Years before the US took over the construction of Panama Canal many proposals have been made including that of the King of Spain way back in 1534. However‚ the first effort to make a canal in Panama‚ which is by that time a province of Colombia‚ was made by the French in 1881.

Mercury : Due to mercury being extremely close to the sun‚ causes its planet to have no atmosphere. If any air was ever around Mercury‚ it would have been within its early years and from that point to now‚ it is gone because of all of the heat being given off of the sun. Mercury has crazy weather issues because of the lack of atmosphere‚ which includes a drastic weather change within day to night.Whenever the sun touches the surface of Mercury‚ that is when the climate reaches its highess at

Sets of T-Squares Opposing planets: Mars – Saturn Squared Planet(s) (Apex): Mercury‚ Jupiter‚ Pluto The T-Square is represented by the block of the opposing action/drive (Mars) and structure/discipline (Saturn) forces. When these two elements clash‚ the squares (boiling energy) causes a friction between the two forces‚ causing the individual two solve the tension and find the balance. As the T-Square is an unstable pattern‚ the solution is found within the other side of the apex that provides

topic that puzzles it. Throughout history‚ society has always gone by the fact that there are eight planets in our solar system‚ but recent discoveries prove that a ninth planet should be present. This is a perfect example of how space continually confuses mankind by instantly changing a fact that mankind has believed in for centuries. Recent discoveries have also altered the idea of life on other planets in our solar system. Disproving yet again‚ an idea that mankind has thought to be impossible. The
