Reflection Paper On Saturn

1. The earth’s sun is a star, it generates heat and light through nuclear fusion.

Have you ever wondered how the planets got their names? By comparing the characteristics and stories of gods with that of planets, the mystery behind the names of the planets will be unveiled.

Did you know that Jupiter not only has 63 moons and the largest of these moons is bigger than Mercury? Or that the temperature on Jupiter can range from -234 to 43,000 degrees Fahrenheit? Jupiter is a complex and extraordinary planet with many interesting features. It is the fifth planet away from the sun, has a noticeable red spot and a strong magnetic field. This planet also happens to be one of the five planets in the solar system labeled a gas giant. Along with Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn and is composed mostly of gases. Jupiter is specifically made up of hydrogen and helium. One of the largest in the solar system, is composed of many different layers, and turns on its axis quicker causing shorter days.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the largest planet in the solar system. It has a mass of more than twice the size of the rest of the planets and about eighty times more massive. To be put into perspective compared to our planet Earth, there would need to be eleven Earths lined up next to each other in order to stretch from one side of Jupiter to the other. We would also need about three hundred and seventeen Earths to equal the mass of Jupiter. Jupiter is mostly made up of hydrogen and helium and has four main moons- Lo, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto- as well as many other smaller moons. It is also the fastest moving planet, making a day less than ten hours and it takes approximately twelve Earth years. Jupiter also has the strongest magnetic field of all planets, the gargantuan.

Saturn has fascinated society for hundreds of years being the only planet whose rings are visible from Earth. Because of its distance from the Earth, exploration was not possible until the age of robotic spacecraft. Previous studies of Saturn and its surroundings were limited to data from flybys (Lebreton & Matson 2002). The Cassini Huygens mission consisted of a combination of an orbiter and a probe to fully explore the Saturnian system.

Saturn is one of the most interesting planets in the solar system. It is the sixth planet in the solar system, and is most famous for its stunning array of rings. It is a very easy planet to pick out in the sky because it is one of the brightest lights in the shy. It also has a very faint greenish color that makes it stand out from the rest of the objects in the sky (“Astronomy for Kids”). Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter being the only planet that is bigger. It also has at least eighteen moons, more than any other planet in the solar system. There have been three voyages to this extraordinary planet, and one is still in process today. The Pioneer II traveled to Saturn in September of 1979,

SATURDAY Ruled by the Roman God of the harvest and planting. In Roman mythology, Saturn is the god of agriculture, New starts and firmly planting your seeds of intention or good focuses on Saturday. Saturday in English derives from “Saturn’s day” which was taken from the Latin, “dies Saturni”. Saturn was a Roman god and, over different periods of time, associated with wealth, plenty, and time. The day in Spanish and French (“sabado” and “samedi” respectively) was named simply as it is the Jewish Sabbath- “sabado” deriving from the Latin “sabbatum”, meaning “Sabbath”, and “samedi” deriving from the Old French “samedi”, which in turn comes from the Latin “dies Sabbati”, meaning “Day of the Sabbath”. Dedicated to the shadowy Anglo-Saxon god Saetere,

Over two billion km (19.2 AU) from the sun, Uranus hangs on the wall of space as a mysterious blue green planet. William Herschel, who discovered Uranus on March 13, 1781, said, "I have looked further into space than ever human being did before me." Uranus is the third largest planet in our solar system. It has been described as the planet that was slugged a few billion years ago by a large on-rushing object, knocked down(never to get up), and new proceeds to roll around an 84-year orbit on its belly.In Greek mythology, Uranus is the first lord of the universe. Other than being a gas giant, Uranus has a very ordinary physical description, gravity, and many moons.

They are similarities. All have dates and facts. For example in “The Mysteries of Saturn” it states, “in July 2004 the Cassini spacecraft entered Saturn’s orbit and began to collect valuable information” In “Cassini Mission” it states, “in December 2004 a probe was dropped into Titan’s atmosphere. Then the leader began gathering data.” According to the illustration the first picture of Earth, Mars, Venus, and Saturn together was taken by the Cassini in 2013. All of this information was gathered using improved technology.

