1. Searching for potential life on exoplanets Despite the rapid improvement in technology the past few years‚ the current technology is not capable of yielding a completely successful mission that would travel to other stars and search for habitable exoplanets. Fortunately‚ the number of solar systems and exoplanets discovered is increasing. Direct images received from those exoplanets have a very low resolution but provide plenty of useful information. This essay will examine how this information

Lines of Latitude are parallel to the equator. True Lines of longitude are parallel to the polar axis. True What is the approximate diameter of Earth at the equator? About 8‚000 miles “Time” can be used to calculate latitude. False Why is it difficult to produce a 2-dimensional map of the earth that will faithfully reproduce to entire earth surface without distortion? There is no way to produce such a map because of the shape of the earth. According to Oceanography‚ Which of the following was the

Moons of Saturn By Melinda Herron 11/29/2011 Moons of Saturn The moons of Saturn are a very interesting topic to research. Before beginning this amazing journey on the moons‚ first we must do a brief overview of the planet Saturn. Saturn is the sixth largest planet from the sun; it is very large and does not have very much water. This research paper will explore the different moons‚ the names‚ atmosphere‚ similarities and sizes of the moons. Saturn has 62 moons

There are many similarities between Birth of a galaxy and Silent Seven. In Birth of a galaxy‚ it uses geometric shapes. The planets/celestial bodies are created with the usage of geometric circles. In Silent Seven‚ it uses spheres to create the planets. Both art works illustrate space themed objects. They depict planets‚ stars‚ and or the earth. Each of them has similar colour properties. Birth of a galaxy uses a lot of blue and yellow to make the planets and empty space‚ and Silent Seven uses blue

Contrary to many people’s thoughts about seasons‚ summer is not due to the Earth being closer to the sun and vice versa for winter (these differences are extremely small). The Earth moves around the sun anti-clockwise in an elliptical orbit‚ with one revolution representing a year (365.256 days). To complete the orbit‚ Earth travels at an approximate speed of 67‚000 miles an hour. While we are orbiting around the Sun‚ we are also rotating around an imaginary axis of the earth‚ with one revolution

Solar Nebular Hypothesis The idea behind the Solar Nebular Hypothesis is that the solar system was condensed from an enormous cloud of hydrogen‚ helium‚ and a few other elements and rocks. Around five billion years this cloud of materials began to spin and contract together into a disk shape under their own gravitational forces. The particles started combined together‚ protoplanets‚ to eventually form planets. A great mass of the material eventually began to form together‚ protosun‚ and make

Science behind the Nebular Hypothesis Heather Smith PHY 104 John Ensworth July 3‚ 2011 Science is a broad subject for anyone because there is so much information that came from Science. Science is another way of looking at things‚ however; not all scientific information is accurate for much of it an educated guesses or theories. One scientific method that has been well known and questioned numerous times has been the formation of the sun and our planets. What is this method I am
