There are many artifacts the serve significance to the different communities in Station Eleven. But the two artifacts that stood out to me are The Museum of Civilization and the use of art throughout the novel. (Is this an ok thesis?) I see the Museum of Civilization as a big artifact in Station Eleven. Clark, stranded at the Severn City Airport, created this museum that held the remnants of the fallen world. It was seen as a safe place for many communities. The Traveling Symphony, for example,…

Saturn Saturn is one of the eight planets within our solar system; Nine, if you consider Pluto to be a planet. When we, as an average audience, look at the Saturn we automatically think that it’s that one planet with the the ring around it. Some people even assume that it’s the one and only planet with a ring about it. Those people would be wrong. Saturn is one of four planets that have rings in their orbit. The other three would include Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. The sixth planet in our…

Mary Rojas-Bueno 11/15/2017 Astr101 Uranus There are many planets out there in the vast expanse of space. There are eight planets in our solar system, barring pluto which is a dwarf planet and not an actual planet. I will be discussing the seventh planet of our solar system, the lovely ice giant Uranus.

hitchhiking and train jumping as a mode of transportation once he abandoned his car. Chris’ parents would not approve of these things. “Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An Extremist. An Aesthetic Voyager whose home is the road” (179), this quote demonstrates Chris’ lifestyle for two years. Chris did not adapt a modern lifestyle, he did what he wanted and relied on hitchhiking and train jumping for transportation. I would compare Andy…

The universe is always expanding and there are many things that can be discovered in the universe. Scientists always find new things in the universe and as always everything is very far away. One thing that close to our solar system, but still far away is the star Proxima Centauri. This star is the closest star but is 4.25 light years away from the sun. This means that the nearest thing is also the farthest thing. This paper will help answer some questions about Proxima Centauri that people may…

On both occasions, Galileo mistook Neptune for a fixed star when it appeared very close—in conjunction—to Jupiter in the night sky;[20] hence, he is not credited with Neptune's discovery. During the period of his first observation in December 1612, Neptune was stationary in the sky because it had just turned retrograde that very day. This apparent backward motion is created when the orbit of the Earth takes it past an outer planet. Since Neptune was only beginning its yearly retrograde cycle,…

When one looks at the pages of history, it is hard to do so outside the bias of one’s own time and cultural heritage. Due to the preponderance of Western society’s influence in the modern world, it is then unsurprising that the East’s dominance on the world’s stage for much of recorded history is overshadowed by the (relatively recent) European/Anglo dominance. Asia is a complex, rich, and multifaceted region to explore, and is especially enlightening to examine in the time leading up to the…
