Comet

In The Comet, W.E.B DuBois juxtaposes the racial prejudices of American society in the 1920's with a post-apocalyptic human unity in order to critique the lack of foundation in systematic racism. A comet is believed to have wiped out society leaving alive only a white woman and a black man. Upon their first encounter neither Jim nor Julia had noticed each other’s skin color or societal position. As the characters look for survivors we see a back and forth battle between their double consciousness

The song I chose for the music and service learning project was Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley & His Comets, since it was one of the top songs during the 1950s. Some elements of the song is the genre, tempo, mood, dynamic, the structure, and instrumentation. The genre of this piece is rock and roll and rockabilly. This genre was typical of this time period of the 50s. The tempo of this piece seems to be fast but steady and its dynamics are a mixture of loud but soft. When I listen to the song

I. Summary After World War II, aircraft structures had to be redesigned to enable the use of turbojet power instead of piston engine power. After its first flight on February 15th, 1946, the DC-6 piston powered aircraft quickly became the workhorse for passenger aircraft. With a wingspan of one-hundred and seventeen feet, six inches, and a total length of one-hundred feet, seven inches, this airframe was able to hold roughly one-hundred and five individuals. For nearly ten years, the DC-6 was incomparable

Soon after being discovered, the comet, Shoemaker Levy 9 began to make it’s mark on Jupiter and even bigger impact on Earth. In 1994 a recently identified comet crashed into the gaseous surface of what we call Jupiter. Not only did this happen thirteen years ago, but we can still see evidence of the comet's impact to this day. In March of 1993 a small group of astronomers known for discovering many other comets laid eyes upon the soon to be Shoemaker Levy 9 comet. Their names being David Levy and

Shoemaker Levy 9(SL9) is a comet . On July 16th, 1994, twenty-three years ago now, this comet had crashed into Jupiter. Although this is when the crash had happened the comet, SL9, had been discovered a year before it had rammed into Jupiter, on the date of March 24, 1993. Shoemaker Levy 9’s collision with Jupiter had been the first seen on another planet other than our home planet itself, Earth. This impact that SL9 made on Jupiter actually lasted around six days and created “plumes” that were recorded

In How Yuji Hyakutake Found His Comet, he would go from his birthplace of Nagasaki Prefecture to Kagoshima Prefecture in Japan later in his life (Aguirre). Hyakutake unfortunately died on April 10, 2002 when he was at the age of fifty-one years old (“Yuji”). His death was due to internal

Shoemaker Levy 9 was a comet that struck Jupiter in 1994, marking the most spectacular end any human has ever witnessed. The collision, which happened months after its discovery, left visible marks that you could see from small telescopes on Earth.“This is the first collision of two solar system bodies ever to be observed, and the effects of the comet impacts on Jupiter's atmosphere have been simply spectacular and beyond expectations," said a source from NASA. The comet was first discovered by three

research In November of 2014. The Philae lander is a miniature probe that was dropped from the Rosetta spacecraft on to a comet to help scientists research the many wonders of comets. The Philae mission was crucial for scientific research because this mission helped scientists figure out and understand more about the early history of our solar system and they were able to take many comet samples. The history of our solar system is one topic that scientists were able to gain information on due to the

by Martin Lockheed for the NASA division for mission operations. It's designed to collect samples from comets and/or asteroids. The head investigator of this mission was Dr. Donald Brownlee from the University of Washington. The Stardust spacecraft mission, created by NASA was for the collection of sample materials from Comet Wild 2 and return them to earth for analysis. The analysis of the comet dust will provide important information into the nature and evolution of our solar system, and maybe life
