Comet

important because it it is discovering a comet. The mission was important because it was discovering something that is never been discovered, it is helping scientists figure out what our early solar system was like, and it could reveal the makeup of comets. The mission Philae is the first mission to get a spacecraft on a comet. This means scientist can learn more about comets. “ The probe, called the Philae lander, is the first spacecraft to set down on a comet.” This means that all of the pictures

launched the Rosetta spacecraft with the Philae lander on a 10 year trajectory towards the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko(67P). Comet 67P was not the planned destination for the Rosetta mission however, the mission was planned for comet Wirtanen(46P). However, due to the failure of the Hot Bird 7 launch, the mission had to be delayed until they determined the cause of the problem. The mission was set for a new comet, 67P. The Rosetta mission was deployed using an Ariane 5 rocket, built by the ESA and launched

One word. Slingshot!” I said. “I don’t know,” said Comet with a hoof cast on. “Come on, you got nothing to lose!” “Ok fine.” Comet said. As we walked towards the shed to get the slingshot, he asked me, “Why do you have a giant slingshot in your shed?” “Well it was supposed to be for an angry bird reenactment, but it got rained out so it was canceled.” “Oh,” said Comet. I pulled and pulled but it was stuck tight in the junk piled up in my dad’s garage. “We might

education and exceeded in classics, mathematics, and astronomy, leading him to the discovery of Halley’s comet. Edmund was always on the move. His life included many discoveries and achievements. Edmund Halley was born on November 8, 1656 in Haggerston, United Kingdom. He grew up in a wealthy family of merchants and soup broilers. As a child, Edmund grew to love astronomy after seeing two comets when he was eight years old.Throughout his education, he excelled in mathematics, classics, and astronomy

The above image was posted on April 28, 2016 as NASA’s image of the day. This is a dust angel nebula. A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas that is visible when light reflects off of it. This nebula is about 300 light-years away from our galaxy, and is a collection of cosmic dust clouds. The nebula gets the cloud-like display from light projected from the Milky Way which is then bounced off of the molecular clouds, where the dust releases UV radiation as a red light/orange light (Space, 2013). The

journal about the discovery that he made, he said that he had found a comet. He believed that he had found a comet, but he was also comparing it to a planet. So, William was wondering if what he found was a comet or if it was a planet. William Herschel wrote to Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne saying: “I don't know what to call it. It is as likely to be a regular planet moving in an orbit nearly circular to the sun as a Comet moving in a very eccentric ellipsis. I have not yet seen any coma or tail

Billions of years ago, a comet roughly 15 kilometers in size collided with the Earth. The collision resulted in the extinction of ninety percent of the species on earth, including the dinosaurs. For many years scientist have been working to solve the age old question, how did life originate on Earth? Many have come up with hypotheses ranging from evolution to extraterrestrial beings. However new evidence has come into light that the same comet that destroyed the dinosaurs could have been the starting

Solar eclipses provide a unique opportunity to observe the sun itself owing to the moon providing a clear view of the solar chromosphere. Observations of the sun during a solar eclipse lead to a variety of discoveries ranging from the discovery of elements to a deeper understanding of solar activities such as coronal mass ejections. The use of equipment in new ways allows scientists to make previously unimaginable discoveries as Pierre Jansen discovered in 1868 while observing the sun. With the knowledge

One day in a milky way at comet 715 there were two aliens Alien Poli and Alien Moli. Alien Poli is the comet bully he is very popular. Alien Moli is not very popular he is who I like to hang out with. Alien Poli and Alien Moli don't like each other very much and they have a long past with bullying. After comet today I went to Alien Moli’s star shack it was ok a star sack is a shack in a bad area. Alien Moli said that “Alien Poli is a jerk and I hate him.” he said this then I had to leave his house

All over the world, comets symbolized different things such as the death of a leader, war, famine or a bad harvest was coming. Can we blame them? They knew nothing about what we would consider today to be common knowledge. In the 1650’s, however, comets meant something else to someone else. This was a time where we still considered comets to be evil signs. At that time, young Isaac Newton had received his first telescope as a gift from his parents and was prepared to view a comet that fateful night
