Manmade‚ or artificial satellites are placed into orbit by rockets or space shuttles. After World War II‚ the former Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I‚ the first artificial satellite in 1951‚ into space. In 1958‚ the United States launched its first artificial satellite Telstar I into orbit.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is twice as large as all the other planets combined. It has 28 known satellites. The earliest discovered moons date back to 1610 and were discovered by Galileo. This is of interest because a future mission to Jupiter is named after this astronomer. Most of the remaining moons were discovered in the 20th century with advancement of technology. Some are discovered using better telescopes and others with missions directed towards Jupiter. Some of

was Ptolemy’s cosmos like? How did he explain retrograde motion? - Each planet moves around Earth on a small circle that turns upon a larger circle. A planet following this motion traces a loop as seen from Earth‚ with the backward proportion of the loop mimicking apparent retrograde motion. 7. What are epicycles and deferents? - Each planet moves around Earth on a small circle that turns upon a larger circle. A planet following this motion traces a loop as seen from Earth‚ with the backward

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
