaller chance of running out than nonrenewable sources. Solar energy is one of the least used energy sources that people have access to in the world; it is also one mother Earth is relying on to save the nonrenewable fuels, such as coal. Renewable energy sources, like solar energy, are very…

the eight planets within our solar system; Nine, if you consider Pluto to be a planet. When we, as an average audience, look at the Saturn we automatically think that it’s that one planet with the the ring around it. Some people even assume that it’s the one and only planet with a ring about it. Those people would be wrong. Saturn is one of four planets that have rings in their orbit. The other three would include Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. The sixth planet in our solar system definitely has…

Europa is on of the most recognizable moons in our solar system. This moon is the sixth (6th) closest to Jupiter and the fourth (4th) smallest of the Galilean moons ("Moons of Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia," n.d.). When this moon was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, he decided to name it after Europa, meaning or daughter of the King of Tyre. Over the last forty (40) years, there have been multiple spacecraft that have raised speculation that Europa has internal convection due…

Throughout our lives we have been living off the energy source of fossil fuels, but what if there were other sources of energy besides the fuels? And what could they be? Well, there are many other methods of gathering energy. There is solar, hydrogen fuel cells, biofuel, geothermal and more. But today you’ll be reading about the pros and cons of fossil fuels, wind energy, and thermal energy, more precisely geothermal energy. As well as some fun facts listed in the below paragraphs. Enjoy.…

The next topic a student should be schooled in is cells and cellular biology. While cells are the building blocks of all living organism, scientists have confirmed that there are actually different types of cells depending on the organism. The two main classes of organisms are the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes. The prokaryotic is the simpler of the two and are the one-celled organisms such as bacteria and archaea. The interior of a prokaryotic cell consists of a main nucleoid, which contains…
