White dwarf

happen if the earth did not tilt on its axis? Why is it that important that the earth is tilted on its axis? What is the angle of inclination of the earth on its axis? In the solar systems there are asteroids meteors and comets.As of 2008 there are 5 dwarf planets Pluto,Ceres,Eris,Makemake and haumea.For thousands of years humans did not know of the qalaxy they only thought the earth was the center of the universe.The outer planets also known as the gas giants are much larger mostley made out of…

Modeling Periodic Phenomena: The Orbit of Mars Introduction Billions of years old, Mars is the 4th planet from the sun in our solar system and the last of the terrestrial planets before the asteroid belt. The planet neighbors Earth and has seen a plethora of exploration craft from our planet. Mars orbits around the Sun on an ellipse, as dictated by Kepler’s laws (which state that all orbits are ellipses). Mars’ elliptical shape is a lot less circular than Earth, due to its high orbital…

The exoplanet Kepler-47 b was found in 2012 using transit method. It is the inner planet in an arrangement of 2 planets orbiting around Kepler-47system, located in the constellation of Cygnus in 4892 light years from the Sun. [7]. It is the smallest planet of the two present in system. Despite being the smallest circumbinary planet detected to this date, the inner planet, Kepler-47 b still has a radius of 3.0±0.1 Earth radii. In addition, too small to be measured directly, has been determined…

Is Pluto a planet? This is the question many astronomers are debating. Pluto used to be considered a planet but back in 2006, it was taken of its title and was considered a dwarf planet. Many astronomers believe Pluto is a planet, and many believe it is not. This is a modern day debate for astronomers. Pluto was first discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona. Pluto is a very, very, very cold planet and is believed to be covered with ice. The…

Fig. 11: Residuals in the osculating orbital elements of Nereid for long time interval. The semi-major axis is given in km, eccentricity in radians and the rest of elements are in degree (Saad & Kinoshita 2001). Vashkov’yak and Teslenko (2010) in addition to the effects of the mother planet Neptune, they considered the influence of the attraction of the internal satellite Triton on the evolution of the orbit of the external satellite Nereid. The disturbing function of Triton is…

Did you ever what wanted to know is there someone or something that not even on the planets.That what the John.F.Kennedy wanted beside beating the U.S.S.R to the moon.Kennedy provide good reasoning but he didn't say all of the reason of why exploring space is more important then exploring the ocean.Yet exploring the ocean can be interesting to finding cures for diseases but exploring space can also find cures for disease, But yet space can also be a place were cures can be from tiny rocks or…

Astronomers from the International Astronomical Union (IAU), an organization that functions as an international consensus marker in astronomy, were assigned the task of voting on the definition of planets. Some have criticized that this discussion amongst scientists was not without political and non-scientific emotions or nostalgia. One rendition of the definition would have kept Pluto as a planet and included Eris and Ceres, boosting the number of planets to twelve. Still another recommendation…

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. The first ever sighting of Uranus was in 1680 by John Flamsteed, he categorized it as 34 Tauri, he thought it to be a star or comet. It wasn't until William Herschel and John Elert Bode…

When examining "Snow White" from an Archetypal perspective, it becomes clear that this fairytale symbolizes curiosity, death, and freedom. These main topics are specifically shown through the use of animals. When analyzing the symbols, many come into affect. The three animals that visited Snow White’s coffin could represent many different things. The order that the animals arrived in is the base of the pattern for this fairytale. When the owl visits, it could symbolize the need for knowledge…
