Solar eclipse

The Moon it the closest planetary object in space to Earth . It has many phases that we study in our modern day science. We know there are 8 phases that are different and similar. The phases of the Moon are made from the shadow the Earth creates on the Moon. The Moon's phases are the way the Earth casts a shadow over the Moon. It creates different places that the Moon has light. Like in a first quarter only half the the Moon has a shadow.The other side has light because the earth isn't…

life-sustaining necessity. It is also the center of space and solar weather, which powers and affects much of the solar system’s activities and life on Earth. Space weather goes hand in hand with the Sun’s constant gaseous activities, which depend on the Sun’s natural occurrences. This paper discusses the important topics of solar plasma, solar wind, as well as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. It also looks at human abilities to capture and use solar wind energy to further space…

The Sun is a massive, white ball of gas that fuels the solar system. Without it, life wouldn’t be able to survive on earth. It has lived for billions of years, providing energy and light. Nothing can live without it. The Sun, which is also called Sol, is estimated to be 4.6 billion years old with up to five billion years left in its life. It is currently in its yellow dwarf phase of life. It is located in the Milky Way galaxy in a spiral arm known as the Orion Arm. The Sun orbits the center of…

founded Greenwich Observatory and discovered over three thousand stars. In the beginning, Flamsteed was struck with a disease, crippling rheumatoid, that forced him to leave school and study astronomy on his own. Flamsteed was fascinated by the solar eclipse, which brought the creativity of making his own instruments that he could use to measure. Finally reaching Cambridge College in 1670, Flamsteed wrote a detailed paper on the sun’s approximated distance from Earth. The paper was only the…

Helium was discovered on the sun before it was found on the earth. In 1895, Pierre-Jules-César Janssen, a French astronomer and Norman Lockyer, an English astronomer both who discovered the element helium; found out about it while studying the solar eclipse where they found a yellow line surrounding the sun's spectrum. Lockyer named this substance helium. Helium is gas that has a very low density of 0.0001785kg/m3, which means it is lighter than air. It is mainly used in balloons and Zeppelins.…

in which children dress as Hogwarts characters and speak to volunteers dressed as dead astronomers. One thing everyone can be excited about is that on the 21st of next August, Columbia will be one of the best cities in the nation to view a total solar…

Solar Energy, the Superior Alternative Energy Fossil fuels are bad for our environment, and in an economy that is struggling, there is no point in pouring billions of dollars a year into an energy source that is killing our other resources. This kind of spending and reckless destruction of our environment will eventually have to stop. The question is, when burning burning fossil fuels ultimately ceases, where will we turn? There are many forms of alternative energy that are accessible to us…

let me provide you with some information about helium and its history Helium was first discovered in the sun and not the earth. In 1868, astronomer Pierre Janssen found this gas while watching the colors when the sun was going thru a full solar eclipse. Since the Greek word for sun is helios, he named the gas helium. It was not until 1895 that helium was discovered on earth by English physicist Sir William Ramsay. Helium is in the noble gas group in the periodic table.…

Planets of Front Solar System Mercury - Surface of Mercury is most similar to the lunar surface, and covered by many craters and basins, suggesting that the planet in the geological dormant for millions of years. The main relief shapes on Mercury are plateaus "moon-like", wrinkled ridges called the dorsum, mountain ranges, basins, canyons. The ground of Mercury has crumbled due to the impact of meteorites and soil erosion due to rapid daily variations in temperature. Overall…

Estimated back to about billions and millions of years ago, the moon was created. Many believe it all started when a mars-sized planet impacted the Earth. Afterwards caught in the Earth’s orbit and soon formed into what became the moon. Up till now, scientists now acknowledge theories of the moon, the moon’s environment, and plenty know the understandings and compositions of the moon. Currently, the moon isn’t as uncommonly unknown to us now, ever since a little over four hundred years ago. That…
