The movie I watched was called The Core and was directed by Jon Amiel. Some of the main actors in this movie are, Dr. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart), scientists Dr. Serge Leveque (Tchéky Karyo), Dr. Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci), Dr. Ed Brazzelton (Delroy Lindo) and Rebecca (Hilary Swank). The main focus of this movie was to show what it would be like to travel to the core on a life saving mission. In this movie Dr. Josh Keyes notices that the Earth's inner core has stopped rotating. So Dr. Keyes…

hydrogen, 25% helium and approximately 1% methane. Its atmosphere also contains icy clouds and the fastest winds recorded in the solar system. Particles of icy methane and minor gases in the extremities of the atmosphere give Neptune its deep blue colour.” Even though Neptune is far from the sun it has winds that can reach up to 1500 mph. The fastest winds detected in the solar system.…

The purpose of the lab was to fully understand the Herztsprung-Russel diagram. We use this diagram to categorize stars with their stellar properties. By examining a star’s temperature, relative size, and luminosity for instance, you can plot them on an HR diagram. During the lab we did four different activities to understand the lab. The first was to look at a group of squares with different sizes, letters, color, and numbers. We categorized them based on color and then in order from smallest…

or not. Though no one has unearthed all the secrets of Earth, countless scientists, astronauts, and engineers yearn for the opportunity to watch an American citizen take their first steps on Mars. "NASA aims to extend human presence deeper into the solar system and to the surface of Mars," states a well-educated member of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA's Journey to Mars: Pioneering Next Steps in Space Exploration" [4]). However, would colonizing The Red Planet be a…

Young Earth Creationism is a theory that states that the universe, including Earth, is 6000-12000 years old and was created in six literal days (Mortenson, 2011). One of the main arguments for this theory is that there are many naturally occurring phenomena in the universe which show that YEC is the only viable theory. This argument was proposed by Dr. Russell Humphreys, an expert in YEC. One of these phenomena includes the spiral shape of the known galaxies. Humphreys suggests that the spiral…

supergiants are old, large stars. Red giants are usually orange and are about six hundred light years away from Earth. Blue Giants are hot, blue stars that burn helium. Supergiants are the largest type of known star, and are sometimes as big as our entire solar system. When they die, they supernova and turn into a black…

Is the coastal eroding? Yes, along with the power of the waves and wind the coast is eroding. The coast is not only eroding because of the water and wind, it’s also eroding because of human activity. The one activity that we do causing erosion is dredging; it’s when we get shipped to us. The ships cause waves to hit the coast. Is there any other planet that is habitable? NASA’s space telescope has found planets that could be the second “earth”. They found an earth sized planet orbiting the…

discusses some of the major findings on investigations of the universe. Much of the research relates to investigations in the laboratory relating to synthetic biology and how it can lead to better understanding of alien life in other planets outside the solar system. The most interesting idea is Sasselov’s claim that super-earths have better chances of harboring life than earth-sized planets. Personally, I have been interested in studies that relate to investigations about alien life. Sasselov…

Nasa has just discovered a planet like Earth known as Kepler-186f, named after the telescope that found it, the Kepler. This discovery raises the possibility that a large number of planets like earth are waiting to be found, maybe much closer to Earth. One astronomer says that this is a tip of the iceberg discovery! Another says that it is a historic discovery of an Earth-like planet in a perfect spot around its star. Nasa says that future missions will study whether which planets are life…

back some samples of the land, and search for the possibility of life in depth. It only takes them a few days to reach the Mars using the Electro Magnetic Drive enabled spacecraft. Unfortunately, right after they land on Mars, an unpredicted extreme solar wind and coronal mass ejection also arrive, breaking the engine, the communication system, and several other machines. The survival situation has begun: Before repairing all the electronics, they must fix the force field generating machine…
