space exploration by successfully landing a man on the moon‚ which would serve as a gambit to conceivably lead the United States to victory. Before astronauts ventured beyond the earth‚ scientists had to assess the space environment and the hazards of human exploration. Soon after President John F. Kennedy assumed office in January of 1961‚ the space race was undoubtedly underway‚ and the United State’s primary focus was landing a man on the moon--hence‚ the Apollo Program. These Apollo Missions are

Cosmos – an alternative name for the universe Meridian – a half circle extending from your horizon (altitude 0) due south through your zenith to your horizon due north. Zenith – the point directly overhead‚ which has an altitude of 90 degrees. Latitude –The angular north-south distance between Earth’s equator and a location on Earth’s surface. Longitude – The angular east-west distance between the prime meridian (which passes through Greenwich) and a location on Earth’s surface. Speed – The

Introduction Eclipses can only occur when the Sun‚ Earth‚ and Moon are all in a straight line. Solar occur at new moon‚ when the Moon is between the Sun and Earth and in contrast‚ lunar eclipses occur at full moon‚ when Earth is between the Sun and Moon. The apparent size of the Moon is roughly the same as that of the Sun‚ with both being viewed at close to one-half a degree wide. The Sun is much larger than the Moon but it is the precise vastly greater distance that coincidentally gives

required for such supremacy was seen as necessary for national security‚ and symbolic of ideological superiority. The Space Race spawned pioneering efforts to launch artificial satellites‚ unmanned space probes of the Moon‚ Venus‚ and Mars‚ and human spaceflight in low Earth orbit and to the Moon. The competition began on August 2‚ 1955‚ when the Soviet Union responded to the US announcement four days earlier of intent to launch artificial satellites for the International Geophysical Year‚ by declaring

caused by the gravitational pulls of the sun and moon on the water in Earth’s oceans. Types of tides are classified by the position of the sun and moon. These tides are called spring tides and neap tides‚ and can be more extreme due to the perigee and apogee of the moon. Tides also follow a schedule which is directly related to Earth’s regular rotation‚ and the moon’s regular orbit (McConnell‚ et al). Spring tides occur when the gravity of the moon is combined with the gravity of the sun‚ and neap

Abstract Email to: worgenkid@yahoo.com (Ryan) Our research question states “Is the moon habitable by life forms?” which is us trying to see if life can live on the moon such as we do on Earth. Our hypothesis was that the Moon would not be able to inhabit life forms and our hypothesis was correct‚ we were able to show that the Moon was uninhabitable. We had taken a water bottle and filled it with water and sugar‚ then we put yeast in it and got as much air out as possible to give it the

The Yellow Wallpaper The Yellow Wallpaper uses symbols to show the hardship that women had to endure to fight oppression. By showing these hardships‚ we gain the knowledge that we don’t always make the right decisions. We believe that we are giving people freedom when in turn we are oppressing them even more. Gilman uses symbols throughout her story in a variety of ways. In The Yellow Wallpaper Gillman uses the house to symbolize a body. The speaker describes the outside as “beautiful and delicious

So‚ did the moon landings take place? Of course they did‚ would the U.S government embezzle millions of the tax payer’s dollars? In fact don’t answer that. Well let’s get the ball rolling. Firstly we know that the Soviet Union was monitoring the Apollo missions from the moment they took off until the waves had calmed from the command module splash down. The Russians had high powered radar stations which were used to track the Apollo missions on their voyage to the moon. What does this tell
