Uranus is the seventh planet of our Solar System for which scientists have about information due to the distance from this planet and Earth (a minimum of 1.6 billion miles [51]). Up until recently, our ability to observe it from afar was near non-existent. This icy gas giant experiences periods of day and night which last for 42 Earth years due to its 110 degrees axis tilt [14]. Uranus is not as stormy as Jupiter or Saturn, but within the 'Spring' section of the plant, where both cold and warm…

The universe What is the universe? How big is it? What is all part of the universe? These may be questions that you probably wonder when you read something about a planet or learn from a science book. The universe is so big that it is hard for people to understand just how big it is. The meaning of the universe is all existing matter and space considered as a whole. (Davies, Luke. "How Big Is the Universe?" How Big Is the Universe? N.p., 5 Oct. 2015. Web. 09 May 2016. Website) How gigantic is…

In forming the hierarchy, I ranked characters in terms of mental power, emotional power, and physical power respectively. Characters with great strengths in multiple fields were arranged at the top while those with little power were left at the bottom. Fortuna, the goddess of luck and fortune, tops the hierarchy due to her vast effect on others. As a goddess, Fortuna is extremely powerful and influential over lives of others. She even gifts Theseus, a very successful conqueror, power, causing…

Under Copernicus’s influence, he came to prove the heliocentric theory with his telescopic observations, in particular, that of Venus. Through his telescope, he observed that Venus, like the Moon, also had phases; yet, these phases could only be explained if Venus was travelling around the Sun. This eventually allowed him to conclude that Venus was not circulating the Earth, but the Sun instead, leading him to use these observations to prove Copernicus’s Heliocentric Theory (Scherrer)…

Posts made on social media depict women as the more dominant gender in a relationship and ones who can take control and have their own power. This assumption though is far from the truth of society. Women are far from being seen as equal to men. Similarly to today’s views, the Romans also lowers the value of women whose purpose seem to be prizes to men, to be used sexually by men, and to be their spouses. In Ovid’s Metamorphoses, mortal women are portrayed as objects whose voices do not matter.…

Olympia, painted in 1863 by Edouard Manet, and The Coiffure, which Mary Cassatt created in 1891, illustrate inequalities in class and gender. As art used to be considered a field only for men, the male gaze was and is very commonly found in art.

Manet, in Olympia, and Cassatt, in most of her work, either invert the gaze or work to entirely remove it. In addition to showing women in a more positive…

A closer inspection of the differences of these three women is also…
