Astrology is based upon a belief that one’s personality has its origins in the locations of distant stars and planets at the time of one’s birth.

theories that emerged before the 18th century concerning the formation of the solar system. Solar disruption theory states that the collision of the sun with another stars caused debris to be ejected from its mass and these debris eventually became the planets. This theory was later discarded for the nebula theory of solar system formation. However there are some scientists that propose that it has some merit. The big question up until the 18th century was how the solar system was born. There were many

was discovered in September 1845. It was discovered by means of mathematics before being seen through a telescope. It began in 1843 when John Adams‚ a young English astronomer and mathematician‚ began working to find thew location of the unknown planet. Adams predicted the planned would be about 1.6 billion kilometres farther from the sun then Uranus. That’s when he completed his work in September 1845. Also Urbain Leverriar‚ unknown to Adams‚ began working on the same project. By mid-1846‚ Leverriar

The Space Travel and Research Introduction Space contains the planets‚ countless galaxies and milky ways. Man has been able to go to space and collect pictures of the sun‚ the planets and the moon. Man has landed on the moon and he is trying to find out the existence of life on other planets. Telecommunication‚ weather forecasting‚ radio and television programmes etc. are all monitored by satellites in space. There are also military stations and spy satellites in space which pose a threat

The Solar System The majority of the solar system is made up of the sun and all of the planets that orbit it. There are also moons‚ comets‚ asteroids‚ dust‚ gas‚ and dwarf planets. The sun makes up about 98 percent of our solar system. Because of the suns large mas it pulls every thing in the solar system towards it. The planets orbit around the sun because of the sun pulling it towards it and the planets trying to fly outer space at the same time‚ which balances it out. It was once believed that

To humans‚ exploring and needing to know what is beyond the horizon is part of our nature. In July 2015‚ we watched the spacecraft‚ New Horizons‚ reach Pluto after nine years and three billion miles. As a result‚ we learned that Pluto is not just a giant ball of ice‚ but has a molten core just like Earth‚ and may have the right ingredients to possibly hold life. Although this sparked a possibility of life outside of earth; we should start exploring at our oceans first. It is part of human nature

Another extrasolar planet now called HD 219134b was just discovered‚ and it’s actually a rocky planet‚ like Earth. It’s also the closest rocky planet yet discovered this close to our own solar system. Huzzah! HOW FAR IS THIS MAJESTIC OASIS Too far for you to walk or drive. Or fly‚ for that matter. HD 219134b is 21 light years away‚ but it is possible for us to explore the planet someday. This newfound planet is also a “transiting” world‚ meaning it crosses in front of its host star from our perspective
