These objects‚ known as the Kuiper Belt Objects or trans- Neptunians‚ were discovered in 1992 by Jewitt and Lu. The first Kuiper Belt Object discovered in 1992‚ is QB1 (1992) and is 150 miles wide. The Kuiper Belt is about 30 AU to 50 AU away from the Sun. The Kuiper Belt is very important because of two specific things; the first being‚ Kuiper Belt Objects are remnants from the earliest

AP 224 QSM 415 Land Surveying Chain Surveying What is chain surveying? Chain surveying is a type of survey in which the surveyor takes measurements in the field and then completes plot calculations and other processes in the office. Here only linear measurements are made i.e. no angular measurements are made. This is most suitable adapted to small plane areas with very few details. If carefully done‚ it gives quite accurate results. The necessary requirements for field work are Chain Tape Ranging

Also in the late 1660’s‚ Newton created the first ever reflecting telescope. It used parabolic mirrors instead of lenses. The telescope did‚ however‚ allow further discoveries in astronomical observation. Since mirrors do not absorb light like lenses do‚ a reflected image of a distant planet can be viewed more clearly (“Newton and the color of

Those pieces of evidence are the Copernican Revolution‚ Galileo’s
