The third planet from the Sun, uniquely hosting diverse life forms and ecosystems. Earth's surface is 71% water, supporting a wide range of marine and terrestrial life. 12 Saturn A gas giant known for its extensive ring system and numerous moons. Saturn's rings are made up of ice and ro...
What makes up a moon crater? What moon has a large impact crater called Herschel crater? What is the Tycho crater? What is Meteor Crater made of? What are moon craters and how are they formed? What is the surface of the moon like?
These six microsats are relay satellites for spacecraft on or near the surface of the planet, and they will allow more data to come back from Mars missions. The Marsat will collect data from each of the smaller satellites and beam it to Earth. It will also keep Earth and distant space...
I haven't had a single observation this summer between clouds and extended daylight. In years past, there was an obvious blue cast in the portion of the planet below the rings (saturnian winter). When there was more tilt, i’d describe the colors and banding in the N as light and dar...
Scientists once believed that Mercury always presented the same face to the sun, but in 1965, they discovered that it rotates slowly — three times for every two orbits. That makes a day slightly shorter than a year. Because Mercury has very little tilt relative to its orbital motion, its ...
providing the necessary heat and minerals at hydrothermal vents. These vents could have been the cradles of life, offering the right conditions for life’s early chemistry. This intricate interplay of heat, movement, and chemistry makes Earth not just a static rock in space, but a dynamic, lif...
What makes up ozone? Define meteors and meteorites. What can studying rocks from the moon tell us about the early history of the earth? Why is the capture hypothesis not the best hypothesis for the formation of the moon? Choose all the apply. a. It does not have ...
or taking steps toward its dreams and desires. It is a likable, beautiful, graceful, and pleasing archetype. Underneath the surface of this sign is acute awareness, insights, creativity, charisma, and a deep drive to move forward in the world, to meet fairness and justice wherever it can, ...
Many reflector/reflecting telescopes are great for viewing planets (such as Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn) and the simplistic design makes them easy to build and also means they are often very affordable. The most common form of this telescope is the Newtonian reflector, which was (you guessed it...
This applies to pretty much all of astrophotography. Almost every image is of something that we would never see with our own eyes. I'm not always opposed to art, especially when it makes the actual data easier to see. In any case, I think most of us here have a goal of art based ...
