being learned about the Kuiper Belt showing us that it is an interesting part of our galaxy that may help us better understand how our solar system was formed. The existence of what became known as the Kuiper Belt was first suggested by astronomer Kenneth Edgeworth in 1943. He suggested that, comets and other larger bodies might exist past Neptune. Several years later in 1951, astronomer Gerard Kuiper predicted the existence of icy objects that formed a belt just beyond the orbit of Neptune

Earth does), that moon would be larger than Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Pluto, and all of these “planets” would have to be classified as asteroids. If Jupiter happened to have a moon half its own size (as Pluto does), that moon would be larger than all of the other planets except Saturn, and we would have a two-planet solar system with seven very large asteroids. The problems with this classification criterion are that they are arbitrary and non-general. Pluto is unlike the other planets in that

think a store or something like that, but no. They went up to people and took their belt buckles. You may be wondering what’s the big deal about that. Well, in Texas where they live, if you owned a big, gold, shiny belt buckle, you were considered royalty. Clayton and Oaklee had a reason behind it. It was due to the fact that even after years of

Waist pendants were an essential part of the Benin African culture. Benin was located in modern day Nigeria, and they had a very advanced culture with various resources. The Benin Kingdom mainly existed between the years 1440-1897 before the invasion from British soldiers, and is the capitol of the former Edo Kingdom. The city of Benin still exists today. The head of the Benin kingdom was called an oba, which translates to King, and was highly revered.1 Many brass and ivory carvings of the oba were

It seemed as he was rich with his gold plated belt buckle and the beautiful horses which to gorgeous women were standing near holding ropes that connected to the horses heads’. Then I heard what sounded like numbers then people raised their hand in the bunch of people below us. That went on for about five minutes, and the numbers stopped being yelled, and the man with the belt headed towards the deck approaching the stairs to get on the deck. He handed Davy some

light it would take 327 minutes to reach Pluto from Earth (google search 2016). It was the first object to be discovered in what would later be identified as the Kuiper belt. Discussion After decades of Pluto being a planet, astronomers began wondering whether Pluto might just be the first of many small, icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt (BBC news 2015). it wasn’t until

The Sandwich Factory A) The short story "The Sandwich Factory" is written by Jason Kennedy and deals with a man’s experiences doing a low-paid job at a sandwich factory. It tells the story of how the man needs to be able to deal with a lot of things about himself and other people, to do the work and concentrate about it. We get a very good insight into his situation, but it is very much marked by his personal thoughts about it, and therefore it becomes more or less useless for us to relate to

On January 19, 2006 NASA launched the New Horizon Space Probe from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. It soured into space via the Atlas-V rocket. The New Horizon Space Probe is part of the New Frontier Program which was developed in 2001. This program was designed to explore new frontiers via satellites in our solar system. The New Horizon Space Probe was sent into space to explore Pluto (at the time it was considered a planet) and its moons. By the time the probe reached Pluto the planet

New Horizons and Its Mission The New Horizons space probe is an interesting piece of technology. We’ve sent this probe into the depths of space, farther than any other probe has traveled. This probe survived the asteroid belt, is surviving the Kuiper belt, and it was able to complete it’s mission. We know more about Pluto now than we ever have. New Horizons will continue to explore space and send us discoveries that it has made. NASA uses a variety of rockets for every launch. The rocket New Horizons

Chapter 3 Conveyer System A system which is used for the mechanical handling of the material in industries is known as conveyer system. 3.1 Advantages There are many advantages of the conveyer system a few of which are explained below: Conveyer system is used for transfer the objects as in any industry if one machine is working speedily than other or number of operations of one is less than the other at that time to synchronize both the operating machines conveyers are designed which is also used
