When the sun comes up everyday, it brings light to one side of the world while it brings darkness to the other side of the world. Darkness allows people to look at stars in the night sky and explore space with their own eyes. Space is a subject that raises more questions every time a question is answered. The only way to answer the questions space raises is space exploration. Whether that is sending people to space, or sending robots […]
The 20th century was the time in which hundreds of astronomers were discovering new things, which were strange and fascinating at the same time, about our vast universe. One of the major discoveries was made by Vera Rubin in 1970 when she was observing spiral galaxies. She figured out that the gravitational pull calculated from Einstein’s general theory of relativity by considering the visible matter alone in the galaxy is not enough to prevent everything from flying away. So the […]

Get help with your assignmentGerman scientists had been experimenting with missiles in the 1930’s, however it was not until the end of WWII that the US and USSR became actively involved with experimenting and improving space weaponry. The mindset of the countries was to develop ways to defeat enemies without losing human lives on the battlefields. Tensions between the US and USSR were very voliatle and the two powerhouse governments and their military forces raced to see who could develop long range missiles capable […]
The book I chose is Space Disasters by Elaine Landau. It discusses the Apollo Missions. The Challenger Flight, and the men and women who were involved in space exploration. These early missions taught experts alot about what we should and should not do when sending people into space. It took us tragedies to get here, but now we can make sure they don’t happen again. IN my essay, I am going to go in depth on the topics presented in […]
So basically the Big Bang Theory is the idea that something most likely a star with an incomprehensibly large mass supernovaed and created our universe and everything in it. It started with all the people living in times up to the 20th century who believed that the universe was ageless and infinite. But then Albert Einstein came along with his theory of relativity and completely changed peoples minds about how gravity works and Edwin Hubble found out that galaxies are […]
Planets surround the stars in the galaxy, how they were formed is what scientists are still trying to find out. Scientists have many theories on how they think the planets were formed. Their still doing a lot of studies to figure out how this galaxy and the Earth were created. Scientists believe the Big Bang is what caused the Earth to be made. Depending on your religious beliefs, some people believe the earth was created by the Big Bang and […]
Space tourism is space travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. There are several different types of space tourism, including orbital, suborbital and lunar space tourism. To date, orbital space tourism has been performed only by the Russian Space Agency (Wikipedia, 2018). To become a space tourist, first, you need to look for different companies that will even offer such a trip; it is not just about finding a trip convenient to your schedule, it is also about affording such […]
A volcano is defined, by NASA, as an opening on the surface of a planet or moon that allows material warmer than its surroundings to escape from its interior. While volcanoes are a generally thought of as a feature of Earth, there are plenty of other planets and even moons with a range of extinct, dormant, and active volcanoes in our solar system, and presumably in others as well. Once a feature has been officially defined as a volcano, it […]
At about 3000 feet above the moon’s surface, Neil Armstrong noticed that all across the landing site there were many scattered clumps of craters and boulders. At 300 feet, and descending the superb pilot managed to quickly maneuver his spacecraft slightly left in order to avoid the debris and gently landed his spacecraft among an area of smooth land. Upon arrival, Neil Armstrong recited the first words ever spoken on the moon. Houston, Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed […]
The famous astronomer known as Galileo made many extraordinary astronomical discoveries and his observations of the Moon were just a few of them. Galileo was the first astronomer to discover that the surface of the Moon had pits, craters, and mountains and wasn’t as smooth of a surface as everyone thought. For centuries following this realization, everyone’s curiosity about the Moon continued to grow and the possibility of one-day landing on the Moon became a part of the American Dream. […]
Apollo 11 Mission The Apollo Program was initiated in 1963 and was completed in 1972. The purpose of this program was to place a man on the moon, explore the surface of the moon, and develop the ability for man to work in the lunar environment (Loff, P.1). There were seventeen Apollo missions in total, however, only six of the seventeen placed man on the moon. Apollo 11 was the first of these missions to accomplish the goal of placing […]
Apollo 11On May 25, 1961, John F. Kennedy set the goal of landing the first men on the moon. This began project Apollo. The men who served on the project were brave, determined men. The project faced many obstacles including Apollo 1, where every soul was lost. But through all the challenges, mistakes were learned from, making the Apollo 11 mission successful. The men on Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, are examples of true American heroes; […]
