Mars, the Red Planet
A number of things have been attributed to the red planet in contemporary times, much of it is research based, some cartoon based. One’s childhood could have been filled with various science fiction novels about humanity colonizing the red planet or watching Bugs Bunny outsmart the Martian and his dog.
Regardless of how you know the red planet, it does not change what is known about the red planet and what it continues to unveil the longer we study it. What we know thus far and the images of late of Mars, can be seen on NASA’s webpage where you can even take a tour of the planet.
New Information about Mars’ Lake
Space news is always exciting to keep up to date with as there is always something new to read almost every
The following is a case study of a lesson by Mr. Villanueva reviewing lessons on the planet Mars for an upcoming test. Mr. Villanueva uses many different ways of incorporating both semantic memory and episodic memory as well as the demonstration of long-term memory in his lesson. During the lesson, the importance of attention in memory and recall is seen throughout. This paper describes and inspects the Mars in Review case and what theories were incorporated into this lesson. It critically examines each aspect of this lesson and the correlation between behaviorist theories of learning.
Jupiter is the largest and the fastest spinning planet in our solar system. The storm on Jupiter known as the Great Red Spot could swallow up the entire Earth. Jupiter is made primarily of hydrogen and helium and has no solid surface. Its atmosphere resembles that of the sun. Stathopoulus (2000 – 2011), “ Sixteen moons have been identified, with Ganymede noted as the largest - it is bigger than both Mercury and Pluto” (Facts about Jupiter, para. 9).
“Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Named after the Roman god of War, and often described as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance.” (23/10/14 http://space-facts.com/mars/)
20. Although it is much colder on Mars than on Earth, the similar tilt of Earth’s and Mars’ axes means they have similar seasons. Like Earth's, Mars’ north and south polar caps shrink in the summer and grow in the winter. In addition, a day on Mars is 24 hours 37 minutes—nearly the same as Earth’s. No other planet shares such similar characteristics with Earth.e 21. Mars’ seasons are twice as long as those on Earth because it takes Mars 687 days to orbit the sun, twice as long as Earth’s 365-day journey.a 22. With no large moon like Earth’s to stabilize it, Mars periodically tilts much more toward the sun, creating warmer summers on Mars than it otherwise would have.d 23. The Earth’s moon is 240,000 miles away. Earth’s next closest neighbor is Venus, which comes as near as 24 million miles. After the moon and Venus, Mars is our next closest neighbor at 34 million miles away—though when Mars and Earth are at the opposite sides of their orbits around the sun, they are separated by 249 million miles.e 24. Mars is home to Hellas, a vast and featureless plain that covers 1300 miles (the size of the Caribbean Sea). It was created by asteroids crashing into the planet’s surface of Mars
Recently, I have read Mars is Heaven (MIH) by Ray Bradbury and The Machine Stops (TMS) by E.M. Forster, which are both short story Sci- Fi books and a fascinating read. Both stories were published in the 1900’s and there are similarities between today’s society and the society of the past. Intriguing concepts, theories and ideas stem from both of these books. Much like in (TMS) the role of technology is seen as a god, today we could never see ourselves worshipping at our mobile phones however if you really think about it we check our phones a couple of times a minute. Is this a form of worship? And are we aware that it is evolving into something that is taking over our lives completely. After reading both novels I have decided to identify, analyze, dissect and expand on a range of critical approaches both authors have used in their books (MIH) and (TMS).
Did you watch The Martian in the movie theaters? It’s hard to make the distinction between science fiction and reality. This paper is dedicated to describing the geology of Mars in reference to our own planet. How do the two planets relate? On a fun note, is there any point in going to Mars? In conclusion, with the power of research, this paper will unlock the mystery surrounded with the geology of Mars.
Mars inhabits Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in the Solar
You may be thinking this is all another alien inspired theory. After all, data from a bunch of hung-over grad students and researchers at the E.T. institute doesn’t sound too solid. However, they may be on to something. NASA recently confirmed that Mars might be recovering from an ice age that ended roughly 400,000 years ago. Data from the NASA Mars Orbiter suggests that the Red Planet poles were once covered in massive amounts of ice. And these ice caps have been thawing since. This makes the Martian planet quite similar to Earth. It also would support the recent research of marshland on the Red Planet as well.
For countless decades, speculations have been made on the possibility of life on Mars. There have been questions of pictures taken from Mars and skepticism about why some of the recent landings have failed. Scientists, until now, have been doubtful about life on Mars. The reason being is because of the similarities it has to our planet; from the volcanoes, and canyons to the weather, different seasons, and even the amount of time in a day. But throughout all of these speculations, what does research have to say on the possibility of life on Mars? Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is the second smallest planet in the solar system. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars is also often described as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide. It’s polar diameter is 6752 km with an orbit distance of 227,943,824 km. Even though Mars has only 15% of the Earth’s volume and just over 10% of the Earth’s mass, around two thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered in water.
Mars is an interesting and mysterious planet. It is often referred to as the Red Planet. The Romans named Mars after the god of war. The rocks, soil, and sky all have a red hue on account of rust. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun at about 141 million miles (228 million kilometers) and the last terrestrial planet from the Sun. Mars follows closely behind Earth but is comparatively smaller, with about half the diameter of Earth (6,794-km) and about one-tenth of Earth s mass (6.419 x 1023 kg). Thus the force of gravity on Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Mars is probably the planet we know the most about since it is so close to Earth, though what we know now is not even close to everything about the planet. Over
There is tons of research being done right now, and research that has already been done in the past, which has contributed in exploring and learning more about Mars. NASA is attempting to advance the human race even more, and is continuing to provide for the United States. NASA is planning important missions that will advance our understanding of Mars further, and their current rover, Curiosity, is greatly contributing to exploration of the planet.
Mars is like Venus it is very bright and therefore easily spotted in the night sky. Mars was discovered by christian Huygens he saw a big red planet it was first called Syrtis Major many people liked Mars, they started to make movies about it and made this alien up called "Martians"
If we consider Mars as one of our options, we should investigate more about the health challenge that we might face on the red planet. As some investigation has shown, less gravity can make the human immune system weaker. Having a weaker immune system can be very dangerous, because if bacteria infected humans during this period, it can cause catastrophic damage and/or even death. This will add more concern about the possibility of moving to Mars, because more technology would be needed to sustain humans and protect their life on the Red Planet. Stronger and more effective vaccines will be needed to keep humans healthy to prevent them from getting sick. This method would be very necessary since human immune system won’t be able to fight back
Areopolis Mars, 2035, A Gorg family are planning an escape from the Alien Zoo. A mother of two, Prim and Aries and her husband Niry, are going to board the Delta Airship to fly to another planet, Earth. The Gorgs are not welcome at Areopolis, that’s why they got captured and got thrown in a prison cell. As the Alien guards walk by, the key for the jail cells falls out off one of the guards back pocket. Luckily, the guards didn’t notice and it wasn’t far from the Gorgs jail cell, so Aries with the long arms grabs the keys and quickly gives it to papa.
Scientists have ideas of how we could live there. We have the technology, but it’s getting there and staying there that’s the problem. Other planets should be considered to explore, for it would give everyone a different perspective on how we would live differently than how we do on Earth. “Today, experts believe it’s no longer a question of if we’ll ever set foot on the Red Planet, but when,” says Laurie Vazquez. Although we are nomadic
