Cassini's Moon Research Paper
This moon is within the gap of Saturn’s A ring. Cassini’s spacecraft from NASA flew about fifteen thousand miles to see a strange shape of Saturn’s moon. This is not the first time that this moon was encountered, Mark Showalter discovered Pan on July 16, 1990. They discovered it from passing through the Encke Gap. This moon orbits Saturn ever thirteen hours with a distance one hundred and thirty-four thousand kilometers. The reason why this Moon is being talked about right now is it is shaped like a wonderful eatable ravioli. The idea how the moon got this shape is the flange of ice around the bulge is crush into the moon. This moon has been watched over for many years but Cassini finally found the true shape.

    As the director and dramaturge for a fully mounted production of, Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron for a festival with a focus on Australian society I must select a relevant scene for an audience to promote the entire play. Ruby Moon was written in 2003 by Matt Cameron (1969), a Melbourne playwright who was heavily “influenced by headlines in the newspaper” regarding missing children which sparked many of his plot lines. His plays, in particular Ruby Moon, comment on the notion of a decimated community where there is no longer any communication between neighbours and how the suburbs are now deemed as unsafe and frightening. This is the paradox of Flaming Tree Grove, the street where Ruby Moon sets off to visit her grandmothers and is never seen again.…

    Objective: The objective of this experiment was to find out why the moon “shrinks” as it goes from its rising point on the horizon to its highest point in the night sky. The way I decided to test this was by standing in the same spot periodically throughout the night and had a ruler in my hand. I fully extended my arm so that I knew it was in the same spot in relation to my line of sight and then proceeded to measure the moon. I began my observations as the moon rose in the sky and after every hour I would return to the same spot to observe. If my observations are correct, it should prove my hypothesis to be true.…

    I am writing this letter because I believe that galileo’s heliocentric model is correct. And I am asking you to pardon galileo for his scientific writing on the heliocentric model of the solar system. I believe that the geocentric model is not right because the earth is not the center of the universe, but the heliocentric is because the sun is the center of the universe and I know that because I have been collecting shreds of evidence. Those pieces of evidence are the Copernican Revolution, Galileo’s evidence and that the sunspots the moon craters.…

    When Galileo first turned his telescope to the moon, he had no idea that he was about to see something that would cast doubt upon centuries-old beliefs. At the time of Galileo, science was based upon the teachings of Aristotle. According to Aristotle, the Earth was the center of the universe. All heavenly bodies, including the moon, were perfect spheres that moved around the Earth with circular motions or combinations of circular motions, and the Earth was the only source of imperfection in the universe. According to the moon truther, there are two reasons why he describes the moon as a hologram. The first piece of evidence of why he thinks the moon…

    There is only one way to rearrange the universe, and that is to believe that it can move. In the vast expanse of universal antiquities, the Earth is as young as it’s sciences. In a revolution of time and space, it takes a concern of Earth’s spinning axis to enlighten an entire scientific undertaking of what lies beyond it. Nicholas Copernicus was not apart of the Ptolemaic Theory that the world was geocentric, he was the man who put his word against it. As a man of God, Copernicus wraps up the world in a “just another planet” nature, by calculating with mathematics the Earth spins on a particular axis. He publishes, Concerning the Revolutions of the Celestial Bodies in 1543 and passes away from an illness before he is charged with heresy by Martin Luther and John Calvin. A person who would have been a martyr, if not for sickness, for the Scientific Revolution, Nicholas Copernicus is the first of the late Middle Ages to introduce an idea for science and not for the sake of religion.…
