The Planets

For years, astronomers have debated if Pluto is a planet or not. Pluto has been taken off the list of planets, and has now been classified as a Dwarf Planet. According to IAU.org, “A dwarf planet is classified as an object in orbit around the Sun that is large enough to have its own gravity pull itself into a round shape... A dwarf planet may also orbit in a zone that has many other objects in it.” Pluto now falls into the dwarf planet category because of its size and because it is in a zone of…

Have you ever seen hundreds of people die for you so you can save your own? I’m Alexander Savage, I’m from the Chione (Key-own-nee) colony on the ice planet in the Apollo Solar System. You might think an ice planet would be harsh to live in, but it was home to us. My homeland is no longer intact because of the company that destroyed it. The ice planet was rich with a mineral that is called “Life Crystal” which is found under the surface. It helped cure many diseases, stop poison, and could stop…

Some claim the object is a tower of some kind. Whatever it may be, it looks to be burning. Thick, black smoke surroundings the object. Of course, the space agency remains silent on the matter as the fear it will disrupt their plans to visit the red planet soon. NASA CAN'T DENY SUDDEN UPTICK IN…

Since Mars is the only terrestrial planet whose surface can be directly observed in detail from the Earth with help from a telescope, it has been studied by Earth-based instruments since as early as the seventeenth century. However it is just since the exploration of Mars started in the mid-1960s that close-range observation has been conceivable. Flyby and orbital shuttles have provided information from above, while direct estimations of atmospheric conditions have been given by various…

Dynamic Planet is an amazing branch of science. From oceanography, to currents, to plate tectonics, all of the subtleties of the dynamic planet are unique in their own ways. Our Earth, itself, is a dynamic planet. The planet contains over one thousand volcanoes, forty thousand earthquakes, and almost two hundred impact craters. All of these features come from the Earth constantly being in motion. The Earth has powerful forces that are caused by nature. Most of which can’t be seen but felt…

Are the Aliens Avoiding Our Planet? In 1950, the physicist Enrico Fermi asked a crucial question during one lunch at the National Laboratory of Los Angeles. According to the number of galaxies, planets and starts that we know, it is very probable that extraterrestrial life exists. So, where is it? This question, known as the Fermi’s paradox, is very logical when the size of our universe is taken into consideration. Even though there are many hypothesis trying to find the answer of this…

Planets and moons within the solar system are different in terms of composition, geologic activity, interior structure, magnetic field, and atmospheres. We can deduce each of these properties through routine astronomical observations, spectroscopic/remote observations, laws of physics, solar system modeling as well as direct sampling. Given that many economists and government officials object to using our resources to visit other objects physically, by studying our solar system we will continue…

The name, what it is and means discovery The planet is named Venus which came from a Roman goddess of love and beauty. As the Roman goddess of love , according to the sources the goddess Venus was born fully from the sea. Her father was Uranus made with Saturn, they believed that when blood fell into the sea mixed with foam which created Venus. She was known for her love and beauty and had many men lovers. Venus has on temple called Venus Gentrix (Venus the Mother) which is in Captoline…

bodies referred to as “protoplanets,” that later became the planets we all know these days. no matter was left when the planets shaped became comets or asteroids, strewn concerning everywhere the system. when a hundred million years, the big ball of gas at the middle of this whirling mass cloud hot and exploded during a vast activity. This reaction gave birth to the sun we all know these days. This sun has enough energy to supply for 9 planets, and simply the proper mixture of plenty and orbits…

Dwarf planets are considered to be those mass’s in space which are neither planet nor natural satellite. More explicitly, they are a mass which, unlike a moon, orbit around the sun, and due to the pull and force of their self-gravity are of a sufficient mass that they form an almost rounded spherical shape however they are not of a sufficient size to gravitationally clear the neighbourhood around their orbit. (Williams, M) In comparison the definition of a planet, as defined by the…
