It would also reduce the litter and trash that is literally covering our planet. Sure there are facilities that specialize in getting rid of trash. There are even whole companies whose job it is to eliminate trash. But how fast are they going? Are these efforts by various groups enough to stop or even stem the flow of trash from

A widely used unit of distance in astronomy is the light year‚ the distance traveled by a beam of light in one year. Early observers grouped the thousands of stars visible to the naked eye into patterns called constellations. These patterns have no physical significance‚ although they are a very useful means of labeling regions

For millennia mankind has inhabited the third planet from the sun; the planet that supports life and is know to us as Earth. Although there has been life on Earth for quite sometime‚ it is only in the past few centuries that man has come to learn about what makes up the interior of this planet. The English scientist‚ Isaac Newton‚ can be seen as a pioneer in regards to learning about the Earth ’s interior‚ as he calculated from his studies of planets and the force of gravity‚ that the average density

a numerical equation that helped astronomers locate each planet according to a specific sequence (Chavis‚ 2010). This equation led to the discovery of a gap between Mars and Jupiter where another planet should be located‚ but isn’t. Guiseppe Piazzi discovered the asteroid but thought it was a comet and later thought it was a planet and named it Ceres. However‚ another astronomer came to the realization that Ceres was too small to be a planet and then referred to it as a asteroid (Chavis‚ 2010). The

Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. Named for the Roman god of the sea‚ it is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third largest by mass. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus‚ which is 15 times the mass of Earth but not as dense.[12] On average‚ Neptune orbits the Sun at a distance of 30.1 AU‚ approximately 30 times the Earth–Sun distance. Its astronomical symbol is ♆‚ a stylized version of the
