In the realm of space, there are two means of exploration. Human space exploration, and robotic space exploration. Although Human exploration may seem like the most grandiose and influential of the two, is it really the best for scientific discovery? When you compare the price, accomplishments, and capabilities of the two, the result is actually quite the contrary. The single biggest obstacle of human space exploration is the incredible amount of money required to execute them. For the price of sending

Edwin Hubble was an important contributor to the Big Bang Theory. Edwin Hubble received his PhD in Astronomy at Chicago University. After college, he became the lead researcher in the field of astrophysics at Mount Wilson in California. He has done many things to help prove that the Big Bang Theory did in fact happen. Hubble’s revolutionary work includes finding a constant relationship between galaxies’ distance and redshift. This helped prove that the universe is expanding. He also created a classification

Life’s Meaning is What You Make It Friday, January 27, 2017. This was the night I formulated the answer to the great question that humans have been contemplating since our existence, “Are We Significant in the Universe?” After visiting the planetarium show at the University of Central Arkansas, I felt like I had it all figured out. Seeing the vast universe, or just the small amount that we have actually discovered, puts things into perspective about just how small the Earth is and how far away everything

The museum that I decided to visit was the California African American museum, located in the Exposition park by the Coliseum and USC school. I knew that by visiting this museum, I would learn more about African American culture and lifestyle, which I thought it would be interesting to learn about another culture. What, I expected to see there was African American’s art creation, music, maybe see a few things about their old lifestyle, and the difficulty they once had to face. To be honest, I don't

Exoplanets are any sort of planet that inherently orbits a star. In this context, the sun cannot be recognized as a star that will be orbited around. Exoplanets vary in size that can be smaller than Earth or even larger than planets such as Jupiter and Saturn. Exoplanets are capable of orbiting their star at various distances. The exoplanet is dependent to certain areas that navigates the distance between it and the star that it is orbiting. Orbiting at the perfect distance depicts the exoplanet

us about the universe which would also inform us on how the universe would end. Russian Physicist, Alexander Friedman, was the first to believe that universe was expanding from initial singularity which is also known as the Big Bang. After Edwin Hubble stated his observation on the universe’s expansion in 1931, the end of the universe has been a subject that many scientist have investigated. In the late 1920’s before Edwin Hubble’s statement about his observation- to which after Einstein heard

Andrea Matthews 3/24/17 SCI135-SP17-B1 – Term Paper I. TOPIC: Hubble Space Telescope results in planetary science. II. PURPOSE: Talk about the history and great discoveries of the Hubble Telescope. Why was the Hubble constructed? What were some of the problems encountered and how has it moved the discoveries of the universe forward. III. AUDIENCE: A. Expectations Most of the audience will most likely be familiar with the Hubble Telescope. Some might know of the spherical aberration that caused

Edwin Hubble Edwin Hubble, was an American astronomer, who has had a great impact on the field of Science and Astronomy. Some people will often compare him to Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton. Edwin Hubble through his works taught us two great things. First Hubble proved that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is not the only galaxy in space, which researchers previously thought was the case. Second, with the help of other astronomers, Hubble proved that the cosmos is always growing larger. He proved this

of the Hubble space telescope (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope) is being celebrated by space enthusiasts, others at the Goddard Space Flight Center (http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/home), located in Greenbelt, Maryland, are working diligently to get the new space telescope James Webb Space Telescope all put together and ready for its travel into space in October 2018. The new space telescope is set to replace Hubble, and is much stronger and can do many things the Hubble telescope

New database is Hubble Space Telescope's legacy S. Mathur Over 25 years, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has collected more than 100 million bits of data and images of astronomical objects and space phenomena. These have been maintained in the Barbara A. Mikulski Archive for Space Telescope (MAST), but the collection was not easily accessed or searched. Researchers at the Space Telescope Science Institute and the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland have now made these available in
