The Educational Journey Education is a journey through the universe. The universe is enormous and seems to have no end. If a person wants to be truly educated, he or she must spend years in school studying both important and trivial information. The material in the solar system represents the years a student spends in school. The remaining space in the universe is the endless learning one does outside of the classroom. The sun may not be in the center of the universe; however, the sun is the
The discovery of Kepler-186f is a huge venture to discovering planets like our planet Earth .This planet is named Kepler-186f and it is one of five planets that have hitherto been caught by NASA's Kepler space telescope in circle about the star Kepler-186. This star is more diminutive and cooler than the Sun, of a sort called a M-dwarf or red dwarf, and all it’s referred to planets are little too, with sizes short of what 1.5 times the measure of Earth. The planet Kepler-186f is the most modest,
Have you ever wondered about planets like the one in the move Avatars? You know, thought are there any planets similar to that one in our universe. Well in a way there are. You see, there are planets in our galaxy that astronomers have found that just might fit more of a realistic version of what you may have imaged. These planets are called Super-Earths and some of them may even be habitable. However, there hasn’t really been strong evidence of traces of life on these planets so far but scientists
Earth is small. Many people find it hard to believe, but when one thinks of earth in its context, amongst billions of galaxies, stars, planets, and an infinite universe, earth is a mere grain of sand on the beach that is space. With this in mind, one may, quite understandably, find it hard to believe that earth is the only planet that sustains life. With today’s advanced technology and science, extensive evidence has been found suggesting a great likelihood of life on other planets. The discovery
The War of the Worlds Imagine a world where humans are not the dominant species and have been enslaved by a foreign entity that has no other goal, but to take the Earth over. H.G Wells is an author who writes stories in an ultimately artistic way. His stories paint pictures that are both gruesome and horrible, but yet beautiful and courageous at the same time. The War of the Worlds is a story where the planet of Mars is at the end of its lifespan and is dying at a rapid pace. A species called the
The Earth is the lucky third planet from the Sun and the largest of the solar system’s four terrestrial planets. It is the most suitable place for human beings to live because it has adequate sources of everything essential for human beings. Predictions about the end of the world have been denied before. However many people predict that 2012 will be the end of our world. According to Mayan’s calendar, the world will end in the year 2012.Thus is why NASA as the organization that investigates on astronomy
habitable planet life cannot sustain in the universe, the search for life in the universe has been long and hard with no results proving life to exist outside of earth. The most predominant searchers of those at the SETI Institute or Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence Institute, a privately funded organization, that uses various methods to search for electromagnetic transmissions, the assumed method of contact, from distant planets. With information about planets habitability and possibly locations
A ''running back'' (RB) is the position of a player on an American football team who usually lines up in the Offensive backfield. The primary roles of a running backs are to receive handoffs from the quarterback for a rushing play, to catch passes from out of the backfield, and to block. Some athletic traits that a running back will need are Speed, Power, Endurance, Strength and Agility. In football speed over a short distance is very important, running backs need quick feet to help them make short
There are over a million different planets in our universe. There is not one planet like the other, though some people may argue with this fact. Jupiter, Saturn, are all gas giants, but they also are made up of different gasses. Jupiter is made up of mostly hydrogen, Saturn is made up of hydrogen and helium. I am sure that everyone knows that the rock planets are not alike in many different ways, there is mercury which is very hot, and most likely just a planet of lava. Then there is earth which
Madison Brown Final Examination Astronomy Final The geology of solar terrestrial planets mainly deals with the geological aspects of the four terrestrial planets of the Solar System, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and one terrestrial dwarf planet, Ceres. Only one terrestrial planet, Earth, is known to have an active hydrosphere. Terrestrial planets are substantially different from the giant planets, which might not have solid surfaces and are composed mostly of some combination of hydrogen, helium
4. Philosophy: Knowing the impermanence of the Earth, do humans have a moral obligation to find and explore habitable worlds outside our own? Should this exploration come at the expense of imminent affairs (creating food, energy, social programs right now on Earth)? If not, then what should be the limit--how much should we be spending on space exploration? If humanity should abandon space exploration, discuss how we should be using resources such as money, scientists' work, etc. that are currently
Exoplanets, also known as extrasolars, are unique planets that are not in our solar system. In fact, around 1,800 of these planets have been discovered dating all the way back to 1992 when the first exoplanet was discovered. However, the first exoplanet discovered orbiting around a star was called 51 Pegasi B and was founded in 1995. There are many different kinds of exoplanets that range and vary greatly. Some examples of these exoplanets are gas giants, pulsar planets, hot jupiter, and many more
Good old Mars? In the story “ Mars is heaven”, Ray Bradbury utilizes many descriptions of the setting to create an enigmatic and mystifying tone for the readers and portrays, Mars as a symbol of heaven. As we know, the story is about a group of astronauts who are on a mission to travel to Mars, a completely unknown and unfamiliar area to them. The objective of the trip is to explore the environmental conditions of the planet and analyze whether the planet could be inhabitable for mankind. After the
This paper is an overview of the Kepler spacecraft and its mission in space. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Association (NASA), Kepler, named after Renaissance astronomer Johannes Kepler, “is a space observatory launched…to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars.” Kepler does this by searching for planets within our galaxy that have a similar size to Earth within a habitable zone. A habitable zone is a distance between the planet and its star where water can exist on the
the density formula to be able to apply it to our data. We know that planets are either made up of rocks and metals or gases and ice. With knowing the density, you can figure out the planets make up. Introduction Before this lab, we knew that the terrestrial planets are made up mostly
Rupert Murdoch and a Dramatic Change in the Television Industry Critically assess this statement with particular reference to commercial television channels. Rupert Murdoch owns one of the largest media organisations in the world, called News International. This is an organisation which owns products in all mediums. Press baron, Murdoch started his ownership of print in Australia when he inherited his first newspaper from his father, the Adelaide News, he made what was a fairly unsuccessful

fell under the heading “public service broadcasting.” Although the BBC no longer enjoys a broadcasting monopoly, the promise to provide a mix of programming by which audiences may be educated as well as entertained has been emulated by the other terrestrial broadcasters, beginning with ITV in the 1950s. However, recent years have shown a breakdown to this widespread agreement and the term “public service broadcasting” now seems to exist as more of an amorphous notion than anything with a real concrete
