NASA and other countries’ space programs have been trying for decades to successfully land a rover on Mars that can support the theory that Mars can support life. Most countries have failed numerous times to land a rover on Mars, but the United States has been successful 8 times, but the Soviet Union, or Russia, has only been successful one time. These rovers help humans take steps closer to landing on and maybe even living on Mars. The NASA Mars […]
The earth has four different layers as scientist believe. However, if you were to look at it from space you wouldn’t be able to notice any layers, besides the very first layer the one we live on because you can only see what is shown on the outside from pictures taken from space. Have you ever wondered what’s underneath the surface we see and what is beneath the earth’s surface? It’s mostly blue because that’s all the water from the […]

Get help with your assignmentAbstract In July of 2003, the Spirit and Opportunity Rovers were launched towards Mars. The purpose of Spirit and Opportunity being sent to Mars was to allow field study to be conducted, and to also make different observations of the atmosphere. The mission was planned to only last a few months, however, to this day the Opportunity is still making discoveries on Mars. The Spirit and Opportunity landed on opposite sides of Mars, each in very important locations. Some of […]
A standout amongst the most intriguing and entrancing planets in our nearby planetary group is the planet Mars. If seen by humans, they would be amazed at the actual sight of Mars. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the last of terrestrial objects. The planet is known for his blazing red look and its dangerously volcanic surface. “Mars” comes from The Roman God of war, Ares. Mars surface is mostly covered with rocks, volcanoes, and craters thanks […]
It may appear like Earth’s shape is never changing. In reality, it is constantly changing. Some changes are so slow we never see their impacts in our lifetime. Other changes occur instantly. There are two factors that can change Earth’s shape. These are tectonic activity and erosion (Bendick, 1965). Volcanoes and earthquakes, caused by tectonic activity, are examples of events that change Earth’s shape quickly. Erosion, on the other hand, can take millions of years (Stille, 2016). Tectonic activity is […]
Remember last year? Yes, 2018 was filled with many triumphs. Including one by NASA! On November 26, 2018, NASA landed a probe and a mole (yes a mole, get over it) onto the Martian surface. Now, you may be asking, “What in the world is NASA going to do with a fat mole on Mars?” Well, this mole will test human survival on the rough terrain and weather on Mars. All this research is for one goal and one goal […]
Venus is the second planet from the sun. It can be found in between Mercury and Earth in the solar system. Its rotation period is 243 days, which is the longest rotation period of any other planet in the solar system. Venus also rotates in the opposite direction to most planets. Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty because it shined the brightest of all five planets known to early astronomers. Venus is also the second […]
