Astronomers Lab Report

understanding of the universe was greatly influenced, arguable on accident. Two radio astronomers discovered something unusual, not with their eyes, but with their ears.  Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson essentially heard the buzz that the universe was echoing into their headphones, but they could not wrap their head around what it was. The two scientists were bewildered by the odd humming sound that was picked up by their labs horn antenna and they had no idea the significance of what they were listening

what the planet’s materials are made out of and what types of weather patterns happen on the different planets. Other scientists can choose a different path where they use their own means to conduct their research, like working in their own private labs or renting equipment to use for the purpose of studying their exact field of scientific interest. Then there are people who didn’t go to school to get an educational degree specializing in science, but have an intense fascination with certain

become an atmospheric scientist or “ meteorologist”, one must first understand the job description, education needed, salary, and opportunity for advancement. The daily life of a meteorologist consists of reporting on the weather and delivering those reports to the media such as radio, television, etc. meteorologist also spend a great amount of time creating maps and graphics to show weather conditions, in order to show the weather in a simple, easy manner. Also the day in the life of a meteorologist

Conference of Science Journalists in South Korea when he said that the trouble with “girls” working in science is that “three things happen when they are in the lab…You fall in love with them, they fall in love with you and when you criticize them , they cry.” In his speech Hunt continued on to say that scientists should work in gender segregated labs. When addressing the abundant backlash for his previous statements his exact words were “I’m really sorry that I said what I said. But what I said was quite

The Kepler Mission (NASA Discover mission #10) is designed to survey a portion of the Milky Way galaxy to discover Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of our galaxy’s billions of stars have such planets. Results from this mission will allow the placing of our solar system within the continuum of planetary systems in the galaxy. The scientific objective of the Kepler Mission is to explore the structure and diversity of planetary systems. This is achieved by surveying

Laboratory Research Report 1: Procedures in the Physical Sciences Hebert Duran Strayer University SCI 110, Kung Craig P. 29 April 2013 Identify three (3) specific challenges to making direct measurements in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, physics, or earth science. Describe how scientists have utilized indirect forms of measure to overcome these challenges Since the ancient times people have always been attracted to the unknown. Humans have always been curious about everything they

“In gaining knowledge, each area of knowledge uses a network of ways of knowing.” Discuss this Statement with reference to two areas of knowledge. “I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Forknowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.” - Albert Einstein The above lines were quoted by Albert Einstein which states the

People have been claiming alien abductions since the late 1950’s. Disturbing reports of strange beings and painful operations have been around for decades creating a mysterious and disconcerting feeling in people everywhere. Whether we’re talking about greys or Reptilioids, some people are still conflicted about the existence of other intelligent life forms. Cattle mutilations, UFO sightings throughout history, and even UFO and alien images in ancient art all over the world is often common knowledge

atomic particle in the accelerator labs. Other areas like Biology and Chemistry are still developing techniques for the Big Data Analytics. In the study the Big Challenges of Big Data Vivien Marx wrote, “Biologists are joining the big-data club. With the advent of high-throughput genomics, life scientists are starting to grapple with massive data sets, encountering challenges with handling, processing and moving information that were once the domain of astronomers and high-energy physicists” (Marx

How Big Data and Kaggle are changing the world? “I keep saying the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians. People think I’m joking, but who would’ve guessed that computer engineers would’ve been the sexy job of the 1990s? The ability to take data—to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it—that’s going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades, not only at the professional level but even at the educational level for
