Year 1 Astronomy

Have you ever considered that the moon may not be exactly what it seems to be? Science says that the moon was a result of the Earth colliding with another planet, causing a rocky mass to break free from the earth and be pulled into orbit by the force of gravity. Conspiracy theorists have considered the possibility that the moon may be something more than just a rocky mass orbiting the earth. A theory that has been created regarding our moon is called The Hollow Moon Theory. This theory tries to prove that the moon may just be a cover or a protective layer around an alien's UFO. It may be hard for some to go against scientific research, but there is a possibility that something other than a collision is responsible for the formation of our moon.

According to Socrates, a famous philosopher from Athens, Greece, "Man must rise above the Earth—to the top of the atmosphere and beyond—for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives." Socrates believes that astronomy can help other people understand the world better. Astronomy is the study of space, and in order for someone to to be an astronomer, they have to learn a lot of math and science and be good at it. Astronomy is not a big science field either, but there are a lot of different people employing for it. Astronomy helps people understand the world and that they are not the most important part of it, and that they are just a small part of it.

Through human history, mankind have been facing unanswered questions about the moon. It started out with the caveman looking up at the stars and especially the brightest object in the night sky, the moon. Then, when civilizations started to form, they tracked the movement of the moon to try to find its meaning or purpose. Earlier on the telescope was invented and some of the questions about the moon were answered. But it was not until the moon mission, that we fully understood the moon's purpose. The moon mission is one of America’s greatest accomplishments.

It has been said that astronomy is unique among branches of magic in that we can work with and learn from muggles as much as our fellow wizards. As a muggleborn, coming to Hogwarts with something recognizable on the schedule, astronomy, has been nice in a world of new and un recognizable things, however exciting they may be. I distinctly remember getting a telescope for Christmas when I was eight years old, and spent hours talking to my dad and studying the sky. The sky does not change depending upon if you are a wizard or muggle, and we are all in pursuit of more information about the amazing universe we live in. However, there are a few factors that are different regarding wizarding astronomy than muggle astronomy. As wizards we can use magic and magical equipment to see farther and more clearly. We can use these unique tools for more accurate

The Moon is numbered card 18 in a tarot deck and can be found following the hopes and wishes of the Star card. It signifies the instincts and intuitions, as well as hunches, feelings, and dreams. There is an unspoken feeling that the Moon also represents the female principle, which is ruled by the moon due to its cyclical nature. There is psychism here as well due to the moon being able to see all things. Things that are hidden from the waking world and the light are shown here, and the unknown is represented in the Moon as well as our animal instincts that is kept hidden during the day and from other

The moon is one of God’s most fascinating creations. It is responsible for so much more than most people realize. Man has studied the moon for thousands of years to try and understand its mysteries. These studies show that the moon is a very important resource for planet Earth. The moon affects Earth by providing light at night, controlling the tides, and by slowing our planet’s rotation.

The moon has had her woes brought forth, now the human race must choose for ourselves and ask this question: what truly happened to the moon? To that I say that one must decide for themselves. Let them believe what they want to

The moon is a very mysterious place. It has not yet been all discovered and there are many mysteries, questions, and concerns.

Scientists have been researching about outer space for years but still don’t know as much as one may think. Scientists still do not know much about the early solar system. Scientists believed that the solar system was reshuffled around in the past which would explain the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud of icy bodies, the inner planets being destroyed by asteroids and why there isn’t any super Earths around in this solar system. But scientists recently discovered something that may change their theory. In Michael D. Lemonick’s “Plant Nine from Outer Space,” Lemonick claims that scientists may have found a planet with ten times the mass of Earth that is beyond Pluto and may be the reason why objects from the Kuiper belt are following similar orbits

During the first decade of 1600, Astronomy advance very significantly, thanks to the invention of the optical telescope with which could study the night sky.

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.

First off the Moon is known to be tremendously huge in the human eye, yet it is only a quarter (3470 km) sized of the Earth. The Moon is the fifth largest moon and is the closest astronomical object to the Earth itself (PSCI 1054, Class Lecture, Motion). The Earth is recognized to have life on it and has many physical and chemical differences than the moon does. It is a known fact that the Earth orbits the sun and the Moon orbits the Earth. Chemical and physical changes can get confusing. For example when a person eats chocolate, digestion is a form of chemical change, but when the person chews it and breaks it down a physical change is at stake. The Moon and the Earth are both dramatically different in ways that may be explained due to research.

I am interested in researching animal behavior, animal science in general, ecology, and evolution. I believe all of these topics mesh together well. Combined they provide us with many answers about natural life and how our actions and the wildlife's own actions all relate.This area of research is important to me because of the idea of the cosmic year. In the duration of the cosmic year, humans have only inhabited the earth for the last minute of the last day of the year. On an even smaller scale, modern civilization has only inhabited Earth for the last 14 seconds of the cosmic calendar. With those 14 seconds, humans are held responsible for 95% of climate changes leading to the deterioration of many species both plants and animals of the past.

The telescope used on September 3rd, contains a lenses twelve inches in circumference, which makes it the second largest at the University of Northern Iowa’s campus. To determine the quality of a telescope, you measure the circumference of the lenses, and not the length. The wider the circumference of a telescope allows more light to enter, which allows a better quality of picture. This particular telescope can magnify by seventy-five. This lens was bought by the University of Northern Iowa twenty years ago for $5,000. It uses a computer system to track the stars and galaxies with the information about the date, time, and location the telescope

I am applying to SSP because I want to gain experience researching in a real-world setting and ii also want to broaden my scientific scope. The opportunity to research astrophysics is a fantastic one. Astrophysics is a very interesting subject and I would love the opportunity to spend my summer researching asteroids. Throughout my high school career, I have studied advanced physics and calculus courses. Being admitted to the Summer Science Program would allow me to apply the skills that I have learned over the past few years on a practical project. Additionally, I would enjoy the experience of working with other people from around the country. I want to learn the proper research technique and gain experience to help me in the future. Furthermore,
