began the questioning if whether Pluto should be considered together with or separately from its surrounding population. Pluto lies in the Pluto-Charon system which is the largest of the solar system binary system. In August of 2006 the International Astronomical Union declared that Pluto is no longer a planet. Thereby downsizing the solar system to 8 planets. This vote by the IAU has sparked a lot of conservation of whether Pluto should be a planet or not. Pluto meets two of the three requirements

Space Station‚ NASA experiments and shows how more explorations into space may make it easier to maneuver through a deep space and be able to locate the missions position in this deep space. This is done in an ethereal kind of “Global Positioning System or GPS” if you can have a GPS without the global. This form of tracking is using signals from dead stars in deep space that are always constant. The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer or NICER took a day and a half to look at pulsars. Pulsars

been found.[10] Titan is the sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon‚ Titan has a diameter 50% larger than Earth’s natural satellite‚ the Moon‚ and is 80% more massive. It is the second-largest moon in the Solar System‚ after Jupiter’s moon Ganymede‚ and is larger by volume than the smallest planet‚ Mercury‚ although only 40% as massive. Discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens Titan was the first known moon of Saturn‚ and the fifth known

SES4U Final Assessment Part 1: Impact Craters An impact crater (impact basin or sometimes crater) is a circular depression on a surface‚ usually referring to a planet‚ moon‚ asteroid‚ or other celestial body‚ caused by a collision of a smaller body (meteorite) with the surface. In the center of craters on Earth a crater lake often accumulates‚ and a central island or peak (caused by rebounding crustal rock after the impact) is usually a prominent feature in the lake. Ancient craters whose relief

“Marcy and Butler were the ones who last year confirmed the first discovery of a planet outside our solar system‚ 51 Pegasi. ‘After the discovery of 51 Peg everyone wondered if it was a freak‚ a one in a million observation‚’ Marcy said. ‘The answer is no. Planets aren’t rare after all. These new discoveries are important because they spawn a new subfield of astrophysics‚ the study of planetary systems‚’”(Sanders 2). With the observation and discovery of exoplanets‚ scientists and astronomers will now

My strategies for the Seminar Two Quiz which covers the uses of the STAR and Solar System and learning styles are to use flashcards. I will make a card for each topic and list the subtopics and put in some key words to jog my memory. For example my card for the Solar System will have a bullet point with Academic Office and keywords of transcript‚ registration‚ course documents. The strategy I am using for the Facilitation
