The Days (And Years) Of Our Lives Looking at the numbers above, you'll immediately notice that you are different ages on the different planets. The earth is in motion. The top-like rotation of the earth on its axis is how we define the day. The revolution of the earth around the sun is how we define the year. We all learn in grade school that the planets move at differing rates around the sun. Why the huge differences in periods? Johannes Kepler Tycho Brahe Kepler briefly worked with the great Danish observational astronomer, Tycho Brahe. Here you see a planet in a very elliptical orbit. Kepler's third law is the one that interests us the most. Let's just solve for the period by taking the square root of both sides: The Gravity Of The Situation Isaac Newton ©2000 Ron Hipschman

The 10 most depressing Disney moments of all-time ? Guyism Scientists Discover The Oldest, Largest Body Of Water In Existence--In Space Scientists have found the biggest and oldest reservoir of water ever--so large and so old, it’s almost impossible to describe. The water is out in space, a place we used to think of as desolate and desert dry, but it's turning out to be pretty lush. Researchers found a lake of water so large that it could provide each person on Earth an entire planet’s worth of water--20,000 times over. Yes, so much water out there in space that it could supply each one of us all the water on Earth--Niagara Falls, the Pacific Ocean, the polar ice caps, the puddle in the bottom of the canoe you forgot to flip over--20,000 times over. The water is in a cloud around a huge black hole that is in the process of sucking in matter and spraying out energy (such an active black hole is called a quasar), and the waves of energy the black hole releases make water by literally knocking hydrogen and oxygen atoms together. The new cloud of water is enough to supply 28 galaxies with water.

ye nice one, team up if you want mate by bluemonkey Oct 24

kerryldilks I can look around and try and find a more accurate version for you! I'll let you know if I find one. by heartfailure1738 Oct 24

This is obviously very inaccurate, and when showing it for a group of students you would need to be very clear about that. I do like to show them in order to give them a visual starting point in their minds. (prior knowledge) by kerryldilks Oct 10

It may not be 100% accurate, but I thought it was pretty interesting to watch - you do kind of get lost in it after a while. by dero Oct 10

Yeah lol I zoned out on this too for a short period. You know, the funny thing is that it is not accurate. Planets (and moons) actually rotate away or towards whatever is pulling them. This is why Saturn has rings. The rings were once a large moon, and since Saturn has such a dense core, it pulled the moon a little too close and the moon was disintigrated into the rings we see today. Our moon was about 190,000 miles closer when the earth grabbed the materials for it and it formed. I'm not a science elitist or anything lol I just find it interesting and astrological sciences has become somewhat of a hobby to me ;) by heartfailure1738 Oct 9

Yeah it would be awesome to have at home. by sabre187 Oct 4

I zoned out on this for nearly an hour one night. by djsabefantastic Oct 4
