He measured how long it took the planets Jupiter and Mars to rotate‚ as well as discovering four moons of Saturn and the gap in the planet’s rings. When NASA launched a satellite to orbit Saturn and its moons in 1997‚ it was fittingly named Cassini. EDMOND HALLEY Halley was

It discussed the orbit of the planet Mars and stated: • Law of Ohm- the sun is located at one Foci(one of 2 centers of an ellipse) • Kepler’s first Law: The orbit of a planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun’s center of mass at one focus. • Kepler’s second Law: A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time. • Solved the problem of planetary motion by using Copernicus’s

Are Aliens Real? Is there life on other planets? This is a question many people have considered at least once in their lifetime. According to Neil deGrasse Tyson author of “The Search for Life in the Universe‚” all known cultures across all of the time have attempted to answer the question “are we alone?” According to Tyson‚ although Earth is the only known life in the universe there are many arguments that have been made that suggest that we are not alone (1) .

Beyond our earth there are unknown billions of miles of space that includes galaxies‚ solar systems and planets. Earth is 4.5 billion years old however the universe is 14 billion years old. The earliest forms of humans were documented to be on earth 200‚000 years ago. This time frame is microscopic compared to the time span of our universe. I believe that there is extraterrestrial life beyond our planet and that aliens have been to earth in the past. Many famous scientists‚ such as Stephen Hawking‚ Albert

For you see the story was about a crystal egg‚ now sold and lost‚ from which one could observe a vista of the planet Mars and the inhabitants thereof via an identical crystal egg atop a mast upon the planet Mars. His reply insisted that it had unlocked for him the secret of the crystal egg and that this explained many unusual scientific observances of late. Of these observances I knew nothing‚ having been kept

Earth is the 3rd Planet from the sun‚ as well as the 5th largest planet in our solar system. As far as humans know Earth is unique in the Solar System as being the only planet which is able to support life in all its forms: from basic micro-organisms to highly sophisticated human beings. There are many reasons why this happens. In this Research paper

A Manned Mission to Mars In the next few years‚ the United States plans to launch a manned spaceship to Mars to establish a human colony there. While some observers argue that such a mission is necessary for human knowledge to advance‚ others fear that the costs of such a mission are too high or that it may not even be possible with our present technology. Do you think this is a wise course of action or not? Write a letter to the President of the United States that expresses your opinion

understand the orbit for planet Mars. The orbit of Mars was particularly difficult because Copernicus had correctly placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System‚ but had erred in his assumption of circular planetary orbits. After numerous experiments and mathematical calculations‚ he finally realized the obits of the planets were in fact not circular as Aristotle had previously insisted and Copernicus assumed correct‚ but in fact were more elliptical in shape. The fact that Mars has the most elliptical
