Adler Planetarium. This paper would discuss about the hand on experience that was obtained when I toured the Adler Planetarium located in Chicago and witnessed the exhibits and the show about the “Cosmic Collision”‚ which was a breathtaking tour around the space. The tour to the planetarium was really a wonderful experience in adding more value and flavor to the wide range of knowledge gained in the class‚ and it did really help me in grasping the real world experience. The show “Cosmic

Jupiter Jupiter‚ the largest planet in our solar system shines brightly in the nighttime sky. Named after the supreme Roman God‚ Jupiter is an appropriate name for a planet of massive size; about eleven times Earth’s diameter; and numerous raging storms. In Roman mythology‚ Jupiter is the God that overthrew his tyrannical father‚ Saturn‚ and quickly took his place as the supreme ruler of the heavens. Many Roman temples were erected in honor of Jupiter‚ the God of storms‚ truth‚ justice and order

Ever since grade school you were taught that our solar system has nine planets. Sadly that is no longer the case; in 2006 astronomers have decided that Pluto no longer qualifies as a planet. Pluto is now considered a “Dwarf Planet” and has caused a lot of controversy among astronomers. A dwarf planet is not even considered to be a planet‚ and there are projected to be hundreds of them in our galaxy. Pluto is being demoted to what amounts as a third class citizen in our galaxy.

was able to observe beyond the beginning of the universe‚ where most of the other astronomers of that day focused. In 1781 as he was searching for double stars‚ Fredrick identified an unusual object. Immediately‚ he knew there was more to the solar system than what the naked eye could detect. At first‚ what he thought he was observing was a comet. But just four days later he recognized that the

Planet Nine‚ the new planet that has been discovered inside of our solar system. Planet Nine is a planet that astronomers‚Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown‚ have found with research and evidence. Because they used research and evidence Planet Nine hasn’t been seen but astronomers believe that they have enough evidence to prove that it is in our solar system. The evidence to prove that it is in our solar system is that scientists have recently noticed a change in orbits of space objects near by‚and

to the ecliptic plane‚ a) there would be no seasons on Earth b) the amount of daylight would be the same everyday c) the Earth’s polar icecaps would have never formed d) none of the above 6. According to the heliocentric model‚ the reason the planets always appear to be near the ecliptic is that a) the ecliptic is only 23.5 degrees from the celestial equator b) the planets revolve around the sun in nearly the same plane c) compared to the stars‚ the planets

really came in contact with an alien otherwise the terms ’Alien ‚ UFOS and Flying Sources’ would have never existed. I however don’t believe that living cells of any kind have ever existed in this solar system apart from on earth. I do see the possibility that maybe other solar systems is our solar system in history which is an interesting thought. Just because NASA has found a single cell living creature in a meteorite doesn’t prove anything in my mind. Especially because of the fact that it has

In order to find the rate of expansion of the universe‚ The Hubble constant was the basic cosmological model dependent on density and composition of the universe. Some formulas used by The Hubble Constant is that the earth is composed of primary matter and the age of the universe is 2/3(Ho) with Ho being The Hubble constant (1). Another formula is that the
