Venus Williams

Introduction The Venera Soviet missions consisted of several space probes sent to Venus (University of Oregon). Venera 13 and 14 were part of the 1981 Venus launch opportunity (University of Oregon). Venera 13 and 14 were built identically the same and they launched 5 days apart (Ivankov, NASA Archive). Venera 14 was the last lander within the Venera series. The Soviet Academy of Sciences (U.S.S.R) funded the Venera 14 mission (Ivankov, NASA Archive). The launch site was located at Tyuratam…

There are many mysteries the universe holds for us such as new galaxies, planets believed to have atmospheres with the possibilities of life, or even dwarf planets being discovered every day. I chose to write about the dwarf planet Ceres, according to Elizabeth Howell, (Space.com Contributor), “it was first discovered by Sicilian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi on Jan. 1, 1801, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the closest dwarf planet to Earth.” [1] I took a huge interest in finding out…

The old miller in the tales of the Chaucer 's tale is not the only one with a very critical perspective of marriage. In fact in the Tale of the Wife of Bath has a complete different outlook compare to the miller. In the prologue of the Tale of the Wife of Bath, she gives an autobiography of how she stumped those foolish men as a self -justification for her behavior. She states in the beginning of the tale: "Experience, though no authority Were in this world, would be enough for me To speak of…

I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…

Three people with three ideas, and a whole bunch of time between them. Beginning with Ptolemy and his claim that the earth was must be the center of the solar system based on basic evidence that the stars in the sky seemed to rotate around the earth. Including the sun that rose in the east and set in the west every day. Theis model of the solar system was widely accepted as fact for over 2,000 years and was later named the geocentric model. Two scientists that came later on changed the world's…

Primack (2013) led a study that shows the effects of warming temperatures on winning times in the Boston Marathon. He and his three co-authors, Dr. Abe Miller Rushing, Dr. Nathan Phillips and Dr. Robert Kaufmann, examined the timing of the Boston Marathon runners from the years 1933 to 2004. They found that when warmer temperatures and headwinds occurred the day of the race, the runners were indeed slowed down. The reasoning for this research was to further their focus on climate change from…

I have decided to write a response paper to Jamie Schultz’s: “Reading the Catsuit: Serena Williams and the Production of Blackness at the 2002 U.S. Open.” I really enjoyed reading her journal and all the opinions regarding Serena William’s infamous catsuit. Although there are some negative opinions regarding Williams’ choice of outfit and the way she presents herself, but she has challenged the normative white identity in women’s tennis. She has pushed the boundaries not only in tennis, but also…
