Science of Stars Nancy Vasquez SCI 151 September 23‚ 2012 Robert Austin Abstract When discussing the Solar System‚ the planets are what are mostly thought of. Many other objects orbit around the sky such as stars‚ asteroids and meteors. Stars have many properties of which will be discussed throughout this paper. Properties of Stars * Stars are determined by their brightness‚ distance‚ luminosity‚ radius‚ chemical composition and temperature (Strobel‚ 2007). * When determining

the first generations to see the planets of our solar system up close‚ and we have been able to view evolution of these planets through time. Our solar system consists of a middle aged star called the Sun‚ 9 planets‚ about 100 moons‚ thousands of asteroids‚ millions of icy bodies‚ and many comets revolving around all of it. We can begin by looking at the origin of the solar system. The protoplanet nebular model is the theory that is most widely accepted to describe the origin of the solar system

Question 6 The region of our solar system between Mercury and Mars has very few asteroids‚ while the region between Mars and Jupiter has many asteroids. Based on what you have learned‚ what is the most likely explanation for the lack of asteroids between Mercury and Mars? There were very few planetary leftovers in this region‚ because most of the solid material was accreted by the terrestrial planets as the

They only have 18 days before the asteroid destroys the earth. NASA devises a plan to insert a nuclear bomb 800 feet inside the asteroid‚ when detonated‚ will split the asteroid into two pieces that will safely fly past the Earth. Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) is asked by NASA to help because he is considered the best deep sea oil driller in the world. After

On 6 December 1997‚ a mile-wide asteroid was discovered by astronomer Jim Scotti‚ a member in the University of Arizona’s Spacewatch group. He used a 77-year-old telescope along with an electric camera that caught the asteroid on film. He then used a computer specially programmed to look for objects moving against the background of fixed stars. The computer worked so well that Scotti described the asteroid as "sticking out
