Sun Wukong

1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was the first of six children born to Vincenzo Galilei. He was originally a mathematics and physics professor but he also believed in many theories like the Copernican theory that the earth and the planets revolved around the sun. On July, 1609, Galileo had learned about a telescope from Dutch eyeglass and soon right after had decided to develop one of his own. He would use a telescope and show it to merchants who saw its value to spot ships. He quickly started to…

“It will be useful to understand more about Gnaritus’ three suns for your daily lives. So, let me begin by summarizing the background information that we have already gone over near the beginning of this lecture series. The three suns of this solar system are stars, which contain mainly hydrogen gasses with a lesser amount of helium. Due to the intense force of gravity, the proximity of the hydrogen atoms in the center of these suns results in their nuclei fusing to form helium atoms. This…

The sun is the biggest producer of energy man has ever known. It is also just a normal sized star. Most of this energy is wasted however. On an average day the sun produces so much energy it would power everything we own for the rest of our lives. The solar rays produced from the sun are what can be used as an energy source (Locke, S.). Knowing this many people are harvesting this energy to produce power. This is why solar energy is becoming one of the most popular ways of producing energy.…

As people decided to sending human into deep space to explore unknown feature of the universe, the environment outside the earth is a big uncertainty with factors that we can’t fully understand yet. Besides the cost and the time we spend during long space travel, stay in the cold, vacuum universe would let astronauts experience different kind of radiation. These radiation may be some ionized particles as electromagnetic waves traveling with high speed and energy. They could come from nearby…

fiction published a short story called “Reason.” In the short story, it talked about a space station that collected energy from the sun to send to other planets by the usage of microwave beams. In the story there is a line that says, “"Our beams feed these worlds energy drawn from one of those huge incandescent globes that happens to be near us. We call that globe the Sun ... "This was the first glimpse of space solar power. Dr. Peter Glaser created the concept of Space solar power 40 years…

render them contumacious towards the higher mysteries” (33). Galileo argues that one of these simplifications was made in attributing earth as the center of the heavenly sphere. He writes, “It is sufficiently obvious that to attribute motion to the sun and rest the earth was…

Whitney Noonan Philosophy of Revolution 2/29/2016 At the beginning of the scientific era people were not only shocked but also spiritually threatened by the new discovery that the Sun was actually in the center not the Earth. The “new philosophy” (since there was no word for “science” at the time) is the Copernican revolution. In 1610 Galileo had published the world’s first scientific bestseller, The Starry Messenger. This revolutionary work argued that the heavens are not organized the way…

but also their desire to learn. In discussions of ignorance, one controversial topic was issued from Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”. On one hand, Plato argues ignorance is not bliss as there is more for us to see. On the other hand, the sight of the sun when going outside the cave for the first time in ages immensely startled the prisoners who were locked in the cave, blinding them temporarily. Others even maintain it was a good thing as they went back into the cave, to help…

Venus is also the only planet that is named for a female.” ("Venus, Second Planet from the Sun, Brightest Planet in Solar System." Space.com. Web. 30 Apr. 2014) Venus has fewer impact craters than any other planet. Also unlike most planets, Venus turns clockwise on its axis, as opposed to counter-clockwise. This is called retrograde rotation. It is said that this is because of their close position to the Sun. Appearing to be a nice golden color, the pictures we see of Venus is actually showing…
