Scientists continue on the journey to Mars as NASA plans to send people deeper into space than ever before. Therefore, they would like to send people to Mars and the surface of asteroids. Before that is accomplished, NASA will analyze an asteroid to learn about the risks that may pose to future humans. The most powerful rocket yet, is scheduled to launch in 2018. Information from this rocket will enhance NASA’s understanding of asteroids. Peter Carl Goldmark was the inventor of the first color television. This invention changed society forever. Back then, it was weird to have a television.However, now, it’s weird not to have one or not to have things like it.

Saturn has over 60 moons with more to be discovered. Its largest moon is Titan. It takes about a day for each moon to rotate once around Saturn. Storms in Saturn’s atmosphere have been spotted by spacecraft Cassini.
It is very windy on my planet, with winds up to 600 miles per hour. We are located nearly ten times farther from the sun than Earth. Saturn is hard to stand on, considering there is no ground like Earth. Some believe that the moons and some of the rings might be younger than dinosaurs. We are very fortunate to be able to witness the moons and rings today.
Saturn is very different than Earth, so there are different items you will need to survive. You are going to need goggles to keep the fine dust out of your eyes. Bringing an air tank and mask would be advised so you don’t breathe in the dust. Of course you should bring food and water depending on how long you plan to stay.

The remaining 38 are irregular satellites which means their orbits are much farther from Saturn.

  • Gas Giants Essay

    Perhaps one of the most interesting features of our fathomless universe are the planets that are classified as gas giants. Huge, turbulent, and distant, the gas giants are some of the most enigmatic features in our Solar System. I have a personal interest to the gas giants and celestial bodies in general. When I was a child, I was fascinated by our Solar System. I read innumerable books about space, and my interests of outer space had been piqued further by other forms of media. Although I held this interest of space, growing up left me with little time to learn about space, and I lost interest for a while. Taking Earth Science in Milpitas High re-invigorated my interests in the celestial bodies. Using this class, I’m now able to focus on learning more about our colossal universe, in particular, the outer planets.

    Meteorites are dangerous, but the asteroids which they come from are even worse. Most asteroids are found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. However, the scientists at the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research Project recently detected an asteroid 2km wide which was originally predicted to collide with the Earth on February 1, 2019, with possible catastrophic implications. Fortunately, it is believed that this particular asteroid threat will disappear. Still, the public is aware of how threatening an asteroid could be. Hollywood has added to the apocalyptic hysteria surrounding asteroids by releasing movies like Armageddon and Deep Impact. While there is no reason to panic right now, asteroids should be feared because an impact would cause extreme and possibly fatal destruction.

    Our knowledge gained of Titan has drastically improved since the early 1980s when Voyager flew past it. Titan is Saturn’s largest moon and the second largest moon of our solar system. It has a diameter estimated roughly 40% of Earth’s moon (Titan’s Radius: 2576, Moon’s Radius: 1737) and is 80% more massive (Titan’s Mass: 1.35 x 10^23 kg, Moon’s Mass: 7.35 x 10^22 kg. Titan has a atmospheric surface pressure 50% more than of Earth’s. In addition to that, Titan is the only moon to have a dense atmosphere. Titan’s atmosphere has been calculated to be 4.5 times more dense than of Earth’s atmosphere, which can been clearly noted by the layers of haze seen. The atmosphere in Titan is approximately 1.5km and is mainly composed of nitrogen. Titan has a very similar vertical atmospheric structure to earth, Titan has a troposphere temperature of ~94-~70K, a tropopause temperature of 70.4K and a stratosphere temperature of ~70-175K.
