The “Planet” Pluto was discovered by scientist in 1930. Even then‚ there was argument over whether this little ball of ice should be considered a planet. It was decided it should‚ mainly because since the gravity of the eighth planet‚ Neptune‚ was found because it was tugging on the seventh planet‚ Uranus‚ and then Pluto was found when its gravity tugged on the orbit of Neptune. Pluto was just a continuation in the time-tested practice of discovering the existence of planets from the behavior of

My friend Sydney‚ also a Ravenclaw‚ and I planned a planetary viewing for November sixteenth. We planned to go to the top of the astronomy tower‚ and catch a glimpse of the three planets we had learned could be seen in late November‚ Venus‚ Mars‚ and Jupiter. We both had passes from professor Turing‚ so we were sure we wouldn’t get caught by Filch for being out of bed. But then again‚ Filch is a bit of an idiot. We headed up to the top of the astronomy tower‚ glancing at the lunar chart Professor

Well‚ a planet is described as a celestial body that is in an orbit of the Sun‚ has a near round shape‚ and doesn’t enter an asteroid field. Simple answer‚ right?

Pluto Not a Planet‚ Astronomers Rule Pluto has been voted off the island. The distant‚ ice-covered world is no longer a true planet‚ according to a new definition of the term voted on by scientists today "Whoa! Pluto’s dead‚" said astronomer Mike Brown‚ of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena‚ as he watched a Webcast of the vote. "There are finally‚ officially‚ eight planets in the solar system." In a move that’s already generating controversy and will force textbooks to be rewritten

Mercury the closest planet to the Sun: Mercury‚ and the other inner planets‚ condense from the heavier elementes. Condensing closest of all to the sun‚ Mercury is rock solid. Outwardly‚ Mercury is like our Moon: rocky‚ cratered‚ barren. But inside‚ like Earth‚ is an iron-rich core. That core is as big as the Moon and‚ at 70% iron‚ Mercury is the densest planet of all. Also Mercury’s day is twice as long as its year. The day lasts 176 Earth days‚ the year just 88. But it gets stranger... If you

Are aliens walking among us on earth? Scientists at the University of California hypothesize that this could be possible. They theorize that aliens have lived on earth among humans for quite some time. Camouflaged and acting as observers. Maybe you believe in aliens.

After all‚ NASA is spending large sums of money to find ancient Martian civilizations. If any evidence supporting
