From the time Clyde W. Tombaugh first discovered Pluto in 1930, it was viewed as an oddball planet leading up to its reclassification in 2006. For decades, Pluto was once used as a benchmark for the outer reach and size of our solar system. In recent years, new discoveries of celestial bodies within the vicinity of Pluto’s orbit have challenged its planetary status. The debate over Pluto’s classification was discussed throughout several media and news articles, leading to serious controversy amongst
As many of us know, NASA is consistently making new discoveries. The newest discovery has me quite intrigued. The findings that imply that the planet, Ceres, has a weak interior. This is evaluated by monitoring the variations in Ceres’ gravity fluctuations, even though they are subtle it is enough of a clue to determine the internal structure. This new data proposes that Ceres has a weak interior, and water and light particles of unknown material separated from rock in the early years during
Specific Purpose Statement: I would like to inform and condense the topic of space exploration into two major branches. These branches are unmanned and manned spaceflight. Thesis: I'd like to start by giving attention to unmanned spaceflight, looking into a few notable discoveries made by these technologies. I will then bring together how these findings have fueled the desire for a continual presence of mankind in space, which can seen through the inception of the International Space Station. Pattern
PROLOGUE It was a time unlike no other other time that had occurred, planet Earth was flourishing and technology was advancing to levels never before imagined. That is until we paid too much attention to what was out there rather than paying attention to our own affairs and every nation contributed well over billions to what was thought to be the most successful space mission in the recorded history of mankind. But the mission did not exactly go as planned as there were a few dilemmas aboard a massive
First of all, before going through more about the mysteries of the phases of the moon phenomenon, it is easier to understand the facts of about the Moon briefly. How did the moon form? How the moon was created a lot of theories, but recent evidence indicates it formed when a break apart of Earth wavering away during a huge collision. According to Dictionary.com (n.d.) stated that Moon is the Earth natural satelite that orbiting the Earth at a mean distance of 238,857 miles (384,393 km) and having
small to be called planets, yet, some asteroids are too big too not to be acknowledged and are known as planetoids or minor planets. The mass asteroids are puny but despite their size, asteroids can be deadly. The earth has been hit by many asteroids in the past and can potentially be hit by some again. That's one reason why scientists study asteroids and find ways to avoid them from hitting us or at least predict if they are coming. There are many theories that all the planets and other space rocks
fiction. Now with the developments in science and technology we have seen around the world, space exploration has become a reality. We have put a man on the moon, created an International Space Station for astronauts to live, and discovered other planets and galaxies millions of lightyears away. These are monumental achievements for the human race and I believe that there are a significant amount of benefits that we can gain from further space exploration. However, I also believe that there are many
“The money spent of space exploration and research would be better spent in improving life on Earth.” Debate Against: If we spend money on space exploration, it can help us find cures for diseases on Earth, like cancer. NASA partnered up with the National Institutes of Health and let them use the U.S. part of the space station for medical research. Also, CCDs (Charge-coupled devices) have been used in the Hubble Space Telescope to transform a far star’s light into digital images, which has been
Space exploration has saved the lives of millions with CAT scans that would not have been invented without NASA. This program has enhanced the security around our country, protected the planet from outside threats, and has given us a backup plan if the Earth’s resources run out. These are only some of the reasons we should have a space program. Traveling to space would help us find valuable resources that might become scarce one day in the future. We have to boost our resources or the resources
“Its SilverBlade.” “SilverBlade?” asked Lieutenant Mesa. “SilverBlade was one of the TDF Veterans who joined to help us when UF was first formed. Once we got going though he effectively disappeared, I wasn’t even aware that he had UF Intelligence Clearance.” “I was not aware that he was either, Commander; however, the code does match the one he used back when he was with us.” “Sounds to me like he and some of the UF Forces of Luna may have joined forces. That could explain the frequency he is
uncomfortable in the dark. Many are asking about space exploration, what they are actually looking for? Many believe that we are looking for physical results and accomplishments such as landing on Mars and maybe sending a colony to inhabit the deserted planet. Space exploration is helping humans deal with problems on earth. Scientists have gathered a better understanding about pollution in our oceans and the issue of deforestation through space exploration. Although these are great resources to create
spite of amount of effort they used in. People who do not know the real life application of space research deliberate that budget for space research should use in sustainability of the planet Earth. Why do huge amount of money used for space research and why we do not use that money for sustainability of the planet World are the main questions that most of people wonder about them. For this
than the stars and planets, it is the future. The cosmos is one of the biggest mysteries, therefore, exploring it has been getting more expensive over the years. Now, the public is questioning if the large amounts of money put into space programs was worth the cost. Being said, spending valuable resources on space exploration is highly beneficial because it enhances mankind’s knowledge to improve the way of life on Earth and allows space programs, like NASA, to use different planets as a resource or
explore a new planet and find new resources that are not on Earth. There are a ton of reasons why the US should explore more about space or ocean. In the ocean you might find some plant that could maybe cure cancer. I believe that it is super important for the United States to be exploring more. Paragraph 1: Maybe the United States could find a whole new different planet, and it could be similar to our planet Earth. Once our Earth is overpopulated, people could move to that new planet. Build new houses
(C) Social Benefits of the Privatization of Space Exploration Historians have distinguished three great ages of exploration, the age of discover in the 15th and 16th centuries, which are associated with Prince Henry, Columbus, and Magellan. The second age taking place in the 18th and 19th centuries characterized by further geographical discoveries and driven by the scientific revolution. Now the third age taking place now, with the beginning of the International Geophysical Year and Sputnik to carry
I think ocean exploration is a little bit more than space exploration. Because space medical research has very good effect on medical research Ocean Blue Medical Research Center has demonstrated dedication to protect the safety, ethical concerns and rights of our volunteers, during many years of closely working with IRBs. We are up to date and in compliance with all regulatory agencies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). there are so many kids saying to work for nasa just for space
Space Exploration, Creating a Better World 319 million people, but only one country to aid. Over the years space exploration has brought humankind closer to a new planet to live on and new materials to use. Space exploration should continue because it represents a pathway to a more advanced lifestyle on our society and it has strongly improved our health and safety on our lives developing new technology therefore, helping the people on Earth. Space Exploration should be funded because NASA is
students of 8 Red. The topic for our debate today is space exploration is not worth the cost. As the affirmative speaker, I agree with this statement. My definition of space exploration is the investigation of physical conditions in space and on stars, planets and other celestial bodies through the use of artificial satellites, space probes and astronauts. Cost describes an amount that has to be paid or spent to buy or obtain something. Today I will be proving that we should “Stop exploring space because
Pluto is by far the smallest planet out of the other eight planets, doesn’t allow scientist and other people to neglect Pluto. Pluto should be a planet because many people agree that Pluto should become a planet, I also think that Pluto should be a planet because the way that Pluto was discovered and it’s history is extraordinary, and lastly, I think it should be a planet because Pluto isn’t a planet, but if everyone; including scientist are saying it isn’t a planet then why does everyone pay so
was officially retitled a dwarf planet. The media’s portrayal of the demotion of Pluto began in 2006 and covered a broad variety of topics including the official ruling in Prague, the public’s reception of the decision, a book written by a scientist claiming sole responsibility for the demotion, and finally NASA’s most recent statement in 2012 regarding the dwarf planet. Media interest in Pluto’s demotion spiked twice, first in 2006 when Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet status with both supporters
