    Advancements On Solar System

    Uploaded by

    Lembert Casinillo
    Pluto was discovered in 1930 as the ninth planet, but its status was later questioned after the discovery of the Kuiper Belt. In 2005, Eris was discovered and found to be larger than Pluto, leading to their classification as dwarf planets. While some astronomers speculate there may be a ninth planet detected through its gravitational influence, this remains unproven. NASA has sent rovers to Mars to examine its surface and determine if life is viable. The Mars One program aims to establish a human colony on Mars by 2027. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, was found to have liquid methane on its surface, indicating the possibility of chemical processes that could support life if solar exposure increased.

    ADVANCEMENTS ON THE SOLAR

    SYSTEM
    MYRA S. HASIM, RN,MAN
    PLUTO’S STATUS
     IN 1930, CLYDE TOMBAUGH DISCOVERED PLUTO AS THE NINTH PLANET IN THE SOLAR
    SYSTEM.
     HOWEVER, THE DISCOVERY OF KUIPER BELT (AN AREA AFTER NEPTUNE THAT CONTAINS
    ASTEROIDS, COMETS, AND OTHER CELESTIAL BODIES) QUESTIONED THE STATUS OF PLUTO AS
    A PLANET.
     IN 2005, ERIS, A KUIPER BELT OBJECT, WAS DISCOVERED TO BE 10 PERCENT BIGGER THAN PLUTO.

     AT FIRST, ERIS WAS SUGGESTED AS THE TENTH PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
     ITS INCAPABILITY TO CLEAR ITS ORBIT DUE TO LACK OF GRAVITY LED TO CLASSIFY IT AS A DWARF
    PLANET TOGETHER WITH PLUTO.
     DWARF PLANETS ARE CELESTIAL BODIES THAT ORBIT THE SUN, HAVE ENOUGH MASS TO ASSUME A
    NEARLY ROUND SHAPE, AND HAVE NOT CLEARED ITS ORBIT DUE TO LACK OF GRAVITY.
    PLANET X
     HOWEVER, RECENT OBSERVATIONS BY TWO ASTRONOMERS, MIKE BROWN AND KONSTANTIN
    BATYGIN, LED TO THE SPECULATION THAT A NINTH PLANET IS PRESENT IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

     THEY DISCOVERED SIX CLUSTERED OBJECTS IN THE KUIPER BELT AND STATED THAT THIS CLUSTERING IS
    DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF A PLANET ENOUGH TO PUT THEM IN PLACE.
     HOWEVER, OTHER ASTRONOMERS STATED THAT UNTIL IT IS SEEN, THE CLAIM FOR THE NINTH PLANET
    IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM IS STILL IN QUESTION.
    MARS ROVER MISSION
     SINCE 1970S, NASA HAS BEEN
    DEPLOYING MARS EXPLORATION
    ROVERS TO EXAMINE THE NEAREST
    PLANET TO EARTH, MARS.
     THEY EXAMINED MATERIALS OF MARS’
    LITHOSPHERE AND ASSESSED IF THE
    WEATHER CONDITION IS VIABLE FOR
    THE SURVIVAL OF LIFE.
     ITS MISSION WAS FOCUSED ON THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
    OF THE PLANET.
     IT AIMED TO COLLECT DATA ON HOW THE PLANET FORMED ITS
    ROCKS AND SOIL AND WHETHER OR NOT WATER HAS BEEN
    RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WEATHERING AND EROSION OF ROCKS.
    MARS ONE PROGRAM
     THE MARS ONE PROGRAM
    AIMS TO LAND THE FIRST
    HUMANS ON MARS AND
    2014
    ESTABLISH A HUMAN COLONY
    ON THAT PLANET BY 2027.
     THE TARGET IS THAT BY THE
    YEAR 2022, THE FIRST CREW
    WILL START ITS TRAVEL TO
    MARS AND WILL REACH IT
    AFTER A YEAR.
     BY 2035, THE COLONY WILL HAVE TWENTY CREW AND
    WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN ITSELF.
    TITAN’S WATER
    TITAN IS SATURN’S LARGEST MOON.
    ASTRONOMERS STUDYING THE TITAN’S COMPOSITION
    LEAD TO THE DISCOVERY THAT LIQUID SUBSTANCE IS
    PRESENT ON THE MOON IN THE FORM OF LIQUID
    METHANE.
    THE DISCOVERY OF TITAN HAS BEEN A BREAKTHROUGH.
    IT WAS ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE TITAN IS
    UNDERGOING CHEMICAL PROCESSES, THE SAME
    PROCESSES THAT THE EARLY EARTH HAVE UNDERGONE. Image taken from Cassini spacecraft
    IF THE SUN BECAME LARGE ENOUGH, IT WILL RECEIVE
    THE SAME AMOUNT OF SOLAR ENERGY WE ARE
    RECEIVING, THUS, MAKING THE POSSIBILITY FOR LIFE’S
    SURVIVAL POSSIBLE.
