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…

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without not knowing what time or day it is, that's would've been crazy but luckily we won't be dealing with with that we will be remembering events, always being on time, never having to miss someone’s birthday, because it all comes to the useful, convenient calendar that has been introduced to the world, millions of years ago and still utilized now Numerous people today don’t focus when and how calendars were first created. The evolution of…

Space Exploration is the imagination of many coming to life. It is exploring our many surroundings and increasing our knowledge of the universe. Its helps us better understand how our universe works, which in turn helps us better understand earth! Why do we spend so much money on finding out what is surrounding us, when earth isn’t safe nor completely explored. This is what I don’t understand. In source A, David Livingston states that “the manned space exploration is absolutely worth the cost.”…

in in Roman mythology, which is the equivalent of the Greek god Poseidon. Some people actually venerate these gods in a ceremony called Lectisternium, and offered food to gods and goddesses. Neptune is also the fourth biggest planet in our solar system. Its mass is about 1.0247e26 kg. The planet takes about 165 years to orbit around the sun for the very reason of it is so outlying. But strangely enough, to rotate on its own axis it only takes 15-16 hours. This is because Neptune…

for short-lived comets. However, that anomaly was not the sole phenomenon the Kuiper Belt and its contents helped explain. The Kuiper Belt’s primordial origins have established it as one of the most helpful tools to aid in learning more about the solar system’s beginning. Its existence debunks the original theory of the belt’s formation, consequently given way to the conjecture predicting a shuffling of the planets resulting in their current placement. Gravitational fields of Kuiper Belt Objects…

Mars has an unforgiving and dangerous environment, which is why it’s not safe to send someone there. It’s not impossible to send someone to Mars, it’s that we’re not ready or prepared to send someone there yet. The program Mars One will send four unlucky people to Mars in the year 2022, and it would be a terrible idea to sign up. Many things could go wrong, including all of the low oxygen and cosmic radiation, running out of fuel and food, and the fact that Mars One is a one way trip!…

Neon is the 10th element on the periodic table. It was discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in 1898 (Mowat 130). It has 10 protons, 10 neutrons, and 10 electrons. Neon has no stable compounds because it is a noble gas. However, there are three stable isotopes, the most abundant being neon-20 (90.5%). It has no color, odor, or taste. It changes from a gas to a liquid at -245.92°C and from a liquid to a solid at -248.6°C (Chemical Elements). It is found in the sun and the…

ASTROPHYSICS Methods used to search for extrasolar planets Lucky Ruangsiri 24.02.2016 Extrasolar planets are planets that revolves another star apart from our solar system. The human race has found nearly 2000 confirmed extrasolar planets by the year 2016, and this has fuelled the search for extra-terrestrial life as we scour the universe for anything out there. How do we discover these planets that are light years away from the earth? An extrasolar planet detection technique is the…

As the green movement continues to win converts, more and more Americans are considering energy efficiency when building or buying a home.

Astronomy was made 30,000 years ago by people who looked at the things in our sky.There work paved the road for our projects today. Celestial phenomena attracted the attention of our ancestors and how they dealt with what was seen was called archaeoastronomy. Archaeoastronomers try to figure out what the ancient people studied, how they studied them, and what they learned. By exploring the ancient astronomy, we hope to learn more about those civilizations. In 1992 a crater under the Yucatan…
