Back To Earth Solar Wind
1,313 wordsn this ERA of tight space budgets and infrequent deep-space missions, solar system researchers have pushed to squeeze more science from existing interplanetary spacecraft. By drastically altering their orbital paths using gravity-assisted maneuvers combined with relatively brief rocket firings, veteran probes can be sent on productive extended missions. This technique was successfully employed by the International Sun-Earth Explorer 3 (ISSE 3) spacecraft to accomplish two important space firsts:...

Miles Per Hour Miles Per Second
3,274 wordsThe Case For The Existence of God by John Doe, Ph. D. Introduction Either God exists or He doesn't. There is no middle ground. Any attempt to remain neutral in relation to God's existence is automatically synonymous with unbelief. It is far from a "moot" question, for if God does exist, then nothing else really matters; if He does not exist, then nothing really matters at all. If He does exist, then there is an eternal heaven to be gained (Hebrews 11: 16) and an eternal Hell to be avoided (Revel...

No one in America seemed to care that we were giving up, surrendering the future of the next generation of young people with stars in their eyes... How I wished John F. Kennedy were still alive, challenging us to dare and to dream. I feel the same way today; the boldness and scope of his vision is not to be found today in our space program and in our nation...

20 Th Century Neutron Stars
1,393 wordsThe 20 th century saw a great many new discoveries regarding celestial phenomena in the universe. One of these entities, which has only recently been encountered, is the Black Hole. These are formed when a star which has consumed all its fuel collapses in on itself, eventually turning into a black hole with infinite density and zero volume and an immensely powerful magnetic field. We are unable to see black holes even with the most powerful telescope, because their gravitational pull is so stron...

Polar Regions Magnetic Field
612 wordsPioneer 10 was launched in 1972 and flew within 81, 000 miles (130, 000 kilometers) of Jupiter on Dec. 3, 1973. The probe revealed the severe effects of Jupiter's radiation belt on spacecraft. Pioneer 10 also reported the amount of hydrogen and helium in the planet's atmosphere. In addition, the probe discovered that Jupiter has an enormous magnetosphere. Pioneer 10 was launched toward Jupiter on an Atlas rocket in 1972. After reaching the planet in late 1973, it made the first close-up photogra...

Their dreams may come true due to Robert Bigelow, a well-known magnate from Los Angeles, who made a $ 500 million bet that not later than in 2015 his space hotel will open its doors and meet the first guests.

16 Th Century Sun And Moon
1,518 wordsCopernicus and Ptolemy Nowadays astrology is based on a work of two prolific medieval scientists Ptolemy and Copernicus. These scientists have developed what we call today a space science or astronomy in general. Though the theories were genius from the viewpoint of that time, one could not expect them to be completely accurate and satisfy all the inquiries of modern science. It is well-known today that the sun is the center of the solar system and many people consider this knowledge obvious. Ho...

Ice Sheets Ice Ages
1,249 wordsContinental Glaciers The Action of Ice on Land As glaciers become extremely large, they eventually reach the lowlands, which is essentially more gentle terrain. As these huge glaciers reach the lowlands, they travel much more slowly, because they no longer have the steep mountain sides to push the ice down faster. Once on the lowlands, the glacier spreads out for they are no longer restricted by valleys, and become known as Ice Sheets. As long more snow falls than ice melts, Ice Sheets will cont...

Solar System July 23
810 wordsAs I am sure all of you know, we have recently been able to see a new but not permanent addition to the night sky. This addition is known as Hale-Bopp, a comet that is about 122 million miles (about 1. 3 times the distance of the sun to the earth) from the earth and is approximately 25 miles wide. Hale-Bopp was discovered on July 23, 1995 by two scientists named Alan Hale in New Mexico and Thomas Bopp in Arizona. This is the first discovery for both of them, although Alan Hale is one of the top ...

We live on the third, orbiting the Sun at a distance that maintains water oceans and conditions that have supported life for around four billion years. Mars is about half the size of Earth and has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Its surface is red due to the oxidation of iron in the soil. The Martian atmosphere is 100 times less dense than that of Earth and primarily made up of carbon dioxide. Although...

M P H Black Hole
3,742 wordsBlack holes are objects so dense that not even light can escape their gravity, and since nothing can travel faster than light, nothing can escape from inside a black hole. Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. Since our best theory of gravity at the moment is Einsteins general theory of relativity, we have to delve into some results of this theory to understand black ...
