Comet

Out of all of the discoveries I choose to do my research on the discovery of Uranus by William Herschel in 1781. Uranus was actually the first planet to be discovered since the beginning of the recorded history. Around this time the only planets that was recorded were the 5 that could be seen by the naked eye. William Herschel was a musician who was fascinated by astronomy and study many books about the subject. He was very different from other astronomers because he wasn’t interested in calculating

Edmond Halley was born on November 8, 1656 in Haggerston, London in United Kingdom he was an english scientist he discovered a comet later named after him Halley's Comet. Even though he was a scientist he was remembered as an astronomer. Halley died on January 14, 1742 in Greenwich United Kingdom at age 87. He was the eldest son. Halley’s father Edmund Humphrey Halley was a well known soapmaker and property owner and his mother Anna Robinson. His mother died in 1672 and then his father was murdered

and now the house has a max occupancy of 60 people. The first floor of the Flamsteed house is where the octagon room is located. The room was designed with big windows , the main purpose of the room was to view celestial events including eclipses, comets, and planetary movement. During the time the room had the best two clocks in the world at the time , the clocks were plus/minus 7 seconds per

An old theory of Planet X, the distant, possibly alien environment on the far reaches of our solar system, has come back to life. Some believe that it redirected rogue asteroids and comets hurtling into the inner solar system. One of which may have hit Earth causing the extinction of dinosaurs. Are humans at risk for this happening again? ALIEN PLANET X MAY HAVE KILLED THE DINOSAURS It seems like something out of a low-budget, alien sci-fi movie, but there is actually some scientific data to back

a future time in 10/13/2325 Friday Billy, Bob, and Joe were playing baseball. Bob had won and they all walked home when it started pouring and a comet fell straight at the boys. Before the comet hit the all them lightning struck the comet. Instead of breaking the comet was intact ,having sparks inside them. Terror fled through their veins as the comet hit them. Being in the middle, Joe got struck with a jolt of lightning. Joe and Bob said in unison "I thought I was going to die!" Billy said “This

In 1979 we didn't have the internet, but we had gossip and urban legends. Similarly to an internet post, gossip , and urban legends could go viral. In the garden street projects, we thought that Skylab was going to fall and destroy the world, and the kids spread the word throughout the neighborhood, everyone was saying it, so it was true. While the urban legend swirled embarrassingly, I exhibited immense fear, I skipped summer school and hid in our fort. Subsequently, Skylab landed in Canada, the

Rosetta was a wonderful and useful spacecraft. Results from Rosetta’s mission were very interesting and helpful to the astronomers. The scientific instruments involved in Rosetta’s mission were very supportive in collecting data. There were lots of people longing for Rosetta’s mission. Rosetta’s timeline starts off with Rosetta being launched. On March 2nd, 2004, the spacecraft Rosetta was launched from Kourou, French Guiana along with spacecraft Philae, its lander module. On March 4th, 2005, Rosetta

occurred. One such theory is the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, also known as the Clovis Comet Hypothesis, which proposes that a comet or asteroid hit North America, killing off many animals and human instantly, and non-adapting species were also eradicated due to starvation (video). One critique of this hypothesis is that no crater has been found on Earth’s surface; however, it is likely that the comet hit the glacier, which ultimately melted and left no physical sign. Another hypothesis depends

The solar system consists of our sun and everything that travels around it such as, eight planets and their moons, asteroids, comets, and other space objects. Our solar system is constantly in motion and has an elliptical shape which means it looks like an egg. It is believed to be more than 4 million years old and contain some of our most amazing discoveries. Theories suggest that our solar system along with our Universe formed due to the “big bang.” The big bang was an explosion that in response

Williams famous book called “A Streetcar Named Desire” are very similar. Both of these works go along perfectly with W.E.B. Du Bois’s short story “The Comet.” In “Hamlet” and “A Streetcar Named Desire” these plays contain a tragic genre, characterization in main characters, and relationships between the characters and these works relate a lot to “The Comet.” Tragedy is a common genre in many plays especially in Shakespeare works. A tragedy is a play that has a catastrophic event that ends with an unhappy
