The universe is a canvass of innumerable objects such as planets and stars. If you lay on your back on a warm summer night I would not doubt that you would be enchanted‚ enticed‚ and bewildered by the luster and mirth of all the stars you may even just wilt on the thought of how large they are. If you browse the sky regularly some notable features you you might know is the tactful North Star and the puny Little Dipper. Would you like to learn more about the unique characteristics of our galaxy and

TELESCOPE VIEWING Planetarium show and Telescope viewing‚ is one of the best event I ever attended in our campus. Westconn hosted a planetarium show “A Closer look at Orion The Hunter” as well as telescope viewing of the Waxing gibbous Moon‚ Venus‚ Jupiter‚ Neptune‚ Uranus‚ autumn sky. The event was presented at the university’s Westside campus on Saturday‚ December 6th at 5pm. I chose this event to attend because I wanted to scrutinize about people’s behavior in communication manner. The presentation’s

solar system; Pluto is the only planet that is smaller. Earth’s diameter is about 7‚200‚ while tiny Mercury has less than half of that size‚ about 3‚000 miles in diameter. Mercury‚ a planet‚ is smaller than Ganymede‚ a satellite revolving around Jupiter. One of the features of Mercury distinguishing it from other planets is that it has a different orbit loop. Whereas the orbit of most planets has the shape of a circle‚ the Mercury’s orbit has the shape of ellipse that looks like a stretched out

The main difference between Planet Nine and Earth is the size‚Planet Nine is estimated at about ten times the size of earth‚but is not as big as some of the planets in our solar system like Jupiter and Neptune..Planet Nine is also a much colder and darker planet because it is so far from the sun that it gets no heat or

thermoelectric generators (RTG). The mission plan for Voyager 1 and 2 was to look at all the gas giants in the solar system they called this plan the grand tour‚ the planets include were Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ and Neptune. Voyager 1 was the first spacecraft ever to take detailed pictures of the moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Voyager 2 is a very special space craft due to the fact that it vistited all 4 gas giants via a very special geometric arragement of the planets in which only happens every 176 years

seasons. Motions in the cloud patterns indicate that‚ like Jupiter and Saturn‚ the basic meteorology of Uranus can be described as a striped pattern of winds. This means that‚ even though the pattern is difficult to distinquish‚ Uranus is striped‚ just like Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus has 21 fascinating moons and a complicated ring system. The ring system is a completely different form of ring system than that found at Saturn or Jupiter. At Uranus there is even a very obvious partial ring‚ or "ring

moons have orbits that are "backwards" (compared to their planet’s rotation) or highly inclined to their planet’s equator. Question 6 The region of our solar system between Mercury and Mars has very few asteroids‚ while the region between Mars and Jupiter has many asteroids. Based on what you have learned‚ what is the most likely explanation for the lack of asteroids between Mercury and Mars? There were very few planetary leftovers in this region‚ because most of the solid material was accreted

Born on February 15‚ 1564‚ Galileo was most known for his feats in astronomy and in advancing the scientific revolution of the 16th century. He was a big supporter of Copernican theory which states the sun is the center

explosive population growth. Where are the 3 billion plus people supposed to go? The answer is space‚ to other planets‚ and possibly even other galaxies. A large possibility that is already being weakly implemented today is asteroid mining. Just past Jupiter‚ there is a very large and possibly profitable asteroid belt. Some of these asteroids contain large amounts of silicone‚ which will bring the price of solar power down for earth if it can be effectively shuttled from the asteroid belt to earth. Some
