Cepheid variable stars have masses much larger than our Sun; the more massive stars are more luminous and have more extended envelopes 10. The stars near the centers of galaxies are orbiting at high velocities, which mean that there is the presence of super-massive black holes in the centers of most galaxies. 11. Large galaxies can absorb smaller galaxies called galactic cannibalism. Chapter 14 1.
o B. Discover images and characteristics related to the Barringer Crater in Arizona: How large was the meteorite, how large is the crater, when did the impact occur, and how fast was the meteorite moving when it hit Earth’s surface. o C. Find at least three large craters on Earth that illustrate the potential magnitude of kinetic energy that is possible at impact. List where the location of the impact, the size of the meteorite, and when the impact occurred. Introduction One look at the surface of the Moon should convince you that "empty space" is not so empty after all.

Name: Date: Period: 1. are natural or artificial bodies that revolve around more massive bodies such as planets. (Satellites or Comets) 2. Most lunar craters are the result of . (volcanoes or impacts) 3. The time it takes for Earth to around the sun is 1 year.
It is well known that atomic detonations on or above a sandy desert will melt the silicon in the sand and turn the surface of the Earth into a sheet of glass. But if sheets of ancient desert glass can be found in various parts of the world, does it mean that atomic wars were fought in the ancient past or,
The biggest threat that NASA has identified is an asteroid named Apophis. However, it is not coming on ‘end of the world December 21, 2012 doomsday’ and is currently on a Level 0 on the Torino Scale. Because our ozone layer is thinning, there is a big possibility that if an asteroid hit our planet it would cause turmoil and destruction. One of the significant times this occurred was when the dinosaurs were wiped out. The surface of the moon is an example of such impacts, and the craters that people see today on the moon, people are starting to see on the
(2 points) Mars. B) Cosmic Origin of the Element CLUE: The substance collected has properties indicating that it contains a few different elements. The elements in your sample were formed in a supernova and released into space when the star exploded. Small stars and cosmic rays are not hot enough to form them. Look at the chart below to see which elements are typically formed in supernova and which ones are not.
When it does, it will envelope Mercury, Venus and eventually Earth. The only question is what catastrophe will destroy, or render this planet uninhabitable, before that time. In Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, the author gives a view of an earth that has been all but destroyed but gives the reader no specific cause for this broken world. Many ideas and theories have been given. Ranging from gamma ray bursts to nuclear
Survival. Achieving this can bring out the worst in people. When the world turns around like it did for Miranda, life would never be the same. An unpredicted disaster has taken a toll on the world. A meteor struck the moon and moved it closer into orbit changing centrifugal forces and causing worldwide tidal waves, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and that’s just the start.
Ast 103 Amber Titus Shrinking Moon Lab The moon along with the rest of Earth’s atmosphere has such a major impact of human’s lives. Space has provided natural entertainment of shooting stars, planets, comets, stars, and meteorites. The one space object that has stuck out to me and I am sure others is, the moon. The moon places a huge role in everyday life because we see it rise, set change phases, change colors, etc. With all this change people are constantly questioning certain things about the moon and its origins.
