<ol><li>The physical makeup of Neptune is very gaseous‚ it consists mainly of hydrogen and helium but about 2.5-3% of the planet is methane. <br><li>The Voyager2 spacecraft reached Neptune in 1989 and observed a dark storm system with a bright core of feathery clouds. Wind speeds on Neptune reach 325 meters per a sec (700 mph)‚ moving in a retrograde direction that is opposite to the direction of its rotation. These are the strongest retrograde winds seen on any planet in the solar system.<br><li>Neptune’s

His net worth is $3 million. He performed one EVA for two hours and 31 minutes. An EVA is an acronym for extra-vehicular activity. This is otherwise known as any activity done by an astronaut or cosmonaut outside of a spacecraft‚ outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. EVAs are also commonly referred to as spacewalks or moonwalks.

Since the dawn of the space age in the 1960s‚ we have sent spacecraft to the most easily reached places in our solar system‚ such as Mars. 2. For exploration of celestial bodies‚ NASA has developed a three-phase strategy: reconnaissance‚ surveillance‚ and in-depth study. 3. Each mission to Mars has made specific discoveries and raised questions to be answered

of the most controversial mysteries known to mankind. From ancient to present times‚ unidentified objects have been seen in the sky by millions of people. The question is‚ of course‚ what is it that we are seeing in our skies? Are they foreign spacecrafts from distant planets‚ merely Air Force experiments‚ or only our imagination? Many people believe that extraterrestrial life is existent and far more advanced then us. Conversely‚ many believe that aliens are just figments of our optimistic imaginations

day in and day out. Also known as the ellipse law‚ this law has helped engineers a great deal in monitoring the movement of the planets from one position to another. The focal point and the loci is always taken as the sun. The satellites and the spacecrafts designed by the engineers all need to make use of this law for higher accuracy. The second law talks more about the areas covered by the planets while moving around the sun. This is also commonly known as the law of the equal areas because it says
