After the first orbit (year)‚ turn off the traces (show traces box) and watch another orbit (year) of the purple planet (body 2). Question One: Is blue moon (body 3) circling the yellow sun (body 1) or the purple planet (body 2)? Explain your answer. Using the trojan asteroids setting it looks like all 3 bodys are orbiting the

Copernicus revolution. It is called this because his work completely changed how people saw the universe and the earths place within it. People’s view of the earth went from a stationary focal point in the universe to a planet that orbits the sun: from the center of everything to just another planet that orbits the sun. Although it took a while people eventually accepted his research and findings as the new truth about the earth and the

Later in his career‚ Fredrick discovered two of Uranus’s moons‚ as well as two moons around the planet Saturn. In addition‚ he was also the first to suggest that nebulae consist of stars. With the new discovery of the planet Uranus‚ the solar system had just grown bigger introducing many new possibilities of space observation. Even though at the beginning‚ Fredrick did not have the tools to explore the universe

scientists have suggested that the planet Kepler-62f might be habitable for life. If that’s so‚ it could open up a legion of other theories suggesting life exists on other systems surrounding Earth. Judging by NASA’s history with lying‚ they very well could have known about aliens for years. Let’s hope they’re not dangerous.

NASA has identified many planets outside our solar system. According to the article “Out of this world‚” the organization has discovered over twelve hundred thousand exoplanets throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. The TedX video “Are we Alone” explained that there are millions of planets in our universe. Astronomers discovered these planets by measuring the brightness of distant stars over time. Moreover they measured the brightness using advanced telescopes such as the Kepler. If the brightness fluctuates
