Scientists and astronomers are always trying to find out more and more about the outside world. The rings of Saturn are one phenomenon that astronomers are continuing to study. Just recently, it was revealed that these scientists who were studying these rings came to a few surprising theories. THEORY NUMBER 1 ON THE SATURN RINGS It has been concluded by astronomers that the more opacity that something has doesn't mean that it has more mass. They came to this conclusion while studying the rings…

THE MARINER PROGRAM Mariner 4 flew by Mars in July 1965 This was followed by Mariner 6 and 7 in 1969.The images sent back showed what appeared to be a geologically dead world. There was an abundance of craters much like the moon. It was also from these spacecraft that we learned that Mars' polar caps were made of Carbon Dioxide ice instead of water ice. In 1971, Mariner 9 flew by Mars and mapped the entire planet down to 1 km. These images brought a wealth of information and it soon become clear…

In the past 15 years, astronomers have achieved leaps and bounds in terms of spotting exoplanets. It had gone from producing no results to being possible. One method, known as Transit, involves continually observing stars and noting whenever spots of it become dimmer. By calculating how much of the star’s light was dimmed, astronomers can also indicate the approximate size of the planet’s radius. It can also tell astronomers what the atmosphere of an exoplanet consists of by looking at the light…

away from Mars. As Phobos orbits Mars, a tidal bulge is created and moves along the surface of Mars as the moon rotates around the planet. Phobos only takes seven hours and thirty-nine minutes to rotate around Mars, and is one of the 18 moons in the solar system that has an orbit time faster than its planet. Since its orbital…

TRAPPIST-1 twice as old as our close planetary system 0 BY/ON 13 AUGUST 2017 SCIENCE Aug. 11 — Astronomers have limited in on a more exact gauge of the TRAPPIST-1 framework. Researchers trust the star and its exoplanets are in the vicinity of 5.4 and 9.8 billion years of age — as much as twice as old as our close planetary system. The sun was conceived 4.5 billion years back. In February, NASA declared the disclosure of seven Earth-sized planets circling TRAPPIST-1, a ultra-cool smaller…

The solar nebular hypothesis describes the formation of our solar system from a nebula cloud made from a collection of dust and gas. It is believed that the sun, planets, moons, and asteroids were formed around the same time around 4.5 billion years ago from a nebula. 2. Planets move around…

There are many legends/stories surrounding the discovery of Saturn. According to mythology, the Assyrians were the first people to record sightings of Saturn. They spotted Saturn as a bright light and named it the Star of Ninib, in honor of the Assyrian sun god of springtime. Later the Greeks and Romans had their own ideas of this strange wandering planet. The Greeks named it Cronus, ruler of the Titans. The Romans later changed the planet’s name to Saturn. Both cultures identified Saturn as the…

Mars’ Secret The vermilion terrain that the rover had wandered over in its short life was the planet Mars. MER-D Gypsy, the 2014 NASA Mars Rover, rolled over its cold sands, then turned its spherical, cycloptic head and looked over the trench before it. The camera on its orbicular crown began snapping photos almost immediately. It was beautiful, a rich, orange coloured valley that seemed bottomless. Markings and natural carvings into the scarlet flesh of the planet showed that water had once…