A person with Capricorn as their Ascendant must consider the astrological position of Saturn. If Saturn is in Taurus and House III, the governing responsibilities and limitations of Saturn will augment the persistency and pragmatism of Taurus. In combination, these forces will affect this individual’s communication skills and social diversity of House

Space Travel is very detailed and describes very greatly the trip to Saturn of Bowman’s crew and Floyd’s trip to TMA-1.

W.G. Sebald’s novel The Rings of Saturn explores the relationship between toleration and persecution through a first person narrative. The novel is preoccupied with loss and the ways we have tried to come to terms with mortality. It is a meditation on the destructive nature of history, the human lives affected, and the restorative power of art. However, his work is not simply a record of these human-induced catastrophes, but also attempts to fashion new representational tools for the purpose of acknowledging and coming to terms with the realities of modern human history. Sebald’s critcism tends to focus on the biographical and psychological backgrounds of the writers he mentions. He draws heavily on the canon of twentieth-century Marxist thought, including works from Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. His complex thesis draws specifically on their work The Dialectic of Enlightenment. The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that spread through Europe during the eighteenth century, which involved a radical change in the way that philosophers and others understood the role of reason. It valued independent thought and promoted reason to a higher status and for some came to replace faith. Intrinsic in Sebald’s work is the idea that the Enlightenment project was programmed by violent distrusts of the non-identical and a coercive desire to eliminate otherness. Specifically, Sebald draws on Horkheimer and Adorno’s critique of civilization articulated in The Dialectic of the

Most bodies in the solar system that display a solid surface will show evidence of craters. Many craters are apparent on bodies with no atmosphere such as Mercury or our Moon. Erosion and weathering have removed most of the evidence of craters here on Earth. Most asteroids follow simple circular orbits between Mars and Jupiter and are occasionally agitated by each other or more regularly by Jupiter, however, comets can often come too close to the Earth and other major bodies due to their highly elongated orbits (California Institute of Technology). Over time, every planet or moon has found itself in the wrong place in its orbit at the wrong time and has suffered a major impact. Multitudes of small debris the size of pebbles or grains of sand beat the Earth every day but we are protected by the Earth’s atmosphere. Several times a month small asteroids are spotted passing between Earth and the Moon’s orbit. Very small fragments of asteroids and comets called meteoroids hit the Earth’s atmosphere and explode practically every day causing the bright meteor events we see at night. Over the next 100

How much we, as Americans, have developed through the years. This article showed people Saturn up close and its multiple rings. It acknowledged the fact that we know more about Saturn than we ever have thanks to Cassini. We have more data and information on it that could lead to huge breakthroughs in future scientific observations on space and extraterrestrial bodies. Although this article talks about the pros of the satellite, it never actually confirmed any issues or troubles scientists or Cassini experienced. In a similar article about Cassini, given in the point of view of a scientist who was part of Project Manager, it talks about how these missions don’t last forever. Every spacecraft eventually runs out of fuel and there’s nothing scientists can do about that. The group of planetary scientists who participated in Project Manager thought it was only fair after 13 successful years that Cassini go out “in a blaze of glory...see what no one has seen before” (“Cassini was the mission of a lifetime for this NASA scientist” 2017).Once the mission was over, the team of scientists disbanded and a few submitted proposals for other missions concerning the Saturnian

Stepping upon a simple stage was the best thing I could have ever done. Overseeing the multitude that was there to witness my every word, every tremble, every emotion, and every heart beat, was then that I realized that the sentiment was real. It was essentially the end of time and I could not bear to hold back what I no intentions of doing. Cry. Tears of joy darted down my face as I walked across the stage and received my ultimate gift. With fancy inscription, my gift was entitled “Class of 2009”. I had just graduated.
