James's+Mission+to+Mars+8G

James's Mission to Space 8G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had a interest in space Since i was in Grade 2. My Favourite Star is VY Canis Majoris Which is a Hypergiant. A Hypergiant is the Largest Type of Star Possible** Extrasolar Planets A Extrasolar Planet is a Planet that Orbits another Star My Extrasolar Planet system that i will put on display is the Solar Sytem known as 55 Cancri 55 Cancri has 4 Planets that orbit around it. The Star is only slighly smaller and younger then our sun. Here are the Planets and their Descriptions
 * Hi i,m James and this is My Wiki Page for Mission to Mars 8G

55 Cancri C Discovered in 2002 Type: Small Jupiter 55 Cancri D Discovered in 13 June 2002 Type: Massive Jupiter





Our Solar System

Our Solar System is over 5 Billion Years old. It Has 9 Planets with 1 Dwarf Planet Which is Known as Pluto Here is my investigation to the Solar System.

Mercury Mercury is a Small But Hot Planet. The Average Tempreture on the Planet is 427 Degrees at Midday and at Night -183 Degrees. The Planet is the smallest of the Solar System.

Venus Venus is slightly smaller then Earth. But is The Most Hottest Planet of the Solar System. Thanks to its Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere. Its Average Tempreture is 470 Degrees and Hardly Changes Tempreture During The Night. ​ Earth Our Very Own Planet is the Largest Rocky Planet in Our Solar System Mars Mars is a Very Small but Significantly Cool Planet. It Takes 686 Days to Make 1 Full Orbit Around the sun. Thats close to around 2 Ear th Years to Make 1 Full Orbit. It Has 2 Moons Which were Formely Asteriods. There Known as Phobos and Deimos. Its Average Tempreture is -5 Degrees. Asteriod Belt The Asteriod Belt Consists of Rock Which was left over from when the Solar System was Made. Jupiter Jupiter is the Largest Planet in Our Solar System. And takes 6 Hours to Make 1 Full Spin. The Planet is Known as a Jovian Planet because it has No Land. Its ocean Which is Full of Ammonia Has the Largest Ocean Out of our Solar System. It Has 63 Moons The Largest Which is Known as Ganymede is Larger Then Mercury and Pluto. Europa Which is Another of Jupiters Moon has a Frozen Ocean and Scientists are still trying to determine wether it has Life in its Sea. Also Possibly by 2050 Ganymede Could be as Bigger then Mars as Ganymede is Currently Expanding Quickly. Saturn Saturn is the 2nd Largest Planet in our Solar System after Jupiter. It Takes 10 Hours to Make 1 Full Spin. Saturn is Also Known as a Jovian Planet Because it has No Land and its Ocean is Full of Ammonia. Saturn has the Largest Amount of Satelites in the Solar System. Even Beating Jupiter. Saturn has a staggering 200 Moons! 59 Moons of Saturn are Major Moons the Rest Measure about 100 Metres to 1 KM Wide in Diameter. Saturn Has 1 Moon That Definetly Has Life on it All it needs is light and Heat from the Sun its known as Titan. And is one of the only moons in the Solar System to Have an Atmosphere. Uranus Uranus is the 3rd Largest Planet in our Solar System. It Takes 17 Hours to Make 1 Full Spin. Again it is also known as a Jovian Planet Because its a Planet full of Ocean. Uranus has 27 Moons. The Largest Being Known as Titania Which is 788 KM in Diameter. Uranus the whole Planet itself sits on its side. Why? because Shortly after its creation its was hit by a Mars-Sized Impact which was enough to chuck it on its side. Uranus Takes 84 Earth Years to Make 1 Full Orbit

