THE SOLAR SYSTEM T The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it‚ all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The vast majority of the system’s mass (well over 99%) is in the Sun. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic

As Team Leader of the Deep Freeze Folk‚ it was my responsibility to organize all of the research pooled together by my Technical Advisor and Systems Engineer and compile it into a presentation that was not only accurate and educational‚ but a little fun too. This is the last quarter of my undergraduate degree‚ and along with nearly six years in the Army Reserves and a ton of presentations under my belt‚ I have found that getting people to laugh helps foster attention and learning.

Why Aliens Do Not Exist There are several different meanings to the word “alien.” An alien could be a resident born or belonging to a different country‚ a foreigner‚ a person who has been excluded from something‚ or a creature from outer space (extraterrestrial). For this argument‚ a creature from outer space would be the appropriate definition. Many believe extraterrestrials do exist. Many even claim to have seen aircrafts belonging to these extraterrestrials. There have been thousands of

if it behaves like a planet‚ then it should be classified as a planet. I am going to talk about a past situation that had a big impact on the final decision in “kicking pluto out”. In 1801‚ a icyrocky body similar to Pluto was discovered between Jupiter and Mars named Ceres. A year later Ceres had its planethood revoked because it was very obvious that it really was just the largest member of what is now called the asteroid belt. If Ceres doesn’t get to be called a planet neither should pluto. They

Introduction: Searching for extra-solar planets is not a very easy task. Because most of the times we find them by not actually looking at them but by the effects they produce mainly on the star around which they are rotating. It is because planets look like just a dull spec of light through a telescope. The distance between us and a nearby planet is very large. In our scale model it will be like looking at a dust particle in Thunder Bay Ontario if we are sitting in Halifax with our telescope. That’s

Superior to Humans Extraterrestrial bodies are far more advanced than humans on Earth and are capable of exceptional feats on an everyday basis. In this research paper‚ I will be discussing the possibilities of extraterrestrial aliens in our solar system. I will describe the reasons to why extraterrestrial bodies have a far more advanced physical makeup as well as mental abilities that are out of the realm for any humans on Earth. I will explain the possible outcomes that might happen if aliens
