The Fermi Paradox
If you were to ask different people what one of their biggest questions about our universe is, it’s pretty believable to think that one of the most common questions would be “Do aliens exist?”. This question is especially important in that it’s a question that no one really knows the answer to; whether or notContinue reading “The Fermi Paradox” Continue reading
Ultima Thule: The Space Peanut
When the New Horizon spacecraft set out into our solar system in January of 2006, we felt like we had a pretty good idea of all the possible things we could find in our solar system. While we may find some surprises, we figured everything would be mostly roundish, and composed of some rocky/icy surfaceContinue reading “Ultima Thule: The Space Peanut” Continue reading
The Depths of Europa
The smallest of Jupiter’s four Galilean Moons, Europa hides a world of fascination below its unassuming icy surface. Europa existed unbeknownst to mankind up until the early seventeenth century when the famous astronomer, Galileo Galilei, was first able to resolve Europa through his telescope at the University of Padua. It wasn’t for another three andContinue reading “The Depths of Europa” Continue reading

Historical Astronomers in Context
My Chosen Astronomer: Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727) acted as the individual who tied together all the theory and observations of the astronomers that came before him. His invention of calculus and other mathematical accomplishments allowed him to apply these new concepts to the perceived circular motion of the planets and moon to develop hisContinue reading “Historical Astronomers in Context” Continue reading
Blog Post 1: Universal Scale
In the preface to our textbook, A Cosmic Perspective, Dr. Tyson opens up his foreword by emphasizing the importance of having a cosmic perspective. He defines this kind of perspective as one that understands our place in the cosmos and the meaning that has for us as a species. But how do we go aboutContinue reading “Blog Post 1: Universal Scale” Continue reading
