needed help, someone will give us a helping hand when we need it. So I use that way of thinking at all times and at all places. I always try to help as many people as I can and most times I offer the help without being asked. The reason I believe things work this way and that the idea of helping others actually works was because of what happened to me a while back. One day in the winter time as I was making my way back home from school, after soccer practice when I saw a little…

The greeks called it the “milky circle” because of the myth. The greek myth is that…

Discovery of Uranus William Herschel had a few motivations that led to his discovery of Uranus. However, “[he] spent most nights observing nebulae, looking for double stars, and searching for signs of life on other worlds.” (Ruskin 282) He basically discovered Uranus by accident supposing at first that it was a comet. After sharing his find with other astronomers, they questioned whether it was a comet at all. One astronomer named Nevil Maskelyne “suggested that [it] might be a planet” but it…

Even if there are alien civilizations in other galaxies, there's no way we'll ever gain knowledge of their existence. This is because, everything outside the Local Group is pretty much out of our reach forever, due to the expansion of the universe. So even if we developped incredibly fast spaceships, it would literally take billions of years to reach these places. So, let's focus on the Milky Way. The Milky Way is our home galaxy. It consists of up the four hundred billion stars. That's…

While the Universe has been around for roughly 13.82 billion years, everyday we learn more and more about the complexities that were once hidden from us. One of the main things…
