Abstract Exoplanets are interesting to us for a number of reasons. By locating and observing them, we are able to gather a variety of useful data that tells us details about the planet, and then compare and contrast them to other exoplanets, as well as our own planet Earth. These comparisons are our attempt at better understanding the formation history of rocky planets such as the one we live on today, and furthermore understand the future of rocky planets based on their internal composition and

PROGRAMMATIC MUSICOLOGY ANALYSIS – MARS: THE BRINGER OF WAR Mars, the Bringer of War, is a programmatic composition by Gustavo Holst: British composer of orchestral pieces, operas and choral part-songs. Mars is the first segment in a 7 movement programmatic piece by Holst, The Planets, in which the Roman astrological characteristics of Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are depicted. The movement, Mars, carries out three consistent themes: a brutally rhythmic figure of five

Mercury is a rocky planet. The surface is heavily cratered like Earth’s moon. Mercury is also covered with boulders and pulverized dust. There is no sign of weather at all, be it clouds or rivers, dust storms or anything. Mercury is geologically dead. Mercury has dorsa, moon-like highlands, montes, planitiae, rupes, and valles. Mercury was heavily bombarded by comets and asteroids. The largest known crater is Caloris Basin with a diameter of 1550km. There are two different types of distinct geographic

What it’s made of: Mercury has a large core, estimated to be up to 75% of the planet’s size. The core is made up of liquid metal, predominantly iron, surrounded by a mantle of silica and a solid outer crust. What group it’s belong to: Terrestrial When was it discovered/named: Timocharis made the first recorded observation of Mercury 265 BC. Some other observations of Mercury include Zupus in 1639, who studied the planet’s orbit.
 Origin of the name: As Mercury is the closest planet to the sun

tries to survive on Mars in a makeshift habitat, and attempts to communicate with his fellow crewmates as well as NASA. As a result of Watney’s circumstances, isolation is a major theme of The Martian, and this theme is showcased throughout his various trials and tribulations. While Watney does seem to have an upbeat personality throughout The Martian his loneliness is ever present. The main character finds himself realizing that he is the first to accomplish many things on Mars (because he is the

The lab report this week required us to research the New Horizons mission that is still going on today. We were asked to list some information about the mission, what it hopes to learn and what we’ve learned from Pluto and its surroundings thus far. Personally, I was able to watch the live briefing and seen the first photos released of the dwarf planet in July and I am anticipating the next year of information we we’ll receive. Since the closest passing we have learned numerous insights about Pluto

Source Evaluation Essay For this evaluation essay, I chose four sources for it. The first two material are a journal and one news about the definition of the Pluto. For the third one is a book of introduction of Astronomy, while the last one is a professional source for solar system. All of these resource are written by experts, but not all of them can be cited as an academic source in a research paper. For the first source, an article called “Is Pluto a Planet”, written by Graham Rax

“The Evolvable Mars Campaign-Study Status” outline characteristics of the Martian environment that can potentially aid a manned mission to Mars. Even though the environment on Mars is harmful to a living Earth organism (without a spacesuit) it aids our production of creating a stable environment for us and using our equipment. Some of the ways the NASA researchers have found about the Mars environment that can be use an accrued man mission comes in play of its been atmosphere Mars is moons in the

Questions like how life exists beyond our solar system or under Jupiter’s icy crust have been theorized as the discoveries of Jupiter continue. According to the article, water vapor has observed on one of Jupiter’s moon, Europa. A probe called “Juice” will be launched in 2022 to study Jupiter and its moons, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The mission would also determine if there are oceans on Jupiter, including how deep they are. However, there are some challenges Juice will have to face such as
