system that was first observed in 1610 by the astronomer Galileo Galilei. Saturn is a gas giant and is composed of similar gasses including hydrogen, helium and methane. Saturn can be seen with the naked eye. It is the fifth brightest object in the solar system.Saturn was known to the ancients, including the Babylonians and Far Eastern observers. Saturn is the flattest planet. Its polar diameter is 90% of its equatorial diameter, this is due to its low density and fast rotation. Saturn…
The Coloverses In London, England, a UFO crashlanded right in the middle of the road. A black and green, monkey-sized alien came out with an entire group of them behind it. These were called Coloverses. Unknown to mankind, these aliens were capable of spitting venom. The Coloverses were planning an apocalypse on planet Earth and wouldn’t stop until they had done it. On Earth, four scientists were at work. Their names were Max, Dan, Harry, and Clint. “C’mon, guys! It’s getting late,” Harry said,…
The moon has been seen as far back as 1610. The moon is a third of Earth and has no proven life on it. The moon is also the only other place beyond Earth where people have step foot on. The moon is thought to have formed after a mars size planet hit Earth. Size and Distance The moon is less than a third of the Earth. The radius of the moon is 1,079.6 miles. The moon is farther away from the Earth than people think. It is an average of 238,855 miles away. An example is 30 Earths could fit…
The idea that Mars could be hospitable to human life is still under question, however the question of water on Mars is indubitably unambiguous. And with the new breaking scientific news, the long lasting question of water on Mars has finally been answered. “New findings from NASA’S Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars( Liquid Water para 1)”. According to this new theory, empirical data from NASA shows…
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…
removed from the planet list and was classified as a dwarf plant. This not only changed countless textbooks across the globe, it has removed a little piece from the hearts of all that learned and loved the last little guy in line; far, far across the solar system. “Smaller than the Earth’s moon, Pluto was discovered in 1930 and was considered the ninth planet. A girl in Britain, then 11 years old is credited with naming Pluto after the Roman god of the underworld.” (Plant No More) This…
Try to imagine for a little while that you live in a world without a lot of air. Breathable, inhalable air. Imagine whatever scenario you like; a radiated wasteland, an underwater research facility, a futuristic space ship, a groundbreaking colony on Mars. In this world, imagine that fresh air is both a scarcity and a commodity. Here it is treated like an item, a material good to be bought and sold as if it were an object. An item that with every tick of your heartbeat you need more of to…
volcanic active in our Solar System, Europa, which is covered in frozen water, which could be covering a slushy, liquid ocean of water, Ganymede, this moon is actually larger than Mercury, and happens to be the only moon in the Solar System that generates a magnetic field on its own, and Callisto, whose surface has some small craters which show indications of recent geologic activity, but is mostly heavily cratered, some of which may have occurred shortly after the creation of the Solar System.…
of microwaves, radio waves and x-rays. One interesting phenomenon caused by the Sun is its solar winds. These winds are composed of energized particles that are given off by the Sun. The energy that is then produced from these stellar winds do their part in providing warmth for Earth, and it even has an impact on the weather. If it were not for the Earth’s defined atmosphere, the Sun’s radiation and solar winds could cause potential harm to all life forms. As mentioned before, the process that…
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…
