Every planet in the Universe has it’s own place including Earth. Earth is located inside the galaxy called the Milky Way, which includes millions of planets, including the solar system. Therefore up above Earth, in space, is the solar system in which the Earth resigns. This solar system consists of eight planets, one sun and one dwarf planet. Each of the planets or in Pluto’s case, a dwarf planet, are different sizes and have a different distance from the Sun. Earth, for example is one of the smaller planets in the solar system but bigger than Mars, Mercury and Venus. Mars is about two times smaller than Earth but Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are bigger than Earth. Since Pluto is a dwarf planet it is also smaller than Earth. Interestingly
Pluto, a dwarf planet, and Uranus, a planet, take turns being the most distant of the major bodies of our solar system in reference to the Sun For years, scientists were under the mistaken hypothesis that Pluto was the most distant. Scientists, in an attempt to study astronomical data, learned their hypothesis was inaccurate. Fortunately, it is of the scientists nature to investigate all data. On the basis of the data, the astronomers learned of the fact Uranus and Pluto have intersecting orbits. In addition, during the course of their investigation, they learned much of the nature of Uranus and Pluto.
July 29, 2005: "It's definitely bigger than Pluto." So says Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of
Pluto is unlike the other planets in that it has an icy surface instead of a rocky surface, like the inner 4 (terrestrial) planets, or a deep atmosphere, like the next 4 (gas giant) planets.
Have you heard about New Horizon’s impending flyby of Pluto? As the spaceship gets closer, it will take pictures of Pluto. Scientists hope that New Horizons will provide new information about the dwarf planet.
In the past the definition of a planet in space was a body that orbits a star, such as the sun, that reflects the star’s light and is larger than an asteroid. This is until new research by new technologies allowed us to learn more and change the definition of a planet. This new information changed the fact that Pluto is no longer a planet, but a dwarf. Dwarfs may confuse many people because it is hard to tell it apart from a planet.
It is currently March 13,2016, the day I start my journey across the solar system. I have been hired by NASA as an astronaut and given a mission. I am in a spacecraft ready to take off from Washington, D.C. What is being brought with me on this journey is freeze-dried foods, fuel, oxygen, maps of the solar system, and star charts. The planets I am going to come across are earth, venus, jupiter, and pluto. It will take me about 43 days to reach venus. Hopefully I reach venus safely and unharmed.
Pluto is smaller than any other planet and smaller than Earth’s moon. It’s dense and rocky but its nearest neighbors are the gaseous Jovian planets. It is due to this that it is believed that Pluto originated elsewhere in space and got caught in the sun’s gravity. Pluto’s orbit is erratic, all other planets orbit the sun in a flat plane.
Pluto is the ninth planet in Earth's solar system. However, throughout the years, Pluto has had many differing views on it. Some believe that it isn't a planet at all, since it does not meet all 3 classifications of a planet (Williams Dwarf). On the other hand many scientists do still classify Pluto as a planet. Looking past all of the controversy, Pluto still has a remarkable history in astronomy.
Many living beings have to face dark and poor times in their lives due to leaders choosing to make bad laws or because the leader chose to be a dictator. In Chapter 3, is the time when Napoleon starts to become a leader that will change Animal Farm in the future. According to my topic example, these real life events are happening in Animal Farm and also in the real life world we have had many dictators or traitors that lead to dangerous events to occur and that’s what Napoleon did in the story in Chapter 5 through 10. Also, he makes laws that isn’t fair for the other Animals that aren’t pigs because he feel like pigs are more worthy.
Pluto is smaller the Earth's moons and a handful of others moons. Like the galilean moons I mentioned in a previous journal entry. Pluto has 5 moons. Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. Charon, is the largest of the five moons, but did you know that Pluto used to be a Neptune moon, but somehow left its orbit.
Astronomers now label Pluto as a “dwarf planet” because it does not meet all of the criteria to be a planet. It is also not alone in its orbit; it is part of a wide group of small-scale objects that have been detected revolving around the Sun beyond Neptune.
This paper has demonstrated and examines how series of social and political procedure affects resilience at various spatial scales. Resilience is defined as the ability of individuals or communities to withstand and rebound from sudden natural disaster [earthquake, flood or hurricane] that accounts for the loss of life and properties. However, the definition of resilience is broad as resilience thinkers [Charles Holling and Neil Adger] have argued differently. For example, Holling defines resilience as “the ability of a system to absorb change of state variable, driving variables, and parameters, and still persist”(Holling, 1973), while Adger, defines resilience as “the ability of groups or communities to cope with external stresses and disturbances as a result of social, political and environmental change”(Adger, 2000). Understandably, thinker like Adger and Holling as Climate Change thinkers within the academic space have a different opinion to what constitutes the impact of climate change and best possible approaches needed towards building resilience within social and political frameworks.
The newest high-resolution eye-candy images of Pluto were released by the New Horizons mission team at a press conference today and, again, they did not disappoint. Details flow in and questions continue to mount as the formerly most-mysterious body in the solar system drops her veils. See below for images and video.
Santiago feels alarmed because he has no idea how to turn into the wind, and over the next three days he contemplates the desert. On the third day, he communicates with the wind and the sun and coaxes them to help him create a tremendous sandstorm. He prays to the Hand That Wrote All, and at the height of the storm he disappears. He reappears on the other side of the camp, and the tribesmen, awed by the power of the storm and by Santiago’s ability, let him and the alchemist go free. The alchemist continues to travel with Santiago as far as a Coptic monastery several hours from the pyramids. There, he demonstrates to Santiago his ability to turn lead into gold using the Philosopher’s Stone. He gives Santiago a piece gold and sends him off. Santiago begins digging for the treasure at the pyramids, but two men grab him and start beating him. When Santiago speaks to them about his dream and why he is there, they decide he must have no money and let him live. Before leaving, one of the men tries to tell him the worthlessness of dreams by telling Santiago about his own dream. It concerns a treasure buried in an abandoned church in Spain where a sycamore tree grows. The church is the same one in which Santiago had his original dream, and he finally understands where his treasure is.
As mentioned earlier, Pluto has a rather unusual orbit. Pluto, while it is the furthest planet from the sun, for twenty years during its two-hundred and forty nine year orbit, it is actually the eighth planet, crossing over Neptune’s orbit. Regardless of the fact that the orbits of the two planets cross, their orbits will not allow for them to ever collide. This is mainly due to Pluto’s orbiting not staying in the elliptic plane. Because of its unusual orbit, Pluto travels above and below Neptune as the cross, avoiding collision. What also allows these two bodies to cross paths and avoid impact is that when Pluto is at one side of the sun, Neptune is at the other. This is a result of Pluto taking three times as long to make one orbit around the sun in comparison to Neptune.
