Meteorites likely traveled in space for millions of years before visiting us here on Earth. They were bathed in cosmic rays, but are not dangerous or radioactive. If your rock looks just like other Earth rocks, it probably is one. Meteorites look and feel different from the ordinary rocks around them. Recently fallen

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.
With all this change people are constantly questioning certain things about the moon and its origins. Why does the moon seem to change in size at times? Or how is that even possible for the moon to change in size from where we are standing here on earth. When creating my own personal hypothesis the question of why does the
They claim since that the photos and videos of the Apollo voyage are only available through NASA, there is no other independent verification, thus the moon landings were a hoax. The competition for superior technology was fierce and theorists claim that it would have been cheaper to fake the moon landings, and prove to Russia that the U.S. had greater technology. The evidence provided by these theorists include many anomalies such as: 1. the waving flag theory. Conspiracy theorists point out that when the landing was televised viewers could see the American flag fluttering as Armstrong and Aldrin planted it on the moon. Being that they were in space there is no air in the moon’s atmosphere thus a flag waving is impossible.
There’s a peer-reviewed article that contains many of these claims, but they also provide the origins and history on how people were even able to land on the moon. This article is called ‘’Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations’’. What made people to make quick assumptions like that? Several medias reinforced the idea that we never actually landed on the moon. For example, the first book which was on this subject was made by Bill Kaysing who he himself published was called ‘’We never went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle’’.
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
Jesus Garcia Aug. 18, 2014 Things We Need To Live On Mars Mars is known as being the red planet in our solar system and for being the fourth planet from the sun. In occasion we ask ourselves what would we need to live on Mars if by any reason Earth is no longer able to sustain us. Well our main concern would be our oxygen; we either need to build a facility with oxygen or figure out another invention in order to be able to breathe on Mars. We not only need a building to help us breathe, but also to be able to keep warm because Mars is known for its cold temperature. We would imagine it would be hot on the “red” planets but the farther you go from the sun the colder each planet gets.
This planet is two-thirds of our moon and it is the largest rock in the Kuiper belt. After the discovery of Pluto, Scientist thought that it was too small to rotate around the sun. Pluto has not been visited by a spacecraft yet. It is so far that only the Hubble space telescope can see it; but it can only see its largest features. A spacecraft, named Horizon, launched in 2006, and it will hopefully reach Pluto in 2015.
No longer are they looked upon as the gods or answers, but they still carry much intrigue for people. The nine planets in our solar system have very unique characteristics, and help us understand many things about the universe. The Solar System contains the Sun, eight planets, at least three dwarf planets, more than 130 satellites, and a large number of small bodies such as comets and asteroids. The Solar System is located in the Milky Way galaxy, which contains about 200 billion stars and multiple other solar systems such as ours. The inner Solar System contains four of the eight planets in our solar system.
