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 exponential growth of Earth’s population will likely shrink. The Mars colony is planned to have some slightly different population growth strategies than others. To begin with, my colony will have little to no growth in the first five years of it’s time on Mars. This is to allow…

with forces and motion, which includes engines and machines. A renowned television show host who is known for his love for science is also a mechanical engineer. Bill Nye, “The Science Guy” as most people known him by, enrolled in Cornell University where he obtained his mechanical engineering degree. One of “The Science Guy” major science achievement is his collaboration in creating the Marsdial. However, unlike a sundial which tells time, the Marsdial tells colors of rocks based on the color…

gnomon and it's shadow thus allowing the astrolabe to be used for terrestrial observations and surveying purposes (Heidarzadeh 2015, p. 1920). Islamic astronomers also constructed non-standard retes that represent the northern and southern halves of the ecliptic symmetrically (Smith 2008, p. 247). The 10th century Persian astrolabe created by Ahamad and Muhammad the sons of Ibrahim in 984/5 or 1003/4 AD will be used as the main example here. It is 5 3/16 inches in diameter and is 1/8 inches…
