Neptune Essay

Galileo’s use of the telescope in 1609 revolutionized the field of astronomy because his observations disproved the geocentric theory and provided strong evidence for the Copernican/Heliocentric system. Galileo discovered four satellites orbiting Jupiter; this observation contradicted the geocentric theory by proving that it is possible for objects to orbit something other than Earth. His observation of the phases of Venus supported the heliocentric theory because he discovered they were similar

Isaac Newton created three laws of motion and a law of universal gravitation. These laws were revolutionary at the time and he even found ways to equate things like force, gravity, and mass. These laws explain why the act of one object orbiting another is possible. He explained how all objects with mass interacted with each other. Orbits are due to the force of gravity between two objects being balanced with the inertia that the orbital possesses. If the orbital is not travelling quick enough, the

INTRODUCTION: Attention Getter: Growing up learning about the planets my first grade teacher told me, “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies” was a way to remember the order of the planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Apparently now teachers teach it as, “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos”. Come on what happened to pies, personally I prefer pies over nachos. Thesis Statement: With the advances in technology, scientist have opened the door to

Naomi Toronczyk Chana Mota Neptune There are eight planets in our solar system. The ones closest to the sun, are hotter than the ones that are farther away. Neptune is the farthest planet from our sun, that is in our solar system. Because of this distance, Neptune is the coldest planet in our solar system. Neptune is the 4th largest planet in the Solar System. It is bigger than Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.The Equatorial diameter is 49,528 km.The Polar diameter is 48,682 km. You may look into

Neptune has some very distinct features. Some of the features are similar to Earth, but some are not even in the same realm as Earth. The Hubble Telescope recently discovered Neptune. It has found that there are dark vortices on Neptune. Vortices are similar to cyclones. There are bright companion clouds which form when air swirls up from the ground, causing gases to freeze into methane crystals. Neptune’s surface is not solid. Some astronomers believe that the core is rocky and the interior has

Introduction: Neptune has always been my favorite planet because of its blue color and the fact that it’s named after the god of the sea in Roman mythology. In class, the notes gave an overview of Neptune in section 12.4 “The Jovian Planets“ and I became curious about what things scientists have discovered about Neptune and its moon, Triton. Science has evolved through the years and I wanted to learn about the discoveries that new technologies have brought to life. Search Log: First, I typed

I believe the most interesting planet in our solar system, other than Earth, is Neptune. This is because Neptune is farther from the sun then most planets. To add to that, Neptune was discovered in 1846 by a French mathematician. This mathematician however did not discover Neptunes largest moon Triton. Plus, he wasn’t the only scientist involved in the discovery of Neptune. Discovering another planet beyond Uranus was thought to be improbable. But a collection of scientists noticed changes in the

“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.”- Albert Einstein. Universe is a mysterious world that is incomprehensible to clarify. However, through intelligence, intuition and ingenuity, it affected Humans to perceive the uncharted world they live in and make it comprehensible. After the tremendous explosion, hundreds of billions of stars were swirling and interacting with each other by gravity, constituting a galaxy. In the midst of chaos, there was the Milky Way

In 2013, Robin Thicke, a relatively unknown but well-seasoned R&B singer, found major success in his upbeat song “Blurred Lines,” which featured the big-named artists Pharrell Williams and T.I. (McKinley). The hit song broke records by spending 16 weeks on top of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Song chart, its popularity earning it the title of Billboard’s Song of the Summer (Ramirez). The uncensored video on Vevo features three female models wearing nothing but shoes and nude-colored underwear dancing

Rebecca McKenney Mrs. McCleanhan Greek and Roman Mythology in Translation 5 December 2016 Pluto Clyde Tombaugh was initially hired by Vesto Slipher of the Lowell Observatory, located in Arizona, as an “assistant observer on a trial basis,” according to David Leverington, author of “A History of Astronomy from 1890 to the Present”. (Leverington) But, starting on April 6th, 1929, Tombaugh began the search that was started by Percival Lowell for what he had dubbed as ‘Planet X’. Between January
