Water is essential to human survival and the transport of large quantities from Earth to Mars via Space shuttle would be incredibly expensive, so the ability to extract it from Mars for use on Mars would be the only way to make life on Mars practical. There is also the possibility of life existing on Mars at the present time. On Earth, certain bacteria can prosper many kilometres below the ice surface of the Canadian arctic, so there is definitely a possibility of bacteria currently residing under the polar ice caps of Mars. The presence of water is suspected on many other
When looking at how planets were classified at the time of Pluto’s discovery technology was much different. The criterion then and now, for the most part, relies on classifying an object as a planet as long as: it orbits around the sun, is massive enough to create its own gravitational shape and force, and must have cleared the neighboring area around its orbit. However, going by these guide lines Pluto does not meet the requirements. For this and other reasons I feel that Pluto should no longer be classified as a planet. There are many issues to consider either way you classify Pluto.
Pluto’s orbit is very different, because it orbits the opposite direction that the other planets do. Pluto is so cold that it is more than negative 235 degrees Celsius. No One knows what Pluto is made up of. Dome scientists say that it is 50–70 percent rock and 30–50 percent ice. The composition is nitrogen and oxygen.
Life has altered the atmosphere by releasing high levels of carbon dioxide along with other chemicals which has been slowly thinning the atmosphere over the years, 3. Why is the rotation of Venus different from that of Earth? All the planets in the solar systems rotate counter clockwise around the sun except Venus. Venus rotates clockwise or retrograde around the sun. Venus also has the slowest rotation out of all the planets rotating around the sun every 243 Earth days.
In the one of the pictures provided by the NASA which stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration who were also the ones that assigned the mission Apollo 11, no stars could be seen. But with common sense, one should see brighter stars when you are in outer space right? The authors explains that the conspiracy theorists are wrong.
Nitrogen fixing bacteria in the roots of leguminous plants reduce atmospheric nitrogen to ammonium using ATP and reduced NAD. The ammonium ions released into the soil are oxidised by nitrifying bacteria firstly to nitrite, and then to nitrate. This oxidation increases the nitrogen content in the soil which plants can use to produces many useful molecules including amino acids, proteins, DNA and ATP. The formation of these ions forms part of the ecological nitrogen cycle which plays a key role in sustaining life on this planet. Plants are the producers for an ecosystem.
The people on Mars can expect to see a desert environment. There are giant canyons, cliffs, water-less streams in the ground, and the color of nearly everything is orange or red. During the training program the individuals will be trained at facilities in certain deserts in the world to prepare them for what they will see, hear, touch, and smell on Mars. After arriving on Mars the individuals will proceed to grow crops using technologically advanced green houses that were sent prior and during the mission. The living pods sent there are designed to make the astronauts feel comfortable and relaxed when they are inside...similar to a luxurious hotel
This was not the case, in various videos and pictures from the landing, shadows are clearly seen in many different directions. 3. Van Allen radiation belt. En route to the moon the astronauts would have to travel through the Van Allen radiation belt. Theorists claim that the extremely high levels of radiation would have cooked the astronauts if they had gone through it.
They didn’t include the earth because this is when people thought that the Earth was the center of everything. This list of planets stayed the same until William Herschel discovered Uranus. Then Le Verrier discovered Neptune in 1846. Well since astronomers kept finding more and more planets they kept looking for them until they came across the 9th and final planet in 1930, Pluto. Background Information on Pluto Pluto was unlike all the other planets in many ways.
Biogas can also be refined as a fuel for cars. [New York Times, 10/12/2010].A way to harness this alternative source of energy is to find a way to collect the biological waste in less time and in larger quantities to generate more energy. The government could provide trucks to pick up biological waste everyday, the people themselves can contribute by taking their biological waste to the plant. If funding was available, perhaps underground pipes could be built to transport the biological waste from homes, farms, sewage ponds and
