Uranus And Gaia Research Paper

The creation of the gods starts with chaos and from the chaos came the endless gods: Eros, Tartarus, and Gaea (Love, hell, and the earth). Gaea created Uranus, the first ruler of the sky and Eros

According to Greek mythology, the world began as a lonely place with only a god by the name of Chaos. Out of the emptiness came along Erebus. Erebus alongside with Night came from a darker much lonelier and quiet place. Order only began to take place when Love was born and with Love came light which is Gaea, also known as Earth.

In the beginning, Gaea was formed out of Chaos, a deep pit in the underworld. She later made Uranus, the god of the sky and mated with him to make the Cyclopes, Giants and finally, the titans. The youngest of the titans, Cronus overthrew his father Uranus and started a family with his sister Rhea. Together, they had Hestia the goddess of the hearth, Demeter the goddess

In the beginning of time there was Chaos. He was a Unicat, a cross between a cat and a unicorn. He was the god of all unicats that lived. He became lonely while sitting in the Heavens so he decided to make a wife that was also a Unicat, whose name was Creation. Both Chaos and Creation had children together, a pair of cats named Death and Despair, and a pair of Unicorns named Gaia and Prospero. Chaos was confused, but Creation loved her children nonetheless.

In the Ancient Greek religion there were 12 Gods. These 12 Gods controlled their everyday lives. Although, three of the most powerful Gods were Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Greek’s believed these three brothers held the most power, after all they are the sons of Cronus, the greatest Titan that ever lived. Each of these Gods played important roles in the Greek’s lives.

In the beginning there was Chaos (not disorder) and from Chaos came Gaia (Earth) and Eros (Sexual Attraction) who birthed Erebus (darkness of the underworld), Nyx (night), Uranus (sky) and Pontus (sea).When each of those Titans were born their power is new, for example when Nyx was born so was the night. The most important Titan came from Uranus and Gaia who had Cronus (father of the Olympians) when Gaia had each one of her children Uranus grew more and more jealous that when their children were born he would shove them back into the womb. When Gaia grew uncomfortable with her womb full of children, she planned Cronus’s demise; she made an iron sickle and gave it to Cronus who was still in the womb. During intercourse between the two

Cronus ( also spelt Kronus, Kronos, and Cronos) was the God of all time and son of Earth (Gaia) and Sky (Uranus). He is often described as being a “...wily, crafty, devious, devising” ruler. Cronus ruled during what was known as the mythological Golden Age which was the first group of all mortals to be living on Earth.

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.

There are four gas giants, Neptune and Uranus included. Gas giants are made up of a dense, rocky core with far extended atmospheres. Neptune's center is thick and compressed, with a more shallow atmosphere; resulting in a smaller diameter. Because of its heavy core, the planet has a much larger mass, even though other gas giants may have a greater circumference. Uranus's atmosphere is much more extensive than Neptune's. The gas giants are measured from the furthest point of their atmosphere. Aside from the large diameter, Uranus's core is smaller in size, resulting in a smaller mass.

In 1781 William Herschel, discovered the planet we know today as Uranus. Herschel, who had been raised in a musical family, was an amateur astronomer who enjoyed charting the sky in sections each night. Herschel used his skills in music to fund his passions for astronomy and building telescopes. Through his nightly charting, Herschel discovered Uranus. Initially, Herschel thought it was a comet because of its slightly askew shape, however upon further exploration he found it to be a planet. Herschel confirmed his discovery by contacting Nevil Maskelyne. Maskelyne was the astronomer royal. Herschel named the planet ‘Georgium Sidus’ after King George III. France would not use the name, calling the

I chose this topic because I have always loved astronomy and looked up in to the night skies. The discovery of planet Uranus was an accident because when William Herschel first saw it, he thought it was a comet. He also believed very strongly in the possibility of extra-terrestrial intelligent life, and he spent many nights with his telescope watching the Moon, Sun, and the planets for signs of it. Prior to his discovery most cultures only had knowledge of the planets we call Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These five objects were first called planets by the Greeks; planet was the Greek word for wanderer. He wrote of this new finding to astronomers in London but they couldn't see it at first. But eventually the supposed comet was

The discovery of Uranus in March of 1781 by William Herschel marked a pivotal point in history. It was the first planet in the modern era to be discovered. Previously, the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were all discovered by the Romans and Greeks. Earth was not considered a planet at that time because it was believed that everything revolved around Earth. Herschel used the previous works of other astronomers, namely John Flamsteed, who thought that Uranus was just a part of a constellation which he cataloged as the star 34 Tauri. This discovery was the first planet identified by the use of a telescope. Since Uranus is difficult to see with the naked eye it was wondered if Uranus was a comet, star, or a planet. Many did

The topic that I chose was the discovery of Uranus by William Hershel. I found this topic to be interesting since we are talking about astronomy a lot. Uranus was originally thought to be just a star. later on with help from telescopes William Hershel discovered that it was not a start but a gas planet. Later on this gas planet was named Uranus having to do with the Greek mythology. It was supposed to be for one of the kings of England but the scientist William decide that it would be better if it went wit the name Uranus. It is also called the seven planet from the sun in modern times. I believe that the motivation for this discovery was just trying to figure out what is in our solar system. the significance of this discover led

illiam Herschel discover the planet Uranus is 1781. He was greatly interested in the universe and seeing what no one else could see. He was intrigued by the human eye calling it the “most extraordinary organ.” (Schaffer, S 1981) As his curiosity and knowledge began to grow bigger and bigger he began to search further and further. He made a new telescope that could see things further and react to light differently. He then was able to discover that there was in fact another planet in our growing solar system, Uranus.

Long ago, before Man was created, there were only Gods and Titans. Uranus was the Titan that ruled everything. After a few millennia, he gave birth to triplets, Pluto, Jupiter and Neptune. When they were all grown up, they became all powerful gods. When Opis, the Gods’ Uncle was jealous of Uranus, so jealous that when at the celebration of the birth of triplets, Opis killed Uranus and when that happened the first planet, besides Earth was Uranus, to watch over the EArth forever. When Jupiter saw this, He screamed “ You don’t have the right to do that. You can’t kill my father” he challenged “ I challenge you to a battle to the death!”
