    are visibly darker, cooler areas on the sun. A little over 200 years later (in 1843), amateur German astronomer Samuel Heinrich Schwabe discovered that there is a cyclical, eleven, and by extension to a full cycle, twenty-two year pattern to the variation of sunspot counts known as the sunspot cycle. In 1848, Swiss astronomer Rudolf Wolf devised the following algorithm for making consistent counts of sunspots. [R=10g+f] Where “g” is the number of groups of sunspots and “f” is the number of…

    3. Tasks In order to get answers to the Mission questions, Euclid will measure the geometry , expansion rate and structure growth in the Universe as a function of redshift. This map, spanning 3/4 of the lifetime of the Universe will complement the single snapshot at z ≈1100 made by WMAP and Planck. By combining the use of Redshift measurements (4.1), Weak gravitational lensing (4.2) and Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (4.3), both Dark Energy (DE) and Dark Matter(DM) will be investigated in the…

The moon we see only orbits around Earth. As the moon orbits our planet, we see that the shape of the moon changes throughout each month. This is because the amount of light that the sun that illuminates the moon changes monthly. These are called the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon are the changes in amount of moon…

    He used his learning to find out what way comets were facing and he found out the moon has gravity which controls the tide and the exact time the time changes. That proved the sun was in the middle of our solar system this is also known as "heliocentric model." Him finding out gravity came to him over time. All of this information backs up the facts of our next topic Earth. Isaac Newton predicted that Earth is probably a sphere flush at magnetic poles. which…

    Vistas’ path around the sun. Because of this dawn was able to catch up to Vesta and very slowly get pulled into Vestas’ gravitational pull. This was the first-time ion engines were used to send a spacecraft to orbit around a distant object in our solar system. Folger lets us know that in the beginning NASA canceled the Dawn mission because of how expensive it would be to support the mission and additionally they were concerned with the technical problems that could occur to the novel propulsion…

    Stars have been mystery for quite a while in history, but Bethe's work made certain conclusions about the nuclear reactions that are possible in star, and how much energy comes from these reactions. The main goal is to measure which reactions are favored to accurately predict how stars emit energy. Also it must be proven that heavy elements are not likely to be formed by calculating probabilities of Nuclear reaction based on favored energy. The most favorable reactions in stars include the…
