space probe: Encyclopedia - Transit of Venus

A transit of Venus across the Sun takes place when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and the Earth, obscuring a small portion of the Sun's disc. During a transit, Venus can be seen from the Earth as a small black disc moving across the face of the Sun. The duration of such transits is usually measured in hours (the transits of 2004 and 2012 last about six hours). A transit is similar to a solar eclipse by the Moon, but, although the diameter of Venus is almost 4 times that of the Moon, Venus appears much smaller because ...

space probe: Encyclopedia II - Martian canals - History of canals

The Italian word canale (plural canali) can mean "canals" (including artificial canals or ducts) or "channels" or "gullies". [2] This ambiguity also exists in cognate words in other Romance languages such as French (canal), and also in German (Kanal). The first person to use the word canale in connection with Mars was Angelo Secchi in 1858, although he did not see any straight lines and applied the term to large features —for example, he used the name "Atlantic Ca ...

space probe: Encyclopedia II - Face on Mars - Interpretations

Most interpretations of the photo suggest that the feature is a natural landform, one of many mesas that scatter Cydonia. In this view of things, the appearance of a face is given by a combination of the angle of the lighting (with the sun low on the Martian horizon at the time the photo was taken), the low resolution of the photo tending to smooth out the irregularities of the surface, and the human brain's tendency to recognize familiar patterns, especially faces (pareidolia). Finally, a gap in the data sent back by Viking 1 created a black spot exactly where a nostril would be located on a human face. ...

space probe: Encyclopedia II - Deep Impact space mission - Mission events

Deep Impact space mission - Before launch. A comet-impact mission was first proposed to NASA in 1996. However, NASA engineers were skeptical that the target could be hit. [4] In 1999, a revised and technologically-upgraded mission proposal, dubbed Deep Impact, was accepted and funded as part of NASA's Discovery Program of low-cost spacecraft. The two spacecraft (Impactor and Flyby) and the three main instruments were built and integrated by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colorado, USA. The na ...

space probe: Encyclopedia II - Bracewell probe - Description

A Bracewell probe would be constructed as an autonomous robotic interstellar space probe with a high level of artificial intelligence, and all relevant information that its home civilization might wish to communicate to another culture. It would seek out technological civilizations — or alternatively monitor worlds where there is a likelihood of technological civilizations arising (see the Sentinel hypothesis) — and communicate over "short" distances (compared to the interstellar distances between inhabited worlds) once it discovered a c ...

space probe: Encyclopedia II - Ranger 3 - Spacecraft design

Ranger 3 was the first of the so-called Block II Ranger designs. The basic vehicle was 3.1 m high and consisted of a lunar capsule covered with a balsa wood impact-limiter, 650 mm in diameter, a mono-propellant mid-course motor, a retrorocket with a thrust of 5080 pounds force (22.6 kN), and a gold- and chrome-plated hexagonal base 1.5 m in diameter. A large high-gain dish antenna was attached to the base. Two wing-like solar panels (5.2 m across) were attached to the base and deployed early in the flight. Power was generated by 8680 solar c ...

space probe: Encyclopedia II - Transit of Venus - Scientific interest in transits

Apart from its rarity, the original scientific interest in observing a transit of Venus was that it could be used to determine the size of the solar system. The technique is to make precise observations of the slight difference in the time of either the start or the end of the transit from widely separated points on the Earth. The distance between the points on the Earth can then be used as a yard stick for the distance to Venus and the Sun. See "parallax". Although by the 17th century astronomers could calculate each planet's relativ ...

space probe: Encyclopedia II - Observations and explorations of Venus - Historical observations

Venus is the most prominent astronomical feature in Earth's morning and evening sky other than the Sun and Moon, and has been known since before recorded history. One of the oldest surviving astronomical documents, from the Babylonian library of Ashurbanipal around 1600 BC, is a 21-year record of the appearances of Venus (which the early Babylonians called Nindaranna). The ancient Sumerians and Babylonians called Venus Dil-bat or Dil-i-pat; in Akkadia it was the special star of the mother-god Isht ...

The lunar landscape is characterized by impact craters, their ejecta, a few volcanoes, hills, lava flows and depressions filled by magma. Geology of the Moon - Lunar highlands and lowlands. The most distinctive aspect of the Moon is the constract between its light and dark zones. Lighter surfaces are the lunar highlands, which receive the name of terrae (singular terra, from the Latin for Earth) and darker plains which are called maria (singular mare, from the latin for sea), after Johannes Kepler, who introduced the name in the 1600's. < ...

space probe: Encyclopedia II - Dawn Mission - Mission

The mission's goal is to characterize the conditions and processes of the solar system's earliest epoch by investigating in detail two of the largest protoplanets remaining intact since their formation. Ceres and Vesta have many contrasting characteristics that are thought to have resulted from them forming in two different regions of the early solar system; Ceres is theorized to have experienced a "cool and wet" formation that may have left it with subsurface water, and Vesta is theorized to have experienced a "hot and dry" formation that resulted in a differ ...