INTRODUCTION (Attention getter): Do you ever wonder how the universe works? How time isn’t linear? how the planets revolve around the sun? (Specific purpose statement): Albert Einstein did, from the moment he received his geometry book which he called his holy geometry book, he was hooked. He went on to explain these phenomenons in a series of theories, theory of special relativity, theory of general relativity, photoelectric effect, and unified field theory. (Audience relevency): His studies will be the explanation […]
Abstract: In this paper we have studied universe filled with two-fluid in an anisotropic and homogeneous Einstein – Rosen metric. For an inflationary universe we have considered one fluid which represent the matter content of the universe and other fluid is chosen to model the CNB radiation. The physical and geometric cosmological parameter are studied and discussed. Keyword: Einstein – Rosen metric, inflationary Universe, two-fluid. Introduction: In present stage, many authors have been interested in cosmological models of the universe […]

Sir Isaac Newton is deemed one of the most influential, preeminent scientists in history. He contributed to many different aspects of science throughout his successful life, and made an impact that will last forever. Newton was brought into the world on December 25, 1642 in Woolsthorpe, England. He was born prematurely, and was very ill and weak. He wasn’t even expected not to live. Although he lived, he did not have a stable home or relationship with his parents. His […]
Advanced space exploration with the actual launching of space shuttles, satellites, animals, and people beyond Earth’s atmosphere into outer space began when the United States and the Soviet Union competed in the Space Race following World War II. This competition between the two rival countries was instituted as a fight for power by seeing who could put the first space vehicle into orbit and land a man on the moon. During this time period between, 1957-1975, the Soviet Union was […]
When individuals think of space exploration, they think of the stars of the show such as Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon; or perhaps John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth. However; those individuals do not ponder on the fact that the behind the scenes components of NASA are the most important factors that led to Global Exploration of the universe unknown. These behind the scenes components are computers. From the human computers who […]
Every kid has thought about being an astronaut, floating in space and playing around, but many people think that space exploration is something that we should not do, and point our money to something more useful such as poverty in the United States. Man has always been interested about space. From when we landed the first man on the moon to now where we are launching rockets to mars with Tesla model S in it. One of the reason that […]
Private space companies have a very good effect on the space program. But not all the time it’s a good effect. Private space companies have been in the program for a long time but just recently people have made controversy over it. The main part of the controversy is if private companies are safe or not. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) are helping private companies because they think it will help in producing space exploration equipment and let space […]
When mentioning about the topic of outer space, the things that pop into people’s minds are usually about the beautiful and fascinating photographs of the planets, stars, and the galaxy. What people often do not know is that there are far more mysteries further above the clouds and the airplanes, and the night sky where only the moon and the stars are seen. Outside of planet earth and the solar system, there are a thousand other planets and a huge […]
As long as humanity has existed, people have looked to the stars. They were used for navigation or just to tell stories or explain the universe. Mankind has always dreamt of reaching into the cosmos, and with technology constantly growing, that dream is now a reality. We are reaching further into the sky to learn more about the universe and our own Earth. In order for us to understand the direction of development for new missions, the history of space […]
Yet, we still face many more complications. There are people who suggest that we stop exploring space and concentrate on Earth’s problems. However, there are critical reasons to continue space exploration, such as, inspiring students and scientists to advance scientific knowledge, improving our economy, and satisfy human need to be curious and explore. These reason make it clear that we must continue further space exploration. The history of space exploration proves the advantages of inspiring our students and scientist to […]
Launching the country’s first experimental space station, and building the ‘Beidou’ navigation system, China’s ambitious space program has made great progress in recent years. Surrounded by great triumphs, many Chinese people seem to have developed an illusion that their country is going to take the lead in space exploration. However, as the leader in space race, the US space industry is supported by the best science institutions in the world, and possesses technologies that is far beyond the Chinese space […]
How did the Renaissance change man’s view of man The Renaissance changed the world and the view of man tremendously in many different ways. The Renaissance started around the 14th century in Rome. Rome and all of Europe were catholic and believed everything revolved around religion and religious meanings. People only listened to Priest and Nuns who read from the catholic bible. They listened to everything they said until people started thinking and acting for themselves. They created art, literature, […]
