    Galileo, Kepler and Newton altered classical interpretations of nature and challenged classical sources of knowledge in several different ways. Kepler published several different books and even came up with the three laws of planetary motion. The first law is the orbit of planets are ellipses with the sun at one focus. The second law is a line from the planets to the sun sweeps over equal areas in equal intervals of time. The third law states that the planets orbital period squared is proportional

    Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun with the third largest diameter in the entire solar system. Known as “The Ice Giant”, Uranus is very cold and windy. Because of this, it does not have a true structure. Uranus is essentially swirling fluids causing extreme pressures and temperatures to destroy any metal spacecraft that attempts to fly through Uranus’s atmosphere. Surrounded by 27 moons and 13 faint rings, it rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the planet of its orbit. With this in mind

    Holst’s: The Planets Suite. The piece as a whole is one that pulls the strings of your heart from the first pound to the last mystic moment of silence. It has been a year since I heard the orchestral piece in full, and ever since, I have been awaiting to get an opportunity like that again. It is unfortunately a rare occurance in my generation to feel so strongly about a piece of art. The world is at our fingertips, and yet we have no urge to explore it.

    Let’s discuss these two very similar planets, Uranus and Neptune, which can also be known as sister planets. Other than being called twin planets, or sister planets, they can also be referred to as ice giants. Yes, ice giants now that’s because they’re mostly ice that lack a deep hydrogen mantle. Being referred to as ice giants distinguishes them from Jupiter and Saturn which are known as gas giants. Uranus and Neptune are classified as Jovian planets because they’re bigger compared to Earth.

    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.

He believed that “The Planets” wasn’t his best works, though it was an immediate success. Along with the success of “The Planets” his work load and his stress levels also rose. In 1924 he was ordered to take a break, by his doctor, in the country where he could compose his music without any
