Pluto Quotes
QUOTE
Christopher Crokett says, “On July 14, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will reach the dwarf planet and try to learn all it can about Pluto and its five known moons. Then the probe will leave Pluto behind, vanishing into the frigid darkness beyond the planets.”

David J Eicher says, “Nowhere is the future of Lowell Observatory better symbolized than with the observatory’s largest modern project, the Discovery Channel Telescope. This 4.3-meter instrument stands 40 miles (60km) southeast of Flagstaff at Happy Jack, Arizona, and has become the workhorse instrument for the observatory.”

PARAPHRASE
Original Material:
“Flagstaff is where Pluto’s story began to be told. Near the center of town, on a mesa peppered with ponderosa pines, sits Lowell Observatory, where Clyde Tombaugh discovered the tiny world in 1930.” Christopher Crokett.

My Paraphrase:

It even has the audacity to cross another planet’s (Neptune’s) orbit.” Christopher Crokett.

My Paraphrase:
Christopher Crokett in “Pluto: Explored” points out that the Planet Pluto has no control nor gravity. The description of Pluto is the diminutive ice-coated body and outlier. It always far above and well below the plane of the solar system. Moreover, Pluto once cross another planet’s like (Neptune’s) orbit.

Also, Eicher talked about the 24-inch Clark refractor, which was built in 1896 for $20,000. Moreover, he talks about the future of Lowell Observatory better symbolize than with the observatory’s largest modern project, the Discovery Channel

    This lab was super cool, I loved it. The planetarium was great way to learn more about the different constellations and stars in the sky. I never knew that Polaris was so close to the Big Dipper.

    “All seats provide equal viewing of the universe.” - Museum Guide, Hayden Planetarium 1. The quote from the museum guide of Hayden Planetarium is inspirational in that a message is being delivered to people about perceiving their life as equal to everyone’s because every life provides an “equal viewing of the universe.” The quote teaches people that not one “seat” is better than the other, meaning that everyone faces difficult situations at some point in their lives. Everyone has an “equal viewing” of the tough situations that have to be faced in life. 2.…

    The character I selected from Walk Two Moons was Sal . This character is important in the text because she is ornery and hopeful. This trait contributed to the novel, when she came back to her house and asked her dad about margaret her dad was happy but when he started to explain she cut him off because he said that mrs cadaver was not a murderer. In addition she is hopeful because she wants to bring her mom home from lewiston idaho. For example, she starts the car and drives from coeur d'alene to lewiston idaho.…

    You can look through the telescope on the roof and see the rings of Saturn, or the craters of the moon. Also, if the line on the roof is really long, you can see just as good of stuff by looking through the telescopes on the front lawn. (6) BE PATIENT. The Observatory was reopened about 6 months before it was really ready - they wanted to give people the chance to get in to see what's there - but as a result there's no brochures or organized tours yet. Remember, though, the Guides will answer your questions! (7) SEE THE FREE DOCUMENTARY. There's a new theater in the lower levels (The Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon) that has a free documentary film about the Observatory. It's 25 minutes long and it's a great way to get some background information and have a break from walking around. (8) TAKE THE ZOO SHUTTLE. The Zoo shuttle is easy to find, easy to drive to, and free to park…

    The needs for an instrument that would take images of the universe from the space were inevitable since there were so many challenges studying space and the universe from earth. The Hubble telescope, named after the great scientist who confirmed the big bang theory, was the solution to this and it has been in space for the more than 20 years it was supposed to live. Over the time, the telescope has sent home so much information that mankind has realized how little they knew about the universe. This paper covers the needs for the Hubble telescope in space, the impacts that it has had in physics and science and what eventually happens to the telescope when its time expires.…

    Griffith Report

    As I entered the observatory I knew I would come home with information I had never knew about. There where so many things to touch and look at. I wanted to spend every minute observing the displays. The walls and the ceilings have large beautiful murals painted all along the ceiling, like something from a cathedral in Rome. I was told, they were created to show the connection between science and mythology, as well as the connection between the earth and the sky. There were even murals of all the Astronomers who helped develop Griffith’s idea. The center of the building included a large Pendulum, which was a device used to measure the earth’s rotation. It was the observatories main attraction and had required perfect creation in order for it to be exact. As everyone was gathered around this object, we wondered how it worked. At the bottom of the floor was a measuring device with domino like blocks rotating around it. It worked in the strangest way I can imagine, as the ball moved back and forth it would knock down the blocks according to…

    What I have read was an artical published on September 4th, 2006 on wether Pluto was considered a planet. This Article described the man who found it (Clyde Tombaugh) and how they decided to cvlassify Pluto in our solar system. Since his death in 1997, Timbaugh was still in favor of Pluto being a planet. His ashes were put on the New Horizons space probe head for pluto and to arrive in 2015. Something I did not know before I read this article was the size of Plutos Diameter which is roughly 1400 Mi.

    It’s a rare opportunity to have this kind of hint, so you must be able to optimize it as much as you can. So, you now have that “Pluto” idea inside your head and you recognize it as something that’s really valuable, but how the heck could you reach that gold? Think outside the “universe” – Well, that’s a fancy roundabout for thinking outside the box.…

    The planet Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846 by Jean Joseph Le Verrier and Johann Gall. Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System and is the last of the known Planets. Nearly 4.5 billion kilometers from the Sun, Neptune orbits the Sun once every 165 years. It is invisible to the naked eye because of the extreme distance from Earth. The atmosphere of Neptune is made of mostly hydrogen, helium, and traces of methane. With the methane gas in the atmosphere, this is what gives Neptune its blue color.…
