Radio Telescopes Radio Waves
1,285 words... copes Orbiting telescopes are used to observe the ultraviolet (UV), far infrared, and X-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Infrared Astronomical Satellite, placed in orbit in 1983, carried a 22. 5 -inch infrared telescope. Because all matter emits infrared radiation if warm, technologists had to cool the telescope to near absolute zero with liquid helium so its internal heat radiation would not mask radiation it was collecting from deep space objects. Among its many discoverie...

Back In Time Speed Of Light
829 wordsOften 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...

Point Of View Plato Aristotle
1,729 wordsPlato vs. Aristotle Comparison of two different notions of Form in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. The philosopher Plato was the first to state about uniform, circular, completely correct movement of celestial bodies. In his works we meet for the first time the planets named after the gods completely conterminous with Babylon. Plato was the first to formulate a problem for mathematicians: to find by means of what uniform and correct circular movements it is possible to rescue the phenom...

Heavenly Bodies Space Exploration
1,949 wordsSociety today is confronted by a profound crisis and challenge in the world of humans and of nature. God so orders creation that everything in it is related to everything else. All physical components and all organisms, including human beings, are purposefully woven together in ecological systems or ecosystems, such as forests, grasslands, the oceans, as well as the planet earth. When any part is tampered with, exploited or destroyed the effect is felt in other parts and eventually in the whole ...

1,723 wordsPtolemy: Integrity at Question Ptolemy (about 85 about 165), until recently, was considered to be one of the most prominent and influential astronomers of ancient Greece who introduced the geocentric theory in a manner that prevailed for more than 1000 years. However, after the recent findings, the authenticity of Ptolemy's works was submitted to more argument and discussion than any other Greek mathematicians discoveries. Scientists and historians are now divided into 2 warring groups, the firs...

Sun And Moon Sunday School
673 wordsThe Longest Day Few of Gods miracles cause protests in the scientific community like the account of Joshua's long day when God made the sun and moon to stand still. But science and modern technology have done more to verify this phenomenal biblical fact than they have to refute it. Common sense would say it is impossible for such a major disruption to occur and not totally destroy the precise, perfect balance in the solar system. But given a God, who created the heavens and the earth, who establ...

North And South Olympus Mons
1,343 wordsGeology of Mars by Luke Just Mars is the planet that is the closest geologically to our own. Still we know little about the planet. All the information that we have is from what we see. We can speculate about the geology of the planet but we will never know for sure what the planet is really made of until we physically go there. The information is all from NASA sites or NASA related sites. Mars red color leads us to believe that the planet has large amounts of iron. This red color is the only co...

11 Th Century Pieces Of Metal
2,275 wordsIf you had mentioned seeing a Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), or spaceship from another planet 100 years ago, you would probably be thought of as a raving lunatic. If you had mentioned one 50 years ago, the case would be thought about, but with much suspicion. Today, many people would believe you, and, if you had evidence to prove it, the government would take a very close interest in your case, yet many people would call you an idiot. Despite all the evidence that indicates UFOs exist, there ...

1,327 wordsOn a clear night, only a few hundred stars can be seen without the use of any astronomical instruments. The Milky Way Galaxy consists of at least 200 billion stars. Stars are huge balls of hot gases. The sun is a star, but it is not the largest star; it is only the nearest star. A star has three recognizable stages: its birth; the years in which it exists; and its death. Its formation and its life expectancy have captured the curiosity of astronomers for centuries. Astronomers from the past have...

Type Of Energy Build The Base Satellite
302 wordsOne of the big problems not fully appreciated with current ideas in nano technology research is the energy requirement for the development of shuttles and using it to carry the bots to other planets. First of all, the design of the shuttle would have to be very intricate because it would have to be able to manage to intense cold since it has to travel farther and farther away from the sun. And as for the probes that are going to build a base for colonization, it requires a new type of energy unl...

Big Bang Theory Force Of Gravity
711 wordsStars and galaxies began to form about one billion years following the Big Bang, and since then the universe has simply continued to grow larger and cooler, creating conditions conducive to life. Three excellent reasons exist for believing in the big-bang theory. First, and most obvious, the universe is expanding. Second, the theory predicts that 25 percent of the total mass of the universe should be the helium that formed during the first few minutes, an amount that agrees with observations. Fi...
