Affleck and the rest of the gang from Armageddon. This rag-tag group of individuals has about one month to stop an asteroid from obliterating planet Earth. No‚ this is not a sequel to one of the best movies of our generation‚ but an actual possibility. NASA has had its eyes on an impending asteroid for quite some time. If it’s anything to actually worry about is still up for debate. ASTEROID SEEN BY NASA YEARS AGO. THEY SAY DON’T WORRY. While all of us were partying 2013 away‚ NASA was busy doing what

might sound ridiculous‚ but who knows? It might just happen in the near future. There are lots of theories on how the world could end‚ but for me‚ I think that the world could end because of an asteroid impact‚ a global war‚ or a zombie apocalypse. My first guess is the world could end because of an asteroid impact. According to the 20 Ways the World Could End Swept Away by Corey S. Powell‚ there was a 200-foot-wide comet fragment that hit the Earth before. That’s a huge size if you ask me. I’m not

Meteors are formed in two ways. Many come from asteroids. Others come from comets. Asteroids are large chunks of space rock. They are also called minor planets. Some meteoroids are the size of a piece of sand. Some can be as big as a house! Comets almost totally melt away after many orbits. But dust and grains from

Le bonheur est un choix Peut-être que c’est un bonheur plus réel NARRATIVE OUTLINE Why Do People Smoke? Generally and psychologically‚ people starting smoking because they are curious or influenced by friends or family. For example‚ in Taiwan‚ friends will ask each other to smoke as a gesture of friendship while at a party. This is one reason why the number of young smokers has rapidly increased in Taiwan.

RAJ GOREKAR- AKASH SHINDE- DEEP MAYEKAR- MEHUL MEWADA- SUMMARY: It is the year 2020 and man has mastered the art of asteroid colonization. Several scientists have their private labs located on asteroids located in earth’s orbit to study the space with minimum atmospheric interference. Many miners mine the asteroids for metals iron and nickel to earn their living. The asteroids are pulled into orbit by using small but electromagnetic devices. Scene 1 [ In the lab scientists are working. Two crews

The centaurs‚ which orbit between Jupiter and Neptune‚ were named after the mythical half-horse‚ half-human creatures called centaurs due to their dual nature.

MINOR MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM ASTEROIDS Asteroids are small rocky bodies that have been likened to “flying mountains.” The largest‚ Ceres‚ is about 1000 kilometers in diameter‚ but most are only about 1 kilometer across. The smallest asteroids are assumed to be no larger than grains of sand. Most asteroids lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They have orbital periods of three to six years. Some asteroids have very eccentric orbits and travel very close to the sun‚ and a few larger

Scientist’s inability to foresee near Earth objects poses an extremely large threat to large populations and humanity. Since the beginning of time‚ asteroids have been floating around the solar system aimlessly; a network of satellites that can track them down may one day save the human race.

possibly even other galaxies. A large possibility that is already being weakly implemented today is asteroid mining. Just past Jupiter‚ there is a very large and possibly profitable asteroid belt. Some of these asteroids contain large amounts of silicone‚ which will bring the price of solar power down for earth if it can be effectively shuttled from the asteroid belt to earth. Some of these asteroids also contain both Gold and Platinum‚ both of which are very important for todays technology. (Kaufman)
