Saturn’s rings‚ originally observed by Galileo in the 1600s‚ have been marveled at for centuries as the mystery behind their formation increased. It was not until 1980 when Voyager 1 flew by Saturn that a well-developed and precise image of Saturn’s rings were collected. Saturn’s rings were discovered to be made up of billions of particles ranging from the size of a grain of sand to the size of boulders. The rings‚ consisting of remains from rocky asteroids and icy comets‚ are about one kilometer

This might sound cool and interesting‚ but wait there’s a catch‚ the astronauts never come back. thats right‚ when the launch to Mars takes place in 2025 there’s no turning back. When you go to Mars‚ you stay there and die there. For example‚ Mars one also dosn’t have enough money for this event. As the astronauts can see‚ the trip to Mars is very risky for many reasons.

This essay is of a woman astronomer Caroline Herschel. Herschel was the first lady to discover a comet. The reason why I chose this topic is because apart from being a women astronomer she also showed her prominence in mathematics. She hailed from a musician background but her fortune brought her to the field of astronomy and today we stand witnessing vital discoveries such as of comets‚ which is a very significant topic of research in this modern era. She has been recognized and honored worldwide

am about to write on is "Dark They Were And Golden-Eyed" by Ray Bradbury‚ which follows the lives of Earth people stranded on Mars during the war on their own planet. This is not a stereotypical science-fiction story due to the uniqueness of the Martian theme. At first‚ a family of five (the Bittering family) are the only people on the planet‚ but are soon joined by many others. The chilling story begins with Harry Bittering’s thoughts: "The wind blew as if at any instant it would draw his soul

The Orion Nebula contains one of the brightest star clusters in the night sky. With a magnitude of 4‚ this nebula is easily visible from the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months. It is surprising‚ therefore‚ that this region was not documented until 1610 by a French lawyer named Nicholas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc. On March 4‚ 1769‚ Charles Messier inducted the Orion Nebula‚ M42‚ into his list of stellar objects. Then‚ in 1771‚ Messier released his list of objects for its first publication
