Planet Rock

the music genre and culture of Hip Hop. The song I am going to go in depth about and analyze is Afrika Bambaataa’s & the Soulsonic Force’s hit song "Planet Rock". The main reason why I chose this piece of music is because the impact it had in the Hip Hop community was like non other and because till this day it is one of the more popular songs people like to breakdance to. The structure of this song is complex yet at the same time very simple. The producers of this piece Arthur Baker and John Robie composed it so there is a lot…

The video “Planet Rock: The Story of Hip Hop and the Crack Generation” is a documentary that discusses how hip-hop music and crack cocaine fused to create a unique culture of young African American individuals. This video includes interviews with former addicts, kingpins, and dealers, which provides a first-hand account of what experiencing said culture was like. An interesting idea that is discussed in the video is how the movie Scarface influenced the culture of young African Americans…

Mars Mars is 4.6 billion years old and is the fourth planet from the sun. ( It is named after the Roman god of war because the color of the planet resembles blood. Mars has many features that even resemble earth. Canals and valleys on Mars show that water once had to flow on the land. The planet is farther from the sun than earth, making it much colder. The red planet has seasons just as earth does, but its seasons are longer because of the tilt of the axis. The geography of Mars consists of…

Introduction There are so many different stuff to learn about Mars like its description, its features, and its rovers. Description Mars is one of only two planets to be scientifically smaller than Earth. Mars is the nearest planet to Earth than any other planet except Venus.If you put Mars next to Earth, Mars would be a softball while Earth is a basketball. The planet of Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. Also, Mars is a terrestrial planet. The entire planet of Mars is made of…

A recent study on Mars’s geology causes a paradigm shift to researchers’ perspective of the red planet. Felsic rocks that thought to not exist on Mars are now identified. Overall, these findings alter the understanding of the geologic complexity and magmatic activity of Mars. Prior knowledge of Mars’s geology was rather simple; consisting of one type of rock formation in contrast to Earth’s diverse and complex geology. Felsic rocks such as granite, are common in subduction zones on Earth (Wray…

Over time we’ve changed our minds about how the Earth came to be. Through the study of our planet and solar system we’ve widened our understanding of where we began. We went from thinking the Earth was the center of the universe to knowing for a fact that we are just a small spec in a huge ocean of planets and stars. After watching the documentary presented in class, the major theme I noticed was how over time and after years of research our ideas around how things worked and how they…

water ice on its surface, and water vapour in its atmosphere. The existence of water is pivotal in the exploration of Mars, as it may hold vital information regarding the history of the planet. Scientists have implemented the ideology to ‘follow the water’, as the existence of water allows for life to grow, and more importantly, exist. This is reiterated in Rothschild and Mancinelli’s “observation that all terrestrial life requires liquid water during some phase of its life cycle (cited in…

BlDwarf Planet Pluto Could Have Polar Ice Caps Pluto, once known as the Solar System’s ninth planet before being downgraded to a dwarf planet status in 2006, is three billion miles from Earth, and now the US space agency NASA’s New Horizons probe (www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/newhorizons/main) has discovered what may be polar ice caps on its frozen surface. The probe set to travel by Pluto around July 14, 2015 and will be within 7,800 miles of its surface. The spacecraft has already taken several…

Planet Nine is a planet thought to be found in the outer region of our solar system, lurking in deep space. Although it is hypothetical, there is evidence that leads us humans to believe it is real. This topic is interesting to me because humans have never seen Planet Nine but it would explain why objects from the Kuiper Belt have extraordinary orbits. This planet is thought to be a rogue planet, one in which has been captured by our sun, and then flung just past where astronomers can view…
