To understand the Geology of Mars, or any other planet, it is necessary to have knowledge of formation of the Universe that lead to the assimilation of galaxies and all contained within them. This is essay will look at the beginning of the universe and the chemical reactions which led to the formation of stars, planets, moons, asteroid belts, comets and meteorites. Then, focusing on Mars, discuss the planets geological features and the instruments used to study them, from its inner core to upper…
understanding of the current physical characteristics of our solar system would help analyze its origin. Our solar system the place we all call home, lies about 26,000 light years from the sun, the center of our galaxy (The Milky Way). The story of how planets came…
developments of the telescope through the Hubble telescope are as followed: In 1946 the discovery began as Lyman Spitzer reported on some of the advantages of space observatories may be. In 1977, congress accepts funding for an oversized extra terrestrial telescope. Astronauts and people in the space field began their guidings for the telescope expeditions in 1978. Originally named the Large Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope was renamed after Edwin Powell Hubble who discovered that…
the possible future scenario where a rogue black hole comes into our solar system swallowing our sun and brings darkness to all of human kind. It will follow a group of survivors that were able to get off the planet in an attempt to get to the nearest star. Leaving behind a slowly dying planet. They are met with a number of challenges. The most pressing being the increasing emission in solar weather produced by the black hole’s accretion disk, they constantly need to fix the solar electric sail…
Humanity has an inherent drive for superior understanding of our Solar system and to find environment similar to that of planet Earth which could contain life. As consequence, there have been several space missions to analyse climate, assess data and search for geological evidences of life. With net expenditure of approximately three billion dollars, the Cassini-Huygens space mission to Saturn system was a joint assignment among finest space agencies; National Aeronautics and Space…
Americans are not far behind. The mission is to establish an oxygen rich environment on the surface of mars in small scale to test the possibilities of large-scale migration to Mars. The Russians lose contact with their craft after one day on the planet and the Americans hear of the tragedy and start to wonder as to what their fate will be. They are instructed to look for survivors when they arrive and what they find is more than they could have ever dreamed. The story will be based upon the…
The universe is like a game of chance. Of the billions of planets out there, Earth is the only known planet to sustain life. What would life be like on a different planet? Would humans even exist? Would bugs rule the planet? The possible outcomes are endless. The Firefly Galaxy is a spiral galaxy far from the Milky Way Galaxy that contains a solar system, the Phoenix Solar System, favorable for life. In the Phoenix Solar System is the planet Bibea. Bibea is able to sustain life because of its…
The exoplanet Kepler-47 b was found in 2012 using transit method. It is the inner planet in an arrangement of 2 planets orbiting around Kepler-47system, located in the constellation of Cygnus in 4892 light years from the Sun. [7]. It is the smallest planet of the two present in system. Despite being the smallest circumbinary planet detected to this date, the inner planet, Kepler-47 b still has a radius of 3.0±0.1 Earth radii. In addition, too small to be measured directly, has been determined…
An exoplanet is described as a planet that orbits a star outside our solar system. The majority of the exoplanets scientists have discovered were found in the past two decades, mainly with the Kepler space telescope. These planets are all different in orbit, size, and type. Some are smaller than Jupiter, or even larger than Jupiter, but essentially all of the exoplanets that we know of a larger than the Earth. Scientists have even found planets that orbit two stars, as opposed to the normal one.…
from the place of abduction. Are aliens real? If so then what do they want with us? Aliens are a mystery that only time and evidence can solve. Let me describe my experience when I recall getting abducted. As I got home from work, I saw a star or planet disappearing and reappearing but it also looked like a plane as the object got lower. I feared that it would be a UFO since there have been 6 sighting and 4 abductions in our area outside the city. I entered the house and sat down on my couch…
