to discover just what the origin of comets is while understanding just what the relationship between comets and the interstellar material they disburse during flight of which is considered by many is regarded by many, to be the origin of the entire Solar System. “Stardust ,”will be the first spacecraft to witness, at close proximity, how a comet changes as it approaches the increasing intensity of the Sun’s radiation. The comet’s atmosphere was expected at this time to go in a coma state and…

For our lab presentations, Natalie Lutz and I chose to research other planetary systems. We knew this was a topic that would lightly be discussed in class and therefore decided we could educate our peers further on the topic. It offered a look into the different types of ways planetary systems are discovered and the different ones that have already been discovered. Extrasolar planets are defined as planets rotating around other stars- or remnants of stars. This is comparable to our planet…

The Tysons decision provoked many strong responses from visitors. The visitors insisted that Pluto had returned. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union followed Tyson's lead and Pluto was officially labeled as a dwarf planet. Currently The Solar System only eight planets. To this day Tyson is considered to be the man who “killed” Pluto. In 2014, Tyson was the host and was the executive editor of a hit 13-episode television series entitled COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey. Tyson is also is…

Humanity has an inherent drive for superior understanding of our Solar system and to find environment similar to that of planet Earth which could contain life. As consequence, there have been several space missions to analyse climate, assess data and search for geological evidences of life. With net expenditure of approximately three billion dollars, the Cassini-Huygens space mission to Saturn system was a joint assignment among finest space agencies; National Aeronautics and Space…

Margot’s initial exclusion from the other students may speak to difficulties of integrating people into a new society. In the short story “All Summer In a Day” (Short Story) Margot struggles to fit in with the other children every day, as she does not get along with them due to her birth on Earth. The children, and in particular William, hold power over her due to her differences. With Margot being frail and mismatched, she is easy to take advantage of and, therefore, William exercises his…

The most famous celestial bond, except for the rings of Saturn, is the Ring Nebula or also known as M57. The Ring Nebula is 2,000 light years away and as seen on Earth the nebula looks like a donut-like ring wrapped around the middle of a football shaped cloud of glowing gas. It’s about one light year across and the glowing light the Ring Nebula produces is not coming from the planets but rather from the hot central star ionizes atoms in the gas forming intense ultraviolent light. As seen…

When he was in the under world he appeared as a man with the head of a ram. Ra was often considered to be the King of Gods and one of the central gods of the Egyptian Patheon. They also said he was the creator of everything. The Egyptians built solar temples in honor of the King Ra. The temple did not have a statue of Ra, the sunlight was the statue. The Egyptians believed that the Sun…

Planet eating stars and giant aliens living in space doesn’t sound that appealing. Why would anyone want to go up there? Astronauts are almost addicted to space missions. Most say it was the most memorable moment in their lives. If they are fit enough to go back into space, most will stop at nothing to make it happen. So what is so amazing about space? Aliens. In the last sequence phase of a star, they grow several hundred times larger. So large that any planet near a giant red star will be…

Mars is said to be completely desolate. No life except for maybe bacteria. There’s no water on mars. There is an atmosphere but it’s very thin, and the soil isn't farm able whatsoever. How would one, even live on a planet like this? The red planet is very far away. The trip alone to get to mars, at the right time of the year, takes at least nine months. Astronauts would have to be stuck in a large vehicle, like, space. That only one of the issues. These astronauts that are in a tiny spacecraft…
