Planet Nine‚ the new planet that has been discovered inside of our solar system. Planet Nine is a planet that astronomers‚Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown‚ have found with research and evidence. Because they used research and evidence Planet Nine hasn’t been seen but astronomers believe that they have enough evidence to prove that it is in our solar system. The evidence to prove that it is in our solar system is that scientists have recently noticed a change in orbits of space objects near by‚and

NASA has identified many planets outside our solar system. According to the article “Out of this world‚” the organization has discovered over twelve hundred thousand exoplanets throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. The TedX video “Are we Alone” explained that there are millions of planets in our universe. Astronomers discovered these planets by measuring the brightness of distant stars over time. Moreover they measured the brightness using advanced telescopes such as the Kepler. If the brightness fluctuates

LaJasmine Mathis Physics B. Williams 3/4/2013 Here Comes the Boom!!! Meteroids are small pieces of space debris that are on a collision course with the Earth. They become meteors when they enter the Earth’s atmosphere‚ if they strike the Earth’s surface they are called meteorites. On Friday February 15‚ 2013 at 9:30 in the city of Chelyabinsk a meteor flew across the sky. Estimated to be about ten tons and forty nine feet wide‚ it entered the Earth’s atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of 33

The Apollo Missions were launched by NASA between 1961 and 1975. The missions collected much scientific data that helped us understand more about space and especially the moon. In many of the manned and unmanned missions collected many rock samples. In this certain study they found that the moon had many magma rocks on the moon. This fact surprised many scientists because space is very cold (as we all know) and magma rocks are formed from extreme heat or pressure. The magma rocks were only found

Invasion Bradbury and Wells stories are all about Martians invading earth‚ but‚ the characters experience it in some similar and different ways. In both stories “Zero Hour” and War of The World’s the authors write about how the Martians take over the earth and what life would be without any humans. Although the characters in “Zero Hour” and The War of the Worlds both deal with alien invasions‚ the authors don’t envision the same fate for their characters. For “Zero Hour” Mink’s parents hide in

Our solar system 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

People that believe in aliens usually write about them. H.G Wells wrote his story in 1898 and he was talking about how martians invade the earth. Bradbury wrote his story in 1957 and he talked about how children were going to help aliens invade the earth. The authors of “Zero Hour” and The War of the World’s portray aliens that are ready to change earth and cause destruction in different ways. Both of the stories has characters that are ready to change the Earth. The children in zero hour thinks

My time at Saturn has been an overall‚ fascinating experience. I’m not exactly on the planet‚ since it lacks a solid surface‚ but I still learned a lot about it from a certain distance. Saturn rotates quickly‚ contributing to its high wind speeds. In addition to this‚ the heat from the planet’s interior makes its rings visible. Saturn’s atmosphere is similar to the sun’s‚ mostly containing hydrogen and helium. One of the planet’s most notable features is its rings. They can be seen from a very far

Salviati’s thesis in the excerpts of Galileo Galilei’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems‚ the second day‚ states that all motion is relative‚ and diurnal motion is simply relative to the earth‚ with an emphasis on Copernican heliocentrism. Salviati argues with propositions set forth by Simplicio and Sagredo concerning three questions‚ one in which the earth is movable or immovable‚ the second is whether there is a chance in making it movable‚ and lastly regarding what motion would occur
