The second type of measurement that coincides with distance is speed. The most common devices that are used to receive speed measurements are radar guns. Georgia State University’s website‚ “Police Radar” focusses on the process of typical radar guns. Typical guns expel microwave waves off to the atmosphere while the gun is directed to hit towards a target From there‚ an object moving by who hits it sends the waves back with its modified frequency caused by the Doppler Effect (Georgia State University

Generation Space Telescope. It is currently under construction and it is hoped to be launched in October 2018. One of the biggest goals of this new technology will be to have it help us understand more distant events and objects in the universe. This could even help us understand how the first galaxies of the universe were formed. Not only would we aim to understand the formation of galaxies but we would get a better grasp in the formation of stars and planets as well. This telescope has a 21-foot mirror;

simple‚ and safe way to go to space. A trip to space was to take place every week. The program didn’t quite do this. However‚ the shuttle turned out to be the best way to carry large items into orbit. For example‚ the shuttle carried the Hubble Space Telescope into space. Taking heavy items to the ISS soon became the main job of space shuttles. Q: Without the shuttles‚ how will NASA send astronauts to the ISS? A: NASA will continue to buy rides on Russian capsules. These capsules can be used to

team of astronomers used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to conduct research by observing 20 neighbouring galaxies and found that the combined effect of the energy emitted from starbursts can propel a powerful wind that travels out of the galaxy that can affect distances up to 20 times greater than the visible size of the host galaxy. The astronomers utilized the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) instrument on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to study the light emitted from a mixed sample of

The Hubble Space Telescope was also launched in 1990‚ which revolutionizes astronomy and space travel‚ and to this day the telescope still is in space and has been taking pictures for NASA for just over 20 years. It was also around this time that the first cloning took place. It was first tried on dolly the sheep on the 26 of

When I was eight years old‚ I peered through a telescope for the first time in my life. It was a small device‚ no more than two metres long‚ and yet it let me glimpse a brilliant view of Jupiter: it was the size of a marble‚ magnificently striated in hues of brown‚ red and orange. Then‚ when I was 13‚ I went to the Birla Planetarium in Hyderabad‚ where I revisited my five-year old fascination with Jupiter as I sat spellbound in the arena as a cosmic dance played out in the canvas stretched above
