If a very large, planet-size object slammed into our planet — as was the case in the collision that formed Earth's moon, the massive impact might counteract Earth's spin or even cause the planet to spin the opposite way. This might have happened to at least one planet in our solar ...
the outer planets are much slower in motion, representing years of our lives. When we connect with the movements of the outer planets—which also include Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus, and Neptune—we connect with larger chapters of our life. When they move, we feel the shift deeply. When they tr...
Unfortunately, society is set up in a way that does not honor our uniqueness. From a young age, we are taught what is important to be good at, what is frowned upon, and just how different we can be until we are rejected. Full Moons are about release and a pathway to evolve forward....
How fast does a black hole spin? What is the strength of the gravitational field 1.27 x 10^7 m above the Earth's surface? The radius of the planet is 1.324 x 10^7 m. How much of space is dark matter? Why is there gravitational force from the Sun? What would happen if the Sun ...
In its own way, Delta is rather historic… For it was only 4 degrees north of this star that Uranus was first sighted by Galle in 1846! Saturday, October 20 –Tonight, let’s check out a lunar map and go hunting! First let’s start with a look at the Mare Fecunditatus region: ...
What is the orbital period of Uranus? What does Ceres orbit? What do comets orbit? What is the radial acceleration of Earth toward the sun? What is the semi-major axis of Halley's Comet's orbit? A planet rotates about its axis for a period of 47 days. The planet has a mass of 3....
the region where the pull is too strong for light to escape, would extend to the orbit of uranus. pluto would be outside the event horizon at first, but that doesn’t mean it would escape. it would just have a chance to broadcast out a radio message before being vacuumed up. illustra...
Finally, in the 20th Century, the first quartz clocks were invented, making way for atomic time. How do atomic clocks work? Clocks use oscillators to keep time. These devices have periodic behaviour, swinging back and forth in a regular rhythm, like a pendulum. The faster the swing, the ...
Many things float around in a cell, and not all of them are organelles. Some are called inclusions, which is a category for items such as stored cell products or foreign bodies that made their way into the cell, like viruses or debris. Most, but not all organelles are surrounded by a ...
Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences. Because Byrne studies how (and why)planetslook the way they do, we figured that he'd be a great person to talk to about what Uranus might sound like. And we were right!
