observatory appointed her to a group called “Pickering’s Women” to aide in the completion of the Henry Draper Catalogue of stars (Wikipedia). In this time period, women solely dealt with data and calculations and did not have the privilege to manage telescopes like men.…

Observations of Nova Centauri 2013 made using telescopes at ESO's La Silla Observatroy, and near Santiago in Chile, help to explain the mystery of why many young stars seem to have more of this chemical element than expected. This new finding fills in a long-missing piece in the puzzle representing our…

One way to measure a civilization’s technological capability is to assess its ability to collect, store, and utilize energy. Since the first industrial revolution, a process spurred forward by the ability to harness coal as an energy resource, humanity has undergone massive technological advances that have transformed nearly every aspect of human life. The continued advancement of human society is reliant upon the ability to harness more and more energy, but at some point our energy demand will…

WASHINGTON: Scientists have surprisingly built up an approach to decide the vicinity of solid attractive fields profound inside using so as to throb goliath stars a procedure like medicinal ultrasound. Attractive fields have critical results in all phases of stellar advancement, from a star's arrangement to its destruction. Presently, surprisingly, astrophysicists have the capacity to decide the vicinity of solid attractive fields profound inside throbbing goliath stars. Analysts utilized…

Editor in Chief USA Today Online Columnist and Editor, Rand Simberg Dear Editor: Re: “Challenger lesson still unlearned after 30 years– Running a space airline to orbit, the moon or even Mars isn't the right job for government.” January 26, 2016 USA Today Opinion Column. I wish to provide a different perspective from the military community with regard to a recent editorial about the role government has in the space industry. The author Rand Simberg, expressed his opinion that with…

quickly proven wrong when he tries to communicate with him he quickly picks up the words to have a very basic conversation using the numbers and basics words like bad, rock, (see page five for more information.) Jarvis also found out tweel people use telescopes because he placed the moon on the third planet not the second planet. (See page five for more.) after he sees this he…

Exploring the Moon’s Extreme Environment The Moon is our closest cosmic neighbour, and humans have been exploring it’s surface since we first developed telescopes. Though it can be fun to explore, it is far away, very expensive to go there and it is a very hard place to survive at. Different countries have sent probes that intend to crash to the moon’s surface but capture some photos of the surface before the impact. This was the first way to get scientific information about the moon,…

problem in outer space too. Tons of “space junk”are in orbit around the planet. There are more than 22,000 pieces of junk in space around the earth according to BBC news. And these are just the items that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes or radars. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see. Bits of old space rockets or satellites move around the planet at very high speeds. They are so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites…

The scientific revolution was so revolutionary because it was the transition from using political and religious principles to science and reason to explain natural experiences/events. Because religion became less enforced/important after the Protestant Reformation, people lost faith in the Church’s reasoning and explanations of the world, so scholars and philosophers, such as Descartes, Galileo, and Bacon, started to perform experiments and use logic and reason to explain the world. Before this…

He ended up proving Copernicus’ heliocentric universe theory to be true, and using his own improved telescope, he discovered a pockmarked, imperfect moon. It was this discovery under which the Medieval idea of a perfect, finite universe fell apart. Though these statements by these scientists helped shape our world views significantly today, the one that…
