was able to look through the telescope‚ I immediately observed the basic outline of the plant on a much smaller scale which I have seen through textbook drawings before. Furthermore‚ the planet was white in color which I believe was because the telescope couldn’t display color. In relation to brightness‚ the planet wasn’t particular vibrant but I could very much notice the circle in the middle surrounded by a ring. One of the most fascinating feature I noticed through the telescope lens beside Saturn

natural curiosity of Mars quickly turns to selfish ambition to rampantly colonize the Martian culture and land. Bradbury‚ in turn‚ gives us a theoretical sense of how the mistakes from our past may very well be the mistake of our future. The preface of post colonization in The Martian Chronicles begins with the eradication of the Martian species‚ serving as a commencement to the ultimate demise of their culture. By the time the fourth expedition from America reaches Mars‚ they arrive only to find

The paper will derscribe how the earth and its atmosphere evolved with the help of other bodies. Which includes a discription of the formation of the bodies that plays a role in the evolution of earth. Also‚ a discription of the earth‚ sun‚ moon‚ planets‚ and other bodies motions according to Copernicus‚ Kepler‚ and Gallileo discoveries. Evolution: Earth and Its Atmosphere

Where ? Because we are planetary creatures‚ when most people think about space colonization they usually envision homes on Mars or perhaps Earth’s moon. Colonization of those bodies is in fact much less desirable than orbital colonization‚ even though Mars and the Moon are the only practical solid bodies suitable for colonization in the solar system‚ at least for the next few centuries. Venus is far too hot. Mercury experiences extreme temperatures‚ as the days and nights are so long. Jupiter‚ Saturn

ability to learn. Over the centuries‚ scientists like Galileo and Newton described the structure of the solar system and the movement of the planets. Inventions such as the telescope permitted them to see the moon’s craters‚ the canals on Mars‚ Saturn’s rings‚ and other intriguing details. This knowledge increased their curiosity about the moon‚ sun‚ and planets‚ and they longed for more information. They even dreamed of expeditions across space to encounter them first-hand. In the early years of the

Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun in the solar system. Uranus is described as "rolling around the sun on its side" because it’s tipped over on its side with an axil tilt of 98 degrees. It is not clear to the naked eye‚ and it became the first planet to be seen through a telescope. It was discovered on March 13‚ 1781 by William Herschel. It has 27 moons and 13 rings. Uranus is known as the "ice giant" because it has a hydrogen upper layer and helium is mixed in it. Below is an
