Personal Narrative: My Time At Saturn
My time at Saturn has been an overall, fascinating experience. I’m not exactly on the planet, since it lacks a solid surface, but I still learned a lot about it from a certain distance. Saturn rotates quickly, contributing to its high wind speeds. In addition to this, the heat from the planet’s interior makes its rings visible. Saturn’s atmosphere is similar to the sun’s, mostly containing hydrogen and helium.
One of the planet’s most notable features is its rings. They can be seen from a very far distance, with the use of a telescope. The rings are mostly composed of particles of ice and rock. These particles are kept in the rings by Saturn’s smaller moons, which use gravity to do this. The ice reflects light, and makes the rings bright.

    The actual launch of the Apollo 13 was on April 11, 1970. Two days into the mission it looked like the smoothest flight that the Apollo program had ever seen. "The spacecraft is in real good shape as far as we are concerned. We're bored to tears down here." said Joe Kerwin of mission control (3). At 55 hours the crew held a TV broadcast for 49 minutes where they showed off their living conditions and how they worked in weightless situations. Nine minutes after the broadcast mission control instructed that Odyssey to give their oxygen tanks a stir and moments later oxygen tank No.2 in the service module exploded, due to an exposed fan wire. The eruption then damaged oxygen tank No.1, causing them to start to lose oxygen rapidly. The cover of…

    Despite non-selection, my pursuit of this prestigious and challenging position will not be deterred. My naval career, I have continually sought positions of greater responsibility and produced exceptional results in each of those positions. While I take great pride in being a Chief Petty Officer, I feel the experience I have acquired as a Chief will benefit any wardroom I am a member of. It is important to note that I did not submit an LDO-CWO package for FY-14 due to the time constraints I experienced while standing up Naval Beach Unit SEVEN with an under staffed office and operational commitment.…

    I vividly remember the day of the Challenger Disaster. I was five years old and in kindergarten. My teacher, Ms. Epton, brought us outside to watch the shuttle launch; something many kids have to watch on television, but those of us living on the coast got to witness firsthand. I remember seeing the fiery glow of the shuttle, the gasps by the adults, and quickly being hurried back into the classroom. Not much was said about what had happened, it was not until later that I fully understood.…

    When I was able to look through the telescope, I immediately observed the basic outline of the plant on a much smaller scale which I have seen through textbook drawings before. Furthermore, the planet was white in color which I believe was because the telescope couldn’t display color. In relation to brightness, the planet wasn’t particular vibrant but I could very much notice the circle in the middle surrounded by a ring. One of the most fascinating feature I noticed through the telescope lens beside Saturn was two additional white, twinkling dots on each side of Saturn which were identical in all ways. Subsequently, I learned those two dots represented the stars, Rhea and…
