The day my life would change for ever was April 16th‚ 2013. This was the day that I left planet earth and embarked on one of the most important missions in NASA’s history. I should probably back up though‚ and explain to you how this came about. April 16th was sunny with only a few clouds in the sky‚ the smell of spring was in the air and with the end of second semester right around the corner‚ the quad was packed with people eager to catch some much desired sun rays. Unfortunately for me though

Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System‚ then Uranus‚ then Neptune‚ then Earth‚ then Venus‚ then Mars‚ and last Mercury. Even though Jupiter is so massive it rotates faster than Earth‚ which is the third closest planet to the Sun. Finally‚ you should know that Jupiter is the best planet in the Solar System. Would you believe that the storms on Jupiter last for

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Computer simulation was developed hand-in-hand with the rapid growth of the computer‚ following its first large-scale deployment during the Manhattan Project in World War II to model the process of nuclear detonation. It was a simulation of 12 hard spheres using a Monte Carlo algorithm. Computer simulation is often used as an adjunct to‚ or substitution for‚ modeling systems for which simple closed form analytic solutions are not possible. There

Gold mining in Indonesia ranks 9th in the world (statistics of 2011) and is responsible for the pollution of bodies of water‚ surrounding the mines. The pollutant? Mercury‚ a highly toxic global air/water contaminate. A neuro-toxin‚ capable of destroying a humans nervous system. It is used by

Sets of T-Squares Opposing planets: Mars – Saturn Squared Planet(s) (Apex): Mercury‚ Jupiter‚ Pluto The T-Square is represented by the block of the opposing action/drive (Mars) and structure/discipline (Saturn) forces. When these two elements clash‚ the squares (boiling energy) causes a friction between the two forces‚ causing the individual two solve the tension and find the balance. As the T-Square is an unstable pattern‚ the solution is found within the other side of the apex that provides

Water Pollution Solutions Water pollution has been around ever since any of us can remember! What we need to look for now are water pollution solutions to help salvage our planet. So read on to know about some water pollution solutions... Water pollution is a problem that isn’t new to us. Water pollution has been around since time immemorial‚ though the severity of the problem has only recently struck environmentalists the world over. Although there are a lot of strict laws in the United States

Mercury is the smallest terrestrial planet in the solar system‚ about a third of the size of Earth It has a thin atmosphere‚ which causes it to swing between burning and freezing temperatures Mercury is also a dense planet‚ composed mostly of iron and nickel with an iron core Its magnetic field is only about 1 percent that of Earth’s The surface of Mercury is similar to that of the Moon; it has many deep craters and is covered by a thin layer of tiny particle silicates The surface temperature

Carbone 2/8/14 Environmental science There are 8 planets in our solar system; these are divided into two types‚ large gas giants (Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and Neptune) and smaller rocky terrestrial planets (Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth and Mars). The order from closest to the Sun outwards is; Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and finally Neptune. Until 2006 Pluto was also classed as a planet‚ however it is now classified as a dwarf planet (meeting the first two requirements of the definition

Project Eight Determine the materials and labor to build a storage building‚ this will involve designing the building‚ figuring out what materials are needed‚ purchasing the materials‚ and putting together the various parts. Some of these tasks depend on the others‚ some must be scheduled‚ some take more labor than others‚ etc. The building design must include options such as: a choice among different types of siding‚ doors‚ windows‚ and roofing. Also‚ include the choice of a poured 4” deep concrete
