Still, the iconic signs remain. ‘Icons, which bear physical resemblances to what they represent, will be superior to symbols, which are purely arbitrary’ (Vakoch 697). Iconic signs were a part of some famous messages to extraterrestrials (e. g. the Voyager Golden Records and the Pioneer plaques). According to Charles William Morris, the icon…

like our sun had developed more than 4.5 billion years ago. It was a target even before Galileo had launched. Four spacecrafts had reached Jupiter before Galileo did; Voyager 1 and 2 as well as Pioneer 10 and 11 were those four spacecrafts but were unable to stay and it limited the information that the scientists had needed. It was from those spacecrafts that NASA decided to construct Galileo to discover more information on Jupiter and its moons. The journey to Jupiter itself was a hard one,…

Most people are taught that the natives were treated friendly when the Europeans came to explore, this is not the case. Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford and The General History of Virginia by John Smith are novels of settlers and native relations. In both John Smith and William Bradford's texts, the men show themselves as heroes and the natives as lesser by denigrating their language, tricking them with contracts, and, having negative expectations. The Pilgrims, like the settlers at…

Le Verrier. The reason for Neptune being -10 degrees is because it’s eight planets away from the sun. A way to describe Neptunes physical features is “Neptune has an incredibly thick atmosphere comprised of 74% hydrogen, 25% helium and approximately 1% methane. Its atmosphere also contains icy clouds and the fastest winds recorded in the solar system. Particles of icy methane and minor gases in the extremities of the atmosphere give Neptune its deep blue colour.” Even though Neptune is far…

gravitational pull. This means that this force had a huge impact on the formation of our solar system and other solar systems in our galaxy and in the universe. First of all, a phet simulation showed us this. When mass 1=50 kg and mass 2=200 kg, the gravitational pull was 41712 E-7 Newtons. When mass 1 increased to 150 kg and mass 2 stayed the same. The gravitational pull increased 125856 E-6 Newtons. This shows that when the mass increases, this directly affects the force of gravity and this…

Galileo Probe INTRODUCTION The Galileo Probe was an entry into the atmosphere which was carried out by the Galileo spacecraft to the heavenly body, Jupiter. The probe entered the hot spot and then returned to the earth with useful information of space. The probe was 747 lb. And it was built by Hughes Aircraft Company at the plant in California called El Segundo (Russell, 2012). It measured about 1.4 meters across. The probe was devised in a way that it could sustain high temperatures…

the stratosphere, where temperature increases with altitude. The boundary between the two, the tropopause, occurs at a pressure of 0.1 bars (10 kPa).[13] The stratosphere then gives way to the thermosphere at a pressure lower than 10−5 to 10−4 microbars (1 to 10 Pa).[13] The thermosphere gradually transitions to the…

An important part of teaching someone about your culture and worldview is showing them where you come from and how that has affected you. The three items I would choose to represent these aspects of me would be a lei, a photo of my mother’s house in Laos, and a photograph of Pale Blue Dot. These three items provide a mixture of my personal history as well as an accurate depiction of who I am as a person. The lei represents my upbringing in Hawaii as well as my admiration of the Hawaiian…

of the Origin and History of Colored People” was originally published in 1841 by James W Pennington. The author of the forthcoming chapters, has aimed to state facts, points, and arguments, simply, rather than to go extensively into them (Pennington, 1). It is an unassuming effort so to coordinate these, as to unembarrassed the origination, and to demonstrate the relative position of the minorities in the distinctive periods among the diverse countries. The first moment the author has is…