Neptune Neptune is the 4th Largest Planet in the Solar System after Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. It Takes 16 Hours to Make 1 Full Orbital Spin. It Also Take 164 Earth Years to Make 1 Full Orbit Around the sun. Neptune Has 11 Moons. The Largest Being Triton Which even Has Volcanoes Which Erupt with Ice and Ammonia. Triton is 1350KM in Diameter. Xena: The New 9th Planet Xena the New 9th Planet is Just Slightly Smaller then the Moon by about 500 Metre's. The Planet has 1 moon known as Gabrielle. The Planet Just Sits outside the Kuiper Belt (Another Asteroid Belt) The Planets Orbit Sits outside the Kuiper Belt before Entering the Kuiper Belt cutting through Pluto's Orbit and ending up Going through Neptune's orbit before exiting Neptune and Pluto's orbit and going back through the Kuiper Belt back to where it started. The Planet Was Discovered in 2003. its estimated that the planet Makes 1 Full Orbit around the sun in 800 Earth Years Dwarf Planets There are Seven Dwarf Planets in our Solar System the Closest one sits in the Asteriod Belt. Its Known as Ceres. Ceres Ceres Was Discovered in 1801 by Italian Astronomer Known as Giuseppe Piazzia. The Average Tempreture on Ceres is -38 Degrees. Apparently it takes 1,680 Earth Days to make 1 Fullorbit around the sun.

Pluto Discovered on the 18th Febuary 1930 By Clyde. W Tombaugh Who was an American Astonomer. Pluto is the 2nd Largest Known Dwarf Planet after Eris. Pluto Has 3 Moons known as Charon, Nix and Hydra. The Largest being Known as Charon. Pluto's Orbit is similiar to that of Xena. Pluto Was Originally Classified as a Planet until 2006 When a Large Group of International Astronomers declared it would no longer be a planet. So it became a Dwarf Planet from 2006 onwards. Haumea Haumea was discovered in 2004 by J.L Ortiz and his crew in the Sierra Nevada Observatory at Spain. Haumea has 2 Moons known as Namaka and Ha'iaka. Both Moons have thought to have come from the impact that made Haumea when 2 Asteriods Collided while 2 Large bits of debris became the moons. And the Large bit of Debris Turning out to be Haumea. Makemake Makemake was Discovered in 2005 By American Astonomer Micheal Brown. Makemake's Orbit extends out beyond the kuiper belt then comes back in again to become the 3rd Closest Dwarf Planet to the sun After Ceres and Pluto. Makemake's Average Tempreture is -237 Degrees. Eris Eris was discovered in 2005 by Micheal Brown and his team at the Palomar Observatory. Eris has one Moon known as Dysnomia. Eris is 27% Larger then Pluto and is the Largest Dwarf Planet in our solar system. Making it the 9th Largest Sattlite to orbit the sun after Neptune. Apparently it takes 557 Earth Years to make one Full Complete orbit around our Sun.



Moons of the Solar System (Mars Onwards) Mars: Phobos and Deimos​

Phobos and Deimos Were Formerly Asteriods. And since being captured by Mars Gravitaional Pull.

Jupiters Four Major Moons Jupiter has Four Major Moons Known as Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Io Io Was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei. Io Has over 400 Geological Volcanoes Making it the most Geological Object in our Solar System Beating Earth and Triton (Neptune's Moon). Io 's Volcanoes Eject Sulphur 500Km into the Space.

Europa Europa is th smallest of these Four moons. Its also one of the only Planets to have Frozen Water. Scentists are wondering wether to send a probe down their to smash through the ice and explore down underneath its scaly surface.

Ganymede Ganymede Like the other 3 was Discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Ganymede is the largest of the four Galilean Moons. And is expanding quickly. Its size is bigger then Mercury and the Moon. Making it the Largest Moon in our Solar System. If weren't caught by Jupiter It would be Classified as a Planet. Ganymede like Europa and Callisto is Completly Frozen but Black instead. Apparently it has a Chemical in it that Makes the ice get bigger.

Callisto Callisto Like Ganymede has a Frozen Surface. But Callisto is More Blacker Then Ganymede. Callisto is Smaller but is the 2nd Biggest Galilean Moon After Ganymede. Although Unlike Ganymede Callisto Doesn't have the Chemical that Makes it Bigger. And Like Ganymede and Europa, Callisto might have the odd Feature Crater on it. Although Callisto is the most Cratered Moon out of Jupiters Moon System. It Also takes 18 Days to Orbit Jupiter. Callisto is the 3rd Largest moon in the Solar System after Ganymede and Saturn's Moon Titan.

