One Small Step? Neil Armstrong, the first man to supposedly land on the moon, once said: “Every sight in space is spectacular.” The question is, did he and America really land on the moon? Or was it a broadcasted fraud? When looking at the scenery, timing, science, etc it is clear that the United States did not land on the moon on July 20, 1969. When investigating the logistics and other aspects of the alleged moon landing all signs point...

Researchers from the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute published a paper that may explain the mysterious gap in the size of planets outside the solar system. Planets between 1.5 and 2 times the radius of the earth are extremely rare. This new study suggests that the reason may be that a slightly larger planet (called mini-Neptune) loses its atmosphere over time and gradually shrinks into a 'super-Earth' whose size is only slightly larger than our own planet...

The solar system was formed 4.6 billion years ago due to the gravitational collapse of a huge interstellar molecule cloud. Most of the system's mass is in the Sun and most of the rest is in Jupiter. The four small inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are planets on earth, mainly composed of rocks and metals. The four outer planets are huge planets that are much larger than the Earth. The two largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are gas...

The Earth, as of October 2019, provides the resources required for life for just over 7.7 billion human beings. Modern humanity did not evolve until recently, which was just about 200,000 years ago. Yet, humanity has managed to populate the earth heavily in such a small span of time. Due to humanity’s large population, the sustainable resources of the Earth have been declining at a rate that cannot be replenish. Even with the technological advances of today, humanity is still...

In pre-vedic periods in India, Ayurveda was found according to Ayurvendantana, stated to be divine revelation by Lord Brahma. The valuable knowledge was imparted to Dakhsha prajapati and Lord Indra in the form of shlokas. This knowledge was learned by Bharadvaja from Lord Indra himself. Bharadvaja taught ayurveda to a group of assembled sages who passed down this knowledge to their students. It was descriptively formalized in Charaka Samhita and Sushruta samhita, used for the teaching of Ayurveda in the...

Beginning with the invention of the telescope over 400 years ago, the field of astronomy hasprogressed rapidly, allowing humans to see distant celestial objects and study these to develop adeep understanding of the structure and evolution of the universe. Many notable astronomers havebeen crucial in the development of their field. However, very few of these have been women. InAustralia, just 15.3% of people forming the International Astronomical Union (IAU) are female (1), and only 33% of astronomy bachelor degrees in...

Astronomy is, “the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.” (Dictionary. Com). We are so advanced in science today that we sometimes neglect to educate ourselves on the scientists who paved how. It is astonishing that we have pictures of space and have physically landed on the moon! Astronomers, like award-winning astronomer Caroline Herschel, have observed and calculated data that enabled other scientists to advance in science to get us where...

Rationale Land based telescopes are better than Space telescopes mostly due to their physical size. Large land based telescopes gather a vast amount of light with their large mirrors and they can be used to survey substantial portions of the night sky. Whereas space telescopes are smaller in size and work with large land-based observatories to look at smaller regions of the night sky in plenty of detail. Justified scientific arguments using Evidence Land Based telescopes catch light waves and...

Introduction In 1751, Rousseau wrote, that “Astronomy was born of superstition” [1], while this is a rational statement it does ignore other factors; such as weather, time keeping, and navigation. The early stages of astronomy, from prehistoric to ancient history, suggests religion primarily aids the advancement of astronomy with added motivation to record and communicate what was observed. [2] Many observations made can be associated with natural phenomena, giving the impression that the movement in the heavens controls what happens...

What is the big bang? The Big Bang Theory was introduced in 1927 by George Lemaitre. The theory explains that over 13.8 billion years ago the world started at one small point, then it started to expand and stretch. The size of the small point continued to enlarge until it became known as earth. What evidence is there to support this theory on the origins of the universe? In 1929, after The Big Bang Theory was introduced a scientist named...

I think Pluto, in my opinion, is a planet. That might be an unpopular opinion. Here is my reasoning, and here is my argument.Pluto has been classified as a planet since 1930 when Clyde Tombaugh discovered it. As well as it fits a description of the planet during Roman times examples include Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus. So it could be a problem that is classified differently just because it’s in the Khyber belt with its icy brethren. The...
