such as Polar Regions. Since the Moon has an absence of a dynamic surface or active volcanism‚ it enables the Moon to preserve a history of all its impacts from space rocks. These impacts can explain the age long questions of the history of our solar system. On Earth alone

Is Mars Colonization a Good Idea? Among celestial bodies in our solar system‚ Mars is remarkable in that it possesses all the raw resources required to sustain not only life‚ but a new branch of individual evolution. The time to colonize Mars would certainly be required when the Earth becomes uninhabitable as the global warming rises up. When that happens‚ Mars has the potential to become the most habitable planet in our solar system. Nevertheless‚ even with positive extrapolation of robotic manufacturing

principle); it has no beginning and no end. The theory requires that new matter must be continuously created (mostly as hydrogen) to keep the average density of matter equal over time. The amount required is low and not directly detectable: roughly one solar mass of baryons per cubic megaparsec per year or roughly one hydrogen atom per cubic meter per billion years‚ with roughly five times as much dark matter. Such a creation rate‚ however‚ would cause observable effects on cosmological scales. Dust-Cloud

But there was a man who did not agree with Ptolemy and his name was Nicholas Copernicus‚ he believed in a heliocentric system which pretty much means the sun is at the center of everything. Galileo Galilee and Johannes Kepler shortly have noticed other moons of many other planets in the system that proved Copernicus’ theory to be

I am a student at Rossview Middle School and I am here to speak on the argument of whether the government should keep sending money for the NASA programing. The U.S government should keep sending money to the NASA and other programs because we could colonize other planets‚ explore how our Earth came to be‚ moreover learn more about the universe that makes our Earth look like a speck of dust

crashed into a cloud of gas‚ bringing in the ingredients for our solar system. The formation of our sun came first from the collapse of a solar nebula. After about ten to twenty million years after this collapse‚ dust then clustered to grains‚ to lumps‚ to boulders‚ to planetesimas. Soon it became chunks of rock big enough to have their own gravitational field. So‚ some plantesimals became the embryonic form of planets in our solar system today. As more asteroids and other planets collided with planet

moon was formed from the big impact. The first theory is the co-formation theory. The co-formation theory also know as the condensation theory‚ says that the moon was formed at the same time as the earth. The theory states that the solar system was formed out of the solar nebula. The co formation theory explains why the moon appears to be in the location it is in. The weakness of this theory is because if the moon and the earth were condensed together the gravitational force of earth would have caused

What is Gliese 436b? Gliese 436b‚ also known as GJ 436b‚ is a Neptune-sized exoplanet‚ a planet that orbits a star outside the solar system‚ which orbits the red dwarf Gliese 436. Gliese 436b was the first Neptune discovered with certainty in 2007. It was among the smallest known transiting planets in mass and radius‚ until the much smaller Kepler exoplanet discoveries began in 2010. Gliese 436b was discovered in August 2004 by R. Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institute of Washington. Also‚ Geoffrey
