... eld, it is so week that no instrument has been
able to detect it. Mars like the Earth is tilted
on its rotational axis. Liquid water cannot exist
on Mars's surface because of the low temperature
and pressure' water exists only as ice deposited
at the poles and perhaps trapped below the surface
and as vapor in the atmosphere. Mars is very
desolate and barren and is covered in craters and
are prone to violent sandstorms. The UV radiation
of Mars would kill any known life. Mars has the

fiction writers of the twentieth century. His

Science Fiction Los Angeles

In The Martial Chronicals, Ray Bradbury provides a
glimpse into the future that not only looks at
people from a technological standpoint, but from a
human one as well. His well crafted, almost poetic
stories are science fiction in setting only. They
put much more emphasis on the apathy and
inhumanity of modern society, rather than the
technology. (Bryfonski, 68) Ray Douglas Bradbury
was born on August 22, 1920 to Leonard Spaulding
and Ester Bradbury in Waukegan, Illinois. He began
his writing at...

Back In Time Speed Of Light
829 words
Often when I look at the stars when I'm in bed at
night I shudder to think of my insignificance in
the immensity of the Universe. The distances in
the Universe are inconceivably huge, so we measure
them in light-minutes or light years. A light
minute is the distance light travels in one
minute, and that's a long way, because light
travels through space at 300, 000 km a second. So
in a minute it would travel 18, 000, 000 km. The
distance of the Sun from the earth is about eight
light-minutes whic...

Mars and Pluto Cannot Support Life: Why?
Throughout the history of the Earth, people have
wondered if there is life anywhere else in the
universe. For centuries, they believed that the
world was flat and that the sun went around the
Earth. People did not know enough about the

believe in aliens. But science has shown us why
there is no other planet, at least no such planet
that we know about, that is capable of supporting
life. If we take our own so...

War Of The Worlds Martian Chronicles

Style is one of the most important aspects of any
artist. B. B. Kings playing, Poe's gloom, and
Salvador Dali's abstractness are all part of their
individual style. It helps the average person to
identify the artist, whether it may be a musician,
writer or painter. Although Bradbury and Wells may
both been writing science fiction, they each had
their own style. Bradbury and Wells have many of
the same stylistic features, but they also have
contrasting traits in their writing. Martian

Extra Terrestrial Mars Planet

My personal opinion I always wished that I would
live long enough to witness the discovery of alien
life on another planet. I guess a genie somewhere
in this small world heard me and granted my wish,
well sort of anyway. The discovery of these
microscopic life forms on a rock that came from
mars found in an Antarctic ice field in 1984 is
amazing because we are now almost sure that life
is or was possible on other planets than earth.
Still, I wish that we would have found remains of
an ancient ci...

Gaius Julius Caesar Tarquinius Superbus

The Romans have had almost every type of
government there is. Theyve had a kingdom, a
republic, a dictatorship, and an empire. Their
democracy would be the basis for most modern
democracies. The people have always been involved
with and loved their government, no matter what
kind it was. They loved being involved in the
government, and making decisions concerning
everyone. In general, the Romans were very
power-hungry. This might be explained by the myth
that they are descended from Romulus, who...

Magill Frank N Ray Bradbury

Rocket. That must have been Ray Bradbury's first
word. The word rocket is the basis for any and all
science fiction novels. Without such a diverse
tool, science fiction would not be half as popular
as it is today. Mr. Bradbury isnt the greatest
sci-fi writer of all time, but he is most
assuredly one of the top 20, (at least I think
so). Born Ray Douglas Bradbury on August 22, 1920
in a little town known as Waukegan in Illinois. In
1926, Mr. Bradbury's family moved to Tucson

Rose Of Sharon Grapes Of Wrath

Survival of the Passionate Raymond Chandler,
author of The Big Sleep, and John Steinbeck,
author of The Grapes of Wrath, focus their novels
on astounding women, the backbone of support
necessary for their family to overcome obstacles
and survive. In many ways, women are used to
gathering information, inspiring, encouraging the
hero, while hiding the negative with an absolute
and optimistic, though often false, attitude. The
women in these two novels are parallel in many
ways. They all achieve an...
