The Planet Mars In 1659 By Christian Huygens

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

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System.

Mars is a rocky body about half the size of Earth. Like Earth, Mars experiences seasons because of the tilt of its rotational axis, so its distance to the sun changes, according to NASA (n.d.). Telescope observations show water-iced clouds, polar ice, and volcanoes. Mars has the largest Volcanic Mountain in the solar system, named the Olympus Mons and has two moons in its orbit.

Mars is a very interesting planet it has many mysteries that we humans are trying to figure out. Mars is the 4th planet from the sun. It is further away than Earth, this means the years are longer because it takes a longer time to circle the sun. An Earth year is 365 days long. A Mars year is about twice that and is 687 years long. Mars is also way colder than Earth. This is caused by the distance away from the sun. The average temperature on Mars is about -80 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Mars, the red planet, has craters, volcanoes, and canyons. In addition, Mars has Olympus Mons, the largest volcano

This was only the start of this international debate, Le Verrier had contacted the London Guardian, a local news group, about the accusations and stated that, “When he scrupled not to put into print that my calculations were not sufficient to command his confidence, did he not perceive that he was bringing discredit on his own scientific penetration, when he attacked a calculation … Among men of science of different countries, there ought to remain only that friendly rivalry, which, as leading to the benefit of science, so far from hindering, does but cement, the frank and brotherly friendship of those who cultivate it.” (Le Verrier, 1846a). To this, Herschel had responded saying that, “The prize (the discovery of Neptune) was by all rules accredited to Le Verrier since his research was documented and brought to light before Adams discovery”. Almost seeming to assure the people of France that Le Verrier was sure to be given credit to the discovery, however Herschel meant nothing of the sort. He himself wrote directly to the editor of The Guardian stating, “These Frenchmen fly at one like wildcats.” (Herschel, 1846a).

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

For this project I chose the smallest of Mars’s two moons, Deimos. It was discovered on August 11, 1877, although could have been around a lot longer but the planet’s glare kept both moons hidden from discovery. Deimos and Phobos were both named after Greek god sons, as were most planets and their moons in our solar system. Deimos is lumpy and potato- like in shape, only being about 7.8 miles in diameter.

This leads me to the obvious contrast in terms of the treatment and view of women in terms of Catholicism in that women were seen as the “cause of humanity’s downfall” as well as a means of redemption with Mary as Christ’s mother (Goffen 1). Eve is condemned and Mary is described as “highly favored” (Luke 1:28). This leads many to wonder which depiction of the woman is correct, which is most common, and whether or not there is a medium between that of praise and condemnation. These must have been some of the questions many artists struggled with answering when depicting women in their art since they must simultaneously grapple with this dichotomous view of them.

Sandro Botticelli’s Venus and Mars is a tempera and oil painting on poplar panel, illustrating a scene from the classical mythology story of Venus and Mars, who are engaging in a love affair with each other. The painting was made during the Renaissance, around 1485. It’s dimensions are 69.2 × 173.4 cm and it is currently located at The National Gallery in London, room 58 (Nationalgallery.org.uk, n.d.)

Dramatic Symbolism Symbolism is a device in which an object, person or situation is given another meaning beyond its literal one; usually something more abstract or non-rational than the symbol itself. The apocalyptic literary style came to be filled with dramatic symbolism; the context of a vision or a series of visions told with exaggerated symbols. Animals usually represented nations; therefore, horns represented either power or a person who exercised power; namely a ruler. Colors were important, especially white (victory), red (war), and black (the lack of something; peace, food, health, etc.).

Jupiter Aus Die Planeten Op. 32 composed by Gustav Holst is a very powerful composition. This piece is consisted of woodwinds, brass, percussion and strings. The Planets transport listeners into a universe of mystery and fascination. As it starts it makes people think of every space based show they have ever watched. The experience is like going through space on a spaceship in shows like Star Wars and star trek. It as the song progressed it felt as though there was a battle in space. Listening to The Planets while in the dark illuminates the mind to the sun, asteroids, planets, moons and other stars. I can see asteroids flying by me as I close my eyes and try to imagine.

Mars has two moons. Their names are Phobos and Deimos. They are made of carbon-rich rock mixed with ice and are covered in dust and loose rocks. They have creators all over from meteorites hitting them. They are much smaller than Earth’s moon and are shaped irregularly since they don't have enough gravity to pull themselves into a more circular shape.

Mercury, named after the Roman God of Thievery, Commerce, and Travel, is the first planet from the Sun. It is unique because it shows at both morning rise and evening set of the sun. It is rocky, heavily cratered, covered in boulders, and also pulverized dust. The majority of it's surface bears a strong resemblance to that of Earth's moon. It's lack of atmosphere causes wild temperature fluctuations. Temperatures can range from 90 kelvin to 700 kelvin thus creating a planet, from all observations, that cannot sustain life--it is geologically dead. Mercury also has a magnetic field generated by the planet's core that can deflect solar wind and which has a magnetosphere that changes. This was surprising for such a slow rotating planet--one that rotates completely every 88 Earth days.

The production of melatonin is highly dependent on light stimulus received by the retina. Excessive light exposure, both natural and artificial, during the primary hours of melatonin production can lead to a restless night because not enough melatonin is produced by the pineal gland to initiate and maintain healthy sleep patterns. With the use of handheld devices that emit artificial light on the rise, more people are experiencing decreased quality of sleep due to late sleep onset. The introduction of melatonin supplements and ramelteon may be necessary for some individuals in order to return to homeostasis. However, its effectiveness could vary depending on time and amount taken.
