    Summary Of Cosmos By Neil Degrasse

    This episodes of cosmos was a very interesting one. Neil Degrasse starts off with what was suppose to be the means of diversity between humans and animals and he speaks on the topics of natural selection, genetic drift and more to explain why there are so many different breed of creatures and why some are preferred compared to others in certain types of environments. He introduced us to a tree that contained all of the creatures that have been discovered by man, and he tells us the similar physical features that are shared amongst ourselves and those creatures.

    Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Analysis

    Right from the start of the book Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy hits you with a foreshadowing of how small you are compared to community with the example of the demolition of Arthur Dent’s house. It shows how powerless Arthur Dent is to stopping the destruction of his house and how high and mighty humans feel by controlling what gets destroyed and what does not. Earth is treated just like Arthur Dent’s house, useless and in the way for something better. The Vogans address Earth as nothing more than construction and insinuate that if they couldn’t travel light years to read the fine print of the demolishment of Earth than they are better off dead. In the Hitchhiker’s guide to save room, humans were written in as “harmless” and why shouldn’t they be? Humans were for their whole existence ignorant to the fact that there was more than just…

    Why Did William Herschel Search The Night Sky

    William Herschel was a musician who searched the heavens studying the stars first as a hobby and later an astronomer. His curiosity grew because he realized he had access to the research for himself. “For much of human history, astronomy has been the people's science…Perhaps this is because the night sky, unlike lab equipment, has always been freely accessible.” The rise of 'citizen astronomers': An era of new discoveries and collaboration. By: Joseph Dussault Staff, Christian Science Monitor, 08827729, 10/24/2016. I imagine that he had read of those before him, but have not yet found evidence.…

    What Are Johannes Kepler's Accomplishments

    Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571 in Weil der Stadt, Germany. Kepler was plagued by both poverty and sickness for much of his childhood. His mother was an Innkeeper and his father was a military man, who left Johannes when he was only five years old, never to return. With no financial resources, Kepler had little chance of making out of his small home town. Fortunately, it did not take long for people to catch on to Kepler’s true genius once he started attending school. It was quickly realized that Johannes had a special brain that was capable of understanding complex ideas and concepts both mathematically and…

    America's Impact On The Space Race

    Not only did The Apollo Program prove NASA’s capabilities, but other space projects have also had significant accomplishments. Throughout the 1990’s and 2000’s, various spacecrafts were sent into space to explore the Earth, Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter. NASA’s Discovery program, one of their low cost missions that focuses on the solar system, sent the Hubble Space Telescope in April 1990 to orbit Earth and take photographs of its atmosphere. The photos taken by Hubble “revolutionized ideas about the universe, contributing to the discovery of dark energy, a force that caused the universe to expand at an ever-increasing rate, and the discovery and characterization of planets outside the solar system” (Flynn). For centuries, humans have had limited knowledge about space and the planets that occupy it, however, The Hubble Space Telescope expanded the world’s knowledge on astronomy.…