Saturn's Moon System

Saturn's Moon System has 64 Moons only 1 over Jupiters System. To visit the full list of Saturn's Moons please click on the following link []. I will Present to you 3 of Saturns Largest Moons. They are Titan, Rhea, and Iapetus Titan Titan is one of the only moons of the Solar System to have a Full Atmosphere. Titan is the 2nd Largest moon in the Solar System. Titan was discovered by Dutch Astonomer Christian Huygens in March 25th 1655. And is the 2nd Object in the Solar System (After Earth) To have Proper Liquid Which Contains Water Cells in the Solar System. It has All the Ingridenients of Life so all it needs is Heat and Sunshine. Titan Takes 15 Days to make one Full orbit around Saturn

Rhea

Rhea is the 2nd Largest Moon that orbits Saturn after Titan. And was discovered in 1672 by Italian Astronomer Giovanna Cassini. Rhea is 1,528KM in Diameter. And is the Most Airless Moon of Saturn. Meaning That it has NO Atmosphere. Rhea has 2 Great Canyons and is Pockmarked with over 50 Crater Marks.

Iapetus Discovered Again by Giovanna Cassini but this Time 1 Year earlier in 1671. Iapetus has One unsual Feature about it. One Side is Blanketed in Dark Material while the otherside is blanketed in Nomal Moon Dust Material. Scientists are still Making Theorys on how the Unsual Dark Matter Got on to the side of Iapetus. Iapetus Takes 79 Days to make One Full orbit around the Saturn.



Uranus's Satelite System Uranus has 27 Moons in total. The Largest Three that i Will Show you will be Titania, Oberon, Umbriel. To View the Other 27 Moons Click on this Link. [] Titania Titania is the Largest Moon of Uranus and is the 8th Largest Moon in the Solar System. It was Discovered by British Astronomer William Herschel in January 11th 1787. Titania Also has a Very Weak Atmosphere Made up of Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen and Methane. Titania has Two Valleys and Fifteen Named Craters. Titania is the 17th Closest Planet to Uranus. Titania Takes 7 Days to Make 1 Full orbit around Uranus.

Oberon Oberon Was Discovered By William Herschel on the Exact Same Day he Discovered Titania. Oberon is the 9th Biggest Moon in the Solar System and is the 18th Closest Moon to Uranus. Oberon Takes 14 Days to Make an Orbit Around Uranus. Unlike Titania, Oberon Has No Atmosphere. But Like Titania Oberon Does have Many Craters and Valleys.

Umbriel Umbriel Was Discovered by Royal British Astronomer William Lassell on 24th October 1851. Umbriel Has No Atmosphere. It Takes 4.1 Days to Orbit the Planet. It has Thirteen Known Named Craters. Umbriel is 1,169 KM in Diameter. Umbriel is the 2nd Most Heavily Cratered Object in Uranus Satelite System after Oberon.

Neptune's Satelite System Neptune has 13 Satelites in total. There Would have Been A Lot more but Because of Triton's Capture. All of the Major Moons were Destroyed after Triton Obliterated all of them. While the Remaining Debris Became Neptune's Ring's. I Will Show you Triton Because its the most Interesting Moon out of all of them. Triton Triton Was Discovered by Royal British Astronomer William Lassell Who Also Discovered Uranus's Moon Umbriel It Was Discovered in the Year 1846. Triton is the 3rd Most Geological Object in Our Solar System After Earth and Jupiter's Moon Io. Triton Does have An Atmosphere. Its Made up of Nirtogen and Methane Traces. The Methane Traces Coming From Neptune and the Nitrogen Coming From Triton's Volcanoes which Erupt with Nitrogen. Triton Takes Just 5.9 Days to Orbit Around Neptune. But in 3.6 Billion Years From Now Triton Will No Longer Exist. It will Either act as a Giant Meteorite and Coming Crashing Threw Neptune's Crust and Cause the Whole Planet to Flip on its side Like Uranus. Or It Will Break up before it reaches the Atmosphere and Make a New Ring Around Neptune Which Would Look Similiar to That of Saturn's Ring.

Our Sun 5 Billion Years From Now! Are We Doomed?

media type="youtube" key="iauIP8swfBY" height="385" width="640" ​ And You Thought that Was the End? You were Wrong!

The End of The Sun! Scientists Say that in 5 Billion Years that the Sun Will Expand and Consume the Orbits and Planets of Mercury, Venus, and Earth, But Other's Say that the Sun Will Expand to Consume up to Jupiter. If So There Would Be a Very Big Explosion If Jupiter Were to go into the Rapidly Expanding Sun.
