began in the late 1700’s after Bode’s Law was found. Bode’s Law consists of a numerical equation that helped astronomers locate each planet according to a specific sequence (Chavis‚ 2010). This equation led to the discovery of a gap between Mars and Jupiter where another planet should be located‚ but isn’t. Guiseppe Piazzi discovered the asteroid but thought it was a comet and later thought it was a planet and named it Ceres. However‚ another astronomer came to the realization that Ceres was too small

explosive population growth. Where are the 3 billion plus people supposed to go? The answer is space‚ to other planets‚ and 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

Destiny‚ the Gods‚ and Fate in the Aeneid Playwright Lucius Annaeus Seneca said that “Fate leads the willing‚ and drags along the reluctant‚” (Beautiful Quotes) and perhaps nowhere is this idea better illustrated than in Virgil’s epic poem The Aeneid.

Galileo was contributed a lot to us today because he had major discoveries in math‚ astronomy‚ physics and engineering. Even though he had an unideal childhood‚ Galileo went to college at the University of Pisa. He also began teaching at the age of 17. In 1568 he invented the hydrostatic balance. this is used to measure the “specific gravity” of a gemstone. This is something that people use today in gemology. He also gave private math lessons to children in florence and his college. In 1593‚ Galileo

Solar disruption theory was one of several theories that emerged before the 18th century concerning the formation of the solar system. Solar disruption theory states that the collision of the sun with another stars caused debris to be ejected from its mass and these debris eventually became the planets. This theory was later discarded for the nebula theory of solar system formation. However there are some scientists that propose that it has some merit. The big question up until the 18th century
