Now she spends four months in the underworld and the rest on…

their close position to the Sun. Appearing to be a nice golden color, the pictures we see of Venus is actually showing the clouds that are filled with sulfuric acid, making its atmosphere cloudy and dense. A year on Venus last 225 Earth days and a day lasts 243 Earth days. This means that it takes longer for Venus to spin on its axis, than it does for it to orbit the Sun. Another interesting thing about Venus is that its orbit is most nearly circular than any other planet, at a speed of 108,…

experience is unique and dynamic, particularly for those of us who have journeyed far from our homes to establish new lives in foreign countries. “I’ve stopped thinking of myself as an immigrant”. Years fly by while we dream of going somewhere far away, spending hours zooming in and out of Google Earth, looking at the different places on Earth. “One day I head that I’m going to Australia, now, do I feel happy for having a great opportunity or do I feel sad for the homesickness that I know I…

in space. Their mission was to land on the moon and explore a hill called Fra Mauro. They were to gather samples of the moon’s sandy dirt and 4-billion-year-old rocks. It would take a total of four days to get to their destination. It was April 13th, 1970, the three astronauts only needed one more day to get started with their mission. Everything seemed as normal as a baby crying when it’s born, that was until there was a loud bang that made the spacecraft moan and shudder! At first, the three…

Katherine Johnson was born in 1918 in West Virginia, and she began showing a great deal of intelligence at a young age. She went on to begin high school at the age 10, when most African-American schooling stopped at age 10. Johnson graduated high school at the age 14. After high school she attended West Virginia State College. As a student, Johnson took every math course the college offered, and graduated with degrees in math and French at the age 18. In 1938, Johnson became the first African…

Moon, and twelve men set foot on its surface. Humans haven’t been back to Earth’s only natural satellite in 44 years. Think of the advances in technology that have happened between then and now. NASA doesn’t even have their own spacecraft these days, if they send someone to the International Space Station, the astronauts have to hitch a ride on a Russian craft. The Saturn V rocket that took men to the Moon in 1969 is still the largest to ever launch. What happened in the last 44 years that…

fact that it is in the middle of said habitable zone. Another reason of interest is the mere 20 light-years of distance from earth. This makes Gliese a relatively close planet from home. Its composition is not fully known yet but experts suggest that Gliese might sustain liquid water on its surface and…

Have you ever thought of who created the flowers beauty? Have you ever stopped and looked at the sun setting and see the marvelous colors presented in the sky? Have you ever wondered who creates beautiful pictures like that everyday? Have you ever stopped to think about who makes the sun rise and set, day after day? In my day to day life, I think about these things all the time. Let 's take a butterfly for as an example. A butterfly isn 't a butterfly…

Our move to Mars would certainly have a great effect on the population on both the planets Earth and Mars. The population of Earth would firstly be affected by those who go to colonize Mars and secondly by any other restrictions put upon them to ensure the survival of the Mars colony. The population of Mars would be affected by the initial colony arrival and affected more with the growth of the colony over time. As the colony on Mars goes on the population on Mars will likely rise and the…

Problem two, mars has no water and no sources of food. Problem three, how does he make back to earth alive? Years before his arrival on mars there was an unmanned mission called “Pathfinder”. This mission was a complete disaster, but that mishap saved mark. Once he finds pathfinder, he is then able to retrieve communication parts from it and put together a communication device to contact earth. Mark knows the recipe for water its just hydrogen and oxygen put screwing around with hydrogen is not…
