Mercury shares its name not only as an element but as Planet. Its name transcends other elements, perhaps due to its mystical appearance and composition. Mercury is one of the only metals that is liquid in room temperature. (Excluding Gallium since its achieves liquid state at a slightly higher temperature than room temperature which is great for pranking.) Mercury is also known as a quicksilver due to its mesmerizing appearance as a liquid like silver. It was also formerly known as hydrargyrum, which is Latin for watery silver hence its elemental symbol being Hg. While mercury behaves like a liquid it is about 13.6 times denser than water. When spilled, mercury keeps to itself and is collected fairly easy due to its density and its electron…
The planet's surface temperature is 712 K (439 °C). This temperature is higher than expected if the planet were only heated by radiation from its star.Whatever forces, tidal effects deliver to the planet, it does not affect its temperature a lot. A greenhouse effect could raise the temperature to much higher degrees than 520–620 K.…
Astronomy HOMEWORK Chapter 1 9th ed 5. In Figure 1-8, what is another name for the “Sun’s annual path?” Ecliptic. This term also refers to the mathematical plane of Earth’s orbit. 10. By about how many degrees does the Sun move along the ecliptic each day? The Sun moves 360 degrees in 365.25 days along the ecliptic, so Degrees per day = (360◦ )/365.25 days = 0.986◦ = 1◦ . Round to 1 degree since the question says “about how many...” 14. What are the vernal and autumnal equinoxes? What are the summer and winter solstices? How are these four events related to the ecliptic and the celestial equator? The equinoxes are the points on the celestial sphere where the ecliptic and celestial equator intersect. The vernal equinox is the point where the sun crosses the celestial equator northbound.…
The most famous early image of a human, a woman, is the so-called "Venus" of Willendorf, is a 11.1 cm (4 3/8 inches) high statuette of a female figure, discovered at a Paleolithic site in 1908 at a Aurignacian loess deposit near the town of Willendorf in Austria. It is now in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. The statue was carved from oolitic limestone, and was colored with red orche. It is dated 30,000 and 25,000 BC.…

Born into slavery, Hammon was never emancipated. He was living in 1790 at the age of 79, and died by 1806. A devout Christian, he is considered one of the founders of African-American literature.…
The planet I live is called Planet Buzz. The place is devoid of people, except for me. The place looks like a gigantic ball of yellow, flowery dust. The dust swirls around the planet and shrouds it from outsiders. The dust smells of methane and honey. Planet Buzz has many bees which is why the atmosphere smells of honey. The methane smell is from the core of the planet. Everyday, the core leaks over two hundred million pounds of methane.…

In 1908, archaeologist Josef Szombathy’s workman Josef Veram uncovered the figure that has come to be known as the Venus of Willendorf. Found at a Paleolithic dig site in Willendorf, Austria, the Venus of Willendorf is a small limestone figure of a women. 53 years later, in Çatalhöyük, Turkey James Mellaart dug up the Seated Mother Goddess, or Seated Woman of Çatalhöyük. This figure was also clearly a women, but it was larger, and made out of clay as compared to the Venus of Willendorf. Though they came from very different parts of the world, historians soon recognized the striking similarities between the two figures. Despite the differences between where they were found, and the time periods they came from, the two figures had undeniable similarities. Both had largely defined…
Helium is an element in the periodic table. It has the symbol He and an atomic number of 2. Its average atomic mass is about 4.002602 u. There are 7 known isoptopes of helium, bearing the electron configuration 1s2. The ionic radius of this element is 93 pm. Helium was first observed and found by French astronomer Pierre Jules César Janssen along with the scientist Joseph Norman Lockyer in 1868, adding one more element to the periodic table.…

In this lab we focused on the eclipses of the moon Io of Jupiter. Galileo was the first to discover the four moons of Jupiter and since then astronomers have discovered the orbital periods of them, 1.8 days being approximately Io’s. It was also noted that these moons disappeared and reappeared at certain points in their orbit. This was because when the moons were behind Jupiter they were not able to reflect light. In this lab we had to find the speed of light after finding the eclipse of Io given the dates March 1, 2008 and May 31, 2008.…
19th century French painter Gustave Moreau was an artist highly regarded for his intricate use of images based on myth and legends to create very symbolic and often haunting paintings. Moreau was quoted saying: "I love my art so much that I shall only be happy when I can practice it for myself alone." In a time when many artists choose to paint classical mythological subjects as if it were a proper education in Greek and Latin, Moreau was developing his own unusual and personal interpretations using a classical subject matter as his tool for artistic expression. This is very much the case in his painting of Jupiter and Semele (1894-5) in which Moreau explores classical myth in a very personal and unorthodox way to express his interest in mythology and religion as a true Visionary artist. Moreau employs a variety of methods to create his works, one way Moreau makes the work more personal is by taking the molds of mythological stories and turn them into a mystical world with poetic melancholy with his own personal style using color and size to create emotion. In these detailed pieces Moreau combines lush vegetation with jewel-like colors make the fantasy world seem so real. Finally, as a French Symbolist painter, Moreau used various iconography meant to be mysterious and ambiguous in their meanings, often using icons from Symbolist writings and ancient myths.…
Humans would not be able survive on planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune because those planets are Gas Giants. There is no surface, the planet is made up entirely of gas and atmosphere and the cores would thus most likely be liquid. Mercury, the innermost planet in our solar system, is a terrestrial planet which means it has a hard rocky surface. And although that is true*, humans still would not be able to live on Mercury. There is no atmosphere and because Mercury’s distance is substantially closer to the Sun, temperatures are exceedingly high. Venus is the second planet from Sun and is also a terrestrial planet. The size and mass of Venus is relative to Earth in that they are similar under those characteristics. But due to Venus’ dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, living on its surface would be quite impossible. Venus also has dense sulfur dioxide clouds which makes this planet have the strongest greenhouse effect. And because of this Venus is actually hotter in temperature than Mercury. But what about Mars? Are we able to colonize and inhabit the planet Mars?…
