Grigorian, Natasha
The mean distance of Mars from the sun is about 141 million mi (228 million km); its period of revolution is about 687 days, almost twice that of the earth. At those times when the sun, earth, and Mars are aligned (i.e., in opposition) and Mars is at its closest point to the ...
volcanic activity and running surface water. The planet has two tiny satellites, Phobos and Deimos. Mean distance from sun: 228 million km; period of revolution around sun: 686.98 days; period of axial rotation: 24.6225 hours; diameter and mass: 53.2 and 10.7 per cent that of earth ...
a correct view with north up and east to the left, the planet will appear to move from left to right such that features on the surface will appear to move out of view 37 minutes earlier each night. The overall effect makes it appear Mars makes a full backward revolution in 40 days. ...
Curiosity’s mission is planned to last one Martian year (687 Earth days). Curiosity’s landing site, Gale crater, is at a low elevation; if Mars ever had surface water, it would have pooled there. Aeolis Mons (also called Mount Sharp), the crater’s central mountain, consists of many...
September was originally Month Seven because there were only 10 months in the Roman calendar, starting with the first month of March. January and February were added later. Another good thing to do before plunging into Roman studies is to install Google Earth (5.0 and above) and look for Anc...

She adjusted the guitar strap and gripped the mic. “Oi, Ceres! How the fuck are ya? Who wants to start a revolution?” Mags laughed at the response. “Yeah, yeah. Listen up. When I was here with the 78s back in ’27—”
