whenever he was piloting an airplane, showing how the movie stayed accurate down to every nuance (Old Time Candy 1).

The award winning film, The Right Stuff, not only fascinated those who saw it, but also stayed historically accurate to the American grit of the seven original…

According to Mr. Donahue in the footnote for Chapter 7, “Mars and Mercury are the only planets whose orbits differ enough from circles for that difference to have an effect observable by Brahe’s instruments. Mercury is too near the sun to afford reliable observations of its entire orbit. Therefore, only the observations of Mars could have led Kepler to his ‘new astronomy.’” As soon as he discovered that Mars orbits non-uniformly by sweeping out equal horizontal areas in equal periods of times,…

of being taught the works of Nicolas Copernicus's. Kepler gave up on his plans of becoming a Protistant minister, and in 1594, began giving lectures about mathmatics and astronomy at the Protistant School in the city of Graz, Austria. Kepler believed that Copernicus's heliocentric model of the solar system was right. He believed that the sun exerted a force on the planets orbiting around it. Kepler published "Mystery of the Cosmos" in 1596, which explaned logicaly why the sun was the center of…

Protesting, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door.” Bradbury uses this long, descriptive sentence to show how strong the children’s…

Objective: • Understand the relationship of the nine planets in our solar system to the sun by creating a three-dimensional representation. • Understand the planets relative size and their distance from the sun and the earth. Preparation: Purpose: To introduce the ideas of our solar system and enrich their understanding of the world around them Materials: • Newspaper strips torn about an inch wide • String Steps: • First I would divide the students into nine groups. Then I would assign…

Humans Shouldn’t waste Time and Money Visiting Mars There is so much data out there in this world that leads humans to want to go to other planets. Not only want to, but eventually people may need to go to other planets and there is a chance that it could become a huge part of life and a huge step up from where humans are today. A new galaxy has been discovered called TRAPPIST-1 which has seven Earth like planets, three of them suitable for life. If humans could get to this galaxy which is…

Comet 332P/Ikeya-Murakami (hereinafter referred to as the comet 332P) roaming in the inner solar system has 4 billion 500 million years, but due to a series of gravity, comet 332P is pushed into a new orbit, but due to the new orbit too close to the sun, eventually led to the slow rotation of death ending. The Harbert space telescope to shoot to the final image after the demise of the comet aftermath this unlucky. To a large extent, the comet is a very unfortunate existence. Comets formed by…

Mercury Many studies have been performed to acquire specified effects of the toxic metal, Mercury, contaminating our ecosystems. Mercury is a toxic metal that can be fatal to human-beings and animals. Over the past years, many researchers have sampled water and different fishes to examine the concentrations of inorganic mercury. It has been studied that Mercury gets into the environment multiple ways. “Globally, approximately 6600 metric tons of Hg are emitted to the atmosphere annually, with…
