Edson And The Planetarium Research Paper

The only planetary system that is known to man is our solar system. It is made up of nine planets. The nine major planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. There are also many other minor planets, which are also in our solar system, but they are unimportant compared to the nine major planets.

This piece is called, Mars Venus and Vulcan: The Forge of Vulcan, it is an oil canvas done by John Singleton Copley, done in 1754. The era that this piece most represents is the Eighteenth- and early nineteenth-centuries of art in Europe and North America. This is because of the brief use of nudity and the use of children that are shown as little angels. The artist also used a sense of time and motion. It is as if the figures in the piece are moving themselves. The use of 3-D and kinetics allows this sense of movement in this piece. Also the artist used repetition and rhythm. The viewer’s eye is constantly moving because of this sense of repetition and rhythm

What do you think we would do if someone from anther planet landed in the U.S and claimed it as his territory because he had discovered it? How would you feel about this?

The constellation I have chosen to write about is Orion. This is one of the most famous constellations in the night sky. I chose this one because as I stated, it is very famous, and because it is one of those constellations that I have seen many times. Orion is a hunter, so the constellation shows a man holding a club and shield. It is easily recognized by the three stars in a line that form the hunter's belt.

We learned about people who died right where we stood. We even got to reenact a famous battle, running through the fields like soldiers did many years before was exhilarating. After our tour we all felt very tired, well us kids did our parents, not so much. They all went to the bar and had a drink while us kids went to sleep. I stayed in a room with 2 friends and one adult. The adult that stayed with us in our room went to the bar like the others. Patience, Rylie, and I were alone in our room. When Rylie took a shower, Patience and I heard a doorbell. We both looked around checking our phones and outside the door to find out where the doorbell sound came from.  When Rylie came out of the bathroom, we told her what had happened. We were so scared because this town is supposed to be the most haunted place in America, and we heard a doorbell that apparently came out of nothing. None of the rooms, at this hotel, had doorbells. I can look back on it now and laugh because I figured out where the sound came from. I had brought my iPod touch so I could take pictures, and with the notification sounds on, my iPod seems to just make doorbell sounds without actually having a notification. My iPod scared us half to death. Of course I didn’t figure this out until after the end of the trip, so when I did figure it out I texted my friend and told her the story. We still laugh about it

The Venus of Willendorf was believed to be created 25,000 years ago, is none-freestanding sculpture and is sculpted out of oolitic limestone. The subject matter I believe it to convey a fertility figure for men and woman to gaze upon. The Venus of Willendorf is a none-freestanding female nude stature, which is an 11 centimeters high, made out of oolitic limestone and now resides in Naturhistorisches Museum. She was found in 1908 in Austria in a village called Willendorf. This small oolitic limestone figure representing a woman in the nude is believed to be created 25,000 years ago. The stature has been carved out of oolitic limestone and has been given a red ochre tint. I believe that Venus of Willendorf was created to represent fertility in

Planet Nine is a hypothetical large planet in the far outer Solar System, the gravitational effects of which would explain the improbable orbital configuration of a group of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) that orbit mostly beyond the Kuiper belt.

There is a great amount of variation between the Terrestrial planets. These planets differ in size, atmosphere, and temperature. The temperatures vary greatly in the Terrestrial planets. Average temperatures range from 900° F on Venus to -50° F on Mars, which happens to have the coldest temperatures out of all the Terrestrial planets. These colder temperatures are a result of differences in distance, atmosphere, and magnetic field.

Every year, NASA find hundreds of other planets. Usually, these "exoplanets" don't hold any major significance but scientists yesterday found one that might change that. The European Southern Observatory found a planet the size of Earth orbiting our closest star. This one is different than the rest meaning that a possibility of aliens is all but a reality.

I1 (done) : Now, with the earth being packed to the brim, we must journey into space, to find a new home, in another galaxy. However, it will be fraught with danger, so we must take every precaution. We believe we have found a suitable host for our species, homo sapiens. Although it's over four million years away, we believe we are very close to a breakthrough on near lightspeed travel. Soon, the human race will be able to fly among the stars, and turn the new world into a reservoir of human talent, to be drawn upon to further our universes knowledge.

The Kepler telescope helps discover planets beyond our solar system. NASA launched Kepler in March 2009. The telescope, which is about 9 feet in diameter and 15.3 feet in height, now orbits the sun every 371 days. It observes 100,000 stars in a portion of our Milky Way galaxy to check whether the planets revolve around the stars. Kepler is explicitly looking for planets that could support life. For this, the worlds must meet two conditions: they should be small enough to sustain life, which is about the size of Earth, and they should be in the "habitable zone" of their stars. In the habitable zone, conditions on the planet, such as temperature, would be accurate for the presence of liquid water, and possibly life forms. When an orbiting planet

What is a planet? While many people can point to a picture of Jupiter or Saturn and call it a "planet,"Planets change over time and can look different . Astronomers decided to have new definition in 2006 after the discovery of several worlds at the fringes of the solar system a decision that remains controversial. The term planet was from the Greek word for wonder. Ancient cultures adventured the stars. This is now called astronomy .But the study of earth is called geology . It was not until telescopes came out that we started to look at them in detail. There are nine planets all together. Telescopes also revealed the existence of objects not known to the ancients, because they are too far away and small to be spotted with the naked eye.

For thousands of years astronomers have been observing the skies in awe, discovering the complex facts of our Universe. From the uncovering of a Sun centered Solar System, to the theory of the constant expansion of the Universe, this quick astronomical research advancement has made it possible to dig even deeper into the complex state of our Universe. With this constant discovery of facts, there is one question that boggles many people’s minds: could there be life elsewhere in the Universe? In the following pages, I will expand on the subject of exoplanets, which are planets that orbit a star outside of our Solar System . For the purpose of this research paper, I will only concentrate the findings in our Galaxy, the Milky Way. I will expand on what exactly makes a planet habitable, on exoplanets, on goldilocks planets and on the research involved in finding planets with life.

Ever since I was a young child I was always intrigued by space. Just like many children I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. It was just fascinating to me to go off and explore. From a young age, I knew the Universe was infinite but tapped into the basic human instinct to explore. I would play with models, and use computer programs to look at planets and stars. I was given a telescope when I was ten or eleven for Christmas and became even more entrenched with space. It was just always fascinating to me and to this day it still is. That’s why when NASA announced that they had found seven exoplanets orbiting a star not too far away, called Trappist.

“Do you want to go the the planetarium with us this weekend?” my mom texted me in the middle of the week, “Sure,” was my reply but I was still unsure. I’ve lived in Anamosa my whole life and have only visited a handful of larger cities like Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, St. Paul...okay so maybe a little more than a handful, but that doesn’t matter. What I was worried about was the amount of people.
