Submitted by : Jennie Rose S. Almasan Submitted to : Prof.Landingin “ NASA’s WISE Finds Mysterious Centaurs May Be Comets” New observations from NASA’s NEOWISE project reveal the hidden nature of centaurs‚ objects in our solar system that have confounded astronomers for resembling both asteroids and comets. The centaurs‚ which orbit between Jupiter and Neptune‚ were named after the mythical half-horse‚ half-human creatures called centaurs due to their dual nature. This artist’s

a 5-year journey from Earth to Jupiter‚ people are wondering why should we care. Well this video states that the planet Jupiter is the second most important planet in our universe. Also‚ states that it holds the secrets to the formation of the solar system. For the size of Jupiter‚ they consider this as a monster. It mass is very large that‚ with all our planets combined except the sun it weights more. To be exact it two and a half time more than all the planets combined according to this video.

into orbit‚ so the ships must perform years of orbit adjustment to match position and velocity with the tiniest worlds. Power is also a problem. Located very far from the Sun‚ comets‚ outer planets‚ and most asteroids receive very little solar energy. Solar arrays must be very large to gather the little sunlight‚ like those of Rosetta‚ Dawn‚ and Juno; or else spacecraft must carry radioisotope thermoelectric generators. The successes of missions like Voyager‚ Pioneer‚ Galileo‚ Cassini-Huygens‚

NASA has found many planets out of our solar system. Those planets are called exoplanets. In addition‚Nasa has confirmed 3‚397 exoplanets And also 2‚531 other solar systems. NASA has launched a telescope into space and it is called spitzer. Therefore‚ using the spitzer telescope to find a lot more exoplanets. There is a lot of exoplanets outside our solar system and NASA plans to find a lot more. Some astronomers say that people may be able to live on other planets that are the same size as

The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main asteroid belt or main belt because there are other asteroids in the solar system such as near-Earth asteroids and trojan asteroids. More than half the mass of the main belt is contained in the four largest objects: Ceres‚ 4 Vesta‚ 2 Pallas‚ and

had become the leader of all other celestial bodies and was placed in the center of the Solar System. This angered the Moon‚ who despised the Sun. The Moon Spirit challenged the Sun for the position as ruler of the planets. Unfortunately for the Moon‚ the Sun used his superior strength to outcast the Moon to a lonely location between Venus and Mars. After 4‚000 years of peace among the bodies of the Solar System‚ the Sun was growing old and developed a feeling that something was missing. The Sun Spirit

These stars mirrored the ones within her own galaxy that she loved to view at night. Mirebelle picked out one solar system within the galaxy that she saw fit to host the life they planned to create. Within this solar system was eight planets‚ one sun‚ and large amount of comets‚ asteroids‚ and meteoroids. Mirebelle thought this solar system provided
