dwarf planets‚ leaving only eight planets in the Solar System.[4] Today‚ the astronomical community widely agrees that Planet X‚ as originally envisioned‚ does not exist‚ but the concept of Planet X has been revived by a number of astronomers to explain other anomalies observed in the outer Solar System. In popular culture‚ and even among some astronomers‚[5] Planet X has become a stand-in term for any undiscovered planet in the outer Solar System‚ regardless of its relationship to Lowell’s

THE HOLLOW MOON THEORY Have you ever considered that maybe the moon isn’t exactly what it seems? It has been decided that the moon ended up where it is as a result of a collision with earth and another planet before the solar system was fully formed. There are many different conspiracy theories floating around out there that try and disprove this idea. One of the many theories regarding the moon is the Hollow Moon Theory. It may be hard to believe that anything other than science is in play here

Distillation of Water by Solar Energy 1Anirudh Biswas* and 2Ruby RESEARCH ARTICLE RESEARCH ARTICLE ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to design a water distillation system that can purify water from nearly any source‚ a system that is relatively cheap‚ portable‚ and depends only on renewable solar energy. From the results of project calculations a truthful estimate was made to prototype the most effective geometries of the distiller and trough concentration system‚ one that will maximize

roughly the size of a small town‚ in the Solar System. It is made up of ice‚ rock‚ dust‚ carbon dioxide‚ ammonia‚ methane and more. Some researchers think comets might have originally brought some of the water and organic molecules to Earth that now make up life here. Comets become visible as they near the Sun. The tail of a comet is its most characteristic feature. Round and round a comet goes in its orbit and when it comes into the inner solar system. Each time a comet gets closer to the

In the following report I focus on astrobiology as it applies to geology‚ or what kinds of planets‚ stars and solar systems are the most likely to play host to life in some form or another. Basic Assumptions Earth is the only planet in the universe we know supports life and the life indigenous to Earth is the only life we know of in the universe. Although it is

ERIS Is the largest known dwarf planet in the solar system(slightly larger than Pluto) First identified in January 2005 by Palomar Observatory based team led by Mike Brown Known as the most distant known natural object in the solar system(except from some comets) NASA initially described Eris as the 10th planet Has only 1 moon name Dysnomia 27% more massive than Pluto Named after the Greek

Please use a different piece of paper to show your calculations and your answers. Problem 1: The distribution of stars in the Galaxy’s disk (fyi: Galaxy = Milky Way; galaxy = any other galaxy ) can be approximated by an exponential function. If stars dominate the mass distribution of the disk‚ we can then say that the mass distribution of the disk follows an exponential

Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun in the solar system. Uranus is described as "rolling around the sun on its side" because it’s tipped over on its side with an axil tilt of 98 degrees. It is not clear to the naked eye‚ and it became the first planet to be seen through a telescope. It was discovered on March 13‚ 1781 by William Herschel. It has 27 moons and 13 rings. Uranus is known as the "ice giant" because it has a hydrogen upper layer and helium is mixed in it. Below is an

To scale these masses‚ a Jovian planet is fifteen to almost three hundred twenty times greater in mass than Earth. Jupiter is by far the largest Jovian planet in addition to overall largest planet in the Solar System. It is nearly three hundred twenty times the mass of Earth and the fifth planet from the Sun.
