Asteroid belt

the outer or inner most part of the solar system and to earths celestial neighbors can prove vital in terms of research. Currently every element that humanity knows about has been found on earth, brought to earth by interstellar visitors such as asteroids, or were only observed being created due to a supernova of stars. As a result of travelling to celestial satellites we may discover new elements, not native to earth. For example, Dobransky said in an article posted in the International Journal of

around the world. Recent close calls with NEOs have caused many to put a great deal of effort into cataloging and studying all NEOs. Near-Earth Objects are objects that cross or nearly cross the orbit of the Earth. NEOs are typically comets and asteroids that, because of gravity from other nearby planets, have had their orbits changed so that it intersects with Earth’s. There are a wide variety of different types of NEOs, with different levels of threat to Earth. An object is officially an NEO if

When Independence Day hit theaters in 1996, it generated immense buzz stemming from its mind-blowing visual effects – the most prominent of which depicted an alien space ship annihilating the White House, along with other notable global landmarks. The film would go on to be a monster hit, and to a degree, it has managed to withstand the test of time – at least 20 years later. After such a lengthy gap, the sequel to ID4 is another production that leaps into the frying pan that enflames the debate

that happened in earth's history was the sudden extinction of the dinosaurs by an extremely large asteroid the same fate could happen today causing almost every one and thing to die. NASA is investigating a project called DE-STAR or Directed Energy System for Targeting of Asteroids and exploRation, the experts at the UCSB Experimental Cosmology Group state “DE-STAR is a proposed system to deflect asteroids, comets, and other near-Earth objects (NEO) that pose a credible risk of impact. The objects that

When addressing the concern of an asteroid impacting the Earth, it should be noted that the probability of a continent-destroying asteroid is slim to none in the near future. It should also be addressed that approximately ten asteroids enter Earth's atmosphere per year, each being about the size of a fridge, but are burned up quickly and would not be big enough to heavily crater or harm anything on the surface. In the past 1000 years, there also have been no record of a human dying due to meteorite

Originally there were two brothers ,Rigel and Deimos. Rigel, the God of stars, and Deimos, the God of the planets, battled for the right to claim the sun as their own. The sun was not just another empty void waiting to be filled with life, it was the most beautiful thing ever to exist. The radiant sun was in fact a woman an oddity. Her name was Melea. Rigel wanted the sun as a star and Deimos wanted it as a planet. Deimos wanted to cripple Rigels power so he created a black hole to absorb his stars

became extinct. My First theory is the Asteroid Impact Theory. I choose this theory because it has a lot of evidence suggesting that this is one way that the dinosaurs became extinct. The asteroid that hit 65 million years ago was approximately 6-15km in diameter, hit the earth with the force of five billion atomic bombs. The crater of that asteroid was 180km in diameter, was found buried at Chicxulub in Mexico in 1990 (Oxford Big Ideas, 2012). That Asteroid wiped out three-quarters of a species of

How would you feel if you found out that Jupiter is more than just a planet for Earth? Jupiter is Earth’s gas protector. It protects Earth from incoming comets by breaking them apart with its enormous gravity. Jupiter’s gravity is 2.4 times stronger than Earth’s gravity. (The world book encyclopedia of science). In the past, Jupiter has torn apart comets and sucked them into its atmosphere. Comet SHOEMAKER-LEVY in 1994 was coming straight for Earth until Jupiter intercepted its path and with its

It was a bright sunny day in Pumpernickel Africa John Cena just woke up. He had an big day ahead of him, he was going over to Shrek's place with Bear Grills but to get there was a long journey. It was almost time to go so John Cena and Bear Grills got packed for the journey and set off in the space ship. The packed apples and oranges for food incase they got hungry so they had a couple and let auto pilot take over. After about 10 minutes after launch a warning hazard came on. All of a sudden the

fundamental laws of space. There needs to be an increase in funding for NASA so they can conduct research to understand Earth as well as the rest of the celestial bodies in space. By comprehending the objects in space, they can be utilized. Mining asteroids could lead to a new-found source of material that could provide resources that are not easily accessible. Their research helps in exploring space, working towards the point of traversing space to inhabit other worlds. People generally have favorable
