The Apollo Missions were launched by NASA between 1961 and 1975. The missions collected much scientific data that helped us understand more about space and especially the moon. In many of the manned and unmanned missions collected many rock samples. In this certain study they found that the moon had many magma rocks on the moon. This fact surprised many scientists because space is very cold (as we all know) and magma rocks are formed from extreme heat or pressure. The magma rocks were only found

My time at Saturn has been an overall‚ fascinating experience. I’m not exactly on the planet‚ since it lacks a solid surface‚ but I still learned a lot about it from a certain distance. Saturn rotates quickly‚ contributing to its high wind speeds. In addition to this‚ the heat from the planet’s interior makes its rings visible. Saturn’s atmosphere is similar to the sun’s‚ mostly containing hydrogen and helium. One of the planet’s most notable features is its rings. They can be seen from a very far

Salviati’s thesis in the excerpts of Galileo Galilei’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems‚ the second day‚ states that all motion is relative‚ and diurnal motion is simply relative to the earth‚ with an emphasis on Copernican heliocentrism.

In the 1990’s‚ Mafic Mound was found on the south pole of the Moon. Although volcano-like‚ it was formed by a different process. Two different theories have been hypothesized. The first theory is that the South Pole-Aitken Impact caused “a cauldron of melted rock as much as 30 miles deep” (American Geophysical Union‚ Brown University) to form. This melted rock crystallized and shrunk; the middle portion of the rock (still molten) squeezed out onto the moon’s surface‚ creating a mound. Another possible
