PHYS1160 – Space Mission To Pluto Question: The “New Horizons” mission is on its way to explore the outer Solar System. Describe the objectives of the mission and important scientific instruments on the space probe. Discuss what we have learnt about Pluto after the closest approach to this dwarf planet. Explain how this mission helps us to understand the processes of formation and evolution of the planetary system. Space exploration is one of the most important and essential technologies in our

Formally, classified natural satellites or moons include 176 planetary satellites orbiting six of the eight planets. Of the inner planets, Mercury and Venus have no natural satellites; Earth has one large natural satellite, known as the Moon; and Mars has two tiny natural satellites, Phobos and Deimos. The large gas giant planets have extensive systems of natural satellites, including half a dozen comparable in size to Earth 's Moon. The objects in the solar system are classified foremost by their

Ahhh. Robots. Some may think they are creepy and some may be fascinated by how they work. But how do robots come in handy when exploring space? Robots come in handy when exploring space because of the fact that robots can travel further than a human and they also don’t need as many necessities as a human does. People may have different opinions about sending robots versus humans to space. I am in fact one of those people that have a different opinion. I go back and forth with believing that well

sheet of toilet paper to reach the destination of which the next or neighboring planet was from its neighboring planet. We started with the Sun, then Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, until we finally reached our final planet, Neptune. We drew dots to represent each planet. In our lab activity, we created and demonstrated a relative scale model to show how the planets are aligned and the distance between each of them. We created this model, so that we could better understand the

In 1905 Pervical Lowell was the fist person to notice Pluto and he started observing Neptune and Uranus and he observed a similarity from this two planets and Pluto. After almost 25 years Pluto then was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh and like it was stated in the “Pluto files” Core Friday, Pluto was then named after an 11 year old girl who told her grandfather that “the new world get its name from the Roman god of the underworld “ from there her grandfather passed the name on to Lowell Observatory

Have you ever wondered about what else may be out there in the universe? Well as it turns out there are many more things than what may meet the eye. I have always been interested about what's been going on away from earth as well as what's on it so this topic really sparked my interest. One of those many hidden wonders that have been controversial away from earth is a planet scientists like to call Planet 9. Planet 9 was discovered by two Caltech researchers by the names of Mike Brown and Konstantin

Neptune:the ice planet When was Neptune discovered?“Neptune was the very first planet to be discovered by using math! (mathematics). After the discovery of Uranus in 1781, astronomers noticed that the planet was being pulled a little bit out of its normal orbit. John Couch Adams of Britain and Urbain Jean Joseph Leverrier of France, used math to figure out that the gravity from another planet beyond Uranus was affecting the orbit of Uranus. They figured out not only where the planet was, but also

Further  observations of Neptune in the late 19th century led astronomers to believe that Uranus's orbit was being disturbed by a large unknown object besides Neptune. In 1906, Percival Lowell—a wealthy Bostonian who had founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, in 1894—started an extensive project in search of a possible ninth planet

The discovery of Neptune has greatly impacted astronomers because of a dark spot that could swallow the earth, but two other dark spots have appeared over the last decade. Neptune is consed the ice giant because on its surface can reach -235 degrees Celsius or -391 degrees Fahrenheit even though the temperatures reach almost 400 degrees fahrenheit there have been gyses found the “spewing ice materials out from the ground”. Neptune has 14 moons, but a 14th tiny, dim moon has been discovered, most

On January 19, 2006 NASA launched the New Horizon Space Probe from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. It soured into space via the Atlas-V rocket. The New Horizon Space Probe is part of the New Frontier Program which was developed in 2001. This program was designed to explore new frontiers via satellites in our solar system. The New Horizon Space Probe was sent into space to explore Pluto (at the time it was considered a planet) and its moons. By the time the probe reached Pluto the planet
