during the Apollo landings on the Moon. 4. How are comets different from asteroids? One of the main differences between comets and asteroids are what they are made of. Asteroids are made up of metals and rocky materials while comets are made up of ice‚ dust and rocky material. Asteroids formed near the sun while comets farther away. Comets have tails while asteroids don’t. Also another difference is their orbit patterns. 5. Of what are comets made? Ice‚ dust and rocky material. And asteroids?

Typhoon A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean between 180° and 100°E. This region is referred to as the northwest Pacific basin.[1] For organizational purposes‚ the northern Pacific Ocean is divided into three regions: the eastern (North America to 140°W)‚ central (140°W to 180°)‚ and western (180° to 100°E). Identical phenomena in the eastern north Pacific are called hurricanes‚ with tropical cyclones moving into the western

Many scientists believe that the event was caused by a meteor or comet exploding before it hit the surface. Other scientists however‚ believe that it could have been a UFO crash‚ a natural hydrogen bomb‚ and some people at the time of the event believe it was the end of the world.

scientists. During the mission‚ SOHO discovered a very rare periodic comet. They have already unveiled over 1‚350 comets during the mission‚ but what they found was considered officially periodic. Many comets that SOHO has discovered have been identified as periodic‚ meaning that they follow their orbits around the sun more than twice and also have orbital periods that consists of less than 200 years. Astronomers have seen thousands of comets but have around 190 of them that fall under being periodic. The

I chose to research the discovery of Uranus by William Herschel in 1781. When William first started getting into astronomy he‚ “…systematically searched for nebulae…” (Mark Bratton‚ "William Herschel’s Extraordinary Night Of Discovery." William enjoyed looking at the stars and enjoyed creating telescopes to do so. But‚ Alan MacRobert in his article titled‚ “Ice-Giant Spotting” explained that‚ “William Herschel in England swept up Uranus by accident in 1781 while using a homemade reflector in his
