Correspondingly, in H.G wells The war of the Words resembles the same genre, viewing life as Martians arrive to Earth in their flaming cylinder by disguising themselves as meteorites or shooting stars. One be one they build their army as the Martians awake from their cylinders causing extinction to cities and countryside’s that were once filled with life, slaughtering anyone who comes between their paths. The need

of the crater. Scientific knowledge Impact craters are geologic structures formed when a large meteorite, asteroid or comet smashes in to a planet or a satellite. Meteorites are small rocks in space that hit the earth's atmosphere at a high velocity. Throughout their history they have heavily bombarded all the inner bodies in our solar system. In this experiment we will use marbles as our meteorites, these will be free falling objects that will be used to copy an asteroid impact. The surfaces of

One of the biggest reasons to change where we are exploring is how expensive space travel is. The regular cost is about $450 million. That is a lot of money and here is the catch, that cost is only for one launch and there have been about 130 launches. So if you do the math, we have spent about $58.5 billion on space travel. That is the total cost of all 130 space shuttle launches, but there have also been five-strong fleet launches. To build a strong fleet shuttle it takes around $1.7 billion (Thompson

colliding (Reding, 2015). The debris from these occurrences are often seen passing through, and landing in the Earth’s atmosphere, deviating far from their original path. This could serve as a prelude to what might happen if detritus were to fly off the meteorites (Scoles, 2015). The expenses related to mining Near-Earth objects would also be monumental. Calculating the risks and time needed; R&D, scouting, infrastructure and operational mightn’t be financially feasible for event the most wealthy countries

Recently scientists were conducting a search for missing carbon on mars, some other scientists say it's time to call off the search. Mars once had an atmosphere filled with enough carbon to increase the temperature of the planet for oceans of water to flow. The mars described in the previous paragraph is very different from the current mars, a cold desert world. This massive change put many scientists on the search for this reservoir of carbon. This reservoir can not be found in the dirt or dust

The weekend of January 16th to the 19th of 1965 will forever go down as a monumental event. Seeing as though this year rings in the fiftieth anniversary of this event, it was widely talked about amongst Astronomy and Space Travel classes at the University. Maria arrived to lecture late on Friday January 17th to find her professor deep in conversation about the first time a group of friends had traveled to space together.……… “It was the morning of the big college weekend adventure to Uranus and

For many years scientist from all parts of the world have encountered the idea, “Was there life on Mars, and is there still today.” Never has a Scientist been one hundred percent certain, but a few have been pretty darn sure that life has and still exists on Mars. Bacteria and water have said to be found on Mars a long time ago but is there still bacteria and water on it today. Probes from NASA have gone to Mars to find any kind of lifeform and found samples of water and maybe bacteria. With this

how Satan comports himself” (pg. 128), is a perfect example on how the Letter A as a plot device worked upon Chillingworth, corrupting him into Satan himself. Furthermore, this form of analysis can be seen during the second scaffold scene when a meteorite appeared bearing the Letter A accompanied by a ray of light which shined upon Chillingworth’s face and revealed “the malevolence with which he looked upon his victim” (pg.145). From here his true nature was revealed to his victim, Dimmesdale that

contain Paleocene microfossils from the earliest part of the Cenozoic. Iridium is much rarer than gold on Earth, yet in the K-T boundary clay iridium is usually twice as abundant as gold, sometimes more than that. The same high ratio is found in meteorites. The Alvarez group therefore suggested that iridium was scattered worldwide from a cloud of debris that formed as an asteroid struck somewhere on Earth. Shocked quartz was
