to account for all the characteristics of the solar system that need to be explained. According to their dust-cloud theory‚ the solar system was formed from a slowly rotating cloud of dust and gas that contracted and started to rotate faster in its outer parts‚ where eddies formed. These eddies were small near the center of the cloud and larger at greater distances from the center. The distances corresponded more or less to the Titius-Bode relation. As

Miller Final Paper 2/23/06 The Search for Life in Outer Space For years‚ astronomers‚ scientists of all kinds‚ and even average people have wondered if there is such thing as life on other planets. Many dedicate all of their time to researching extraterrestrial life. Some believe researching something we have no proof of is a waste of time. Modern day telescopes have detected Earth-sized planets orbiting nearby stars. An ancient Martian rock shows signs of life‚ and

Equalities Role in Keeping up a Utopian Society By; Reanna Willey In 1815 your family immigrated to America under the assumption that America was a utopian society‚ where freedom of religion‚ speech‚ and press where no longer privileges but demands. With the ideas behind the Declaration of Independence fueling their ambitions‚ and the wishful thinking of hundreds of civilians‚ the thought of equality flourished within the minds of settlers. The mindset that

It took two years to reach the first planet they were researching‚ Jupiter. Voyagers 1 and 2 took around 100‚000 pictures of the outer planets. They took pictures of Jupiter’s “swirling red atmosphere”‚ images of volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon‚ Io‚ erupting 200 miles into space‚ and awesome pictures of Saturn’s rings. Voyager 1 took a different

and why is it important? Space exploration is scientific studies using scientific equipment in space and anything about it. There are different reasons why space exploration is important. We could discover new resources from other planets or the moon‚ other planets can be could be used when something happens to the earth and we need another place to stay on. Occupation Space exploration is a well-paid job because it could be very dangerous. You also have to study hard and get good

no longer the stuff of science fiction. With each passing day it is closer and closer to becoming a reality. Colonizing space would be the ultimate feat of mankind. But exploration isn’t the only incentive to leave Earth. Our 4.5 billion year old planet is being quickly depleted of resources. The most impending problems include world hunger‚ the scarcity of fresh accessible water‚ and of course global warming. Over 800 million people are suffering malnutrition in the world today.

This changes the nature of the hydrogen in such a way that it is able to conduct electricity as metal does‚ so it is called "metallic hydrogen." This generates the planet’s magnetic field which is 20‚000 times stronger than Earth’s. This layer also makes up most of

This is the first of many interesting facts that are going to follow. Why do meteorites fall? For the same reason why anything falls on Earth - ’Gravity’. Very few can escape it! Meteorites have their origin in outer space. They are relatively small pieces of dust and debris‚ usually left behind in the wake of a comet. Meteorites‚ that are huge in size
