The discovery of the Trappist system helps build upon the fact of we are not alone in the universe. Trappist-1 includes a sun slightly larger than jupiter and seven orbiting planets‚ Most planets have sizes and masses comparable to the earth‚ and the size of the system is from mercury to mars. Trappist is located about 39 light-years away. It’s speculated that The planets of trappist are such a short

Galileo Galilei Group #3 Section: ME 333-A Dr. Bednarz Justin Weaver - Geometric Military Compass Alec Brown - Pendulum Clock Hamad Alkandari - Telescope Abdulmajeed Almutairi - Thermoscope Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist‚ mathematician‚ astronomer‚ and philosopher. Born on February 15‚ 1564‚ Galileo was most known for his feats in astronomy and in advancing the scientific revolution of the 16th century. He was a big supporter of Copernican theory which states the sun is the center

dense than water. Saturn spins faster than any other planet except Jupiter‚ completing a rotation roughly every 10 and half hours. The rapid spinning causes Saturn to bulge at its equator and flatten at its poles making it the flattest of the planets. The planet is 13‚000 km wider at its equator than between the poles. In Roman mythology Saturn was the father of Jupiter‚ King of the gods. This is interesting because Saturn and Jupiter are similar in so many respects‚ including size and composition

The mission plan for Voyager 1 and 2 was to look at all the gas giants in the solar system they called this plan the grand tour‚ the planets include were Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ and Neptune. Voyager 1 was the first spacecraft ever to take detailed pictures of the moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Voyager 2 is a very special space craft due to the fact that it vistited all 4 gas giants via a very special geometric arragement of the planets in which only happens every 176 years

This means that‚ even though the pattern is difficult to distinquish‚ Uranus is striped‚ just like Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus has 21 fascinating moons and a complicated ring system. The ring system is a completely different form of ring system than that found at Saturn or Jupiter. At Uranus there is even a very obvious partial ring‚ or "ring

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

Mercury – Mercury is named after the messenger of the Roman gods. It is the smallest of the inner planets and the second smallest in the whole Solar System. It has a very weak magnetic field and – being the closest planet

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer who provided many scientific insights that paved the way for later scientists. His explorations of the laws of motion and improvement of the telescope helped him further understand the universe and world around him. The two caused him to dispute the then current beliefs at the time that all things in the heavens revolved around the Earth. Galileo made history with his observations of the heavens. In 1610‚ he wrote a book revealing his observations‚ Sindereus
