made laws of planetary motion and if he didn’t make those discoveries we wouldn’t be where we are today with our space explorations. His first law was the law of ellipses; the main law is that all planets revolve around the sun in an ellipse with the sun at one of the two foci points. Explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil‚ two tacks‚ a string‚ a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper

opinion because there could be so many things or planets that we aren’t seeing because it hasn’t been discovered yet. Another reason I think the Martian’s story concept is believable simply because it showed that they were going inside of Mars‚ which is known as the Red planet‚ however in the process one was left behind. Typically‚ from what I know most astronauts tend to go to the Moon not Mars. However‚ I think that it is possible to go to a planet‚ get left behind‚ and one having to figure how

The story “Dark they were‚ and Golden-Eyed” by Ray Bradbury was a great story about people from Earth arriving on Mars to have a brighter future. There was also the audio play produced by Mcdonough.

achieved some of the goals but not all. Through our space probes we were able to find new planets stars and even galaxies. Space exploration should continue because it could help solve many problems on Earth‚ such as overpopulation and lack of resources. There are many reasons that space exploration should continue. If Earth ever becomes too overpopulated or over polluted‚ then perhaps people can move to Mars. But not everyone agrees on the same thing but I believe that we should and should not spent

Specifically‚ it depends on how big and how far apart the stars are to see if they are able to provide a planet with liquid water. Although water is a necessary factor for life‚ Venus and Mars in the Solar System‚ even in a habitable zone of the Sun‚ do not currently hold life.

Planet Earth would be burnt to a crisp if not completely destroyed down to the core. If still in existence however it would evolve into perhaps if small one of Mars or Venus’s moons but if size and shape is still intact it would just become one of the 9 lifeless planets in our solar system. Earth would become so poisonous that life would and could no longer exist on

In our time‚ we are one of the first generations to see the planets of our solar system up close‚ and we have been able to view evolution of these planets through time. Our solar system consists of a middle aged star called the Sun‚ 9 planets‚ about 100 moons‚ thousands of asteroids‚ millions of icy bodies‚ and many comets revolving around all of it. We can begin by looking at the origin of the solar
