Henri Oung Date due: April 28th, 2009 Knowledge and Conspiracy Theories Date submitted: April 28th, 2009 Term paper: Moon-landing Word count: 1110 We always strive to achieve something. That achievement might be a dream or something even bigger. One of the dreams that Americans have is to actually get off the planet earth and see the outer universe. But one of the first things they wanted to accomplish is to actually land on the moon. It was first succeeded by the soviets in 1966, but the Americans did try to land a few years before that, but failed.
Craters || || Overview · Evaluate parameters affecting crater formation. · Find the size of the asteroid/comet that killed the dinosaurs. · Understand how you can make your own series of craters, to observe the "geological" results. · Look at and evaluate images of craters on other planets/celestial bodies. Pre-lab Questions Answer these questions: 1.
Name: Date: Semester Lab: Lost in Space – Checkpoint #2 Worksheet Scientists find an unknown sample in a NASA lab that has been misplaced. They want to identify the sample, place it back into the NASA collection, and match it with the correct mission. Day 1 A) Space Missions Clue: Scientists believe the unknown sample was collected from one of the past space missions below. They want you to research these NASA missions to discover the objectives each mission. (5 points) Note: Go to http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/ and check the planet missions that you want to research.
He built his own telescopes and was the first to use to view the heavens in 1610. After doing so, he made many discoveries. He saw that Jupiter has moon orbiting around it, like the Earth. He made the discoveries of the four moons on January 7, 1610 and they are now called the Galilean moons. These are the largest of Jupiters moons.
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.
Taurus-Littrow was selected with the prospects of finding highland material in the valley's north and south walls and the possibility that several craters in the valley surrounded by dark material could be linked to volcanic activity. Apollo 17 also broke several records set by previous flights, including the longest manned lunar landing flight; the longest total lunar surface extravehicular activities; the largest lunar sample return, and the longest time in lunar
A spacecraft, named Horizon, launched in 2006, and it will hopefully reach Pluto in 2015. Pluto has a huge rock, like the moon,
The Lunar Module "Eagle" consisted of two parts: the descent stage and the ascent stage. The descent state provided the engine used to land on the moon. It had four legs, a storage area for experimental gear, and a ladder for the crew to climb down to the moon's surface. The descent module also served as the launch platform for the ascent module when it came time to leave. The ascent module carried the crew back to the Command Service Module.
Have you ever looked into the night sky every day for a month to notice that Mars has moved from west to east to west again, that’s retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is a natural occurrence that appears to happen to other planets in our solar system from earth. Retrograde motion is what happens when a planet (we will use Mars as an example) looks as if it is reversing. This occurs when the Earth passes the planet. Direct motion and retrograde motion both occur with Mars, direct motion is when the planet seems to be going forward, and retrograde is when it seems to be going backwards.
