Defense Clementine spacecraft shows that there maybe water ice in some deep craters near the moon’s North and South Pole that are permanently shaded. Most of the moon’s surface is covered with regolith‚ which is a mixture of fine dust and rocky debris produced by meteor impact. There are two types of terrain on the moon. One is the heavily cratered and very old highlands. The other is the relatively smooth and younger craters that were flooded with molten lava. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries

1. Mercury: The first planet closest to the Sun‚ Mercury‚ has a surface geology which is quite rocky‚ with heavy amounts of craters‚ boulders‚ and a lot of pulverized dust. It lacks in atmosphere‚ due to its moderate day-night variations‚ particularly in heating by solar energy‚ and its temperate weather swings as a result of that energy. Temperatures on Mercury range from low (90 Kel.) to high (700 Kel.) though‚ despite its many observations‚ it is however quite dead‚ and it has been for some time

An astronomer has a goal to discover and understand the nature of objects in our universe. Astronomers analyze and interpret the information obtained in order to make accurate models of these objects using instruments that collect‚ record‚ disperse and magnify the light that celestial objects give off. In this laboratory I learned how to measure the altitudes of stars using a quadrant. A quadrant is a quarter of a circle that has been divided into 90 degrees. I also learned how to find the angular

describes the darker part of the moon which was suffused with "earth shine". The light which the moon received from earth was much intense and bright than the moon light visible from earth. Therefore‚ they could easily view the mountains and the craters in the earth light. Stars embellished the sky‚ ahead and above them‚ with their "icy fire" and an "arc of impenetrable darkness blotted the firmament". Then at dawn "barely discernible streamers of light" gradually illuminated the moon. Then within

crust where hot magma has reached the surface. The familiar cone-shaped volcano builds up as ash‚ rock and lava ejected during eruptions fall back to Earth around the vent. Crater – A volcanic crater is a circular depression in the ground caused by volcanic activity. A volcano’s vents are located at the bottom of the crater. Pyroclastic Flow – Pyroclastic flows are fast moving currents of hot gas and rock with travel down hill from a volcano‚ reaching speeds of 700 km/hour. The gas can reach temperatures

layers of the lava harden‚ while the interior forms horizontal conduits that channel the advance of the flow. I was able to stoop through these conduits in amazement. CINDER/SCORIA CONES Cinder cones are simple volcanoes which have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit and rarely rise more than a thousand feet above their surroundings. They usually are created of eruptions from a single vent‚ and are composed solely of lava remnants. Cinders of lava‚ blown into the air during eruptions‚ break into
