Solar eclipse

“All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction story about a girl who struggles with living on Venus and is different from everyone else. In the beginning, all the kids on Venus were pressed against the window. The kids are waiting for the sun to come out. Soon, the kids go and put Margot into a closet. The kids on Venus finally get to see the sun. In the end, a girl starts crying because it starts raining. Then finally the kids on Venus come inside and then they remember Margot in…

states needed to start build up more and more grids to maintain these electricity. One best example is California. As the article described, California is one of those states which took the first step to use more renewable energy such as wind and solar energy. It is not difficult to see the good side of using these renewable energy: the emission of California went down dramatically over these years. However the down side of these renewable sources is also pretty clear,…

have been a part of our solar system ever since its formation billion of years ago. Asteroids have a distinct formation, which gives each one its own physical characteristics that help researchers to classify these asteroids, and sometimes, depending on the size, they are given a name at the time they are discovered. Asteroids can also have a huge impact on Earth; some are capable of even causing a global disaster. Asteroids are said to be leftover particles from when the solar system was…

In this paper, I will be discussing the businessman and investor, Marcus Lemonis. I will start at his humble beginnings and work up to his successful career today. I will also briefly cover his introduction to the world of entrepreneurship, awards he’s received and appearances he’s made in television series. Marcus Lemonis was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1973 (Strohm, 2016). Nine months after his birth Lemonis was adopted by a Miami couple. (marcuslemonis.com, 2017). At the age of 12 Lemonis…

Our NASA team is proposing an exploratory mission to the planet Pluto. Although the planet is very far away we have reason to believe that with the technology to get there and set up a base. We have done extensive research on this planet and strongly recommend that this mission is approved and carried out. One reason that this mission is essential to the development of NASA and the human race is the physical features of the land. Pluto is cold, but has 30% water ice and 70% rock material.…

Krugman speaks of solar power in the United States and it’s rise above fossil power in his New York Times op-ed, “Here Comes the Sun.” Is solar power really better than fossil power? Even though solar energy has a variety of benefits such as being abundant, environmentally friendly and also is declining in cost, it still has a few issues. One case of these issues is implementing that solar energy into the US electrical grid. According to the article “Green energy and Green power”, solar energy…

In the TEDTalk video, Let’s Not Use Mars as a Backup Planet by Lucianne Walkowicz, she makes use of several rhetorical devices such as: parallelism, imagery, simile, and metaphor in order to further her claim that is, people should take responsibility of the Earth rather than spending valuable time on making Mars a possible planet for people to move in, which will take hundred of years. Walkowicz makes use of parallelism to highlight the comparison between Earth and Mars. For instance, “though…

The universe is always expanding and there are many things that can be discovered in the universe. Scientists always find new things in the universe and as always everything is very far away. One thing that close to our solar system, but still far away is the star Proxima Centauri. This star is the closest star but is 4.25 light years away from the sun. This means that the nearest thing is also the farthest thing. This paper will help answer some questions about Proxima Centauri that people may…

759.2 miles. This planet also has a very unique tilt of 97.77 degrees, making it seem to rotate on its side while orbiting around the sun. Therefore, making life on the planet impossible, because this unique tilt causes the harshest seasons in the solar system, making the sun directly shine over the poles while the other side remains in complete darkness for 21 years. Uranus is one of two planets that also features an opposite rotation and each rotation last approximately 17 hours and takes 84…

around the sun once every 29.4 Earth years, or 10,755.7 Earth days. Its poles are tilted 29 degrees relative to the orbit around the sun. Winds closer to Saturn’s equator blow east at 1,100 miles per hour, making Saturn the windiest planet in the solar system (of known planets). Temperatures at Saturn’s cloud tops are -218 F. Its volume is 764 times of earth, but only 95 times more massive. It has rings around the planet made of rocks, ice, and debree. Saturn’s atmosphere is mostly composed…
