used as fuel. The 100% energy release of annihilation gives off a lot of power. If an effective way of containing the antimatter to use as fuel was found, travel time could be greatly reduced. “If we use antimatter as fuel, we could get to the nearest star in only two years” (RealLifeLore). This could have a huge impact on how scientists discover planets. Although they cannot do this now, they are learning about antimatter a lot and now know how to store…

The United States of America has been at war since 2001. The two campaigns are known as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraq Freedom. Since the beginning, there has been over 1.5 million troops deployed to the region (Savitsky, Illingsworth, & Dulaney, 2009). It does not matter what the job is, the chances that a soldier will experience a form of trauma is almost guaranteed. It was no different for Lieutenant Commander Heidi Kraft. In her book, Rule Number Two: Lessons I Learned in…

look up to the sky and see millions of stars, and I wonder to myself. What makes them light up so bright, and what makes them a star? What does it take to create a star; they just don’t pop out and shine bright. I want to know the process, and how long it takes for a star to be born. I am also curious to know if the star can die. I plan on finding the answer. I believe that they are created by gases and that they die when they use up all of their gases. Stars have had an impact in our society…

There are many theories for how life started on earth. After reading many theories, I found the Lighting and Panspermia theory the most interesting. These two theories made the most sense to me even though they don’t have much in common. The Lighting theory is the idea of chemicals from earth’s early atmosphere working together with chemicals and lighting from erupting volcanoes in order to create the first life on earth. The second theory is the Panspermia theory, the idea that earth’s first…

Astronomy in Yosemite The Sun The sun is a star located at the center of the universe, and without it, there would be no life on Earth. It is the most important source of energy for humans as it provides us light, heat, and more. It can reach surface temperatures of about 5,276 degrees Celsius, and 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit. The composition of the Sun changes slowly as hydrogen is converted into helium in its core; however, it is currently made up of around 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, and less…

Nuclear Fusion and the Remains of a Dead Star Throughout the history of Earth, multicellular organisms rely on one thing, the sun. And throughout the observable universe, there are million of stars out there just like our sun. These stars could be different however, with either more mass, volume, heat, etc. In our high school career, we learn a lot about astronomy, such as the order of the planets in our solar system. We also learn about gravity, rotation of planets, and how long it takes…

beings can feel true joy without first experiencing sadness with his use of stars throughout his poetry to signify a light in the dark. Neruda uses a star motif to indicate a positive feeling or outlook surrounded by the harsh darkness of negativity. Neruda suggests that there can only be light if there is also darkness and the emotional highs and lows in life must ultimately balance out. In his poems, Neruda uses the motif of stars to portray positive emotions in contrast to the negative…

land on the moon. This shows that if we had not done those Apollo missions, we might of still have not landed on the moon and still be trying to explore space from Earth. Another example is, the hubble space telescope takes pictures every day of, stars, planets, and even, black holes. This shows that eventually we will get a picture of a planet that we can colonize on. My third example is, satellites have helped us find new discoveries of Earth and they are also used for electronic maps. This…

previously obtained through viewing and researching the film and also gain new answers to the list of questions we were required to address in our film paper. Something I found to be one of the most important ideas we discussion was the presence of the Star of David in the film. Esther treasured a necklace that was given to her by her family; strung onto this necklace was a beautiful crystal. Even though it was not mentioned in any of the historical documents my group members and I viewed, this…

history of the world. This means Primeval nebula means a cloud of gas and dust in outer space a long time ago. It was how people think the galaxy was created. This is saying that the universe was always there. The galaxy was created. Then all the stars and planets were created. They were all made from small clouds of dust and gas in space. The nebular hypothesis is the most widely used theory for the formation of the Solar System. It suggests that the Solar System was formed of nebulous…
