I have always been interested on documentaries about the environment. I have seen many films tackling about environmental conditions‚ laws‚ policies and alike. However‚ this particular documentary is unique. It’s so amusing that indigenous people are part of it and they seem to be like teachers who give the viewers a lesson about ancient beliefs on how nature and humans come as ONE. As I am writing this piece‚ I have just finished watching an episode in “The Amazing Race Philippines” which gave

Following the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846‚ there was considerable speculation that another planet might exist beyond its orbit. The search began in the mid-19th century and culminated at the start of the 20th with Percival Lowell’s quest for Planet X. Lowell proposed the Planet X hypothesis to explain apparent discrepancies in the orbits of the gas giants‚ particularly Uranus and Neptune‚[1] speculating that the gravity of a large unseen ninth planet could have perturbed Uranus enough

The Title of Planet Must be Given Back Voting done at the International Astronomical Union convention about pluto’s status of being a planet was a harsh new reality‚ with the majority voting for pluto’s demotion. Professor Alan Stern‚ chief scientist for the New Horizon mission set for learning more about pluto‚ called the outcome "an awful decision" and described the new definition as "internally inconsistent" ("Why Is Pluto No Longer a Planet?"). The debate of pluto being a planet has started

consists of the sun and nine planets. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Mercury was named after the Roman God of Commerce and Thievery. It might have gotten its name because of the way it quickly appears and disappears from Earth’s view. Mercury is the second smallest planet in the solar system; Pluto is the only planet that is smaller. Earth’s diameter is about 7‚200‚ while tiny Mercury has less than half of that size‚ about 3‚000 miles in diameter. Mercury‚ a planet‚ is smaller than Ganymede

This magnificent blue gargantuan is quite similar to Uranus in scope and composition‚ but much further than the Sun‚ it takes Neptune about 164 years to orbit the Sun. Like other gaseous planets Neptune turns at a tremendous speed on its axis‚ making one day about 16 hours long

Planet Fitness is a vastly growing franchisor in the fitness center industry. As an investor‚ it would be best to open up a new franchise in Newton‚ Massachusetts. Planet Fitness is continuously growing and has added 209 stores since 2015.

Pluto: A Planet? Many issues have arisen from the debate whether or not Pluto is a planet. Some astronomers say that Pluto should be classified as a "minor planet" due to its size‚ physical characteristics‚ and other factors. On the other hand‚ some astronomers defend Pluto’s planet status‚ citing several key features. Indeed‚ most of the problem is that there is no formal definition of a planet. Furthermore‚ it is very difficult to invent one that would allow the solar system to contain all

Jovian Planets Ranging between 4.95 and 30.4 AU away from the Sun are the Jovian planets. Jovian means of or relating to either the planet or the mythological god‚ Jupiter. The Jovian planets‚ also referred to as gas giants‚ are Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ and Neptune. These planets all fit the category of being a Jovian planet due to the mutual inclusiveness of a thick atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium. These planets are not solid‚ they only become denser further towards the core
