The shape of the planets is a result of gravity. Gravity is responsible for holding everything together. Without it,the entire universe would be different. 2.They differ greatly in size; the Sun is much larger than the Moon. While the Sun is a star made of gas, the Moon is rock.…
Myths show the values of a culture along with a life message. People usually decide what stories they think are worth retelling to their children, with these stories strangers can figure out what that culture valued. The stories of the two Greek figures Apollo and Utnapishtim demonstrate decision-making and their aftershocks. The Story of Apollo’s tree shows that if you brag then you will suffer the consequences and Utnapishtim’s story of the great flood shows that if you are kind and courteous you will live a happy life.…
The Discovery of Uranus It was the year 1781. William Herschel had just made an incredible discovery. He had discovered the planet Uranus. But, what led him to this discovery?…
Pluto also has craters that are scattered all over the dwarf planet. Pluto is smaller than a number of moons, Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, Io, Europa, Triton, and the Earth’s moon are all smaller than Pluto. Pluto has 66% of the diameter of the earth's moon. Another thing about pluto is that it sometimes is has an atmosphere. When Pluto's elliptical orbit takes it closer to the Sun, its surface ice thaws and forms a thin atmosphere primarily of nitrogen which slowly escapes the planet.…
19. Pluto is no longer considered a planet, and is considered a dwarf planet because it has not “cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. This saying pretty much means that Pluto has gained control of the gravity around it. So astronomers made a name for these planets known as the dwarf planets, to show that it is a planet that continues to orbit the sun, but it hasn’t cleared the neighborhood. 20.…
Once upon a time there lived a young man named Pluto. Pluto was raised by a wealthy family who treated him like a king. However, Pluto believed he was actually the king and spent more money than he actually had. Pluto spending all of this money eventually caught up to him when he went to a friend that was owed money. Pluto wanted to buy more land from his friend who owned the underworld.…
I chose to research about William Herschel, and how he discovered Uranus. It is very interesting to start out with, because I first studied about William Herschel himself and before he started he was a musician, then later in his life he had a interest in astronomy, so he switched later on in life to study astronomy.. He decided to build a huge telescope to look at the stars. HE was very interested in with how light reacted with the eye and said “the eye is one of the most extraordinary organs.” With his telescope he isolated double stars so he could measure the stellar parallax.…
Is the coastal eroding? Yes, along with the power of the waves and wind the coast is eroding. The coast is not only eroding because of the water and wind, it’s also eroding because of human activity. The one activity that we do causing erosion is dredging; it’s when we get shipped to us.…
Discovery of Uranus by William Herschel in 1781 William Herschel was born November of 1738, in Germany. As he grew up, he loved music and played in a band. In 1759 he moved with his family to Great Britain. In Great Britain, he taught music and became an organist.…
The discovery of Uranus made a huge impact on astronomy and the science community, and especially with the discovery of Neptune, which happens a little more than 60 years later. William Herschel, born in 1738 and the man behind the discovery of Uranus, would change history forever, and it all happened because of his excellent telescope making capabilities. Herschel was a very talented organist and musician, but his true passion lied with searching and recording the night sky. He was a telescope maker, and loved studying the different stars at night. His sister Caroline played a huge part in his discoveries by taking notes for him, and searching for comets.…
If you love stargazing come to the planet Uranus. It is named after the Greek god of the sky. With no solid surface, you're going to need to buy a floating house. But make sure not to move to a part of the planet where a night can last for 40 years. You will be able to see the 27 moons named after Shakespeare characters.…
In the dark underground castle sits Pluto. He's doing the only thing Pluto does well, complaining. Let's listen in. "I’m to attractive to be stuck down here, not that anyone would know because I never leave". His voice is now escalating into a yell.…
For years, astronomers have debated if Pluto is a planet or not. Pluto has been taken off the list of planets, and has now been classified as a Dwarf Planet. According to IAU.org, “A dwarf planet is classified as an object in orbit around the Sun that is large enough to have its own gravity pull itself into a round shape... A dwarf planet may also orbit in a zone that has many other objects in it.” Pluto now falls into the dwarf planet category because of its size and because it is in a zone of other same-sized objects known as the trans neptunian region.…
I decided to research discovery and exploration and William Herschel's discovery of Uranus. I had a lot of fun researching this. William Herschel was an organist for part of his life, and when he settled in England, he decided to expand his interests in music. One particular author of music theory, Professor Robert Smith, also wrote an article on optics and telescopes, and this is what inspired Herschel to adopt a love for astronomy. Most professional astronomers of his day focused on astronomical features such as planets and comets, but William Herschel wanted to discover more about stars.…
By the end of the 1800s art was considered a subject of study just like science and math. For an artist to be taken seriously and considered a proffesional attending an art college was a neccesity. There they learn about line techniques, shading, colouring etc. Some artists believed that art was meant to be “studied” in schools. Art was meant to be felt like an emotion and the lines show flow from the conciousness to the paper.…
