Sun Wukong

stating that, “ …the orbits of the planets around the sun were not circular, but elliptical, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse rather than at the center.” According to the Ptolemaic Theory and Aristotle, the planets moved in the most perfect circular and uniform motion. However, Johannes Kepler argued that the planets do not orbit in circles, but in ellipses. His second law demonstrated that the speed of a planet is greater when closer to the sun and decreases the farther it is from it.…

Astronomy was made 30,000 years ago by people who looked at the things in our sky.There work paved the road for our projects today. Celestial phenomena attracted the attention of our ancestors and how they dealt with what was seen was called archaeoastronomy. Archaeoastronomers try to figure out what the ancient people studied, how they studied them, and what they learned. By exploring the ancient astronomy, we hope to learn more about those civilizations. In 1992 a crater under the Yucatan…

Museum Overview for the Minneapolis Institute of Art Before registering for this class, I reviewed the course description and saw that there was a field trip to the museum and was immediately excited. Although I have visited the Minneapolis Institute of Art before, it was over twenty years ago and I don’t remember much from that visit. From this class, I felt I was well prepared as what to expect, museum etiquette and what I needed to do while I was there to gather information needed to…

I decided to research discovery and exploration and William Herschel's discovery of Uranus. I had a lot of fun researching this. William Herschel was an organist for part of his life, and when he settled in England, he decided to expand his interests in music. One particular author of music theory, Professor Robert Smith, also wrote an article on optics and telescopes, and this is what inspired Herschel to adopt a love for astronomy. Most professional astronomers of his day focused on…

In The Stranger, Camus uniquely uses the sun by portraying the sun as a symbol for feelings and emotions which Meursault cannot control. The sun becomes an amplifier for feelings of anxiety and passiveness which Meursault feels because of the environment in which he lives in. Relating to the death of the Arab, the sun shows a direct influence to Meursault’s actions and impel him to act on inclination and draw his gun on the Arab. Camus uses the sun to present a barrier between Meursault and the…

As the sun lowered over the horizon, the atmosphere transformed into a stellar display of reds. oranges, yellows, and even purples. The incoming night air swept over everyone, goosebumps forming on skin as the sun fell down for the day. Not a star could be seen, nor a hint of blue, for the entirety of the hemisphere was bright and vivid. This was a perfect night, it seemed, for a rocket launch. Standing on the bridge, I gazed over at the still water far below, mesmerized by its reflections, as…

twinkling lights, also known as stars. Stars are one of the most popular astronomical objects and represents the building blocks of galaxies. A star is defined as a vast ball of gas held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to earth is the Sun. Similar to a living organism, stars have a life cycle in which they are born, they develop and grow, and eventually die. Stars begin as a vast cloud interstellar dust (mostly carbon or silicon) and hydrogen gas floating around in space. This…

For years, astronomers have debated if Pluto is a planet or not. Pluto has been taken off the list of planets, and has now been classified as a Dwarf Planet. According to IAU.org, “A dwarf planet is classified as an object in orbit around the Sun that is large enough to have its own gravity pull itself into a round shape... A dwarf planet may also orbit in a zone that has many other objects in it.” Pluto now falls into the dwarf planet category because of its size and because it is in a zone of…

straight scattered lines for the reflection. I used curved lines for the birds wing. I used vertical lines on the bottom of the paining to represent fence posts. I used horizontal lines for the fence wire. Shape: I used a half of circle to show the sun setting. I used circles for the center of the palm…
